Addressing Challenges of Skilled Nursing Facilities

Skilled nursing facilities face considerable challenges in an ever-changing environment. These include a shifting patient population, changes in healthcare regulations, and the transition to a value-based care system – not to mention keeping staff and residents safe during a pandemic or other crisis.. Oftentimes, poor communication can be the single largest barrier to improving patient care.

Some of the most common challenges skilled nursing facilities face include:

  • Lack of/incorrect information from hospitals around admissions, discharges, and transfers
  • High staffing and operating costs
  • Clinical and support staff turnover
  • Unsecured communications
  • Reducing medication errors
  • Patient and staff safety

Skilled Nursing Facility Workflows Solved

Admission, Discharge & Transfer Management

Review, gather and reconcile important patient information throughout transitions of care.

Patient Follow-up Post-Discharge

Reach out to discharged patients via video, voice, or text message.

Fewer Medical Errors during Patient Transfers

Leverage group messaging and automated role assignments to ensure complete information – results, past conversations, consult recommendations.

Reduce Medication Errors

Simplify existing complex medication regimens through the real-time, digital exchange of medication information and pharmacy orders. Receive text messages directly from the pharmacy for refills or prescription requests. Save time, reduce errors, and improve your team’s efficiency.

Avoid rehospitalizations and improve clinical outcomes

Opening up communication between care providers, residents, and family members can provide immediate responses to issues that are easily treatable. Consistent consults and communication keep residents on the path to healing.

Improve clinical documentation

Clinical documentation is the cornerstone of reimbursement. Not having the right supportive information can cost you dearly in the future and affect your overall rating. With regulations constantly changing, capturing documentation is crucial. Keep all your communication in one place.
