Key Features

Patient Service Status: emLucy tracks and monitors the care services provided to patients, aiming to ensure timely and accurate documentation.

PDPM: According to the vendor, emLucy integrates patient services into periodic assessments for billing purposes using an automated Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM). It calculates PDPM scores based on ICD-10 diagnosis categorization and accumulated patient service, which are then input into the MDS form.

Clinical Category: emLucy utilizes the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) to map diagnoses into clinical categories, which aids in accurate PDPM calculation for reimbursement purposes.

MDS Scheduler: The MDS Scheduler in emLucy keeps track of assessment periods, automatically collecting data on patient services and entering it into the PDPM payment model for calculation. It also triggers the required care plan record completion.

eMAR: emLucy's Electronic Medical Administration Record (eMAR) simplifies medication dispensing for patients. The eMAR scheduler oversees the dispensing of medication based on prescriptions, aiming to ensure accuracy and efficiency.

Care Transfer: emLucy facilitates the transfer and receipt of Summary of Care (SOC) medical records between healthcare entities. By inputting SOC directly into the system, emLucy aims to ensure continuous and coordinated care for patients transitioning from previous facilities.

Facility Status: emLucy's Facility Status feature offers management a complete overview of the facility's operation. It provides a full status of all patients and caregivers, highlighting pending actions for resource scheduling and flagging late actions for corrective measures.
