Night Monitoring for CCRC BHI — PointClickCare + CCN Health

Night Monitoring for CCRC BHI with PointClickCare and Ethizo

CCRC campuses using PointClickCare as their facility EHR often work with physicians who use Ethizo for their practice management. When implementing BHI with night monitoring, this dual-EHR reality creates data flow challenges that CCN Health solves through bi-directional integration with both systems.

The Dual-EHR Challenge in CCRC

In ccrc settings with night monitoring, it's common for:

• The facility to use PointClickCare for resident records, charting, and daily care documentation
• The physician to use Ethizo for orders, billing, and clinical decision-making
• Night Monitoring data to be needed in both systems for complete clinical documentation and billing

Without an integration bridge, night monitoring readings exist in isolation — staff must manually transcribe data between systems, leading to documentation gaps and billing delays.

How Night Monitoring Works

Continuous overnight monitoring captures vital signs, sleep quality, and room activity during nighttime hours when staff presence is reduced and residents are most vulnerable.

Data Captured

• Heart rate during sleep
• Respiratory rate patterns
• Sleep duration and quality
• Nighttime awakening frequency
• Bed presence/absence

How CCN Health Bridges PointClickCare and Ethizo

CCN Health's platform serves as the central hub for all night monitoring data in dual-EHR environments:

1. Night Monitoring data flows to CCN Health — Heart rate during sleep and other metrics are captured continuously by the monitoring system
2. PointClickCare receives resident records — Vital signs, alerts, and care documentation sync to PointClickCare resident charts automatically
3. Ethizo receives clinical summaries — The ordering physician gets BHI reports with night monitoring data in their Ethizo workflow
4. Billing documentation routes correctly — Claims data with night monitoring support goes to the billing entity via Ethizo

Benefits for CCRC Campuses

Combining night monitoring with dual-EHR integration provides unique advantages for ccrc campuses:

Continuum Coverage

One monitoring platform covers every care level — data follows the resident as acuity changes.

Transition Support

Continuous monitoring data informs care level transitions with objective health metrics.

Night Monitoring Advantages

• Eliminates need for nighttime vital sign checks that disrupt sleep
• Detects nocturnal health events (cardiac, respiratory, falls)

Billing Considerations for Dual-EHR Night Monitoring BHI

In dual-EHR environments with night monitoring, billing typically flows through the physician practice (Ethizo):

CPT Code	Reimbursement	Billing Entity	Documentation Source
99484	~$48/mo	Physician (Ethizo)	CCN Health → Ethizo
99492	~$163	Physician (Ethizo)	CCN Health → Ethizo
99493	~$130/mo	Physician (Ethizo)	CCN Health → Ethizo

Night Monitoring data provides the clinical documentation needed to support BHI billing with objective, time-stamped readings that demonstrate monitoring compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does night monitoring data reach both EHR systems?

Data flows from the monitoring device to CCN Health's platform, then syncs bi-directionally with both PointClickCare (for resident care documentation) and Ethizo (for physician clinical records and billing).

Do both systems get the same night monitoring data?

Both systems receive night monitoring data, but formatted for each system's role. PointClickCare gets detailed resident charting, while Ethizo receives clinical summaries optimized for physician workflows and billing.

What is the implementation timeline for night monitoring with dual-EHR?

Most ccrc campuses are fully operational within 4-6 weeks, including system deployment, dual-EHR integration setup, and care staff training. Both EHR connections are configured simultaneously.
