Clinical Track

   We had presentations on MDS 3.0 and how it will work with Rugs IV and ICD 10. We will start a number of eLeaning sessions with AOD in August.  Version 12 of AOD will come out in August that will be able to handle MDS 3.0 even thought we will be viewing MDS 2.

    They handed out USB drives with MR Manuals, New Elite+ care plans (Andrea will be switch to soon) and forms (I’ll put both in the test computer to play with).

     Saw their new POC (Point of Care) module, AOD’s new in house version of Caretracker. It is capable of more charting in integration to AOD. It's not quite as good as Caretracker in logging in and messaging.

     Saw presentation on Pharmacy, Hospital and Lab interfaces.

Operational Track

     Presentation on Clartity  it's replacing FRX that sunsets 12/2014 – Report Writer, Budget/ Forecasting, web based works more closely with Excel but can link with PowerPoint and word. Can add personal user Dashboards, butterfly reports and can do all that FRX and Forecaster can do and a lot more. Will be ready later this year $30k
