Sunny Vista Living Center needed an integrated EHR vendor that they could rely on to meet regulatory changes & improve business processes & quality of care

Sunny Vista Living Center is a 116‑bed, not‑for‑profit long‑term care and rehabilitation facility in Colorado Springs. Facing dissatisfaction with its EHR vendor and uncertainty about meeting the CMS MDS 3.0 October 1, 2010 deadline, Sunny Vista needed a reliable, integrated EHR to ensure regulatory compliance and improve business and clinical workflows.

Sunny Vista implemented PointClickCare’s MDS 3.0, financial, eMAR, and Point‑of‑Care modules across all disciplines, driving electronic documentation and physician engagement. Results included a >50% reduction in paper use, 96% faster end‑of‑shift MAR/TAR audits, 90% faster medication order entry, a 75% drop in MDS assessment rejections, a 40% increase in Medicare Advantage reimbursements, month‑end close time cut by 15+ hours, and more accurate billing and audit readiness.
