Admit with Ease: Faster Referrals, Smarter Decisions
A referral packet lands in your inbox. It is a hundred pages deep, dense with progress notes, medication lists, old discharge summaries and the occasional hand scrawled order that seems positioned—by cosmic prank—on the very last page. You know the drill: the admissions coordinator scans until their eyes blur, highlights a few question marks, then kicks the whole file over to nursing leadership for a real decision. An hour slips by, sometimes more, before anyone can say yes or no. Meanwhile the resident, the family and your census all wait.
The time cost is obvious, but the hidden risks are worse. In one Medicare stay a high dollar injection—buried near the end of the medication list—went unnoticed. The building ate thousands of dollars in pharmacy charges during that stay. Another packet mentioned a CPAP only once, deep in a homecare note. When the resident arrived with the device, no order existed, forcing nightshift staff into a scramble that shook the family’s confidence. These are not rare stories; they are the predictable side effects of information overload and time-strapped staff.
“Lumberjack easily saves us 45–60 minutes on every referral. That’s an entire resident bath, a wound dressing change, or several call light responses reclaimed.” —Early Access Admissions Coordinator, Twin Cities, MN
From Hours to Minutes: The Lumberjack Difference
What if that entire review could finish before your coffee cools? Lumberjack does exactly that. The platform ingests the full packet in seconds and, through DOV—our conversational AI assistant—delivers a concise, clinical portrait tailored to your building’s exact requirements. Tell DOV once that your rehab unit cannot accept continuous IV antibiotics or that you need payer approval for specialty injectables. From then on, every summary calls out those details in plain language. Decisions move from one hour to under fifteen minutes—without sacrificing diligence.
The impact shifts quickly from convenience to census. A coordinator can clear the morning backlog before lunch, keeping beds full. An evening or weekend supervisor—armed with a fifteen-minute review—can greenlight an off-hour admission without abandoning the floor. Nursing leaders stop playing detective after the resident shows up; they already know the high-risk meds, equipment, and isolation needs because DOV brings those critical details right to the forefront.
Crucially, none of this asks you to replace the EMR or rewrite your workflow. Lumberjack slides into the process you already run. Speak to DOV inside a secure web application or right from your phone: “Show me anything over $200 per dose,” or “Flag equipment we don’t stock.” The answers appear immediately, ready for the final human decision.
Speed, accuracy, and confidence—delivered in minutes, not hours. That is intake at the speed of care.
