IMA Desktop Tour — Administration & Operations
For Administrators, the overwhelming requirement is the synthesis of the vast amount of data entered into the system during operations. They need concise and coherent information for effective management. The IMA Desktop provides such tools in the form of on-line lookups and specialized reports.
Some of the administrative tools in the IMA Desktop are:
- Staff and Case Management System security, personnel data, staff productivity, case load analysis, case management, regulatory reporting.
- Decision Support A statistical package that allows drill-down analysis of revenue, units of service and budgets from the agency-wide level to the individual staff person.
- Quality Assurance Utilization review, monitoring documentation, appropriateness of care, continuity of care, case finding, an ad-hoc report generator.
- Activity, Budget and Revenue Analysis Analysis by activity type (such as face-to-face, brief, group), weighted units of service, actual units of service, revenue received, number of clients served or number of open cases.
- Distributed by Source of Reimbursement Each view can be broken down by reimbursement source (such as Medicaid, Medicare/Medicaid, Managed Care, Self-Pay).
The Accounts Receivable Report allows the end user to generate a comprehensive look at the monies received and owed by the client and/or any third party payors based on a number of selection criteria specifiable by client, program, service date, etc. This report definition and screen are common to the IMA reports and each allows the user to define their own macro or micro level view of the data.
These unique tools give administrators the power to thoroughly analyze the performance of an entire agency and quickly identify any trouble spots within the agency.
