As an MDS nurse, you’re constantly juggling compliance, accuracy, and time constraints—often with little room for error.
Many facilities have traditionally turned to scrubbers to help flag potential MDS coding mistakes. These tools are useful, but they only review completed assessments after they’ve been filled out, looking for potential issues.
But what if there was a way to go beyond just “scrubbing” for errors and actually assist you in real-time while you’re filling out the MDS?
Enter DolphinCare.
The Problem with Traditional Scrubbers
Traditional scrubbers serve a specific purpose:
They scan completed assessments to identify issues, missing codes, or documentation discrepancies.
While they’re helpful, this process comes with a delay—only helping after the fact.
Scrubbers also require a lot of manual input, leaving room for human error and adding to an already heavy workload.
And, most importantly, scrubbers don’t catch missed opportunities before the assessment is finalized. This means potentially lost reimbursement.
