Accushield replaces the paper sign-in logs at the front of Assisted Living, Independent Living, Memory Care, CCRCS, and SNF’s and in its place utilizes a touchscreen, badge printing kiosk to sign-in families and friends and confirm receipt of required credentials from third-party healthcare providers and other vendors working in senior living communities. The Accushield system is customizable and can be used to verify that all third-party care providers and vendors have proof of a criminal background check, sufficient liability insurance, immunizations, proper training and other industry appropriate credentials before seeing residents in a community.

Raising The Bar in Operational Excellence
Accushield gives community managers the tools to know exactly who is in the community at all times and creates easy to read reports based on outside care providers. These captured analytics can also create individual resident reports, summarizing care hours and trends for each resident. As well, Our proprietary technology digitally signs-in families and friends while confirming that every third-party healthcare provider and vendor meets community-specific requirements before a temporary badge is printed and entry is granted. The Accushield system verifies that all third-party healthcare providers and vendors have a clear criminal background check, sufficient liability insurance, adequate workers’ compensation coverage, up-to-date immunization records, signed community waivers of liability, and any other credentials required by a community.
MANDATORY – Beginning July 1, 2016 – Electronic Staffing Data Submission – Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) – Skilled Nursing Facilities
Section 6106 of the Affordable Care Act requires all Skilled Nursing Facilities to electronically submit direct care staffing information (including Agencies, Vendors and Contract Staff) quarterly based on payroll in an auditable, XML format.
SOLUTION: The Accushield kiosk system can check in and out all Agency, Vendor individuals and Contract Staff that provides direct care to patients in a SNF setting. Upon sign-in our software will print the individual a specialized name badge confirming sign-in. The Accushield kiosk captures, stores and provides the following up-loadable data in an XML format.
Everyday, third-party healthcare providers and vendors work hands-on with your residents and staff. Many of these healthcare providers are unscreened, creating an enormous safety risk for residents and staff, as well as increased liability for owners. The Accushield system verifies that ALL healthcare providers and vendors have submitted a clear criminal background report, sufficient liability insurance, adequate workers’ compensation coverage, up-to-date immunization records, signed community waivers of liability and any other credentials required by your community.
The Accushield kiosk screens these third-party care providers and vendors upon check-in, digitally confirming the status of their credentials and their exact time in and out of senior living communities. This information is then available to community management and approved resident families in real-time via computer, smartphone or tablet.
