High-Tech, High-Touch Rehabilitation Care at Altercare Centers for Rehabilitation & Nursing Care
Today, information technology has become an integral part daily life, with smart phones, e-readers, tablet computers and internet usage being common ways to communicate. Information developed, stored and shared electronically is replacing traditional paper-based methods because of the many benefits that IT provides.
To improve both the quality and continuity of health care for Ohioans, health information technology and electronic health records have become a growing trend in all areas of the health care industry.
Altercare Centers for Rehabilitation & Nursing Care locations have implemented an innovative electronic health record (EHR) system as part of their focus on providing high quality rehabilitation and post-acute medical care.
Altercare Centers adopted this technology because the company recognizes that successful clinical outcomes hinge on effective documentation. In addition, a point of care data capture system allows the caregiving staff to spend more time with patients and less time doing paperwork.
The system used by Altercare Centers provides automated work flow and improved information management, and allows clinicians access to comprehensive medical records which provide the information necessary to meet the changing needs of patients.
Successful information management also streamlines the documentation process to improve consistency and accuracy, enhancing the delivery of care by providing immediate access to and assistance with care plans, progress notes and other medical information.
This technology is the latest enhancement to the quality-focused expert rehabilitation care provided by Altercare Centers for Rehabilitation & Nursing Care.
