MYZIVA. NET EMPOWERS PROVIDERS TO RAPIDLY CLARIFY DEFICIENCY FINDINGS FOR PROSPECTIVE RESIDENTS
Lake Success, New York (PRWEB) December 24, 2003
Recognizing Nursing Homes' need to quickly clarify deficiency reports compiled by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), MyZiva. Net developed the Facility Focus, a communications tool for facility promotion. The Facility Focus gives providers a tangible voice, by allowing the approximately 17,000 nationwide Nursing Homes to offer explanations or updates regarding government data, including Survey reports and Quality Measures. MyZiva. Net believes that providers have the right to respond to and explain the implications of the government data. Using the Facility Focus feature, providers can describe plans of correction, notify residents of successful appeals of deficiency findings, and post surveys conducted more recently. They can also place their Quality Measures in the proper context for consumers. Most importantly, Nursing Homes can provide prospective residents and hospital discharge planners with insight into their facility's commitment to superior service and performance.
Numerous nursing facilities throughout the country are using the Facility Focus as a key means to address the challenges of clarifying government reports. CPL Subacute LLC, an owner/operator of 20 skilled nursing facilities in eight states has relied on the Facility Focus to significantly strengthen the presence of its facilities and communicate their commitment to residents. "The mission of our skilled nursing centers is to provide the finest quality health care, rehabilitative and support services to our residents and their families," says Cheri Kauset, Director of Marketing for CPS Subacute LLC. "MyZiva's Facility Focus allows us to demonstrate that mission to prospective residents and their families, as well as showcase the specialized services we provide. MyZiva. Net is a truly unique platform for facilitating communication between prospective residents and nursing centers."
"We feel strongly that providers require an outlet to demonstrate how they have enhanced performance, based on recent CMS surveys," says Robert Abrams, Founder & CEO of MyZiva. "The Facility Focus has proven itself to be a valuable asset for providers seeking a means to promote services and benefits to prospective residents and maximize occupancy."
