B Care
Is an interoperable health information management solution that includes an integrated suite of point-of-care assessment and case management tools for mental health, addictions, rehabilitation and chronic disease management; promoting multidisciplinary care and outcome based reporting. B Care healthware solutions are designed to accommodate any clinical setting and can quickly be adapted to the demands of patient care and healthcare transformation. B Care is consistent with industry trends toward interoperable Electronic Health Record (iEHR) solutions, accepting and generating feeds of information shared securely and electronically with caregivers and facilities that need accurate and easy-to-manage information in a timely manner. Following are some of the key features of B Care.
Registration/Admission-Discharge-Transfer (ADT)
From the moment an individual enters a healthcare organization, B Care ADT means up-to-the-minute tracking and management of all client activities. Understanding these movements and the composition of the client population facilitates the case management process, utilization and productivity.
Built on the Enterprise Master Person Index (EMPI) for a fully integrated system, B Care ADT is easily synchronized through HL7 messaging with other healthcare systems and client registries. Up-to-the-minute key client demographic and other healthcare or health-related information is readily accessible through B Care ADT.
B Care Provides:
- Seamless integration: ADT can be seamlessly integrated with existing systems and/or client registries to facilitate a smooth registration process and provide quality data to all users.
- Real-time tracking: Easy-to-use tracking and management of all client activities, contacts, and wait lists.
- Robust reporting and analysis: Healthcare organizations can choose from a full spectrum of reports and filters to analyze data and conduct benchmarking and trend analysis in real-time.
- Data Integrity: Audit and decision support tools promote accountability and enhance the integrity of the data within the system and provide for quality data collection.
Whether you are looking for a solution to service a healthcare organization with one or multiple sites or looking to service many facilities across multiple sites, the foundation of all B Care applications is the Enterprise Master Person Index (EMPI). The EMPI acts as a central repository of key client data including demographic, financial, caregivers, substitute decision makers and employment details to name a few.
B Care's EMPI is built to facilitate integration with provincial and national registries so that client files can be authenticated and updated real-time. All client history is stored which promotes data integrity and accommodates the tracking of client activity.
Assessments and Reporting
Data can only be useful when it is recorded accurately. In a clinical environment, the data collection process has to be straightforward and simple to understand yet provide critical information during the assessment process.
B Care's E-Forms allow clinicians to focus on care while collecting valuable client data and information. Assessment and diagnosis can happen more quickly when and where it is needed. By having the right information in the clinician's hands, it means better client care and improved outcomes.
E-Forms is a complete documentation package providing customizable form design, client centric care planning and free form note documentation. E-Forms offers the ultimate in flexibility and clinical value by allowing a healthcare organization to add or customize a form to its multidisciplinary setting and populating a care plan in real-time as responses are documented.
E-Reports allows users to tap into the data collected to produce analysis and timely evidence-based reports on clients and the activities of a healthcare facility in general. E-Reports provides a set of standard reports as well as the ability to create customized reports. It can also be used for regulatory reporting requirements. E-Reports is licensed to comply with the data submission specifications of the appropriate healthcare agencies.
