"[T]he organization is... entering a new era of electronic resident records... We anticipate that the adoption of newer technology, in combination with continued training, will improve our ability to communicate and share information, save staff time in certain areas, and enhance our record-keeping efficiency and accuracy - all leading to improved resident care... [A] UMH team has been at work for more than a year evaluating UMH's current practices and needs and working to match them with a technology company.  The team developed detailed capability and performance requirements based on existing systems and needs requirements and considered nearly 40 vendors... ...LINTECH... has been selected as the application software vendor of choice.  They best met the demonstrated requirements, which included resident care and financial applications, software support and other specifics.  UMH representatives visited three sites currently using LINTECH's COMET application, an integrated, real-time clinical and financial solution, and were impressed with its functionality and possibilities...

LINTECH's clinical and financial software offers a host of benefits for residents and staff alike.  One of the primary clinical benefits is the ability to reduce probability of clinical errors, with a special focus on e-prescribing and medication safety.  The software also offers increased protections for resident privacy, and enables improved communication among residents, families and caregivers through enhanced reporting of resident events and outcomes.  For the staff, the software includes role-based security, which reveals only as much as necessary for a specific staff member's completion of job responsibilities.  The new software allows for more comprehensive data collection, which results in better benchmarking of data with outcomes implications.  ...[T]he programming will make possible document attachment of, for example, radiographic images or PDF files.  Cost savings should also be realized in the transition from paper to electronic processes."

Kristine Cerchiara - Vice President, Information Systems, Jewish Home & Hospital Life Care System, New York, NY:

"We have been using LINTECH's COMET software since 1991 and we recently re-affirmed our commitment to their product. We routinely review the software available in the marketplace and believe that LINTECH offers the best value for long term care.

Through use of the COMET software, we were able to reduce the number of steps necessary in many of our processes. We improved communication by using the built-in notices in the software. We also enhanced revenue, reduced errors and saved time through the automatic creation of ancillary charges from Order Management.

The LINTECH staff are knowledgeable of the product, providing responsive and professional support. They truly understand our business needs.

We are impressed with both the solution and the staff and look forward to continuing our partnership with LINTECH."

Ann Marie Barry - Director of Program Development, St. John's Home, Rochester, NY:

"We have worked with LINTECH for 4 years. LINTECH's software modules are very user-friendly.

Prior to LINTECH, we had five separate departments logging Resident information into five different computer systems. Interdepartmental access, report generation and updates were difficult. Now, we benefit from one source data entry and facility-wide access.

It is reassuring that the same LINTECH support staff we started with is still the same support staff that knows our system and trained our people.

We now customize and update our modules easily and generate a range of custom reports on demand, efficiently and accurately. Thank you, LINTECH."
