Axxess Continuous Care is a specialized module within the comprehensive Axxess EMR suite (Axxess Hospice and Axxess HomeCare) designed for agencies providing high-acuity, extended-shift care, such as Continuous Home Care (CHC) and General Inpatient (GIP) services.
Its primary function is to provide clinicians with an efficient, body-system-based continuous care flowsheet and shift note documentation tool. This allows caregivers to quickly and compliantly document frequent changes in a patient's condition over shifts lasting 8, 10, or 12 hours, ensuring that documentation accurately reflects the intensity of care provided. The flowsheet minimizes time spent on paperwork, allowing clinicians to focus more on patient care and assessment.
Key Features and Capabilities:
- Continuous Care Shift Notes: Easy-to-use documentation for patients receiving continuous care and general inpatient levels, including sections for education, eMAR, and medication profiles.
- Billing Compliance Automation: Automatically places a billing hold on claims if the required 8 hours of continuous care are not met, helping organizations prevent non-compliance and revenue loss.
- Body System-Based Flowsheets: Allows clinicians to quickly document updates on specific body systems or topics without addressing every section if no changes occurred.
- Mobile Documentation: Seamlessly integrated with the Axxess mobile app for point-of-care documentation on iOS and Android devices.
- Integration with EMR: Functions within the broader Axxess platform, leveraging integrated scheduling, patient charts, and revenue cycle management tools.
Target Users and Use Cases:
- Target Users: Skilled Nurses, Clinicians, Billing/QA staff, and Administrators at Home Health, Hospice, and Palliative Care agencies.
- Use Cases: Ensuring compliance with Medicare's continuous care requirements, streamlining documentation for extended shifts, and accurately billing for high-acuity hospice services.
