The solution streamlines MDS care plan scheduling and tracking within an
external hosted environment to reduce IT costs.
“We are very pleased to leverage our expertise with VistA to support the
VA in its efforts to provide quality care to the senior Veteran
population by facilitating more efficient operations,” said Mark Byers,
CEO and president of DSS. “By integrating multiple VistA data points we
are able to offer a low risk, high productivity solution to streamline
processes for CLC care teams and enable clinicians and administrators to
spend time where they are needed most, with the residents.”
