MedLink Spitex
Comprehensive
The management of a homecare organization is based on a set of processes and workflows that allow staff to provide complete patient care in a simple and structured way.
Initial patient onboarding covers all elements of the patient request and the administrative record. This phase must be able to be carried out quickly, efficiently and simply so that the applicant is immediately reassured on the quality of the welcome and the efficiency of the organization to which it is addressed.
The second step is to organize the necessary interventions for an effective patient management and in accordance with the regulations in force. The evaluation based on the RAI and interRAI tool as of 2019 is conducted followed by the nursing diagnosis and then the benefits are assigned in a structured manner based on a catalog of certified acts accepted by the insurance companies and other financial actors.
Once this step is completed, the planning of the activities is built in a simple and automated way taking into account the skills and all the criteria related to the patient’s situation and geography. MedLink offers a true planning management module that integrates multiple dimensions and allows for an exhaustive planning of all activities without any of them being neglected.
The field caregivers receive all the information they need to make their visits and can at any time on the move as in the office document the patient’s file, send in a completely secure way clinical, logistic and administrative transmissions that are instantly accessible by their colleagues and possibly by members of the primary network of the patient (eg doctor).
At the end of each intervention, various options for the creation of timesheets are offered depending on the internal organization of the homecare company. Thus, the control of time and the quality of the services are controlled, and very precise data is provided for the invoicing.
Billing is then generated at the end of the month with fully accurate data to the different financing actors. An electronic billing module is available to automate the entire billing flow.
Finally, accounting and salaries are transparently and fully integrated within specialized partner applications.
Medlink Spitex is a comprehensive patient record management tool, 100% Web-based and accessible anywhere, anytime.
