LINTECH Participates in LeadingAge CAST EHR White Paper

LeadingAge Center for Aging Services Technologies (CAST) recently announced the release of whitepaper, EHR For Long-Term and Post-Acute Care. A Primer for Planning and Vendor Selection. LINTECH’s Chief Software Architect, Doron Gutkind was proud to participate as a member of the EHR Workgroup, along with other HIT leaders. Also, LINTECH is pleased to be one of the EHR vendors participating in the 2013 CAST EHR Selection Matrix.

The purpose of this paper is to aid LeadingAge members, CAST members and other aging services organizations in choosing an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system that fits the needs of the organization, its providers and consumers/patients/clients. This paper builds upon these two excellent toolkits by summarizing the important steps a provider should take.

The selection matrix focuses on clinical systems that are offered by and aims to show providers how EHR’s impact clinical outcomes and reimbursement. LINTECH's COMET Point of Care – Clinical/EMR program is highlighted in the matrix and offers automated solutions to improve workflow, productivity and the quality and accuracy of real-time documentation.

CAST LeadingAge Case Study Findings

LINTECH’s COMET™ Point-of-Care application was recently the subject of a CAST case study provided by Monroe Community Hospital at the LeadingAge Annual Meeting. The case study, Upgrading an Existing EHR (Electronic Health Record), provided answers to questions about implantation, use and impacts of EHRs in regards to long-term and post-acute care (LTPAC) providers.

One of the outcomes of the case study showed that COMET helped save valuable employee time. There was an improvement in workflow specifically for certified nursing assistants (CNAs). Previous paper documentation is usually completed in the last hour of a CNA’s shift. Now this time has been given back to direct resident care. The accuracy of the documentation has improved because observations and treatments are recorded immediately after they are completed, rather than at the end of a shift. They are also not influenced by what has already been documented.

Check back for other outcomes from the LeadingAge CAST case study.
