Caring for patients while also completing forms and entering numbers can seem overwhelming. Which is why the use of Monitoring Tools may appear burdensome, requiring monthly data entry and precise paperwork completion. You may even question the need for these tools, wondering how much more time you could dedicate to patient care without them.
But regardless of our personal opinions and feelings, it is important to recognize that Monitoring Tools have a multitude of benefits. Some of these are highlighted below:
- Enhancing quality of care:
By ensuring accurate data completion and minimizing errors, Monitoring Tools have a significant impact on providing high-quality care for all patients - Improving access to benefits:
For individuals with developmental disabilities, Monitoring Tools serve as crucial instruments that facilitate access to care benefits - Establishing uniformity and transparency:
Monitoring Tools provide a basis for standardized services and criteria that ensure uniformity and transparency in care services - Recognizing the importance of Support Coordinators:
Monitoring Tools highlight the pivotal role of Support Coordinators in our economy to ensure equality for all individuals - Ensuring adherence to best practices standards:
Monitoring Tools ensure that the best practices standards and criteria set by the Centers for Medicare, Medicaid Services (CMS), and Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) are uniformly implemented across the country
If we look at some standards and criteria set by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Home and Community Based Services (HCBS), the following are crucial:
- Encouraging active participation in community life
- Upholding the rights of individuals and ensuring their safety
- Building and strengthening meaningful relationships
- Providing choices for living arrangements, employment, and services
- Supporting personal goals and opportunities for growth
By just a quick glance at these criteria, it’s clear that individuals in all levels of healthcare and governance have a common goal of ensuring a life of equality for everyone. If Monitoring Tools can aid in achieving this goal, then there’s no reason why we shouldn’t utilize them- isn’t it?!
