03How it works
The intelligence behind every insight.
An underline is never a black box. Here is one real finding from Lummen’s engine, followed from the words on the page to the F-tags a surveyor would cite.
01/In the note
Resident found sitting on floor beside bed at 02:15. Assisted back to bed with two staff. No apparent injury.
Fictional event note
02/Read in context
Falls / AccidentsVague fall follow-up
A brief conclusion after a fall should be supported by objective assessment findings and a defined follow-up plan.
Flagged because this note describes a fall. On its own — “Resident denies pain. No apparent injury.” — Lummen leaves it alone.
03/Surveyor view
5 gaps a surveyor would cite · 1 needs more detailA surveyor reading this as a fall note checks that the circumstances, the post-fall assessment, who was notified, what was done to prevent another fall, and the monitoring plan are all written down.

- Needs more detail: Injury assessment with findingsF689 Free of Accident Hazards/Supervision/Devices
- Missing: Pain assessmentF684 Quality of Care
- Missing: Vital signsF684 Quality of Care
- Missing: Neuro assessment and neuro checksF689 Free of Accident Hazards/Supervision/Devices

04/Regulatory context
Lummen’s fall rules map to these CMS F-tags, and each checklist item names the one a surveyor would cite.

Built on the record, not on guesswork.
Lummen’s rules are mined from CMS deficiency records — the statements surveyors write when they cite a facility — and mapped to specific F-tags. A deterministic engine reads each phrase in clinical context: negation, history, and who it’s about. “No skin tears noted” is read as negated, not as a wound note.
For events like falls, changes of condition, and medication issues, it compares the note against what a surveyor expects to see — and tells the nurse, item by item, what’s missing while it can still be written.

04Built for skilled nursing
One tool. Four people who care how the chart reads.
The nurse writing the note, the DON coaching the team, the administrator preparing for survey, and the operator setting the standard all see something different in Lummen.
Feedback right where you write.
Lummen underlines wording that may leave a gap while the note is still open, and explains what a reader would need — in plain language.

06Documentation clarity
Same shift. Same care.
Now it’s on the page.
The second note isn’t longer for the sake of it. It records what the nurse actually observed and did — so a reader months later can see the care that happened.
Facts the nurse provided
- Pain in left knee, 7/10 at 14:10
- PRN given per order at 14:15
- Reassessed at 14:45 — 3/10, reports relief
- Next reassessment planned for 18:00
Resident reports left knee pain rated 7/10 at 14:10. PRN medication administered per order at 14:15. Reassessed at 14:45: resident rates pain 3/10 and reports relief. Next pain reassessment planned for 18:00.

Lummen points to the gap. The nurse writes the note — using only what they observed and the care they actually provided.
07Trust & practicality
Built for the real world.
Documentation is clinical, legal, and personal. Here is plainly what Lummen does, how it handles information, and where its limits are.
Lummen is documentation support — not clinical decision support, and not a compliance guarantee.
- Workflow
On top of the chart, not beside it.
Lummen is a Chrome extension that runs on top of PointClickCare. Nurses document the way they already do; underlines appear while the note is still editable — not weeks later in a chart audit.
- Human oversight
The clinician decides. Always.
Every insight is a prompt to review, not an instruction. Nurses can mark an underline “Not relevant” or a checklist item “Documented elsewhere.” Lummen doesn’t write, complete, or submit notes, and it never suggests recording care that wasn’t provided.
- Data handling
Note text stays on the nurse’s computer.
Notes are scanned locally by a deterministic rule engine — no note text is sent to an AI service. For the leadership dashboard, Lummen records only which rule fired, its category and F-tags, severity, and time — never the note or the flagged phrase.
- Implementation
Light to roll out.
A pilot starts with a 30-minute walkthrough and a one-day install of the Chrome extension — no EHR integration project. After 30 days, we review your facility’s own patterns together.
- Leadership view
Patterns for coaching, not surveillance.
Leaders see how often flagged phrases are revised before a note is finalized, and the focus areas where teams may need support — with no rankings or leaderboards.
- Limitations
Honest about what it is.
Lummen recognizes documentation patterns. It can miss gaps and can flag phrases that are already appropriate. It doesn’t evaluate clinical care, and it can’t guarantee survey outcomes. It supports clinical judgment and facility policy — it never replaces them.

Questions from nursing leadership.
No. Lummen runs in Chrome, on top of PointClickCare, and adds underlines and explanations as staff write. Charting itself stays exactly the same.
No. Lummen highlights phrases that may be unclear and explains why. The clinician decides whether and how to revise the note, based on the care they actually provided.
It’s preventive. Lummen surfaces potential documentation gaps while the note is still being written, rather than reviewing it after it’s signed.
From CMS deficiency records — the statements surveyors write when they cite a facility — mined for the documentation language behind citations and mapped to specific F-tags. A deterministic engine then reads each phrase in clinical context, so “No skin tears noted” isn’t mistaken for a wound note.

From public CMS Provider Data Catalog datasets — Provider Information, Health Deficiencies, Inspection Dates, and the Citation Code Look-up. CMS publishes recent inspection cycles, not a facility’s full history. Lummen is not affiliated with CMS.
Pricing is scoped to facility count and shared on the walkthrough. Pilots are structured so you see your own facility’s patterns before any longer commitment.
