CareData Trak announces the launch of MySeniorCare, a self-administered, web-based screening tool for detecting common geriatric syndromes in individuals aged 55 and older that may go undetected by patients or healthcare professionals. With insurance companies lowering fees for physician services, doctors must see more patients in order to keep their practices thriving. Less time with patients can mean missing diagnoses that otherwise would have been detected. By accurately identifying risk factors in advance, medical errors are reduced, liability is mitigating and patient care is improved.

Because MySeniorCare directly engages the patient, it improves healthcare provider’s ability to identify patients at risk for complications before they occur, as well as encouraging the right conversation with the older patients and their families on how to prevent those outcomes. The screening results are presented in a customizable report designed to answer the question that healthcare providers ask everyday: “Is the aging patient at risk?”

MySeniorCare was developed in cooperation with the Center for Excellence in Aging and Geriatric Health (CEAGH), The Merck Institute on Aging and Health, and the Eastern Virginia Medical School’s Geriatric Practice. It meets the growing demand to effectively screen seniors for debilitating health risk factors such as falls, incontinence, depression and dementia. Validated in independent clinical studies conducted by these organizations, MySeniorCare has been shown to deliver a 60% improvement in diagnosing incontinence and a five-fold improvement in detecting seniors at risk for falls.
