[Recap] What We Heard at the Senior Living Innovation Forum (SLIF)

By Prime Care Tech Marketing on Fri, Jun 03, 2022 @ 08:15 AM

Last week our team connected with leaders from senior care communities at the Senior Living Innovation Forum (SLIF) Spring event. Topics of discussion were around strategies for surviving and thriving among the anticipated shifts. Here are three key takeaways.

  1. Stay True to Your Roots: Don’t chase shiny objects or the next new thing to attract residents. Trust, connection, consistency, and service are still key influencers in residents/families choosing your community.
  2. Expect New Payer Types and Alliances: Expect payer types to grow beyond private and self-pay in assisted living (AL). This may trend further into AL operators joining forces with skilled nursing facilities (SNFs).
  3. Focus on the Continuum of Care: Seniors value integrated healthcare and expect caregivers to review all medical data to deliver proactive, predictive, and prescriptive care – or complete senior health

So, how can we help with these strategies? Your chief ally in our software-as-a-service suite is primeVIEW, which offers an integrated analytics dashboard, customized with trends meaningful to your success. By using it to monitor areas of high (and low) performance, you can stay true to your roots – trust, connection, consistency, and service.

When it comes to bringing on new payers or aligning with SNFs, you may need our other apps:

  • Our primeCLAIMS app with two-way PointClickCare EHR integration, coupled with other senior care customization, empowers you to do more with less staff while expediting payment.
  • Our Managed Care MASTER case-to-contract app ensures you meet the quality care requirements of your payers while capturing every dollar promised in the contract.

We can also help with the technology and security infrastructure you need to run your business cost-effectively and wisely. Ask us about our primeCLOUD managed IT services.

[Recap] What We Heard at LTC 100

By Prime Care Tech Marketing on Thu, Jun 02, 2022 @ 11:12 AM

Last week our team connected with leaders from long-term and post-acute care at LTC 100. As always, these events help us stay on top of the challenges our customers face in their day-to-day operations. Here's what we heard at LTC 100 and how we can help.

YOUR CHALLENGE OUR SOLUTION
Data! Yes, operators need data, but it must be quality data and provide actionable insights.

Our primeVIEW app answers this need like no other analytics option with customization for skilled nursing (SNFs) and assisted living facilities (ALFs).

Interoperability! Health care provider overlap among acute, post-acute, and physicians continues to drive a need for data and EHR interoperability.

Our primeCLAIMS app now offers two-way integration with PointClickCare's EHR system, with other EHR vendors to follow.

Our primeCONNECT middleware can take it a step further to meet your interoperability needs with acute and physician care providers.

Staffing! It's just going to remain a struggle at this time, driving challenges like:
  • How do you do more with less?
  • How do you retain talent?
  • How do you attract new employees in this time of increased wages?

Our primeVIEW app helps you do more with less by offering daily monitoring of staff-to-census and overtime.

Our primeFORCE affiliates can help you retain talent with employee benefits technology, plus cost-effective insurance packages from leading providers. 

Specialization! Operators are looking to define specialty care areas as a more focused way to increase census.

Our primeVIEW app helps you trend clinical cases to define high volume, as you track aging and outstanding accounts to verify consistent payment for your services.

Technology! Working smarter can impact quality and staffing, among other challenges. 

Our primeVIEW app provides you with a snapshot of total operations, allowing leaders to zero in on underperformance, as well as high-performing areas to replicate across facilities.

Our primeCLAIMS integration with PointClickCare's EHR, coupled with other senior care customization, empowers you to do more with less staff while expediting payment.

Our Managed Care MASTER case-to-contract app ensures you meet the quality care requirements of your payers while capturing every dollar promised in the contract.

 

In addition to our software-as-a-service (SaaS) suite, we can help with the technology and security infrastructure you need to run your business cost-effectively and wisely. Ask us about our primeCLOUD managed IT services.

If you missed us at LTC 100, catch up with us for recommended strategies and how our technologies can help.
