PHSK Boosts Quality, Achieves ROI, and Reports Outcomes with AHT
Posted by Jennifer Clement on Wed, Feb 01, 2012
With a mission-driven call, Presbyterian Homes and Services of Kentucky (PHSK) is committed to dignity and independence for residents since 1882. Four campuses serve communities in KY – including a CCRC, two skilled nursing facilities, and one assisted living facility. A stellar reputation maximizes census.
Technology is a key strategy for driving high-quality care, and a partnership with American HealthTech is core to operations across the enterprise. PHSK’s impressive results include:
- Boosted resident satisfaction, improved assessments, streamlined care transitions, simplified accident/incident/infection tracking, and expanded education
- Eliminated potential for missed follow up documentation for medication administration – a potential survey issue
- Freed up 1 FTE per facility formerly dedicated to updating assignments - with streamlined workflows
- Eliminated 95% of overtime and an FTE equivalent in the business office for data entry between the financial and clinical system
- Drastically reduced default rates – one incident alone previous to AHT had an opportunity cost of $100K
- Surfaced new reports for benchmarking and leverage of best practices
- Launched outcomes reporting to monitor clinical excellence, drive continuous improvement, and prepare for the accountable world of healthcare to come
“Knowledge is power, and we’re well positioned to compete with Outcomes Reporting in the regions we serve.” Dearl Layton, Director of IT, Presbyterian Homes & Services of Kentucky
