London American Risk Specialists Announces CareSurance™ Liability Program

Article

Houston, Texas – London American Risk Specialists, Inc is pleased to offer CareSurance鈩� , a new liability insurance program designed to meet the needs of Skilled, Assisted and Independent Long Term Care (LTC) facilities across America.

CareSurance鈩� uses a completely new approach to liability insurance. It starts with a comprehensive risk assessment of each facility and generates a quote based on the facility’s risk profile. The CareSurance鈩� program also includes powerful risk management tools from LTCQ, Inc., that provide significant clinical, operational and financial benefits to the facility.

Some of the proven risk management tools in the CareSurance鈩� Program are:

1. A Data Integrity Audit鈩� (DIA) of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) done prior to state submission that includes instant online feedback on any inconsistencies. There is also a documentation check-off feature that ensures any exceptions or special circumstances are properly documented in the medical record. Benefits of DIA include:

More accurate, and usually increased, Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements – The average client sees a substantial increase per month

Regulatory compliance – Clients have fewer fines and deficiencies

Improved quality of care outcomes – the majority of clients see improvement in their Quality Measures/Quality Indicators

2. Risk Management Event Reporter – Easy to use web-based tool for recording, tracking and trending adverse events. Tool includes prompts to ensure proper procedures were followed to help minimize the possibility of a claim.

3. Data Driven Customer Satisfaction Surveys – Targeted surveys that contact resident/families after a negative outcome to solicit their opinion on how the facility handled the incident. Acts as an early warning of claims risks related either to care quality and/or poor family communication.

4. Loss control, claims evaluation and defense capabilities that put events into context and provide analysis to vigorously defend or promptly settle claims as appropriate.

5. Ongoing guidance regarding risk management priorities and suggested remedies, including training, education or onsite consulting as required.
