Case StudiesThornberry Ltd's NDoc product is a proven solution that has enabled clients across the country to improve effectiveness, efficiency and staff morale, while reducing costs and increasing revenue. Enabling ExcellenceWhile a silver bullet does not exist, there are steps every agency can take to ensure clinical excellence. more New York Agency Solves M0825 Problem with Clinical Software, Targeted TrainingAsk ten Medicare-certified home health agency administrators to name their most vexing billing problem and there is a good chance nine of them will say "M0825." Under current Medicare Prospective Pay System (PPS) rules, a nurse employs professional judgment during an initial assessment to make what amounts to an educated guess as to whether a patient will need physical and/or occupational therapy and, if so, in how many visits over the coming 60 days. Recorded at OASIS question number M0825, it is a judgment with far-reaching consequences. Any software system that could eliminate some of the guesswork would certainly be valuable. more Agency-Vendor Collaboration Results in Improved Care, Lowered Costs, Fewer DesksWhat is the relationship between software and furniture? The odd question surfaced when a point-of-care software system implemented by Twin Tier Home Health allowed the Vestal, New York agency to dramatically reduce clinician office time. No longer requiring work space for clinicians who rarely drove to the office, the agency sold their desks! more New Jersey Agency Reports Waves of Advantages from POC SystemAsk Debbie Roe what technology has done for the Ocean County (New Jersey) Board of Health and she responds with a double-digit list. After considerable time for thought, the Public Health Nursing Supervisor may narrow it down to the top nine. She will not, however, tone down her enthusiasm for her point-of-care automation system from Thornberry Ltd., in nearby Lancaster, Pennsylvania. more Telehealth - A P4P ToolAs America's population continues to age and as we continue to see chronic health conditions predominate, the challenge to provide continuing care in the home and other non-hospital settings, and with fewer health care workers, is fast becoming a reality. Thus, the importance of establishing systems on a solid business foundation cannot be underestimated. more Lab Results Integration Case StudyTwin Tier Home Health, a division of United Health Services, previously used a manual and time-consuming process to review, input and track lab results. Then Twin Tier began to work collaboratively with its software provider, Thornberry Ltd. Known for its willingness to listen and work with its customers, Thornberry embraced the idea of automated lab results for its NDoc product. more Integrating Wound PhotosTwin Tier is reaping the benefits of wound photos being integrated into its technology platform, Thornberry's NDoc product. Benefits include an increase in productivity for both administrative assistants and clinicians. more Breakthrough Tools to Increase Aide PerformanceHome health care aides continue to be managed using ineffective, low-technology methods - landline phones, voicemail, inefficient trips to the office as well as paper and pen. The benefits of communicating updated schedules, point-of-care documentation and treatment plans are obvious - improved outcomes and increased efficiency, not to mention greater profitability. more |
