Dart Chart Systems to Provide Proactive Analytics including Re-hospitalization Risk Management Tools for Medicare Payment for NTT DATA Net Solutions Point-of-Care

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dart Chart Systems, a leading LTC Healthcare Technologies provider specializing in Medicare reimbursement and IT, will provide a significant enhancement to NTT DATA NetSolutions™ Point-of-Care (POC) software, an integrated clinical and billing system for post-acute/long-term care facilities. Dart Chart Systems is currently providing analytics nationwide, and will be rolling out additional features to support skilled nursing facilities needing to prevent re-hospitalization. Dart Assured^SM Proactive Analytics software by Dart Chart will include this feature as well as COT Manager, and ARD Safe™ as part of its “Provider Liable Zero” tools.

Joel VanEaton, BSN, RN, RAC-CT, CPRA, from Care Centers Management Consulting, Inc. commented, “Dart Chart is an inherently intuitive system, producing out of the box user confidence, compliance, as well as rapid financial results. As a user of both NTT DATA Net Solutions and Dart Chart, I see the integration of these two solutions as a win-win for the LTPAC community.”

Payment by Medicare for long-term and post-acute care (LTPAC) providers is based on a complex assessment process. Dart Chart’s real-time Dart Assured™ Analytics Engine, fed by NTT DATA’s POC clearly shows providers the information needed to manage the patient’s course of treatment and optimize provider payment and payment protection.

“Collecting Point-of-Care data is vitally important with a system like NetSolutions, but that is only part of the solution. The analytics that Dart Chart provides is the critical element that will ensure correct and appropriate reimbursement. Dart Chart looks over the daily information and makes recommendations for the best practice. I have been recommending Dart Chart to my clients for over 6 years. Everyone who uses Dart Chart is extremely pleased with the product and the financial improvement created by collecting accurate data with a Point-of-Care and applying business analytics,” said Marilyn Burlenski, RN, BSN and President and CEO of the Connecticut Alliance for Long Term Care and Burlenski Consulting Associates, LLC.

“With all the issues impacting payment and patient care for LTPAC facilities, integrated software partnerships are good news for providers,” said Linda Kunz PhD., President of Dart Chart Systems. “It is through interface partnerships like this one with NetSolutions Point-of-Care, and Dart Chart’s Dart Assured™ Analytics Engine, that LTPAC’s can have truly best-of-breed solutions, and that just means better care for residents. That’s really the big news. Together, with partners like NTT DATA, we are looking for ways to help the industry create the best outcomes for patients with documentation and analysis.”
