DDM Ascend’s Long Term Care (LTC) IT Solutions include on-line uniform screening tools which centralize LTC screening into a single entry point
A cost-effective single source for web-based LTC screening
for decision-making through our automated proprietary tool,
URSA-LTC (
Uniform
Review,
Screening and
Assessment for
Long
Term
Care services).
URSA-LTC uses embedded heuristics so that data driven decisions can, in certain situations, eliminate the need for secondary clinician reviews. As a web-based decision-support platform, URSA-LTC enables secure around-the-clock on-line screening submission for providers and real-time oversight capabilities for authorized oversight agencies. The screening format incorporates nursing facility level of care, Home and Community Based Waiver screening, and other LTC services and programs. URSA-LTC decision support informatics focuses screening efforts on areas of need, which reduces costly discharge delays for providers. URSA-LTC is combined with DDM Ascend’s
WEBSTARS I & II PASRR programs to integrate all level of care screening into a single entry point for providers and other caregivers.
