Innovation Partnerships
The innovative nature of rural health care is innate and inspiring. You wear a lot of hats and accomplish more with less in service of your special communities. We’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with some of the most innovative minds in health care and through our client partnerships we have developed a technology suite designed for the unique needs of rural hospitals and clinics.
"As a Critical Access Hospital in rural Kansas, this collaboration has been a tremendous support to us given the financial challenges of the pandemic. We are more accurately tracking time for reimbursement in the ED and have expanded to track clinician time for allocation to Wound Care and RHC. We are improving the financial health of our hospital while eliminating unnecessary effort."

A Platform That Evolves With Your Needs
Our solutions are designed to help drive financial health, workforce efficiency, compliance and caregiver safety.
Time Studies & Financial Health
For Critical Access Hospitals in particular, cost-based reimbursement is essential for financial sustainability. In order to obtain accurate reimbursement from CMS, the cost report needs to reflect appropriate cost allocations and time studies need to be performed to substantiate cost allocations. VersaBadge began as an automated time study solution for CAHs to more accurately report Part A standby time in their Emergency Departments. We now offer a wide range of time study services that also accommodate interdepartmental cost allocation, administrative time capture and Rural Health Clinic time studies.
Staff Duress Alerting
Violence against caregivers is sadly on the rise and staff safety is an increasing priority for care teams and administrators in all healthcare settings. With VersaBadge Duress Alerting, caregivers who need help can simply press a small button on their VersaBadge that sends a discreet duress alert to nearby staff, security, or other alert recipients. This positions caregivers to summon assistance to their specific location much earlier during a potentially dangerous event, so that other team members can help to deescalate a situation before it gets out of hand.
Asset Tracking and PAR Level Management
Know where key assets are at all times and make it easy for care teams to find the nearest item they need. VersaBadge Asset Tracking allows hospitals to track key assets, rental equipment and high value assets that have a tendency to go missing. Time stamp and trigger alerts if assets reach an exit corridor or restricted area. Reduce inventory and improve utilization, streamline maintenance efforts and reporting by making assets easily findable.
Interaction Reporting and Alerting
Monitor caregiver interactions with patients and leverage data to substantiate those interactions with detailed rounding and interaction reports. Know when caregivers entered and exited a patient room, set check-in frequency parameters such as 15-minute (Q15) checks and automate check-in reminders.
Infection Control and Contact Tracing
Aid infection control and contact tracing efforts with the ability to efficiently access reports that show who came into contact with infected individuals or contamination areas. Identify where individuals went after a potential exposure and who they may have been in contact with.
