Protect your organization and medical directors from compliance risks and very large legal fines by setting up formal structures for medical director administrative roles.
Medical Directors are facing novel legal risks for regulatory compliance, professional liability and careless communication habits.
In order to maintain compliance, health care providers not only have to enter into transactions with physicians, that are at Fair Market Value and address community need, but they also have to ensure going forward that the physicians are meeting the terms of the contract.
Besides making the contract terms available at their fingertips, CAREASCEND nudges medical directors to complete assigned duties, meet the minimum number of administrative leadership hours, and then complete and submit timesheets within a timely manner, while assuring that they are not exceeding the contractual caps for payment. CAREASCEND integrates these invoices with your accounts payable system seamlessly.
CAREASCEND stores all timesheets and assures that they are available on-demand for future audits. The Payroll-Based Journal Report required by CMS is available at anytime in CAREASCEND.
OSHA requires employers to develop a site-specific Respiratory Protection Program (RPP) if employees are required to use respirators in performing their job. This requirement has added several complex burdens on healthcare teams.
CAREASCEND takes care of these burdens by offering a fully customizable, streamlined and automated workflow process to get employee medical evaluations completed, required before completing Fit testing
Proper and timely communication within teams enhances engagement and prevents burnout, while improving quality of care and compliance.
CAREASCEND can be easily customizable to request medical director feedback on facility performance. Such input can be critical in informing facility leaders on areas of strength and opportunities.
CAREASCEND can facilitate for a periodic and ongoing evaluation by the facility team of medical director’s performance. The platform includes a pre-populated evaluation tool that can be used for this purpose.
CAREASCEND includes quality metric dashboards that can provide key performance metrics to all team members. Availability of meaningful KPIs have shown to enhance team engagement in quality processes, while providing the impetus for team members to improve their outcomes.
Lack of timely dissemination of knowledge to improve competencies will result in poor care quality and compliance.
We have created several customizable modules for your organization’s educational and training needs.

CAREASCEND has proven invaluable with reviewing medical director time sheets. The medical director can input her tasks in real time for review by the administrator. This enables the administrator to confirm that the medical director performed the task and seek clarification about the entry. Very valuable tool.

The respiratory protection program in the CAREASCEND platform offered our organization a solution to meet all our needs. It is easy to use, the customer service is wonderful and more importantly, the end-users appreciate all of the respiratory protection program components being in one location. We were able to customize the program to suit our business needs while still meeting the regulatory requirements.

I find the CAREASCEND OSHA Medical Evaluation feature to be the most simplest and user-friendly. I am able to breeze through the questionnaires and focus on the aspects that need my attention in this process. Moreover, as part of this simple process, I believe that I have gotten to know many of the facility staff better—learning a few things about them in the process. I really could not think how this process could be made any simpler or better.

CAREASCEND is an outstanding application for post-acute and long-term care medical directors! For US PAC physicians, CAREASCEND allows to conveniently and accurately document medical director work with the partnering skilled nursing facilities, on-the-go. As the Chief Medical Officer, I am able to promptly glance at the quantity and quality of work our physicians are performing. I truly believe that CAREASCEND improves medical director related compliance and efficiencies, and ultimately the medical care for our patients.

My CAREASCEND app came in very handy during a recent state survey, Surveyor was evaluating medical director's participation at QAPI... Signed participation was missing...
Administrator shared CAREASCEND monthly reports with the surveyor and was it accepted as acknowledgment of medical director participation during the center's QAPI process. Great outcome here!

CAREASCEND is very easy to input activities which reflect my work as a Medical Director. The report is then submitted for review online by the Administrator. This streamlines the entire process of Payroll Based Journal report as required by Office of Inspector General (OIG) for more efficient reimbursement.
