The software game. Whether you’re in the healthcare industry or the corporate space, your software story likely follows these lines. You opened your company and bought the basic software needed to have your operations up and running. ⤵ ⤷ Company grew. Industry evolved. ⤵ ⤷ You invested in a new program with raving reviews to manage one aspect of your company. ⤵ ⤷ But it didn’t manage a different aspect… … so you invested in another software for management… … and a 3rd for payroll… … and a 4th for data collection… … and a 5th for communication… Until your staff needed to meander between 7 different apps, programs, and software to get their work done properly. ❌ You know there’s got to be an easier way. ✔️ In a world fueled by rapidly advancing technology, AI, and data, data, data, there’s got to be software out there that can streamline your different operations with ONE software. Costly? Perhaps. But super-efficient cutting-edge software is often THE turning point to phenomenal success. Business and facility owners share your experience – do you have one (or two) streamlined software systems or are you juggling various different ones? #Streamline #Software

You work hard to ensure that the different groups within your facility are happy. But do you really know what they think? What if you can hear their thoughts – and know what you’re doing right and what you can do better? ** Customized questionnaires.** They are a powerful tool to “hear” the voices of the different factions of your facility. Here are some ideas of questions you can include. 👉STAFF & AGENCY STAFF: What would you love to see changed/improved at our facility? On a scale of 1-5 (1 being strong yes, 5 being strong no), how do you feel your work is appreciated? Would you be interested in regular shifts with our facility? Would you like to recommend a colleague as a potential professional at our facility? 👉VISITORS: To hear their voice: What would you love to see changed/improved at our facility? Is there anything that our facility does extra well? Would you be willing to answer a quick survey after your visit? Would you like to join our monthly get-together for family members of our residents? For security: Have you recently traveled outside the US? Do you have a new cough or cold symptoms? Do you have any alcohol or tobacco products with you? Are you a family member of a resident? Are you part of a visiting group or organization? Customized questionnaires are one way to get feedback from the different groups within your facility – for improvement, strengthened security, and other areas you wish to focus on. What questions would you love to include in a customized questionnaire? #Feedback #CustomizedQuestionnaires

Here’s to no more empty beds in your nursing home 🥂. The healthcare industry is evolving and the alternatives to nursing homes are growing. But you work hard to invest in your facility – and you want to build and maintain a strong census. 4 tips for keeping the beds in your facility full – and improving your revenue: 1️⃣ CREATE THE ULTIMATE VISITOR EXPERIENCE. First impressions go a long way. Ensuring a pleasant and professional feel at your facility will have visitors leave with good vibes. Happy visitors mean a high chance that they’ll refer your facility to others and send more of their loved ones your way. ➞ TAKEAWAY: Invest in creating a pleasant atmosphere and it will likely pay itself back. 2️⃣ MAKE YOUR FACILITY RESIDENT-FOCUSED. Yes, there are many facets to an active nursing home. But, don’t lose sight of the main focus: your facility is here to care for your residents. Ensuring top-tier resident care will keep your residents content and will drive future residents to your facility. ➞ TAKEAWAY: Keep your eyes on your residents and you’ll surely see a flow of more residents. 3️⃣ TRAIN YOUR STAFF TO BE KIND & COMPASSIONATE. Your staff can be your greatest census-building machines. Train them to be kind and compassionate to residents and visitors alike – it’s sure to go a long way. People appreciate compassion and feel calm sending their loved ones into such an atmosphere. ➞ TAKEAWAY: Compassionate staff creates an atmosphere where family members want to send their loved ones. 4️⃣BOOST YOUR GOOGLE REVIEWS. One of the first places family members look when considering a nursing home for their loved one is their Google reviews. When you work on the above three areas, you have a strong base for stellar Google reviews. But, the majority of your visitors won’t leave a review without being asked to. It’s time to create or invest in an automated request for visitors to leave a Google review. ➞ TAKEAWAY: Ask your visitors to leave a Google review – and watch as your census increases. Which tip can you see yourself implementing in your facility? #IncreasingCensus #NursingHomes

PBJ can get complex. This is what Andrew Herbst PBJ guru has to say about Advanced Entry aiding in PBJ reporting. “Using a digitized platform to track staffing is the shortcut to a hassle-free experience. Advanced Entry makes PBJ a breeze, by streamlining the process, reducing hours of labor and ensuring accuracy.” #pbj

PBJ compliance can be a big challenge for healthcare facilities—tracking hours, managing complex staffing, and ensuring audit readiness all take time and precision. This newsletter covers three ways the right tech can simplify PBJ compliance and keep facilities running smoothly #PBJ #realtimevisitorintelligence #realtimedata

We had a fantastic time at the Health Care Association of New Jersey (HCANJ) Annual Convention & Expo, where we introduced our Real-Time Visitor Intelligence solution, designed to support staff and enhance resident experiences through live insights. The event offered us fresh perspectives from insightful speakers and great conversations with industry colleagues. #networking #realtimevisitorintelligence #visitormanagement #show

Your front desk receptionist can make an impact far past the front desk. At a show in Ohio, a healthcare facility hesitated about our software arguing that they have a receptionist they pay for because everyone loves her. “We simply can’t replace her with technology.” “Can she help know in real-time who's in the building?” “No.” “Can she help boost Google reviews?” “No.” “How about let our system do all that (and a whole lot more!) and let her cater to all those residents who love her – and do all that BETTER. “ 💡Facility owner loved it – and bought Advanced Entry. Proper software implementation is NOT to replace human staff, rather it can help them do a whole lot more – that much better. (See previous post. 👆) After implementing our software, facilities share the receptionist difference: 💬 “MORE TIME TO CARE FOR RESIDENTS” “We no longer have to have an employee at the front door to check staff and visitors in. It gives us more time to care for our residents.” Amanda Muncey, front desk personnel @ Genesis Healthcare - Willow Ridge 💬 “IT HAS FREED ME UP TO DO OTHER THINGS” “Manual entry of everyone's information PLUS everyone's temperature that enters the building was SO inefficient and a real time-waster. It has freed me up to do the numerous other things I do.” Sandra Wallace, front desk personnel @ Orono Commons 💬”OUR STAFF HAS MORE TIME TO COMPLETE EXTRA TASKS” “Advanced Entry has helped my facility so much! Prior to this, our reception desk staff had to let the phone ring while screening visitors/staff or stop what they were doing to screen people. With Advanced Entry, our staff has more free time to complete extra tasks, and even enjoys jumping up to help those that need it.” Jenna Brault, front desk personnel @ Genesis-Langdon Place of Dover TL;DR: Software is not here to REPLACE humans – but to OPTIMIZE them to do what they do better. Spill the beans 🫘. Which software has helped you optimize your manual labor? #AdvancedEntry #Software #Staff #FrontDeskReceptionist

Manual labor or software – which performs better? On the one hand, humans can NEVER be replaced. That’s a non-debatable fact. ✨The trick is to figure out which parts of their jobs CAN be replaced with software – to optimize the human aspect of what they do. Let’s go through some popular positions: 🧑💻Front-desk receptionists Signing in visitors with pen and paper ⇒ Visitor sign-in kiosk Dialing each staff member to relay messages ⇒ Sitewide communication tool Tracking work hours via pen, paper, and calculator ⇒ Punch-in tracking tool 🧑💻Marketers Using a calculator and paper records to analyze stats  ⇒ Generating reports and tracking metrics via software Emailing visitors for reviews  ⇒ Automated feedback request linked to Google reviews Giving out paper questionnaires ⇒ Customized questionnaires in sign-in kiosk 🧑💻CEOs Having staff track their time and give in their hours before payroll ⇒ Easy staff punch-in  Trying to be everywhere at once to oversee operations ⇒ Video cameras  Working through different bank accounts and accountants to measure revenue ⇒ Software tracking the different numbers 🧑💻Nurses Writing down patients’ vitals and complaints ⇒ Upload patients’ information to their portal Check which medications patients are allowed ⇒ Systems are set to ensure patients are receiving proper dosages and medications Straddling between different papers and systems ⇒ One streamlined software where all patient records are stored Yes, we’re lightyears away from relying solely on human talent. But perhaps you can streamline your systems even more by implementing the proper software and optimizing your human talent. More on this next post. #HumanResources #Software #Staff
