The post-acute industry is facing unprecedented issues in staffing. These agencies lack the resources needed to fully optimize operations, and as a result the few available staff are overworked. Most clinicians are spending more time documenting outside of normal work hours eventually leading to burnout and dissatisfaction. At the same time, the state of post-acute operations is constantly evolving. Updates to models, new rulings from CMS, and tighter documentational requirements make the limited amount of available clinician hours even more scarce. With an increased focus and responsibility on accurate documentation, clinicians find themselves overwhelmed by the influx of monotonous tasks associated with this aspect of their work. In the rapidly evolving healthcare industry, there is an ever-increasing demand for providers to manage their workload effectively. This demand has created an overwhelming burden on professionals who are constantly struggling to keep up with the documentation process. Fortunately, transformative solutions exist to optimize these tasks, ultimately decreasing errors while increasing clinician satisfaction and reimbursement speed.
