What are the possibilities and opportunities for the future of long-term care?

Now is the time to build back and improve our industry and the care we provide.

Staffing shortages and high turnover rates are constant challenges across the sector. Unfortunately, COVID-19 has only made things worse. Nursing facilities have lost nearly a quarter million employees during the current pandemic.

Given the direct correlation between staffing levels and adverse outcomes -- including increased mortality, hospitalizations and ED visits -- how can facilities improve the safety and quality of care when workers can’t be had?

Back by popular demand, we’ll discuss ways nursing homes can maximize staff efficiency by putting first things first. Among the issues our provider panel will address:

• Streamlining workflows and optimizing processes
• Systematic and consistent use of operating protocols
• Training and development to boost capabilities and versatility
• Support that can ease staff burdens like feedback, variety, and growth, because when employees are satisfied, work is completed faster and with better results

You will walk away with proven methods to enhance operational efficiencies while improving outcomes.
