One of the less commonly discussed benefits of the smartphone revolution is the ability to get incredible amounts of contextual data in an instant. With a quick glance at your phone, you instantly get to know a store’s hours, how busy it is, and the most efficient route to get there considering current traffic conditions. It will even reroute you if there’s a sudden slowdown.

Data that pertains to given sets of contexts has influenced our way of operation in multiple ways, but it’s still less common at work—even in the highly personal industry of senior living. This is incredibly important to us at OwlHealth&Care, since we help senior living communities harness the power of real-time information.

In a webinar we did with Senior Living Foresight, one of the leaders from the Jewish Home Family coined a new term for the power of contextual information: “the Deep Know.” It’s not just about real-time information but the context for that information—the deeper patterns that turn data into actionable insights.

What is the “Deep Know”?

To put it simply, think of it as the senior living equivalent of having your smartphone with you at all times. This way, you benefit from instantaneous yet tailored insights that transform decision-making and care delivery.

How Does It Work?

By integrating data from multiple sources (clinical, operational, quality, staff-related, and financial), we empower care teams and executives to visualize what’s happening with just a few simple clicks. A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) can see the latest updates on each resident they’re caring for. Executive teams gain real-time insights that inform and influence both the top and bottom lines of the business.

Here’s why it matters:

• Seamless Shift Transitions: Outgoing and incoming caregivers share a transparent, up-to-date view of resident status. It’s everything at-a-glance.

• Knowledge Management for Efficiency: New hires use handheld devices to get immediate feedback on tasks, reducing the need to chase down supervisors for in-the-moment questions. This increases their efficiency while simultaneously decreasing dedicated time investment necessary for on-the-job training.

• Actionable Dashboards: Each user sees only the data that’s relevant to them, streamlining their ability to make fast, informed decisions without searching for the specific data points or analysis paralysis.

• Reduced Paperwork: We unshackle your teams from endless binders, freeing them to focus on delivering more meaningful care. Talk about being efficient and environment-friendly at the same time—and with fewer things to carry around!
