Every individual present in a given country will always expect at all points in time to receive good health care and medical attention in a facility of his or her choice. In this case one would go for a facility that has the best facilities, the one that makes use of the available up to date technology and with well-equipped and competent nurses and physicians to take care of them until they are back to their normal and healthy state again (Asiri & Househ, 2017). In this essay we are going to base our discussion on a nursing home and rehabilitation in Miami Florida that makes use of Matrix Care system for the purpose of having accurate medical records, billing porpoises, meds administration and physician orders.
The Matrix Care System
Matrix Care is the only provider that is in a position to fully provide the long-term care technology and software accompanied with a true and full spectrum solution. There is a clinical EHR solution that is able to meet the different unique workflows and requirements available in the health sector that is whether you are a skilled nursing, the home care organization, the life plan community or even senior living. Since the foundation of this system, it has been of great help to the health care sector because patients and nurses are all contented by the services they are receiving from this system for example, the MatrixCare MDS tools have been able to provide help in completing assessments efficiently with having the most accurate and comprehensive available. Using this tool has been very useful in making care planning to be highly customized. This has really made the health care setting to be very useful. The care plan libraries offered by the system have helped to provide guidance and the user-defined templates which in the end have been able to provide flexibility. Matrix Care has a very unique and distinct care coordination platform that is able to support and at the same time deliver the person-centric care that in the end results to delivery of person-centric care thus better clinical outcomes. This is an important requirement in a fee-for-value world (Lewis et al., 2016).
MatrixCare Skilled Nursing Solution
This platform helps the skilled nurses and nursing facilities to successfully offer better resident care by being in a position to provide revenue and clinical cycle management solutions. The embedded clinical decision support is able to guide the clinicians at the point of care while making use of the evidence-based practices, helping them to be able to achieve better clinical outcomes while at the same time being able to reduce readmissions. The powerful reporting capabilities give room for analysis of data to take place that in the end drives the operational and strategic decisions. This in the end leads to the achievement of better organizational outcomes.
Some of the benefits that come with MatrixCare Skilled Nursing Software include improving outcome and the quality of care. The software is very important in improving communication among the care givers and coordination between the different care settings for the purpose of helping provide more effective, person centered care and also ensuring improvement of resident satisfaction and quality of care. The software also helps in the improvement of the workflow in that there is full integration of data which means that there is strong interdisciplinary care coordination within the facility itself. The MatrixCare skilled solution opens room for extensive tracking of residents’ information when they are admitted and discharged from the facility. This helps in reducing the readmission rates. This software is time saving in that it enables quick access to vital information about the residents thus making it easier to address their issues and thus better health care.
The MatrixCare’s Care Community has been able to come together with the Carequality for the purpose of being able to open up access to the personal health record in the entire care continuum. The ability to be able to automatically gain access and search the records of an individual who needs special attention in the health care facility brings closer the team that is involved in coming up with the treatment plans, the discharge expectations and the medical preferences of the individual during their transitions of care. The care team can request can be in a position to request, view and act on the best kind of information possible for that individual who seriously needs their attention. When there is adequate information then it means the patient will be taken care of in a manner that deems best and more recommendable.
While armed with the most recent and up to date documentation, the care and clinical care team can be able to make informed and most appropriate decisions in time. This means that the presence of this system makes it easier to take care of one’s health, preventing acute intervention and thus in the end reduce stress that will be impacted on the family and the individual. At the same time this will make it easier to reduce the burden placed on the healthcare system. Some of the additional benefits that come with this system is that it reduces the costs of all the applicants who prefer using it (Hultquist, 2016).

This is what makes Matrix Care system to be among the best and most preferred systems of offering care. Everyone has a right to the best care and treatment when it comes to health and being ill.
