Does it seem like everyone is talking about artificial intelligence (AI) for everything? While headlines proclaim impossibilities, it can seem AI solutions are far from reality \u2013 especially in assisted living where <\/span>less than 50%<\/span><\/a> of providers have adopted electronic health records (EHRs). But make no mistake: artificial intelligence will have real impact on the assisted living industry \u2013 and not so far in the future. <\/span><\/p>\n

AI: <\/span>Artificial Intelligence is the term used to describe technology that makes computers perform \u201csmart\u201d or human-like tasks.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

In this article, John Shafaee, co-founder and CEO of Medtelligent predicts how AI will be applied in assisted living and offers suggestions for positioning your organization to utilize AI solutions as they mature.<\/span><\/p>\n

Better Monitoring of Care Will Improve Operational Efficiency<\/b><\/h4>\n

One challenge facing assisted living operators is resident turnover, much of it driven by a change in plan of care. Assisted living software can create a more consistent view of residents\u2019 health. Assisted living software <\/span>with integrated machine learning pattern matching algorithms<\/span><\/i> will provide a way to passively measure minor shifts that can cause a major increase in expenses. Managing health changes and identifying risk ahead of semi-annual assessments gives communities a chance to solve health problems proactively and deliver care more efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n

ML:<\/span> Machine learning refers to the use of advanced math functions to create models with data which allow a computer to make predictions and recommendations.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Improving Resident Satisfaction Will Increase Top Line Growth<\/b><\/h4>\n

Improving health outcomes will increase the length of stay in assisted living communities. If a community of 65 residents can extend each resident\u2019s stay by just one month, that can increase the community\u2019s annual revenue 227,500.00 (assuming an average of $3,500 per resident per month). Quality of care will further improve as expert knowledge is codified and delivered just-in-time to support new staff as they provide hands-on care. Machine learning algorithms in assisted living software will design individualized plans of care, accounting for both expressed and implied preferences. Along the way, resident satisfaction \u2013 and revenue from referrals and retention \u2013 will increase. <\/span><\/p>\n

Algorithm:<\/span> An algorithm is a set of step-by-step instructions that describe how to perform a task.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Task Automation Will Reduce Assisted Living Employee Turnover<\/b><\/h4>\n

Importantly, AI can also be used to enhance quality of life for caregivers and staff. AI will soon be used to automate tedious data entry tasks with hands-free charting. Reminders will reduce the stress (and regulatory exposure) of missing a step in a complex care plan. And turnover will stabilize as staff satisfaction improves with machine learning-optimized staff scheduling and team communications. <\/span><\/p>\n

Personalized Pricing Will Enhance Resident Satisfaction<\/b><\/h4>\n

Machine learning will also be used to develop more accurate and individualized cost models, providing better price justification and transparency during and after the sales process. Just as pay-as-you-go insurance plans adjust based on how many miles you drive, assisted living care will leave behind today\u2019s tiered payment plans for more personalized pricing. <\/span><\/p>\n

Setting the Right Foundation for AI in Assisted Living<\/b><\/h4>\n

In the case of AI for assisted living, don\u2019t think that if it\u2019s not imminent, it\u2019s not important. Now is the time for senior living executives to lay the foundation for leveraging these powerful technologies. <\/span><\/p>\n

The best investments for assisted living providers include: <\/span><\/p>\n
