SNF Network Leverages Data to Drive Change and Real Results

> Blog > SNF Network Leverages Data to Drive Change and Real Results

By Karen O'Driscoll

No matter what a SNF’s goals are, data has the potential to help them meet and exceed those goals. However, the operative word here is ‘potential.’ Many SNFs are fully aware they need to collect and leverage targeted data to drive decision making. But when it comes to executing on that, there may be issues they’re unaware of.

We can see the real-world implications of all of this from a recent case study conducted on Cambridge Health Alliance, a SNF and hospital network based out of Boston, Massachusetts.

Some of the Issues Cambridge Health Alliance Faced

Like many SNF networks, Cambridge Health Alliance knew there were opportunities to leverage data to make impactful changes and drive meaningful gains. However, the company faced many of the same issues other SNFs deal with when broaching this topic.

  • Having to rely on anecdotal experiences to make clinical decisions
  • Not being able to accurately measure nursing home KPIs
  • Lack of benchmark data to compare and contrast performance among nursing homes
  • Insufficient metrics to enable management of at-risk populations

How Cambridge Health Alliance Met the Challenge

Thankfully, the remedy for these challenges proved to be fairly straightforward for Cambridge Health Alliance. The spoiler of the story is that through strong leadership and a great partnership, Cambridge was able to realize the full potential that data brings to the table. Some of the benefits the team experienced include:

  • Cambridge Health Alliance QuoteIncreased synergy and information sharing between facilities
