Assessments & Documentation

HCS Assessments

A comprehensive and flexible toolset that enables clinicians to assess, review, document and follow up on patient status. The HCS Assessments Design Kit allows users to create and/or customize clinician level documentation based on existing or prospective workflows. If your facility currently documents on paper or another EHR, the HCS Assessments Design Kit provides the flexibility to mimic your existing documents while capturing data discretely. The end user can select from a library of existing assessments, build custom assessments, or both. Assessments can be used as a one-time documentation event or as an ongoing documentation with configurations that allow the facility to specify data entry as optional or required. Data entry can be accomplished via text input, drop-down select, radio button and multi-select options making customization simple and workflows effective. Below is an abbreviated list of available templates.

• Psychiatric Evaluation
• History and Physical
• Nursing Assessment
• Intake Assessment
• Psychosocial History

HCS Safety Checks

HCS Safety Checks (US Patent No. 11,869,638) is an electronic patient monitoring system and rounding tool that replaces a paper-reliant method of tracking and recording patients' status. While patient safety check monitoring is mandatory in behavioral health facilities and also commonly practiced in high-acuity clinics, surgical suites, emergency rooms and nursing homes, a paper safety check process can be time-consuming and error-prone.

Using a combination of patient pictures, surveillance status, configurable interval requirements, and visual cues, HCS Safety Checks provides clinicians and technicians with an improved software supported workflow that streamlines timely, accurate patient care and documentation. While not required, when used with a patient proximity device, an additional security layer is offered by providing confirmation of the surveyor’s proximity to the patient during the observation.

Capable of stand-alone application or use in conjunction with an electronic medical record, HCS Safety Checks results in greater accuracy, speed, and efficiency, which ultimately provides better outcomes while enforcing greater compliance. Compliance requirements and audit metrics are easily accessed via the onboard analytics dashboard.

• Intuitive electronic workflow
• Straightforward design aids rapid adoption
• Configurable visual cues and risk indicators
• Unique patient identifier and proximity device
• Embedded analytics
• Audit and compliance roll-up and reporting
