Mr. Maya had a stage 4 (full thickness tissue loss) pressure injury on his sacrum (base of spine) affecting his ability to sit and lie in bed comfortably. He received treatment with OmniSWD® for wound healing as part of therapy, and in only six weeks the injury was completely healed!
I’m happiest to now be able to sit in my wheelchair and visit with family on the front porch. I am also more comfortable in bed.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our newest product, ACPlus® Respiratory Assessment, or ARA. ARA is an innovative software enabling skilled nursing operators to proactively identify patients with pulmonary dysfunction and provide them with the care they need. ARA’s objective data helps clinicians build an effective treatment plan while providing robust documentation needed to justify respiratory care and support reimbursement.
ARA Features & Results
ARA makes respiratory assessment easier than ever. Here are just a few of the key features that make it a powerful tool to enhance your respiratory care:
Data-Driven Care: ARA identifies patients with pulmonary dysfunction and automatically suggests possible lung disease patterns and severity levels to deliver the precise data needed to build an individualized treatment plan.
Early Patient Identification: ARA helps capture potential respiratory concerns during the initial assessment, which is more critical than ever with higher acuity patient populations and today’s PDPM requirements.
Robust Documentation: ARA’s objective data provides documentation required to justify respiratory care, helping you get reimbursed for the true complexity of your patient population.
Don’t just take our word for it – we implemented ARA in skilled nursing facilities and found that ARA helped operators:1
Establish baseline respiratory deficits upon admission
Eliminate external spirometry Pulmonary Function Test wait time
Justify respiratory services
Enhance treatment planning
Explore our study to learn how inpatient, outpatient, and contract rehab providers within skilled nursing have used ARA and see their results.
How ARA Works
ARA is designed to be simple and easy to use, seamlessly integrating respiratory assessment into clinical workflows.
Using an iPad and Bluetooth spirometer, a clinician can select a patient in the app, enter their demographics, and conduct breathing tests that capture baseline metrics.
ARA interprets the data to suggest possible lung disease patterns and severity levels the clinical team can use to tailor the best treatment plan for that patient.
If a re-assessment is needed, the clinician can access the patient’s record and easily conduct a follow-up.
Unlock Efficiencies with EHR Integration
You can get even more out of ARA through EHR integration with PointClickCare. By enabling EHR integration, ACPlus can instantly sync ARA results, reports, and notes with your EHR at the point of service, proactively identifying patients who may benefit from respiratory therapy upon admission.
Transform Your Respiratory Care with ARA
We believe that ARA has the potential to help SNFs tap into the power of respiratory care, provide more targeted interventions, and ultimately achieve better patient outcomes. Are you ready to bring the power of ARA to your facility? Contact your CPC or request a free demo to get started.
A 75-year-old woman was admitted to a skilled nursing facility with weakness and inability to perform self-care following hospitalization for spinal abscess and resulting C7-L2 laminectomy (spinal surgery). Prior to hospitalization, she lived in a one-story home, used a rollator walker, and performed self-care tasks independently.
Therapy Protocol
Occupational Therapy
5x/week x 9 weeks
OmniVR® Virtual Rehabilitation System
OmniVR® virtual reality exercise performed using Bingo, Carnival, and Picnic activities to increase strength and endurance.
OmniStand® Dynamic Balance System
Static and dynamic balance training with OmniStand® for improved control during self-care activities.
Additional Interventions
Training for strength, balance, and transfers; self-care management.
The therapist reports that this woman performed OmniVR® activities with a high level of engagement and enjoyment:
During the picnic activity, she kept requesting to repeat the exercise in order to achieve zero errors. She met all her goals, allowing her to return home!

Prior to hospitalization, she lived in a one-story home, used a rollator walker, and performed self-care tasks independently. Discover how her care team used OmniVR and OmniStand to help her regain her strength and return home.
A patient was admitted to a skilled nursing facility for rehabilitation services due to increased knee pain, decreased strength, and a significant decline in functional mobility. Before his decline, he lived at home with his wife and could travel household distances using a rolling walker.

Therapy Protocol
Physical Therapy
5x/week x 15 weeks
OmniVersa® Ultrasound/Electrotherapy System
Interferential current (IFC) motor sensory electrical stimulation with OmniVersa to both knees to decrease pain.
OmniCycle® Elite Motorized Therapeutic Exercise System
OmniCycle neuro mode with patterned electrical neuromuscular stimulation (PENS) cycle protocol to the quadriceps to increase leg strength, coordination, and endurance.
Additional Interventions
Gait training, transfer training, bed mobility, balance exercises, postural control, and energy conservation.
This patient and his wife are so happy with the results of his therapy, which allowed him to return home. The use of electrical stimulation for relieving knee pain facilitated weight bearing on his legs and helped him walk again. His wife is incredibly thankful he has returned home instead of remaining as a long-term care resident.
