MatrixCare, by ResMed, includes a suite of applications supporting in-patient assisted living operations, with CareAssist as the central application as its eMAR & point of care system. Also MatrixCare applications support KPI tracking, workforce management and payroll, and other processes inherent in providing in-patient care.
MatrixCare is well suited for the size of this company and its budget. The support is awesome, very professional, polite and knows what they're doing. It is also well suited for my company based on the type of healthcare, LTC, and rehab. Although I don't use the MDS features, I hear my colleagues say how much they like using them. The providers like that they are able to create their progress notes right into Matrix and I like that too because there are no paper notes needing to scan. The providers also find the dashboard very helpful for knowing what orders need to be signed and which patients are due for visits. I am unaware of any scenarios where MatrixCare is not well suited for my company, as far as my role.
the MDS section doesn't always register that a section has been signed and completed, showing up on the dashboard as still needing to be done.
The MDS section will state you're still "in" someone's MDS when you're complete. There have been multiple times where I've had to fully log out of Matrix to be "logged out" of someone's MDS even though I had signed.
I have not had any problems with MatrixCare; however, I do not use the whole system and have not had to call MatrixCare or have support from them so I'm not the best to comment on that.
MatrixCare is more updated, when we used our old program is was stuck in the past and was built when we were a much smaller company. MatrixCare is a one-stop-shop so that is why we picked it. There was another company we looked at but we didn't go with it because of the layout of the program.
