Healthcare IT Solutions and Services

Lately, talk about healthcare seems to dominate the news. At IT Cadre, we've focused on healthcare for years. IT Cadre provides healthcare industry and technology-related services to health systems, hospitals, physician offices, and home care businesses. IT Cadre also has a unique tablet-based software solution designed specifically to help home healthcare providers deliver quality services.

@HomeCare

Quality information is at the heart of quality healthcare.

@HomeCare is a point of care system that places secure patient data, standards of care and organizational processes at the provider’s fingertips – reducing administrative overhead while ensuring consistency.

• Enhanced Patient Care - @HomeCare gives caregivers in the field access to current patient medical information as well as up to date treatment information on their laptops, iPads and other mobile devices. Nurse’s visits are pre-populated with patient data – all aimed to allow the healthcare professional to focus on the touch time and reduce the administrative burden.
• Improved Efficiency - @HomeCare forms are organized for ease of use. Data needs to be entered only once. Patient data and orders are automatically extracted from the referral to pre-populate the initial assessment. The initial assessment is used to pre-populate the Plan of Care (CMS Form 485) which aids the provider in capturing the information at the patient site, giving them the ability to get reimbursements faster.
• Better Results - The scheduling feature provides management the ability to efficiently create schedules for both caregivers and patients.  Other management tools enable administrators to quickly and accurately assess information that in turn helps improve patient outcomes and organizational efficiencies.

Healthcare Services

Improving services, reducing costs, advancing healthcare.

There are efforts underway right now at hospitals, medical centers and provider services centers to implement Electronic Medical Records (EMR), and convert from ICD-9 to ICD-10 diagnostic codes. In addition to these efforts, these centers are under enormous pressure to improve coding accuracy to insure accurate billing and reduce rejections as well as decrease the revenue cycle time from billing to collections.   

Although many projects happen simultaneously, they are managed and run as separate projects by many organizations. With deadlines approaching, incentives expiring, and penalties for non-compliance looming, solutions are being forced to fit within the current structure, creating additional work for employees and causing friction between departments. The objectives to increase productivity and revenue, avoid penalties, garner incentives and improve patient outcomes  are out of reach.
