The Harbor Court Deploys Disease Care Management Program Daylight IQ™ to Enhance Resident Quality of Care
June 8, 2011 : The Harbor Court
Rocky River, OH -- The Harbor Court Independent and Assisted Living Community has implemented the COMS Interactive, LLC Daylight IQ™ disease management program as a core service offering to its residents. Daylight IQ™ is delivered through an integrated software system of standardized processes and disease care management, which has a proven record of improving overall quality of care and dramatically reducing hospital admission rates.
Nursing care serves as the backbone of an Assisted Living facility. The Harbor Court offers nursing services to both its Independent and Assisted Living residents. With the Daylight IQ™ disease management system, The Harbor Court residents receive the additional benefit of clinical point-of-care technology that guides the nursing team based upon a customized health profile for each resident, to immediately identify any minor health changes. Through early detection of small negative changes in condition, the nursing team is able to respond quickly, preventing further progression of the illness or affliction. Residents are healthier and families are pleased with the results.
"Our residents enjoy the feeling of security and being well cared for in the hands-on environment of The Harbor Court community," noted Donna Zapis Thomas, Director and Owner, The Harbor Court. "Deploying the Daylight IQ™ disease management system represents simply another component in our philosophy of helping our residents maintain their good health and their independence, and we’re pleased to be able to provide them with this additional bit of healthcare security."
"As a leader in the Assisted Living marketplace in Cleveland, The Harbor Court enjoys an outstanding reputation for the excellent care they provide," commented Edward J. Tromczynski, Chief Executive Officer, COMS Interactive. "It is entirely appropriate that they are once again taking the lead in the community by offering additional security to their residents, and we look forward to partnering with them in this endeavor."

COMS Clients' Kudos
- "I like the systematic approach it gives the nurses to follow- up with patient's primary diseases. And then, a systematic approach for management to see if we/ staff are doing a good job, and, if not, a way to fix it and/ or improve patient care results“
- Greg Nijak, Administrator, Patriot Ridge Community - “My experience with the COMS system has been enlightening from an administrative perspective. I have seen a positive trend in reduction of returns to the acute hospital and also improvement in our processes for assessment and intervention. We have been able to take the data and analyze for trends relative to specific diseases, co-morbidities, referral sources and physician tendencies. Our analysis has developed some salient issues that we have used in changing our admission review process as well as certain interactions regarding our various attending physicians and provides supportive data to our Medical Director in his duties of physician relations. My experience has been positive and hopeful that technology will allow us to continue this process in as close to a real time environment as possible.”
