Webinar - “Data Tracking & Trending:  It’s Not Just for SNFs Anymore!”

1.0 Administrative CEUs

Assisted living communities are no longer able to provide anecdotal information as a means of justification.  Data to support the quality of care and services provided is becoming increasingly important.  Unfortunately, data tracking and trending is still a new philosophy for many assisted living communities.  This session will explore the benefits, rationales, and importance of tracking and trending data in assisted living.
