Introducing eCase®
eCase is an enterprise strength solution for providers of Residential Aged Care and Retirement Villages. The software follows a consumer centric model, focusing on the client’s health and wellbeing.
The software can be run from within cloud infrastructure (SaaS) or as an on-premise application. Third party communication tools or a VPN connection are not mandatory for smooth operation. All that is required is a web browser, allowing access from any device, anytime, anywhere.
eCase is able to be rapidly deployed, and is scalable to operate across any number of beds, without performance deterioration.
With constant innovation behind the software and greater knowledge of the reporting environment and care requirements, eCase provides superior outcomes for carers and consumers as well as providers/owners and families.
eCase has a modern and consistent browser-based user interface where the client is central to all function- ality. In most instances information is found within two mouse clicks.
The interface is intuitive and ‘web-familiar’, making for shorter learning curves and faster deployments. It has predictive text, standardised terms, recognisable icons and symbols, in order to cater for differing levels of literacy and computer knowledge.

Client Management
eCase is constantly evolving its product to support providers and to streamline functions with automated processes.
This is highlighted in the eCase admission process. When a potential client is added into the database, (whereby they can either move to a wait list or go directly to admission), staff can commence adding the client information into the system such as care, financial and general documentation. The eCase system can generate e-Quotes and/or e-Contracts at this stage, based on the provider’s requirements.
Admission
The admission page in eCase requires staff to indicate where the client has come from; the wing room and bed details. Once financial information is added,the client agreement
is completed and their status becomes active. The admission transaction will automatically generate numerous activities including B2B transaction to Medicare Australia, creation of ACFI expiry dates, and care tasks in the care work log.
This information can be fully modified and enhanced by adding automated features such as notifying staff to commence Initial Clinical Assessments (ICA) and notification of GP and other persons regarding tasks to be completed. The Care Canvas provides unlimited configurable options.

Leisure, Lifestyle & Life History
eCase is a market leader in the provision of Leisure and Lifestyle documentation – which includes a comprehensive suite of assessments, plans, charting and evaluations. The Leisure Assessment and corresponding Care Plan are specifically designed to place Leisure and Lifestyle beyond a purely biomedical paradigm, with the focus on choice and empowerment.
The Leisure and Lifestyle documentation suite also includes Life History and About Me segments which are available on separate easy to access tabs. The Life History is a ‘living document’– with both quantitative and qualitative sections – that can continue to evolve and deepen as relationships develop between staff and client.
The About Me is a simple yet powerful document which is particularly valuable during the initial settling in period as it contains vital information that will assist in providing individualised and personally meaningful relational, emotional and spiritual support.
The entire Leisure and Lifestyle component of eCase was developed with scope to support more consumer-directed service provision – ensuring that your organisation is well placed to adapt to future changes to the industry.
Designed to place Leisure and Lifestyle beyond a purely biomedical paradigm, with the focus on choice and empowerment.

Increases productivity Automatic transmission of integrated data upon admission
Increases accuracy as the system is fully integrated
Increases efficiency Decreases risk
of error
The eCase Online Claiming Module provides real time online transmission to Medicare in a seemless and efficient manner.
Further care recipient ID’s and ACFI information are available at one’s finger tips, instantly and online.
This module also provides gatekeeper functionality. This enables users to block defined types of transactions for final review prior to transmission to Medicare. This is a workflow dependent option and can prove useful for ACFI transactions.
All eCase transactions with Medicare relevance are seamlessly sent to Medicare. Detailed information regarding the transaction and its processing status are integrated into eCase functionality such as the movement list.
Optionally, customers can set up ‘gate keeper’ functionality that can be used to specifically capture ACFI appraisals (or any other Medicare transaction) for subsequent review.
The eCase Medicare engine eliminates the need for on-line access to Medicare via the government website.
Both Claim and Payment Statements are available through eCase. Claim and Payment reconciliations can be performed via eCase and it also supports the claim finalisation function.
Medicare On-Line Claiming
All eCase transactions with Medicare relevance are seamlessly sent to Medicare.
Point of Care
The Point of Care (POC) page contains all the basic functions that Care Staff or Nurses need in order to provide care for their residents on a daily basis. The POC is configurable and particularly functional when deployed with a touch screen. It is especially easy to use on tablets or smaller devices, allowing data to be entered in real-time at the point of care. This increases accuracy, saves time and most importantly ensures the resident is receiving the care outcomes they require.
Alerts and Workflow
The Alerts functionality is capable of alerting anyone about anything in the eCase database. Operationally, this helps mitigate risk as changes to data of any sort can be instantly turned into notifications (such as email) to nurses, carers, doctors, allied health professionals or family; whether these people are located internally or externally.
In addition to alerts the system can also generate relevant workflows to manage clinical risk as a result of out of range entries.
For example, a Blood Glucose Level out of range can be set up to trigger an email notification. Equally, an email can be sent to a pharmacy to reset the billing status of a resident.
Further, a ‘forced’ alert can be set up for a specific resident or client. For example, ‘prone to wandering’. These types of alerts will ‘pop-up’ every time the relevant resident is accessed and the user will be forced to acknowledge the onscreen alert.
The Point of Care (POC) page contains all the basic functions that Care Staff or Nurses need in order to provide care for their residents on a daily basis.

e-Quotes and e-Contractscapture specific financialinformation for each client.
eQuote
This provides facilities with the ability to issue a quote to the client’s family of the financial breakdown of how the client will pay for their care and whether they will be a Fully Supported, Partially Supported or Non-Supported client.
eContract
eCase implements the eContract as part of the admission screen so the end user completes the contract when admitting the client. This can ensure that the client’s contract is embedded into the eCase system and readily accessible.
Financial Tab
After admission the financial tab is automatically updated based upon information entered into the client profile. This will reflect if the client is a RAD/RAC, DAP/DAC or Combination paying client.

Decision SupportThe Decision Support System (DSS) component is used to deliver targeted and easy to consume management information for managers. The idea of the DSS is to assist managers with decision making without the burden of interacting with the system.
The DSS produces graphical and tabular data for the manager that transforms information into knowledge. The information is specifically aimed at the day to day decision making aged care managers engage in.
Basic ReportingeCase has a reporting suite which is made up of a series of lists and other tabular data sets that any user would expect to see within an enterprise solution. All eCase reports output to either PDF, CSV or Excel.
Report Generator
The Report Generator allows end users the ability to build their own reports from the system. The reports can then be scheduled to be sent to nominated users as required. The Report Generator provides unlimited reporting opportunity using single view options.

The modelling option provides the ability to estimate an ACFI score for new admissions, mandatory expiries and return from hospital leave.
This provides the site with potential uplift options for upcoming reviews
The Review function allows the ACFI planner to monitor pending actions and follow up dates for modelled or due appraisals.
The Impact analysis provides a view of the impact of planned uplift against current appraisal value.

Care Canvas
The eCase Care Canvas enables users to access assessments, charts, care plans, registers, progress notes and work-flows related to one or more clients.
The Care Canvas is structured to enable managers to have full transparency on all aspects of care delivery at any time. This includes access and review of all care documentation, work logs, progress notes and activities.
As the‘beating heart’ of the eCase clinical care system, the Care Canvas by eCase is the only enterprise application on the market capable of driving operations via philosophy and policy.
Assessments
Assessments and care plans form an integral one-to-one relationship within eCase. That is, a user cannot have an assessment without a corresponding care plan. eCase has over 50 different Assessments with the ability to generate new ones as required.

A true Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system provides a 360 degree profile.
A true Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system is more than a wait-list. It provides a holistic understanding (a 360˚ view) of the prospective consumer of your services.
In an increasingly competitive market, providers need to position themselves to stand out from their competitors. Maintaining occupancy levels that support the financial viability of a facility requires providers to optimise the intake operation, commensurate with the quality and capabilities of the specific sites.
Customer 360
An in-depth understanding of the consumer (a 360˚ profile) provides the vehicle for maximising occupancy and ensuring that the intake processes of your group are sound.
eCase Customer 360 facilitates data driven decision making and intake workflow management which enables optimal fit options with respect to the financial, social, clinical and spiritual needs of potential clients.From the first point of contact, a rules-based configurable task list provides the organisation
with sets of activities that need to be performed as part of the intake operation.
Managing the intake/sales process with high integrity task-based information is crucial for maximising input and having analysis for lost opportunities.
There is significant functionality available to the user once a client is added to eCase Customer 360. These include a clinical profile, demographic profiling, ACFI modelling, interim care planning, progress notes and associated workflows, eQuotes and eContracts.
All of these options provide the tools for the user to begin to create a detailed profile for the client.
Once a client is admitted as a resident, all of the CRM history remains under the resident profile for future analysis, reporting and review.
Extensive reporting (standard and Business Intelligence) options allows the provider to make informed decisions about the sales cycle and management of targeted sales campaigns.
