Enhancing Operational Efficiency and Patient Satisfaction in Post-Acute Care

Post-Acute Facilities Are Under PressureFrom staffing shortages to high patient expectations, skilled nursing facilities, LTACHs, and rehabilitation centers are asked to do more with less. Consider this: Over 60% of nursing homes face serious staffing shortages (AHCA/NCAL, 2023) 90%+ CNA turnover rates annually lead to care disruption and higher onboarding costs 19% of patient calls go unanswered daily, resulting in lost leads and dissatisfied families
