Survey and compliance, handled.

Residents/rooms cited: R1
On December 4, 2024, the DON observed R1 take her medications as ordered. The interdisciplinary team assessed R1 for safe self-administration the same day.
All residents who self-administer medications were reviewed for a current IDT assessment, a physician's order, and a matching care plan.
Licensed nurses were re-educated on the self-administration policy. An IDT assessment is now required before any self-administration order is written.
The DON or designee will observe five medication passes weekly for four weeks, then monthly for two months.
Results are reported to the QAPI committee monthly until compliance holds at 100% for three consecutive months.

The problem.
Skilled nursing runs on a regulation nobody can search, over data nobody may leak. One deficiency on a 2567 starts a ten-day clock for the Plan of Correction. General AI answers with confidence and without a source, and an answer you can't verify is a liability.
What I built.
Answers with the regulation attached.
Ask about an F-tag, a survey process, or a star rating. The answer arrives with its sources cited, and says so when the regulation doesn't support one.

From 2567 to Plan of Correction.
Upload the Statement of Deficiencies, or describe a problem you found yourself. Tactis reads the cited tags and drafts every section the federal format requires.

Proof that the fix happened.
Sign-in sheets are read automatically and matched to the required staff list, so you know who still needs the in-service before a surveyor asks.

Built for resident data.
Every facility's data is encrypted under its own key. Every access lands on a tamper-evident record. Two-factor sign-in is required, and nothing a facility enters is ever used to train a model.
The whole binder, drafted.
Every cited tag gets its paper trail: QAA meeting minutes, a baseline audit of other residents, an in-service packet with its sign-in sheet, a monitoring tool, and a QAPI committee packet. Ready to print and sign.
