New technology to improve patient care
Call9, which provides emergency medicine, has announced the launch of SNF Assist, a patient care data platform that leverages technology to provide nursing home administrators and operators with analytics to inform operational and medical decisions.
The technology seeks to address one of the most significant problems nursing homes face; namely, that 19 per cent of all emergency transports to the hospital come from nursing homes. SNF Assist helps facilities to identify their highest risk of transfer and contributing factors that increase their transfer rate to the hospital, so that they can implement changes to reduce them. This, in turn, improves the patient experience and saves the healthcare system millions of dollars.
“When we founded Call9 the idea was to be with patients at the moment of their emergency,” said Timothy C. Peck, Co-Founder and CEO of Call9. “What we’ve learned over the last three years is that we can often identify emergencies before they even happen. SNF Assist will help facilities where Call9 doesn’t have a physical presence do the same thing.”
