The Problem
Spending $270,000 annually on Nurse Call Audits.
Nurse Call Auditing – Annually costs about $3000 per site.
With operational costs increasing RTM Cloud was engaged to review their current nurse call technology and offer solutions where they could use IoT technology for their legacy and future systems, leveraging time between nurse call audits and costs associated with these audits.
Cost Analysis: Prior to implementing the RTM IoT platform, often referred to as the Dashboard, the facility hired an external contractor to perform annual audits at a cost of $3,000/site/year. With our solution, the facility’s maintenance officer conducts audits every 90 days, resulting in more frequent and reliable testing.
The Solution
SMARTER AGED CARE DASHBOARD
Cost savings: The facility saved $3,000 annually by transitioning from an external contractor to the maintenance officer being able to use the IoT platform to conduct their own audits. Company saving over 90 sites of $270,000.
Increased reliability: By conducting audits every 90 days instead of annually, the facility ensured that system issues were identified and resolved quickly. This proactive approach led to a reduction in system downtime and provided assurance to residents and care teams alike.
User Confidence: Improved user confidence from care team by maintenance officer taking ownership.
Enhanced communication: The system’s advanced features facilitated better communication and more trust in systems for care teams. Increasing a higher level of care and possibly less incidents where the care team became complacent with faulty systems.
