We are excited to announce the addition of electronic clinical charting in our Heritage Hall – Blacksburg facility. This leading technology will provide nurses with bedside resident information that will be accurate and in real-time. Having all this information at the nurse’s fingertip will increase quality of care, provide more robust information, and keep resident records extremely safe. Since Heritage Hall – Blacksburg has completed their pilot program and has found this program to produce outstanding results other Heritage Hall buildings are in the process of implementing electronic charting.
