RADAR Report Overview

RADAR is a Web‐based, resident‐level clinical and predictive risk management tool. RADAR includes:

• Resident Profile Scores• Quality Measures (QM) Alerts• Resident historical data presented from MDS history

RADAR Report Overview (cont.)RADAR Benefits:

• Provides a high level overview of all current    residents– Identifies residents with clinical and risk concerns– Drill down for more details

- Risk management- Care planning

• MDS 3.0 scales replace other required assessments

Excellent tool for Administrators and Managers

Profile Scores

Profile Scores are based on two categories of MDS scales: Descriptivescales and Predictive scales.

16

Profile Scores (cont.)Descriptive scales identify the condition or outcome, and the severity of the condition. These scales focus on resident characteristics for ADLs, Cognitive Performance, Delirium, Mood, and Pain.

17

Profile Scores (cont.)Predictive scales identify specific risk factors that contribute to a resident developing a particular condition or outcome. These scales ‘predict’ the likelihood of an event within a specific period of time for Falls, Frailty, Hospitalization, and Pressure Ulcers.

18

Profile Scores (cont.): Risk Profile Probability Tables • To see additional information about RADAR’s Predictive Scales, please see the RADAR Risk Profile Probability Tables.– This information can be viewed and printed from the RADAR section of the Training page on the PointRight website. 

19

Profile Scores (cont.)Roll over a Risk Profile name to view information about that scale, including scale range and the high risk/high impairment cut point.Click on a resident’s score to view resident history and details.

Historical Trending & Scale Graphs 

The Hospitalization Risk scale indicates a resident’s likelihood of being rehospitalized.

This example indicates that now may be a good time to address changes in the resident’s condition in the care plan to prevent rehospitalization.

21

Historical Trending & Scale Graphs (cont.)Roll the mouse icon over any data point to see assessment information.

22

Historical Trending & Risk Scale Graphs (cont.)

Indicates multiple hospitalizations

Risk Scale MDS HistoryThe MDS Assessment History displays below the trend graph.

• Roll over any MDS item header to see the coding details.• Click on the ARD to see the MDS assessment.

Use the scroll bar to view all MDS items

24

QM AlertsThe QM column displays the CMS Quality Measures that will potentially trigger on the resident’s most recent MDS. • Click the QM Alert link to view the triggers.

25

QM Alerts (cont.)The QM triggers for the most recent MDS will appear in a new browser window.• NOTE: if the resident is in the Long Stay sample you will need to scroll down

to view the triggers.

Tips for Success

• Sort by most recent ARD to bring current issues to IDT meetings– Helps your team focus on most current clinical issues

• Use changes in QM Alerts and Profile Scores to guide care planning and risk management decisions– Drill down to identify specific risk factors

• Use Profile Scores to screen residents for rehab/restorative, pain management or palliative care programs
