By 2030, all baby boomers will be 65 or older; but is technology in the long-term care industry keeping pace with growing demand? While discussions about technologys role in the long-term and post-acute care space are gaining momentum, many organizations providing that care admit that theyre not prepared to use innovative tools as part of a value-based strategy, according to a report published last fall by Black Book Research.Just 3 percent of inpatient long-term care providers surveyed say they deploy data analytics technology with a goal of cutting unnecessary hospital readmissions and lowering care costs.Most long-term care organizations are still stuck in a volume-based mindset, says Doug Brown, Black Book Researchs managing partner, in a press release accompanying the report. Integrating evidence-based practices through clinical operations can control rising costs, reduce duplication and other inefficiencies, and position the business to be a successful player in the reforming post-acute continuum.
