We want to be your partner of choice in the new shared savings environment. At Juniper Village at Lebanon, we began collecting critical data upon our acquisition by Juniper Communities in January 2013. For example, we closely monitor residents to assure successful returns from either the hospital or rehabilitation setting.
The ability to manage pressure ulcers is key to minimizing hospitalizations. Low rates of facility acquired pressure ulcers are the result of a high level of wellness/clinical oversight and an indicator of quality care and service.
Another common cause of both initial hospitalizations and re-hospitalizations is medication errors. Changes to medication regime whether after a scheduled physician appointment or emergency hospitalization can leave patients confused about what medications are most current. Our wellness team is responsible for medication reconciliation and management, a process which virtually eliminates medication errors.
Communication is key and Juniper Village at Lebanon takes communication to the next level through:
- Use of Electronic Health Records (Point Click Care)
- Optimized care transitions protocols
- Full implementation of INTERACT (Interventions to Reduce Acute Care Transfers)
- Use of a highly recognizable and consistent transfer information packet
- Focus on resident and care giver education and engagement
- Individualized care and service
Contact us today to see how we can assist you in managing your patient transitions.
