Stay compliant with Inspection Analysis Synkwise

Adult Family Home Compliance with Inspection Analysis

Note: Inspection analysis is available for WA State Only Customers (for now).

Healthcare is an at-risk industry that is highly regulated in just about everything: HIPPA security standards, minimum licensing requirements, narcotic dispense regulations, charting accuracy and so much more. Maintaining compliance is everything when it comes to protecting your facility and the resident patients under your watch. Care Providers are responsible for meeting the requirements of the current Washington Administrative Codes (WAC’s) & Revised Codes of Washington (RCW’s). If your facility does not correspond to industry norms and laws, you’re exposing yourself to citations and elevated liability.

Stay compliant with Inspection Analysis

Let’s take a look at how the Synkwise Inspection Analysis works and helps improve compliance. Our solution audit’s all documents (Provider, Resident, and Employee records).

The Diagnostics module is divided into three main sections:

Facility Records

It audits all facility records, such as mock inspections, evacuation drills to be completed every two months, business license validation, and documents related to Facility Policies and Procedures.

Resident Care
Resident Records

This section checks all resident records: assessments, care plans, Physician orders, missed medications, PRN’s medication follow-up documents, and other legal documents.

Employee Records

This section tracks all employee records: hire date, credential requirements for all care staff, required training, continued education documents, etc.

Here are some of the main features of the Inspection Analysis in a nutshell:

Expiration Dates

The inspection module allows you to verify the expiration dates of each critical document easily. Once running the analysis, the outdated documents are reflected in the total score and marked with a red indicator. There is a possibility to set a new expiration date for an outdated document inside the rule.

Inspection Preferences

Our Inspection Preferences allow you to easily disable or enable a rule depending on your facility’s preferences or applicability. Always pursue best practices!

Other Features

You can easily give licensor access to the Inspection or print the Current Inspection Report. Useful lifehack: in order to take off a licensor or family account from the Inspection, you can mark them as Non-Employee in Update Staff Information so that their presence in the list of employees does not affect the final score.

To conclude, Inspection Analysis is used to assess and document the current state of compliance oversight and management, as well as helps to keep track of missing or expiring documents and dates for a staff account, resident, and facility. Washington State has one of the most stringent licensing standards in the nation for Long-Term Residential Care Settings. These requirements are highly complex; they change frequently, often requiring operational and workflow changes, ongoing education, internal audits, health IT compliance updates, and more.

Additionally, DSHS licensors inspect licensed homes and providers every 10 to 18 months on average. Inspections take place without warning. Therefore, providers must comply at all times.

Compliance Analysis is crucial to creating a safe, high-performing, high-reliability environment. Our mission is to ensure that everyone in your organization understands how their actions contribute to healthcare compliance and the target inspection score. Book a demo to discover how Synkwise can help you comply with all the requirements, applicable laws, and regulations. 

Top 5 benefits of using an eMAR

In today’s digital era, the usage of electronic medical and health records in long-term care facilities is rather limited; but it is a necessity and a key factor to success. Why?

Here are the top 5 reasons why using eMAR (electronic Medication Administration Record) can benefit your Healthcare Facility: 

1. The highest standard of medication administration

Medication mistakes are one of the most prevalent errors hospitals, nursing homes, and healthcare facilities want to avoid at all costs. eMAR enhances med passing workflow by drastically minimizing the number of labor hours spent on medication distribution and paper-based record keeping as well as the possibility of drug-related mistakes such as improper dosing or incorrect route of administration.

2. Pharmacy Integrations

Direct connection with your pharmacy enhances communication flow and helps to increase the accuracy of each resident’s medication list. Pharmacy delivers medicine orders directly to the Pharmacy module within eMAR so that all resident’s MARs are precise and up-to-date. Discontinued and dispensed orders are accurately communicated; as well as expiring medications are handled in a timely manner.

3. Using Mobile Devices

Caregivers can utilize any portable device to record when the medication is administered to the patient and can add any relevant notes, such as the drug that was not given, refused, and why. This data is automatically inserted into the medication log in real-time. Less emphasis on paperwork and more time spent with the patient improves efficiency and quality.

4. Easy Reporting 

Making monthly reports with paper-based MAR sheets is a huge task. To prepare a report, the care home staff must manually go through each and every piece of paper. They can quickly prepare monthly reports with eMAR.  Every medication, care task, and vital record is fully documented. More accurate medication records and other patient histories are just one click away. Staff members can create detailed reports that span days, weeks, months, or even years, in addition to monthly reports.

5. Compliance is ensured

Synkwise’s eMAR allows performing the audit of Med Log so that the physicians or nurses can instantly view the late medication passes. Furthermore, we bridge the gap across the spectrum of care since eMAR is integrated with other modules: Dashboard, Health Monitor, Inspection, etc. Every medication, care task, and vital record is fully documented. With this implementation, staff members have a wide range of resident’s information. This leads to enhanced resident safety.

To top it off, eMAR is a valuable tool that greatly reduces the time spent on documentation and the risk of mistakes or delays during the administration process. More accurate medication records and other patient histories are just one click away. Book a demo to explore how eMAR can improve productivity at your Facility.

Uplifting The Standard of Residential Care With Synkwise

Uplifting The Standard of Residential Care With Synkwise

Finding and maintaining order and visibility in your residential care facility (AFH, ACH, ALH, etc.) can be a daunting task. Each of your residents has unique needs, service, and care plans to be followed diligently, and with these plans changing frequently, it’s not uncommon for some details to be overlooked. This doesn’t only risk providing the highest level of care to your residents, but potentially exposes you to liability from regulatory agencies. 

The Most Common Citation Factors

One of the most common reasons for citations to be issued to a facility involves errors in medication management. Prescriptions for your residents can change frequently as their health and needs evolve, so staying on top of accounting for any meds on hand can get hard to manage in short order. You never want to have orders that are out of date and irrelevant, or medications on hand that residents are no longer prescribed or perhaps in different dosages than required. 

All of this disarray can quickly lead to a situation where administrations are missed or improperly charted. There’s perhaps not a more potentially grave situation for patient well-being and facility liability than this. 

Keeping Care Plans Up To Date  

Residential care facilities are very familiar with the concept of a care or service plan, it guides caregivers in addressing every need of resident patients. They also know just how out of control these plans can become and in short order. When a resident first moves into your facility their care plan can probably fit into a binder just fine, but after a year or more of care, they can quickly balloon to a stack of binders including care plans, face sheets, agreements, medical history, discharge, paperwork, progress notes, etc. This disarray makes full visibility over their health and care nearly impossible to achieve.  

You could try digitizing the information into a word document or PDF, but you’ll soon realize that being able to stay on top of the needs for proper plan management is an astronomical task without a specialized solution. A simple document, even if it is digital, can’t take proactive steps like reminding you of upcoming medication administrations or missed doses. 

You need to ensure that the plan is accurate at all times, signed off on by any relevant parties when developed or altered. On top of that, it needs to be quickly accessible to licensors, doctors and third-party clinicians. None of this can be adequately managed with a single document, likely with far too many versions in circulation. 

Real-Time Visibility

The standard of care for most residential care facilities typically doesn’t permit complete oversight of every resident at all times, let alone remotely. Administrators need to rely solely on the word of their staff to make sure that all patients are receiving medication administration to the proper times and that all care plans are being met diligently. 

It’s almost 2022, facility administrators should be able to have a complete look at the health of their operation from the top down. This will minimize the possibility of mistakes and ensure the highest level of care for your resident patients, allowing your facility to stand out in a landscape where patients have more options every day for managed care. The rest of the medical community has fully embraced the use of technology for health management, why haven’t we for the care of the elderly? 

How Synkwise Raises the Standard of Care 

An all-in-one solution to the management of your residential care facility is here with Synkwise! Using our platform, administrators can have complete visibility over the care and management of every patient. From the dashboard, you can know if there are any potential red flags in your facility from one place. With email alerts and reminders for medications, care plans or any other documents that have an expiration or renewal date.

You’ll never miss a dose again with digital charting and med reminders integrated into each patient’s profile. Every aspect of your facility can be monitored remotely as well as on-site. Every document for each resident resides in a central location with robust organizational tools built-in. All the information you need is at your fingertips when you need it, and all changes made are reflected across the board instantly.

A Better Picture of Health

Having an outlook on the patient’s overall health at any specific time it’s very important, but what’s even more valuable is to see the trend over time. Our fluid progress note charting makes it simple for all staff to complete end-of-shift charting. Taking all of the data points from a specific patient’s chart, Synkwise will generate a visual representation so you can see what direction their Health is heading and what specific factors need to be addressed most. 

We offer a system centered around accountability that lets you focus on completing tasks to enhance residents’ quality of life. This will allow you to give patients the best care possible with complete oversight and the most judicious use of resources on hand.
