“Using BlueStep has reduced the costs for medical records and filing. Purging costs have disappeared. Expenses for binders, dividers, and paper are non-existent with this new system. Plus, we've seen a substantial decrease in the amount of time it takes to audit charts.
“Our benefits regarding MDS are extensive. We no longer have to look for physical charts, various paper reports, or purged records if there is a cross over date. We've experienced a 50% reduction in time associated with these and other items. Improved charting by licensed staff and CNAs greatly improves MDS completion.
“Now we have the ability to develop reports based on the charting without the need to separately track items such as infections, falls, incidents, psychotropic medications, among other things. BlueStep HQ has built in prompts to remind the nurse to chart behaviors, Medicare notes, etc.
“Overall, we have experienced incredible revenue enhancement because of BlueStep Technologies. Our ROI so far is over $1,000,000 in direct, ancillary and other cost savings. Plus we have a significant reduction in staff turnover, improved survey outcomes (5 Star System) and a Higher Quality of Care (5 Quality First Awards).”
