The Perfect Office
-
Improved response to Patients
Starting with the inquiry process we demonstrate that we put the patients and families first with exceptionally fast response times and follow-up. We streamline administrative processes to assure that Caregivers are empowered to spend more times with patients and minimize their time facing screens, taking notes or handling administrative tasks.
-
Regulatory and Compliance Management
Our team is highly experienced and expert in the documentation, processes and systems required to meet regulator’s exacting and growing compliance requirements. When audits and inquiries occur the PERA team manages these on your behalf so that you and your team do not lose valuable time that can be spent on care delivery. We have well defined admissions and care documentation processes and provide training and real-time compliance checks for field staff to insure that we are executing on a consistent basis to meet these standards.
