How RCS Works It is important to understand the flow of the assessment system you purchase. The flow of the system determines how easy it is to use and how adaptable it is to change. In RCS you begin by entering resident demographic information and resident assessments. Here's what happens... What you put in...
What you get out...
Resident Information Resident Information is the starting point in RCS. Included in Resident Information are the following features:
Resident Assessment Resident Assessment includes both the required MDS Assessments as well as optional Supplemental Assessments for the Nursing, Social Services, Activities and Dietary departments. After entering assessment information into RCS, many reports, including an Initial Care Plan, can be automatically viewed on screen or printed without additional data entry. Included in Resident Assessment are the following features:
Care Plans RCS allows for flexibility in the care planning process. Since the assessment and care plan modules are linked, an Initial Care Plan can be produced upon admission, within 24 hours after admission or later, based upon your nursing center’s policies. Upon completion of all assessment items, RCS produces a facility designed resident specific Initial Care Plan. No additional data entry, no codes to memorize. After holding your care plan conference and modifying the Initial Care Plan to appropriately address the resident’s needs, a Comprehensive Care Plan is generated. Integrated in care plans, Flow Sheets can be automatically produced in order to document resident care. Included in Care Plans are the following features:
Physician’s Orders RCS Physician’s Orders are essentially a master plan that describes the nursing treatments and medical care to be provided to the resident during the upcoming 30-31 day charting period. At specified intervals, according to your nursing center’s policy, orders are entered into RCS. The system stores the information and uses it to generate physician order forms and medication and treatment records. Included in Physician’s Orders are the following features:
Master Files RCS Master Files contain commonly used lists of information such as ICD codes, NDC codes, physicians, problems, goals, approaches and others. RCS allows you to access Master Files in order to provide answers to certain questions in Resident Information, Assessments, Care Plans and Physician’s Orders. Nursing centers can define and control their operations by customizing RCS Master Files to meet their needs both today and in the future. Included in RCS Master Files are the following features.
