The Continuing Care Reporting system with integrated RAPS (Resident Assessment Protocol) and RUGSIII grouper allows hospitals to capture the Minimum Data Set for patients needing continuing or long-term care.
The CCRS or Continuing Care Reporting System module and RUGSIIITM grouper allows the user to capture the MDS (Minimum Data Set) for patients needing continuing or long-term care. Following the same functionality of all other system abstracting modules, the system allows fast assessment entry, which can be performed by the Nursing unit or Health Information Management personnel. This module has been designed to also be used with wireless technology so clinicians may assess patients at their bedside. The RUGSIII grouper was designed to calculate the Resource Utilization groups for the Complex Continuing Care reporting system. This integrated grouper breaks the cases into 7 categories which are hierarchical such as special rehabilitation, extensive services and clinically complex cases. The grouper provides the tool to determine care needs of the patient population. The RAPS identifies triggers where care plans may be required for continuity of care of the patient.
