Quick Tip!
How to document on a patient after they have been discharged:
If the patient has already been moved to Discharged Patient List, select the patient from the Discharged Patient Files and open Discharge Summary. Change "yes" to "no" for the first question about moving patient to d/c list. Then go to New/Current list and open the Patient record to edit the information. When finished with edits, open Discharge Summary and move the patient to d/c list.

Medicare Progress Report Requirements
Many clinicians are not aware of a Medicare requirement that has been in place for over one year. Originally, Progress Report requirements applied to out-patient practice, but now that requirement has been expanded to inpatient facilities.
As of January 1, 2006, Medicare requires that a Progress Report be created every tenth visit or once during a certification period, whichever is less. Progress Reports may be written as often as daily, however, attention should be given to clearly demonstrate progress in your documentation.
Requirements of the Progress Report:
- Assessment of improvement, extent of progress (or lack thereof) toward each goal;
- Plans for continuing treatment, reference to additional evaluation results, and/or treatment plan revisions should be documented in the clinician's Progress Report; and
- Changes to long or short term goals, discharge or an updated Plan of Care this is sent to the physician/NPP for certification of the next interval of treatment.

May's Featured Product: ReDoc Scheduler
The ReDoc Appointment Scheduling System
ReDoc Appointment Scheduler is a user-friendly software tool that simplifies appointment scheduling for rehab clinics. It improves efficiency by saving your administrative staff time and also decreases no-shows and cancellations. The entire clinic will benefit from these advantages because Scheduler integrates directly with your ReDoc Suite.
How does it work?
ReDoc Appointment Scheduler acts as a replacement to your appointment book or any outdated/under-supported scheduling software that may currently be in use. Entering appointments is fast and easy to do and patients can be scheduled for multiple time slots at once. It can display multiple days and therapists on one screen and appointments can be tracked by location. It's also easy to move appointments from one time slot to another with simple drag and drop functionality.
You'll be fully integrated with your ReDoc Suite so there's only one entry of patient demographic information which allows you to track...
Number of approved visits
Whether the scheduled patient has been seen
Whether they have been billed for services.
This increases efficiency for the front desk, therapy, and billing personnel and virtually eliminates the potential for human error.
