Patient Assessment and Plan of Care Reports

Helping ease your transition to the new CMS guidelines

Spectra Laboratories has developed a Patient Assessment and Plan of Care report to assist you in the implementation of the new Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) guidelines1:

  • Initial/monthly patient assessment
  • Comprehensive patient assessment
  • Patient-centric plan of care

Spectra's Patient Assessment and Plan of Care report helps you incorporate the essential CMS requirements into your clinical practice:

  • Provision for input by interdisciplinary team members, including patient, nurse, physician, social worker and dietitian, is automatically included in the report
  • CMS interpretive guidance outcome standards and KDOQI guidelines are included to assist you in developing the desired outcome for each patient
  • Laboratory values collected for each patient within the previous three months are provided for trending purposes
  • Patient-specific conditions, symptoms, and diagnoses can be selected by simply checking the boxes that apply to each patient
  • Text fields are provided for you to add additional comments pertaining to each patient
