Yardi Enhances EHR

Update on Upgrades

By Joel Nelson on Dec 1, 2020 in News

Yardi has been building Yardi EHR, a full service electronic health record solution for senior living, for the better part of a decade. Client feedback and ongoing development give rise to regular product enhancements. Here’s a sampling of recent upgrades.

Clinical move-in

Users can now execute a clinical move-in process that includes adding global contacts, allergies, diagnosis, orders from a library, and schedule assessments.  This new feature allows a facility to perform a financial move-in prior to the resident physically arriving in the building or vice versa.  Clinical staff can move a resident in and the billing staff can complete the financial move-in when they return.

A new KPI shows a resident’s pending move-in status, allowing the facility to easily monitor resident move-in activities.

Medication tracking

Recent enhancements allow counting of controlled substances between shifts, check-in of medications delivered to the community and documentation of medications disposed of. Facilities can also update the quantity of medication on hand when new deliveries arrive.

Digital care plan signatures

New functionality enables digital signing of service plans. Five new KPIs monitor the signing status.

Continuity of care document interface (CCDA)

Facilities can now create, send and receive CCDA documentation using the KNO2 interface. The CCDA document sends and receives data elements in a standard format. Information exchanged includes advanced directives, allergies, adverse reactions, medications and social history. The CCDA user interface lets you search for documents by a date range or create a new document.

Shower/housekeeping/laundry schedule

A new report assists staff with weekly shower, laundry and housekeeping schedules. Filters allow for multiple schedules to be displayed and is viewable in a list or calendar view. The list view can also display task details.

Simple wounds

The wound module has been streamlined and enhanced for assisted living facilities, allowing charting of basic wound details and progress checks. Progress checks can be scheduled if desired.

Alert charting

This new functionality, also known as 72 hour charting, allows staff to identify residents with a change in condition reason and ensure that ongoing charting follows the facility’s policy. (Not new to 7.13, but a good one to point out.)
