RCare - PEAK Leadership Summit - QAPI and RMetrixCoffee

Like all decision-makers, executives in non-profit CCRCs need good information to make informed decisions. This information can be about regulations, industry trends, or demographic shifts–pretty much any aspect of business. But having good, up-to-date information is never more important than when it comes to decisions about technology, and how the right tool can help your community improve its ratings, and provide the data and insights you need for a successful quality assurance and improvement program. That’s why RCare is attending the PEAK Leadership Summit in Washington, DC this year and offering a free cup of QAPI!

We’ll be at BaseCamp in Kiosk #36. Stop by and visit, and have a cup of coffee on us. And then let’s talk about QAPI.

QAPI

Many CCRCs are hip-deep in implementing their regulation-mandated QAPI (quality assurance and performance improvement) programs. Leaders in these organizations will want to know about RCare’s newly revamped RMetrix reporting. We specifically redesigned it around the needs of communities who are initiating and managing quality programs. At RCare we like to say that if you can’t measure it, how can you manage it? RMetrix helps you measure important information about calls that will help you improve resident and family satisfaction, staff work loads, and resident health and safety, from basic call response times, to so-called “frequent fliers,” to comparisons among shifts, wings, and even different campuses.

The reports are extremely customizable, but we also want to give you flexibility to build your own reports with the included report designer. And if you don’t have the time or expertise to do it, RCare’s own business analysts can build custom-tailored reports for you. This is the kind of reporting that turns data into insight, and insight into action. When community leaders implement change in their organization, it will be data-driven. And its success will be proven with real metrics.

But that’s not all. We are also showcasing our brand new, safe area zoning, 3-in-1 GeoPendants.

GeoPendant

Seniors don’t become wander risks overnight. They don’t go from functioning perfectly in assisted living one day and requiring locked unit memory care the next. What are the best policies and procedures when caring for people going through this slow transition? Senior living executives will want to know about RCare’s GeoPendant when they make these kinds of decisions.

RCare - PEAK Leadership Summit - GeoPendant and QAPIThe GeoPendant can be programmed with a “safe zone,” unique to each wearer. What’s more, that safe zone can be customized right down to certain hallways or floors, other specific locations inside or outside a building. If the wearer moves outside the safe zone, caregivers are quietly and discreetly alerted so that they can redirect the individual. This way someone who poses a slight wander risk can be kept safe even while enjoying the independence and freedoms that come with living in a least-restrictive environment.

The GeoPendant also functions as a PERS button. When the wearer presses the button, it alerts staff that help is needed. And the GeoPendant comes equipped with Advanced Locating Protocol (ALP), to let caregivers know the location where the call was made, so that help can be directed to where it’s needed.

Stop by Kiosk #36, have a cup of QAPI coffee on us, and let us show you how your nurse call system can help your community raise its ratings, and succeed in its QAPI programs.

Meet RCare’s latest teammate: Mr Gary Jones.
Gary Jones
Sha la, la, la, la, la, la….

 

Please join us in welcoming Gary Jones to the RCare team. He is our new Director of National Sales and he’s a perfect addition to the RCare staff.

Gary JonesWe have to be honest, we couldn’t help trying to get Mr. Jones to “strike up a conversation.” It wasn’t hard to get him talking. He’s an incredibly smart, compassionate, friendly and personable guy. It was an obvious choice that he had the perfect mix of sales, technology and healthcare experience to be a great fit to our crew. Not to mention, he’s a swell guy who strongly believes in the RCare mission and vision.

He comes to us with a wide background in sales, technology, and health care. Before coming to RCare, Gary worked for the American Heart Association as the Director of Business Development & Corporate Relations. He has also worked for Asus, and the University of Rochester.

Gary attended Cornell University, and graduated with a degree in Biology. At Cornell, he competed on the Division I Track & Field team, where he was a Triple Jump champion. He is an Olympic Trials qualifier in that event as well.

So prepare to be amazed when you say “jump” and he says “how high?”

But Gary is not just about sales, healthcare and technology. In his spare time, he competes in CrossFit competitions around the country. He loves to travel, especially with his fiancée, Sarah. His favorite destination so far is Cairo, Egypt. Even though Mr. Gary Jones has admitted that he doesn’t know any “black-haired flamenco dancers,” we do know that he’s gonna be a big star.

Gary Jones

If you’re going to be on the road, you may have a chance to meet Gary. He’s going to be at HealthTAC in Nashville later this week. You’ll also find Gary at PEAK Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C. He’ll bring along our March 2017 catalog, which showcases all of our advanced nurse call solutions. We’ll also debut brand new products such as the BCube. The BCube offers all of the advanced features and technologies of our flagship nurse call solutions, but is designed, priced and scaled for smaller senior campuses.

Stop by and introduce yourself. We like Gary. We think you’ll like him, too. And trust us, Mr Jones is not only funky, but we know he really is gonna be a big, big star.

RC-PPP 2In March, RCare will be stealing the spotlight at the LeadingAge Peak Leadership Summit, where we will introduce our new lightweight, waterproof Pretty Pretty Pendant. This push-button pendant, available in a variety of patterns and designs, can be worn as a wristband or necklace.  We have two distinct designs for our Pretty Pretty Pendant Series: a fashionable, beautiful and sleek design for those who don’t wish to sacrifice elegance for security and also our latest model, the Patriot Pendant. This is a symbol of liberty, freedom and independence that can be worn proudly by any American.

“We’re really passionate about combining style with function,” said RCare CEO Myron Kowal, “These beautiful pendants can be worn in the shower, out in the garden, anywhere really, and they provide peace of mind to the wearer and carer. They’re also nice looking. We think this is an essential piece to actual compliance.”

The Peak Summit, held March 14-16 in Washington, D.C. is a unique conference that brings together the highest-level executives and business leaders in the aging and technology industry, and fosters education, strategic thinking, and networking.

RCare’s Myron Kowal will be sponsoring a reservation-only Aging 2.0 Fireside Chat on the Sunday evening leading up to the conference.
