The newly launched service is designed to streamline the nursing home selection process. Currently, research into the level of infection in skilled nursing home facilities, is very time consuming. Patient Care Guide aims to dramatically improve and hasten the process.
The website is designed to help you discover helpful information about care providers and facilities in their chosen area across the US. This resource covers long-term care hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation facilities, dialysis facilities, home health services, nursing homes and hospice care.
Now they have expanded their nursing home solutions for case managers with the launch of their clinic safety data solution. This is important, because due to the increase in COVID-19 hospitalizations there is growing concern of clinical staffing and bed availability in the hospitals.
The newly updated online tool allows you to review nursing homes and track their weekly infection totals. This leads to a heightened sense of transparency, which is beneficial for patients when it comes to choosing their ideal home for continued care.
Patients who are preparing to discharge from hospital to nursing homes are often delayed, due to the timeliness it takes for a case manager to gather virus information.
Now, when case managers visit the Patient Care Guide website, they can easily search for nursing homes using the patients’ zip code anywhere in the US.
The weekly report from the nursing home features the weekly and ongoing totals of confirmed and suspected cases. Nursing homes report weekly to the CDC’s National Healthcare Society Network System. The technology used in the new design is able to compile this data and give it to the user as it is reported.
Additionally, nursing homes can log in to update their profile, in real time, whether or not they are currently accepting patients who are actively positive for the virus.
