Kipu Treatment Episodes vs. Kipu Classic Parity Information

We're introducing Kipu Treatment Episodes to bring you the most streamlined experience to track the patient’s journey from admission to discharge, unifying all documentation.   

Kipu Treatment Episodes includes a new patient header that remains visible on every page of the patient’s chart, even when switching tabs or scrolling through long pages.  

The system generates multiple Treatment Episodes and provides an episode of care summary with a timeline from patient creation, admission, level of care or program changes, until discharge.  

What is a Treatment Episode?  

A Treatment Episode is defined as a distinct event where care is provided to a patient. Treatment Episodes are part of an episode of care and include related documentation as evidence.  

What is the Episode of Care Summary?  

The Episode of Care Summary is a timeline that tracks the patient’s journey through treatment, from creation to discharge. It helps monitor and understand the patient's progress, showing changes in location, level of care, and programs.  

Kipu Treatment Episodes brings several exciting enhancements to our current workflows, including the following:  

• Treatment Episodes: Overview
• Treatment Episodes: New Patient Creation
• Treatment Episodes: Patient Header
• Treatment Episodes: Episode of Care Statuses and Summary
• Treatment Episodes: Admission Workflow
• Treatment Episodes: Changing Clinical Level of Care and Program
• Treatment Episodes: Discharge Workflow

We're excited to offer new functionality to streamline and enhance your processes.
