Solutions for Rehabilitation
MediLinks IRFPPS
The MediLinks IRFPPS Software Solution is designed to target the specific challenges of managing the Prospective Payment System in your Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility (IRF). The following is only a small sampling of what MediLinks IRFPPS will provide for your organization:
Patient Functional Independence Measurement scores are one of the most important determinants of the IRFPAI and CMS reimbursement, and even with a proven scoring process there is no reliable way to ensure that scores are based on all of the scoring criteria instead of just a clinician’s experience and judgment. The MediLinks IRFPPS Software Solution addresses this critical area of inpatient rehabilitation by ensuring that your clinicians focus on the scoring criteria instead of the numerical score itself. This significantly reduces subjectivity and results in scores that are both consistent and accurate. Ultimately, these improvements lead to appropriate reimbursements and sufficient funds for adequate patient care. The MediServe IRFPPS Software Solution is also designed to automatically provide all of the documentation needed to properly substantiate reimbursement submissions thereby protecting revenue.
Capturing accurate Functional Independence Measurement scores is critical, but it's only half of the work. MediLinks IRFPPS includes all of the necessary tools for IRFPAI completion and submission and will:
- Automatically determine appropriate admission and discharge IRFPAI scores using clinical documentation
- Help you track the completion and export dates for the IRFPAI
- Generate CMG as determined by CMS regulations
- Export the IRFPAI to third party benchmarking solutions
Today's Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) and Health Information Systems (HIS) are capable of capturing patient data, but their value almost always ends there. MediLinks IRFPPS is not only able to capture patient data, but also has the built-in workflow expertise that can control the quality of the data that's captured. Additionally, MediLinks IRFPPS is capable of capturing and using patient data for clinical outcomes and financial reporting and has built-in safety measures to strengthen compliance in the documentation process. MediLinks IRFPPS will also seamlessly integrate with virtually any Health Information System including Cerner, Epic, MediTech, McKesson, Eclipsys and Siemens.
