Information-Management Software

SourceMedical has released TherapySource v3.50, a clinical and administrative information-management system designed for the specialized needs of rehabilitation clinics. The new release includes numerous new features that provide rehab clinics the ability to further improve clinical and administrative processes. The most significant enhancement is a new feature that enables users to monitor the certification status of a patient’s plan of care in real time, from creation, to physician approval, to clinician verification. This feature allows both clinicians and administrative users to track a patient’s status and view clinical activity throughout the treatment cycle. The system’s enhanced reports and system alerts allow administrators to proactively monitor patients being treated without a certified plan of care and identify future visits that will require a certification.
