The numbers are working against nursing home administrators and managers. On any given day, there is a shortage of approximately one hundred thousand nurses in the long-term care setting. More residents are entering nursing homes at older ages, requiring more attention. In addition, many of the new lawsuits affecting the industry are based on whether the facility had the proper staff at the proper time.
Even though nursing homes owners and managers strive to do things correctly and hire the right personnel, it is no longer enough. SamarionFacility offers a diverse menu of staff management tools to ensure residents are receiving the proper level of service at all times.
Location identification technology is the driving force behind SamarionFacility, allowing administrators and managers to know the time and duration caregivers spend in residents’ rooms. Through SamarionFacility, important assets such as defibrillators can be tracked. Outside contractors like physical and occupational therapists are also monitored.
SamarionFacility functions as the eyes and ears of administrators and managers, even after they have gone home for the day. With the data SamarionFacility provides, management can make sure staff and contractors are working together for the best interest of the resident.
