Compliant-Collaboration-with-LMN-Navigator

Compliant Collaboration: LMN Navigator Steps for Success The LMN Navigator is a digital platform designed to improve the clinical documentation process by simplifying data entry and form completion. It uses information entered into the system to automatically fill and complete the WMSE form. This tool also facilitates collaboration between clinicians and ATP/suppliers, ensuring that all necessary information is accurately documented and shared efficiently. This streamlined approach helps maintain compliance while supporting a more coordinated workflow.

CRT Terminology, Abbreviations & Best Practices Clinician Resource Guide for LMN Navigator

Navigating the world of CRT requires a strong understanding of key terminology, abbreviations, and best practices to ensure accurate documentation and successful equipment justification.

Abbreviations

Documentation Check

ATP: Assistive Technology Professional LCMP: Licensed/Certified Medical Professional (PT, OT, etc.)

CRT: Complex Rehab Technology

To ensure a comprehensive and justifiable evaluation, use the following documentation check list: Did you select goals that align with the client/caregiver and clinical presentation?

MAE: Mobility Assistive Equipment MRADL: Mobility Related Activity of Daily Living

Do you have objective clinical documentation (limitations and impairments) to support the functional goals selected?

MWC: Manual Wheelchair POV: Power Operated Vehicle (a.k.a. scooter) PWC: Power Wheelchair

Have you documented current equipment limitations and how they fail to meet the client’s needs?

W/C: Wheelchair

Terminology MRADL: ADLs that require the client to move within their home to complete (toileting, bathing, dressing, grooming, feeding, etc.)

Non-Reducible: A postural deviation or musculoskeletal abnormality that cannot be corrected through manual adjustments, therapeutic interventions, or seating modifications. May sometimes be referred to as “fixed.”

Partly Reducible: A postural deviation that exhibits some flexibility, meaning it can be partially corrected with manual adjustments or therapeutic interventions, but full correction is not possible due to structural or muscular limitations.

Reducible: A postural deviation or musculoskeletal abnormality that can be corrected or improved through therapeutic interventions, manual adjustments, or appropriate seating and positioning strategies. May sometimes be referred to as “flexible.”

Does your documentation support the selection of the recommended equipment based on the client’s medical and functional needs?

Did you rule out lesser equipment for the mobility base, seating and drive controls (if applicable)?

If power tilt/recline is recommended, have you justified why these features are necessary and why one alone is not sufficient? And did you support that justification with clinical documentation Does your documentation show how the recommended equipment will improve the client’s ability to complete MRADLs in customary locations in the home?

Do you have the appropriate medical diagnoses (from the practitioners medical record) that align with diagnosis driven equipment (Complex Power Wheelchair bases and Seating & Positioning Components)?

Did you utilize extra spaces to describe the client’s presentation and impairments?
