Axxess Hospice IDG (Interdisciplinary Group) Center is a core feature within the Axxess Hospice electronic health record (EHR) platform, specifically designed to automate and simplify the complex IDG process for hospice agencies. The solution is built to ensure compliance with CMS Conditions of Participation (CoP) while reducing the time clinicians and clinical leaders spend on planning and documentation.
Key Features and Capabilities:
- IDG Meeting Automation: Automatically schedules and manages IDG meetings, allowing all team members to see schedules at a glance and document simultaneously.
- Auto-generated Agenda & Summary: The system auto-generates the IDG agenda based on regulatory requirements and patient activity, such as Admission, Recertification, Discharge, Death, and Change in Level of Care. IDG Summaries are automatically populated with clinical assessment information, progress toward goals, medication changes, and orders, flowing directly from visit notes.
- Interactive Compliance Tracking (Prep Report): The IDG Prep Report audits required clinical documents (e.g., Recertification Assessment, Face-to-Face Visit, Certification of Terminal Illness) prior to the meeting, using green check marks to identify documents that are present and complete.
- Real-time Documentation: Enables all IDG members to document discussions during the meeting, with the system ensuring all core team members (RN, Social Worker, Counselor, Physician) have signed in before the meeting can be officially ended.
- Bulk Signatures: Allows IDG members to sign the IDG log once, with that signature flowing to all necessary documents, eliminating the need for multiple signatures.
- Secure Communication: Includes a HIPAA-compliant messaging center for real-time team collaboration between office and field staff.
Target Users and Platform:
Axxess Hospice is a cloud-based, scalable EHR solution for hospice organizations of all sizes (small, medium, and enterprise). It is accessible via the web and native mobile applications on iOS and Android, facilitating documentation and care coordination at the point of care.
