The rental kits consist of all the approved tools and test methods to selftest the bed systems in your facility. The kit may be kept at a facility for a period of ten calendar days, per rental period. The price includes roundtrip insured shipping through FedEx. (Return shipping is initiated through a simple phone call to FedEx). By properly using the testing tools on your bed systems, you should be able to determine which bed systems are safe and unsafe. Included with the tool kit (and retained by the renting facility after the rental period) are resources to develop mitigation strategies for systems determined to be unsafe, clinical guidance focusing on risk intervention, individualized resident environmental changes, and more.

My InnerView provides two primary management tools to help organizations better achieve their goals: Satisfaction Surveys and Quality Profile Tracking.

This feedback is essential to fully represent the operational story of a facility. The survey tools provide evidence you need to initiate quality improvement, track referral sources, improve staff recruitment and retention, and measure outcomes of previous initiatives. Quality Profile Tracking The one-screen Quality Profile will track the monthly progress facilities make toward their own goals, revealing strengths and diagnosing stresses within a system. Tracking includes resident quality of life, resident quality of care, family satisfaction, state survey results, employee commitment, Minnesota Pay for Performance measures, and financial health. My InnerView allows you to benchmark to the same size facility, same type of ownership, and geographic location. You might also choose to compare your performance to other facilities in the state or to My InnerView s entire database of thousands of facilities throughout the nation. Your reports are available instantly once the data is entered or you can look back to a previous month. For more information, contact: My InnerView Inc. Phone: or Fax: info@myinnerview.com 15
