While driving to a barbecue the other night, I realized that I forgot to contact a patient prior to leaving the office. I wanted to let her know that a driver would be bringing her medications to her house that evening. Dang, now I'm going to be late for dinner because I have to drive all the way back to the office to get the phone number to call her. NOT NOW! With CPR+ Smartphone I can instantly access this information through my web-enabled smartphone.

Simply go to your company’s CPR+ Smartphone URL:

Log into CPR+ Smartphone with your user name and password and then click on the Patients icon and find your patient.

Then you can click on the phone number listed and call your patient to advise her that her medications are on the way. WOO HOO! Saved the day and now I am not going to get in trouble with my boss. Oops! I spoke too soon. I forgot that I need to log a Progress Note (because we all know how important documentation is.) If I click on the patient name in the above list, I will see the Patients Menu. Here, I can click on the Progress Notes icon and see the previous Progress Notes that have been entered. Next I can tap on the ‘Add Progress Note’ button and log the call I just made to the patient.

Wow, that is cool. What else can be done with CPR+ Smartphone? I am so glad you asked. Wait a minute... before we move on, I just received a call from my driver and she said that she can't remember how to get to the patient's house. If she has a smartphone, she can open the Patients Menu > Demographics and tap the map icon and she will be presented with a map to the patient's home address with Google© maps.

There are so many things that you can do with your CPR+ Smartphone. Some of these include:

  • Demographics
  • Medical Info
  • Medication Profile
  • Prescriptions
  • Delivery Tickets
  • Directions to Home
  • Progress Notes

CPR+ Smartphone is an Internet application that works with the CPR+ Web Portal server and gives your on-call staff and delivery technicians the ability to access patient information while out in the field. All the information you see and edit is LIVE. No lengthy syncing required!

CPR+ and ZirMed can transform the way you get things done.

Definitive Homecare Solutions and ZirMed are both steadfastly committed to delivering provider-focused technology solutions. The synergies created by this unique partnership are revolutionizing the revenue cycle for CPR+ customers.

“Our transition to ZirMed has been an extremely smooth experience. The Implementation Department has made sure they contact me every couple of weeks to ensure there are no problems and to answer any questions we may have. The claim reports are much more detailed than any I have seen in the past. I am able to see the exact date and time that my claims were received by insurance companies. Claim rejections appear immediately for us and can then be corrected and resubmitted right on the web site. If I have any issues, problems or questions, ZirMed has been very responsive. We are also receiving our remits through ZirMed which makes things so much easier and less expensive than using two different companies.”

Karen Richert,
Reimbursement Manager, Altius Healthcare

We have negotiated a fantastic room rate of just $129 per night at the beautiful Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort, located just minutes from Downtown Disney. This rate is inclusive of the resort fee which includes free access to a state-of-the-art health club, 9-hole Par 3 pitch 'n' putt golf course, driving range, tennis courts, water sports (canoe, sailboat, paddle boats) and more.

This FREE conference consists of a keynote presentation (with drinks and hor d’oeuvres) on Friday night, followed by five simultaneous training tracks on Saturday and Sunday. Whether you're an HME, Infusion or Specialty provider, you will learn how to get the most out of your CPR+ software. With classes on all of the latest enhancements, round table discussions, networking opportunities, vendor presentations and much more, you'll get a lot out of this conference.

In addition, we'll be offering fundamental classes for new users or veterans wanting a refresher on Friday for just $149 per person. These classes are designed to get conference attendees prepared for the faster paced courses during the weekend.
