RUG Weighted
Patient Day
RUG Weighted Patient Days (RWPD) is the method the Ontario Ministry
of Health will determine a nursing homes’ funding level. The Canadian Every Thursday at
Institute for Health Information sends to the home a RWPD report so that 10 am – 11 am
homes may correct data in a given fiscal year. It is vital that nursing
homes understand several key functions with the RWPD method for:
Unassesed patient Days, Assumed Discharges, LOA, Hospital Visits and
Late Assessment Days.

Knowing how RWPD leads to your facilities Case Mix Measure (CMI) will
help you to ensure that you have an optimal level of funding in the
coming years

“I enjoy working in MED e-care as the screens are bright and colorful. The
fonts are great in size which makes it easy to focus. From the first day I was
trained I realized immediately that I would like this program… It is a
forgiving program and errors can be modified with ease. Once the basic
training is completed one has no problem following the screens to
complete each task. The support staff is always there to assist and is
extremely friendly.”

“As a new RAI coordinator in Phase 8 of the “Project”, I would like to CREDENTIALING

express my gratitude to the incredible team at “Med e-care”. The
educational opportunities offered to myself and other members of
our team here at Trent Valley Lodge have been outstanding. I feel
your staffs have been at the top of their game in all aspects of this
transition into the RAI – MDS 2.0. Each and every time I have phoned
looking for ‘tech’ support or advice or I’ve been in a (small) panic,
your staff have gone the extra mile to reassure, educate and assist in
every way possible in the implementation of the RAI – MDS.
I would like to particularly mention Vickie, who through patience,
understanding and knowledge has guided me and taught me each
step and continues to encourage me along the way. Also the ‘tech’
support who I know through a quick phone call will fix my problem,
again with patience and understanding.
To all at Med E-care, thank you for being the voice at the other end of
the phone. Couldn’t do it without you!
Best Wishes to all, hope you have a great day. ”
“My colleagues and myself were very fortunate
to be a part of the CCRS Credentialing RAI-C
program offered by MEDe-care, with Dr. Paul
Beaulne. Our Homes do not use MEDe-care,
however the information we were able to
glean from the course has certainly aided our
understanding of MDS and our requirements
for funding. We would recommend this course
to anyone whether they are with MEDe-care or
with another software company”

iMAR
“As I reflect on our decision to implement the Mede- Care iMAR system a year ago, I
Bonnie Uhryn cannot but feel, privileged to have partnered with your company. Your personal
RAI Coordinator commitment and your staff’s dedication to further e-documentation in health care, is most
Trent Valley Lodge refreshing in these days of close competitions in health care technology.
Your iMAR module is very user friendly and it enabled our most skeptical, computer
illiterate and casual nurses to master its navigation system in a very short period of time,
with minimal training and support.”
