"It makes documentation review faster by identifying potential diagnoses and highlighting missing clinical details needed for proper PDPM scoring."

Care gets documented in a therapy eval or a hospital record and doesn’t reach the MDS in time to affect reimbursement.

DolphinCare reads every source in the resident's record, from admission through decline monitoring,

and shows targeted findings with the source document attached so the coordinator can verify it.

THE FULL MDS ARC

From admission through reimbursement

And all the pieces in between

Your MDS, started before you open it

When a resident is admitted, DolphinCare reads all source documents and maps each finding to its MDS item. The ARD scheduler compares projected PDPM reimbursement across eligible ARD dates before the window closes.

72%

of reviewed findings accepted by nurses

Capture what documentation already supports

While the assessment is open, DolphinCare searches all documentation, applies PDPM and CMI logic, checks each finding against the RAI Manual, and suggests the MDS answer with the supporting documentation attached.

64%

of suggested answers accepted by coordinators

See which diagnoses carry NTA points

As new diagnoses appear through the stay, DolphinCare pulls them out of the documentation and shows which can support NTA points, with the documentation behind each one.

Know when an IPA is worth filing

DolphinCare continuously watches Medicare Part A residents for changes in care acuity and raises an alert only when the new HIPPS code pays more than the current one.

Fix your Medicaid CMI before the picture date, not after

DolphinCare tracks your Medicaid CMI under your state’s rules, shows what’s changed since last quarter, and flags residents whose documentation supports a higher nursing group, while there’s still time to act.

What reimbursement leaders say

“The nurses in my facility love DolphinCare — it’s definitely increased their production time”

The nurses in my facility love DolphinCare, and DolphinCare has definitely increased their production time. What I love about DolphinCare is that the documents are highlighted, making it easy to scan and see if it’s applicable. I’m excited to see what else DolphinCare comes out with!

Tonya Neilson

MDS Director at Olive Branch Health and
Rehabilitation Center

“Stands out from the other software scrubbers”

Having DolphinCare exist right in our EHR is different and stands out from the other software scrubbers. It helps the nurses complete MDS assessments quicker and pulls many different sources. The DolphinCare team is very responsive and willing to help out when needed.

“It's a huge, huge time-saver for us, and also reduces errors”

It's incredible how DolphinCare sits on top of the MDS. It scans through vast amounts of patient data, identifies relevant documentation, and automatically pulls citations to support MDS coding. It's a huge, huge time-saver for us, and also reduces errors, improving both efficiency and accuracy.

Jillian Fessler, OTR/L, RAC-CT

National Director of Clinical Reimbursement
& Rehabilitation Services, CareRite Centers

“Saves MDS resources, both time and money”

Paramount just signed up for DolphinCare for all of our facilities, after they ran reports and showed us what we missed, even with our high-level scrubbing team. This software is intriguing and very useful, saving MDS resources, both time and money, that would otherwise be spent on MDS consultants and scrubbers.
