What Resources Are Needed to Participate in On-Time?
The resources needed to participate are an health IT system and staff time. The resources for health IT will depend on the type of technology your facility decides to implement or already has available. You may use existing technology or invest in low-cost technology for an estimated $15,000 for an average 100-bed facility plus annual license and support fees. For staff time, a core group of clinical staff will be asked to invest their time by participating in weekly team meetings—usually for the first 2 to 3 months and then biweekly and monthly meetings thereafter—to integrate standardized data elements into CNA documentation forms, redesign workflow, and integrate clinical reports into daily work processes.
