How does SeniorCRE run pre-admission clinical review so the community accepts the right residents?
Communities accept residents whose clinical needs exceed their capability and pay the price for months — falls, ER trips, family escalations. The clinical review at admission is often a checkbox by someone who never met the prospect.
Detail
Pre-admission clinical assessments capture diagnoses, current medications, ADL needs, behavior history, equipment requirements, and the hospital DRG / discharge summary when available. The DON reviews against community capability with a structured decision — accept, accept with conditions, decline. Decisions and clinical context flow into the care plan on day one.
Inappropriate admissions decline. Move-in to first-incident interval extends. The DON spends less time managing residents who never should have been admitted.
