IHSS Public Authority Registry System
Initially released in April 2014, Nexus Registry is now in Version 4.x as we continue to add more major features, enhancements, and system performance optimizations so that it continues to be the most robust and feature-rich registry system available. Web based and cloud based, Nexus Registry is fully secure and HIPAA compliant.
Not only is Nexus very robust, it's very fast. Even the most complex consumer-provider matches only take a few seconds to complete. Profile searches only take a few seconds, and profile updates are instantaneous.
The Find & Refer Providers Wizard makes consumer-provider matches quick and effective. Match by consumer preferences, services required, schedule availability, geographic area, language, and other criteria to generate a list of matching providers. You can see the number of providers that match each step. If the number is too low, you can exclude the step to increase the number of providers to refer. The wizard settings can be saved for future reuse. Matches are found in a few seconds- even complex matches that have numerous requirements..
What do you do when a provider calls you because they need more work? The Consumer Match Tool will help you find work for a provider.
Nexus Registry is a full-featured system that's simple and intuitive to use.
Daily timeframes of availability allow for more accurate schedule matching. Nexus has a built-in Emergency/Back-up Provider (BUPS) schedule for providers.
For low-hour consumers or hard-to-match consumers, quickly identify providers that are already going to the consumer's area.
Provides all State-required reports, plus many additional Management reports.
Automatic To-Do lists help you keep on top of the consumer and provider profiles that require attention.
Activity History lets you know who has been doing what in each person's profile.
Comprehensive Interventions and Complaints management with extensive reporting of time spent. Interventions and Complaints can include multiple persons and can be viewed and managed from within the profiles of the included persons.
Built-in document management with document scanning and upload capabilities. Documents are directly available within each profile.
Send referrals via mail, e-mail, or both. Referrals can also be sent to additional persons as specified by the consumer.
Help find work for providers by matching them with consumers that need the provider's services, are within the provider's service area, and have preferences that the provider matches to.
Upload CMIPS II monthly data extracts directly into Nexus. Search the CMIPS II data that has been uploaded into the system. Add consumer and providers to the registry directly from the uploaded CMIPS II data. Important CMIPS II data can be viewed within a person's profile.
Add an unlimited number of case notes with an unlimited amount of text to a person's profile. A note can include other persons. The note will also appear in the profiles of the other persons.
Built-in management reports help you better manage your agency, along with the needs of your consumers and providers. The Annual Statistics report is amazing.
Many more features.
"After hearing about Nexus from other public authority offices about the ease of the referral process and having everything in one place, it was a no-brainer when Draft ACL (ACL) NO. 19-XX was sent out about data security concerns. Amador was all paper processing and this was extremely time consuming when getting a call from a recipient that needed a provider. We'd have to look on an excel spreadsheet to see who was available to refer and then calling each provider prior to referring out. More times than not their status had changed and they hadn't notified us. Nexus not only helps us comply with security concerns, we are more productive and have up-to-date status for all providers, enabling us to immediately refer out a provider the moment a consumer calls. Thanks Nexus!"
"A recommendation was made by the RFP evaluation panel to award the IHSS PA Registry Software Agreement to Excellesoft… the most responsive, responsible bidder whose proposal has been determined to be the most advantageous to the County. The review committee found the Excellesoft proposal demonstrated extensive knowledge of the services requested, as well as experience providing the same software solution to fourteen other Public Authorities in California. The proposal provided detailed information of their preexisting system, and the implementation plan was deemed clear and realistic. Staff qualifications were considered extensive and robust. Excellesoft provided a comprehensive response to the scope of work and the Features and Functionality Checklist. Overall, the proposal submitted by Excellesoft was unanimously recommended by the review committee…"
"Perhaps the most exciting capability in Nexus is the online provider check-in via email or text message.
This is going to save our staff hundreds of phone calls a month – that is fantastic!"
"I can already see that Nexus will improve efficiencies on many levels, especially for matching consumer with providers and all of the reports available to us to assist in tracking our daily progress. This program will assist us in our goal of being the best Public Authority we can be for our consumers and our providers."
"Nexus is organized and user friendly. We are very happy with Nexus"
"Nexus is the product we use as our IHSS registry database. It is user friendly and data rich. As the PA Director I appreciate the ability to pull good reports and be able to identify trends, staffing activity, as well as have the capability to manipulate the data sets in Excel reports when necessary for specific projects.
Staff has expressed great satisfaction for the ease of use, speed which the program pulls up lists of providers to send to consumers. We are very satisfied and highly recommend Nexus to anyone looking for a robust, user friendly registry database with great reporting capability."
"Nexus has helped us to optimize our matching ability and targeted referrals of our registry providers."
"Nexus is a great web-based application that helps us match our consumers and providers quickly and easily. The matching is exact, so there's little guessing if the provider list will meet the needs of the consumer. We can email referral lists to the consumer, their relatives or even the social worker so that saves us printing and postage costs.
The reporting features within REVA and NEXUS provide me with all the details regarding key performance metrics and help me easily get the data I need for my stakeholder reports. Prior to the implementation of these two systems, my staff was keeping statistical data by hand!"
"The Alameda County Public Authority started using Nexus in July 2016. Prior to Nexus we used two other Registry database products. Nexus is user friendly and easy to navigate. Managerial reports are easy to read and downloadable in excel spreads sheets and allow managers to get a true picture of the activities of Consumers, Providers and Registry staff.
Alameda County did a data merge from our prior software developer. Everything went smoothly, we stayed on track and had no delays in our launch."
If these are common themes in your office, then perhaps it's time to take a look at Nexus Registry.
Nexus will definitely help you improve your agency's efficiency and effectiveness.

Is your agency struggling to keep up with the daily tasks and isn't effectively serving your consumers and providers? The Nexus To-Dos will show you which consumer tasks and provider tasks need attention. The Nexus management reports will help you effectively manage your agency and the needs of your consumers and providers.
