Facts

TrackandCare
Efficiency Is Critical
  • Over 2.5 million elderly (“clients”)  reside in 35,000 congregate settings cared for by 4 million paid staff
  • 60 to 70% of every budget is labor
  • $175 Billion annually
  • Currently no way to measure or monitor staff – who is doing what, when or with which client = low or no efficiency
  • Operators charge residents “package pricing” = guessing
  • Operators are under growing pressure – rent increase less than CPI, clients want to pay less, while staff want to be paid more
  • Occupancy & utilization have been declining; this trend will continue for 5/ 10 years
  • Litigation represents a growing risk to the owners and operators of congregate care settings

What We Do

Track Care
  • Measure actual time spent by staff with individual clients (passively)
  • Measure staff performing tasks
  • Schedule tasks, & measure completion
  • Two-way communications between clients & staff
Patented System No. 62/050,480
  • RFID on Staff & Clients (“passive”)
  • Position & motion fed to server
  • Server & on line hub – reports
  • Scheduling software + 2-way signals between server & Client

What This Does

Simple Efficiency = Big Savings
  • How much time is Maria w/ Mrs. Jones?
  • 10% improvement = $11.3 Billion savings
  • For an average SNF = $695,000 / year
  • For an average ALR – $270,000 / year
  • Reductions in overtime & agency = more
