What we covered in today’s episode

  1. Can you tell us a little bit about your journey and what led you to become the Vice President of Skilled Nursing Solutions Strategy at MatrixCare?
  2. So with COVID-19 continue to be a forefront for the world population health, and most importantly, its impact and risk regarding the senior population, can you speak to the topic of infection tracking in skilled nursing facilities? What are you seeing as far as infection tracking with and without technology?
  3. One thing with COVID-19 is that seems to be challenging for folks in skilled nursing facilities to be even more proactive in managing the resident risk. Do you have any suggestions for things to look for or research to better track COVID severity risks?
  4. Do you have any hints for our listeners on once they do get their COVID severity risk scores and are tracking down the pack, what are some of the best practices on where and how to use this information?
  5. With the key infection topics and infection tracking efficiencies, the suggestions on research and ways to build on and track risk and best practices and using all of the valuable data, could you share briefly what is available in MatrixCare today from a technology perspective to support all of those topics?
