Senior Care & Nursing Facilities
The AssurUs suite provides a comprehensive set of tools to support the unique needs for maintaining the highest standards of care for elderly patients. These tools can provide your organization the standards and reliability in patient safety that is expected in the healthcare industry.
The AssurUs Quality Self-Assessment Tool lets your team continuously assess compliance against globally-recognized standards of care for seniors, and allows you to import your own standards into the tool.

The AssurUs Corrective Action Tool lets you formulate a plan to target areas for improvement whether it is to reduce risk of falls or to address instances of Healthcare-Acquired Infections (HAI) which are commonly found in nursing homes. Our tools let you track your progress with the standards and target specific areas in reducing these risks--with a color-coded “at a glance” compliance dashboard.

The AssurUs Checklist Tool allows your organization to use evidence-based checklists for senior care such as those for medication safety and urinary catheter infection control to minimize patient safety concerns. Many long term residential care settings use patient safety executive walkarounds as part of their overall goal in building a culture of patient safety.

The AssurUs Patient Safety Executive Walkaround Tool supports your executive team in this endeavor. Used together, the suite of AssurUs tools allows you to demonstrate to seniors in your care and their loved ones, your commitment to providing quality care.
Tool Highlights

Pre-loaded Standards-The standards are pre-loaded into the system and nothing needs to be installed on your computer so you can get started right away.
Low Cost-AssurUs provides low cost, web-based tools to perform a self-assessment and corrective action plan.
Customizable Reports-A report of your compliance is automatically generated following your self-assessment.
