SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
NMC currently utilizes Net Health Systems, Inc.’s rehabilitation documentation software (ReDoc) in the outpatient Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy Departments. NMC is currently requesting approval to purchase a 36-month subscription for the inpatient module, Net Health Therapy for Acute Care. This module is a cloud-based, fully-integrated specialized Electronic Health Record (EHR) solution with clinical workflow, scheduling and real-time patient management, outcomes benchmarking, reporting, and expert coaching. Net Health’s acute care module will replace NMC’s existing system which is not being renewed.
In addition, Natividad is adding Home Exercise Program and Focus on Therapeutic Outcomes (FOTO) modules to add to the existing outpatient module. The Home Exercise Program module improves patient engagement with easy online personalized home exercise plans. FOTO is a predictive analytics outcomes management system that captures and reports nationally benchmarked, risk-adjusted comparisons based on data collected from more than 7 million completed patient episodes. FOTO's patient-reported outcomes compare treatment effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction in real time to improve patient care and facilitate clinician growth.
