Are your communications tools designed with LTC in mind?

Some of our customers occasionally use Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom, or other tools to communicate with teams and providers. But using these tools often leaves your company open to risk.

Recently a Teams weakness was discovered that can transmit all communications in plain text – a big risk for LTC users. Two articles about this issue were published online recently:

Microsoft Teams deemed unsafe to use by security researchers

We recommend that our customers who are at risk talk this issue over with their IT departments and consider a better tool for secure messaging.

LTC communications needs are more complex than a one-size-fits-all solution like Teams.

Staying on top of HIPAA is a constant consideration in health care. Do the tools that you use understand and address the exacting rules and regulations of the industry?

Mediprocity is tailored for the needs and regulations of LTC, including closed-door pharmacies, long-term care facilities, hospice care, and memory care, and designed to make instant messaging and sharing of files and PHI safe and secure.

How will you handle Covid-19 vaccine paperwork?

Covid-19 vaccines bring new paperwork challenges to LTC pharmacies. Do you have a plan for handling consent or declination forms, tracking dosages, or administration reporting?

Our pharmacy customers are finding our secure forms to be a key tool for Covid-19 vaccine paperwork management.

Many of our pharmacy customers LTC pharmacies have asked us to design their COVID-19 forms into a secure form that includes information such as:

  • Recipient information including health insurance and prescription insurance
  • First or second dose
  • EUA or VIS statement acceptance
  • Legally binding signatures with embedded dates and times

One of the most popular requests is a vaccine administration record form that includes screening questions and dosage tracking, that makes tracking fast, easy, and paperless.

For DocuTrack users, a PDF of completed forms appears right in your on-screen DocuTrack interface. A permanent, HIPAA-secure PDF is also kept in your Mediprocity account.

A LOT of new paperwork is headed your way as the Covid-19 vaccine rolls out. Get ready today – contact us today for a demo or to get started!
