This may seem like an odd question. You’re probably asking, “What do you mean, and how can I possibly ‘visualize’ our residents’ health?
In fact, you’re right…this is an ‘odd’ question, because until recently the ability to visualize huge amounts of health data and make sense of it was impossible, so it wouldn’t even have occurred to ask such a question.
But times have changed. Health technology has acquired the ability to access large data bases and to quickly, efficiently, and effectively find meaningful relationships that can then be visualized. Actually seeing or visualizing these relationships yields knowledge and actionable insights not otherwise achievable.
What does this mean for the Assisted Living Industry? It means that YES…you can visualize your residents’ health. You can see:
- ‘At-a-Glance’ all the most important health concerns in your Facility.
- ‘At-a-Glance’ all the essential health information of every resident in your Facility.
- ‘At-a-Glance’ a health risk profile of every resident that helps differentiate the more fragile from the more robust residents, and this allows you to know specifically where to target employee time and services.
Resident health information (i.e. the Facility’s health data base) is usually buried in paper charts. Abstracting bits and pieces of this information whenever a resident’s health issue or question arises is cumbersome and time consuming, and this means most of the value that can be obtained from this data base is inaccessible. But visualization gives easy access to that knowledge, and this leads to actionable insights that will direct better decisions. It will enhance resident health, and it will profit the Facility.
