Many have proposals for possible solutions, from policy researchers to operators with a boots-on-the-ground perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/00027162211061509\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recent study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> conducted by Harvard\u2019s David Grabowski and Brian McGarry argues that one of the key solutions to aiding the current issue is simply <\/span><em>money<\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Federal money needs to flow freely into SNFs to allow operators to hire more physicians, nurse practitioners, and other clinical and support staff. The Provider Relief Funds were a good start, but CMS needs to step in and help facilities with what is forecasted\u2014a continued period of greater staffing costs and mandated demand for more skilled workers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The White House recently announced <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2022\/02\/28\/fact-sheet-protecting-seniors-and-people-with-disabilities-by-improving-safety-and-quality-of-care-in-the-nations-nursing-homes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a set of initiatives from CMS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that propose establishing minimum staffing requirements and specifically references the benefits of increasing registered nurse care time in the nursing home.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cIncreasing registered nurse staffing by just 20 minutes per resident day was associated with 22% fewer confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 26% fewer COVID-19 deaths.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better-staffed facilities with fewer part-time or agency workers have also been tied to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcknights.com\/news\/these-10-steps-needed-to-save-skilled-nursing-experts-say\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fewer COVID cases<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a finding that will likely apply in the post-COVID world to other respiratory infections.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A robust roster of skilled staff and specialists is an investment that has lasting power. The present use of agency workers to meet minimum staffing numbers is a revolving door of workers plugging a leaking hull. Think about tomorrow today, and what you want your facilities to look like. Familiar faces who create relationships with residents and can spot health issues before they worsen are essential to improving care outcomes in an increasingly value-based system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It should be clear to operators that hiring skilled nurses is a better investment with long-term impacts than what has been evidenced by filling gaps with part-time workers hired through an app an hour before their shift starts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of the long game. Preventative care improves patient quality of life, improves facility quality scores, and thus, your reputation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enhance_Accounts_Receivable_Collections_For_Improved_Cash_Flow\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enhance Accounts Receivable &amp; Collections For Improved Cash Flow<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calls to improve staffing are widely regarded as positive, however, there remains the question, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do I pay for more skilled staff with revenue tied to CMS reimbursements?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One answer lies in your collections and accounts receivables team\u2019s processes and bandwidth. What you don\u2019t know and aren\u2019t able to account for can hurt you. One example is the constant changing of regulations. Every change increases the complexity in billing, as well as opportunities to stay on top of payments. Without dedicated staff and experts who are constantly reviewing changes, it is likely that operators are missing out on opportunities to accurately bill, which can result in delayed or missed revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ongoing training is one solution to ensure your back office billing staff are maximizing reimbursements, thus improving cash flow that can be used to hire skilled staff, improve facilities, or offer better resident experiences. Finding or training creative, skilled specialists in accounts receivable (AR) and collections can do just this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This need for qualified staff may require identifying external experts that can help provide greater oversight. With the right staff in place, back office administrators can eliminate the work required to recoup aged accounts by having dedicated experts tracking claims until they are paid out in full.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enhancing your back office\u2019s technology also improves its ability to track aging accounts and stay on top of claims until they are settled in greater detail. Some proprietary software solutions implemented by dedicated AR and collections outsourcing services like LTC Ally have direct data pipelines to collections software used by facilities that update in real-time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These solutions enable operators to prioritize and follow claims with the greatest vigilance possible. These backend services are critical to having the cash flow needed to pay staff, operate efficiently, and experience peace of mind, knowing that your financials are in order.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ancillary_Review_and_Cash_Flow_Management_for_Improved_Financial_Health\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ancillary Review and Cash Flow Management for Improved Financial Health<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In many mid-sized companies, eliminating wasteful practices, improving efficiencies, and optimizing processes can result in improved financial health and security. Analyzed with a fine-tooth comb, discrepancies in vendor fees, for example, add up month-over-month. Regular review of ancillary costs often highlights irregularities. Correcting these irregularities is integral to properly managing cash and ensuring that your facilities have the resources and funds necessary to operate efficiently and effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facility owners must have back office experts knowledgeable in best practices around cash flow and financial management. Things change rapidly in the world of long-term care (LTC), even when there aren\u2019t novel viruses driving new CMS initiatives. Dedicated cash flow management and financial experts offer an additional level of support that can improve bottom lines and offer increased insight and transparency into processes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many operators are opting to outsource their financial management to specialists like LTC Ally. Outsourcing back office processes of your long-term care facility to specialists expands your staffing bandwidth and brings on board highly trained experts who scrutinize transactions. This hyper-focused management of the flow of cash to vendors, utilities, and payroll, improves balances.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Todays_Solutions_for_Tomorrows_Long-Term_Care_Industry\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today\u2019s Solutions for Tomorrow\u2019s Long-Term Care Industry<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improving billing and collections processes, cash flow, and overall financial health puts skilled nursing and LTC facilities on the path to greater operational freedom. With the peace of mind that these areas are in order, operators can more readily allocate resources into hiring critical in-house staff or expanding the services their facilities offer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without the right staff or partner with proven back office outsourcing specialists, operators risk a shaky financial foundation that can hinder all areas of operations\u2014including staffing. The benefits of outsourcing these critical back office functions includes gaining access to a team of experts with both breadth and depth in experience that most operators cannot cultivate in-house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LTC Ally\u2019s dedicated specialists can take on any back office process in your long-term care or skilled nursing facility, ensuring every item and service is billed accurately and on time, increasing reimbursement turnaround, and procuring the best payer contract rates.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, LTC Ally helped facilities successfully navigate changing regulations and coordinated, reported, and applied for various stimulus programs on behalf of our clients, improving cash flow and delivering greater financial security.
