Three Simple Steps to Prevent MDS Underscoring and Underpayment
  1. Provide Education -- Chart2Go gives your CNAs access to video training material anywhere and any time they need it. Accu-Med has partnered with HCPro to include the best selling "ADLs and You" video training program right on the Chart2Go handheld PDA. Your CNAs will never be more than a few seconds away from the information they need to properly score ADLs and related items.
  2. Capture Data -- Chart2Go takes charting out on the floor where it belongs. Nurses can capture MDS data with a touch of the stylus. CNAs can capture ADLs, weights, behaviors, meals, vitals and I/Os, all on devices that cost as little as $100.
  3. Manage Data -- Chart2Go information flows directly to Accu-Care, the nation's most widely used LTC clinical software suite to provide a complete charting system with valuable nursing management reports and documentation and audit trails. How suite it is!
