As owners and administrators of assisted living communities, protecting and safeguarding the wellbeing of residents and staff is your primary responsibility. In an industry subject to increased regulation as well as the threat of litigation, monitoring the constant stream of outside vendors and other service providers makes this mission particularly challenging.
Many operators of senior living communities as well as the industry as a whole are concerned about the liabilities and potential risks associated with permitting vendors including outside caregivers and service providers to have access to resident areas without validating their suitability to work directly with residents and staff.
The failure to use a strong risk management system to confirm that vendors have clear criminal history reports, sufficient personal liability insurance, up to date immunization records, proper industry-specific training, and other risk abatement measures is a risk that assisted living home operators cannot afford to make.
The Accushield risk management system was developed by a team of assisted living home owners and operators with decades of industry experience. The Accushield visitor management system gives you confirmation that each outside caregiver and service provider visiting your community meets certain necessary requirements and standards. These requirements can be determined by you.
Accushield assists you by providing you with criminal history reports, personal liability insurance information, immunization records, training histories, professional credentials, and other risk abatement information. Not only does Accushield provide you with this information, but also tracks and records each visit by a third-party healthcare provider.
