Based upon principles of disease care management and guided nursing processes, Daylight IQ™ captures and analyzes resident disease data at the bedside.  Daylight IQ™ includes an Automated Disease Care Guide Library, a Dynamic Nursing Assessment, and Compare Reports, all of which work in conjunction with each resident's disease profile.  The solution dramatically improves patient outcomes across the post-acute care continuum, reducing hospital readmission by 50% while simultaneously reducing 30 day mortality rates by over 60%. 

"The Maun-Lemke organization and specifically, Clint Maun, are well known and respected as a leading authority on increasing revenue opportunities in the post-acute care market," noted Edward J. Tromczynski, Chief Executive Officer, COMS Interactive.  "Clint's expertise in revenue enhancement is a natural extension of the Daylight IQ™ focus on improving clinical and financial outcomes, and we're excited about the growth of our relationship with the Maun-Lemke team."

"Just upstream, hospitals will be focused on improving a patient's post-acute care and reducing hospital readmissions by partnering with top-quality skilled nursing facilities," stated Clint Maun, Senior Partner, Maun-Lemke, LLC.  "In order to be successful in this emerging healthcare environment, nursing facilities must embrace technology and recognize the multiple benefits derived from the advanced disease management program offered by COMS."
