Comments from ePlan Users
Read what one Corporate Administrator had to say about ePlan Automation:
“...Currently our 23 communities, Assisted Living and stand-alone Dementia Care
facilities, are using the ePlan Service Planning system. The Nurses have found time
management savings in all aspects of service planning including the initial assessment
phase, updates and change of conditions documentation.
And the following email from a new ePlan User:
“...We just went through survey [and] the survey teams at both buildings raved
about the way the assessments and care plans work. It was a bit weird since the
survey teams rarely commend something we do (they are not allowed to give
positive feedback).
