A drafted PM&R consult, with the evidence attached

Aurifex drafts the PM&R consult as a pended order with a cited reason, so you review and sign instead of writing.   The rehab team gets the evidence it asks for earlier in the stay.   The clinical decision stays with you.

Your day, before and with Aurifex

For attendings, before

  • Consult requests arrive late, after the case manager has made the case
  • The reason for consult is written from memory between other tasks
  • Discharge timing slips while the plan comes together

With Aurifex

  • A pended PM&R consult with a cited reason, ready to review
  • Function, therapy tolerance and stability summarized with sources
  • The model's expected date beside yours, to plan earlier

For PM&R, before

  • Thin consult requests that send you hunting through notes
  • Candidates found close to discharge, with little time to plan

With Aurifex

  • Each CMS IRF criterion with the evidence found, or clearly marked as yours to assess
  • Candidates flagged as notes accumulate, while there's time to act

What you see

  • A pended order.   An IP consult to Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, waiting for your signature.
  • The candidacy review.   Neurological scores, function in Section GG terms, therapy minutes and stability, each line cited.
  • Sources on every statement.   Sources are one click away, and clinician review measures how often an unsupported one gets through.

What it adds to your work

A pended consult is one more order to review and sign, so it only appears for patients the flag raises, and it arrives with the reason already written.   It sends no interruptive alerts.   In testing the flag raised about 5 to 6 flags per 100 admissions.   Consult volume per attending per week is reported during a pilot, and a cap on pended consults can be set.

In testing

What stays yours

  • Whether to consult PM&R, and what the consult says.
  • The determination of rehab candidacy, with PM&R.
  • Every order.   Aurifex pends; it never signs.

In testing, 3 PM&R physicians and 3 case managers rated 400 drafted consults in blinded review.   In a pilot, physicians also review sampled drafts, marking agreement, findings and severity.   How clinician review works.
