ARDEN / SKILLED NURSING · MDS WORKFLOWS

Bring the MDS workflow together.

Arden is designed to connect assessment review, supporting evidence, validation, and follow-up—so skilled nursing teams can see what needs attention, why it matters, and what happens next.

THE CONNECTED WORKFLOW

A closer look at
the workflow.

Choose a part of the workflow to explore.

01

Assessment operations

Assessment handoffs can leave ownership and status unclear.

Review assessment context, working status, ownership, and outstanding work within the facility.

See who owns the next step before making a handoff.

02

Supporting evidence

A finding needs a source and a reason the reviewer can examine.

Review available supporting records, source references, linked evidence, and item-level rationale alongside assessment work.

Give the next reviewer the basis for the decision.

Search and source links depend on the records imported or made available to the facility. Connecting an EHR or ingesting original documents requires separate setup and verification.

03

Validation & follow-up

Reviewers need to distinguish urgent findings, open follow-ups, and recurring issues.

Review findings by severity, identify responsible follow-up, and examine outstanding issues and validation trends.

Keep current blockers distinct from recurring patterns.

Findings reflect the configured rules and available assessment data. They support professional review; they do not replace it.

04

Submission follow-through

Package preparation, external submission, and returned results need a connected correction history.

Review package readiness, record an authorized external upload, and use supported Final Validation Report (FVR) intake to follow corrections or resubmissions.

Trace a returned finding to the package and its next correction.

An authorized person submits through the external submission system. Arden does not submit directly to iQIES. Intake requires supported report formats and a matching submission record; a prepared package is not proof of acceptance.

05

Triple-Check & revenue integrity

Assessment, submission, payer, and billing information need review before an authorized release decision.

Triple-Check brings readiness blockers and assessment/billing alignment into review, with explainable payer-rule context. Supported reimbursement scenarios let reviewers compare clearly hypothetical inputs.

Examine the basis for a blocker or scenario before deciding what to do.

Requires current assessment and billing inputs, supported payer rules, and facility configuration. Scenarios are hypothetical—not payment predictions. Arden does not make automatic billing changes or guarantee reimbursement.

06

Audit preparation & oversight

A later review needs the supporting records and decision history together.

Retrieve review history and prepare audit packets from available records within the person’s facility permissions.

Show how the work and its supporting information connect.

Packet scope depends on available records and authorized access. A packet does not certify completeness or compliance, and facility access does not imply access across an organization.

A QUESTION, CONNECTED

One question. A clear path to resolution.

Follow a fictional documentation clarification from first review to a recorded outcome. This is a simplified illustration of the workflow, not a product screen.

Illustrative workflow — not connected to an EHR.
EXAMPLE REVIEW · 01Needs clarification

Two entries need a closer look.

THE QUESTION

A draft assessment item and a dated supporting note describe different time periods. The reviewer flags the mismatch for clarification.

NEXT ACTION

Review the source and the assessment’s reference period before deciding whether a change is needed.

ASSISTANCE & RESPONSIBILITY

Assistance that stays open to review.

When configured and permitted by facility policy, AI assistance can help explain revenue-review findings, summarize their supporting evidence, or draft a follow-up task. Source facts remain distinct from assisted explanations. Rule-based calculations supply the calculation basis; authorized people make the decisions. This is not automatic coding or extraction of every MDS item from arbitrary records.

AVAILABILITY & INTEGRATION

Start with a focused product conversation.

Discuss the workflow you want to evaluate and the facility context it needs. Product access, supported data sources, and the scope of an evaluation are arranged individually.

Discuss Arden

01Arden is intended to complement an EHR and the official system of record. It does not replace them.

02Connections and imported data require customer-specific authorization, configuration, and verification. No completed PointClickCare connection, vendor partnership, or certification is claimed here.

03Available workflows depend on facility permissions, enabled capabilities, and current source information. Clinical judgment, assessment approval, submission, and billing decisions remain with authorized people.
