Good leadership depends on good data. Because without data, as the saying goes, you\u2019re just another person with an opinion.<\/p>\n

Thing is, everyone wants good data for making better business decisions. But not everyone wants to collect, clean, graph and dissect their datasets.<\/p>\n

Part of the issue is the sheer abundance of information, especially in senior living. From your standard financial metrics to qualitative measures like care level, there\u2019s always something extra to track down. Some staff may not even know where to find the right numbers in the first place.\"\"<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s the lack of clarity. How do you accurately organize and analyze what you have? Giant spreadsheets of columns and rows are not the easiest to understand, nor are they very shareable.<\/p>\n

The current state of senior living business intelligence<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a tricky situation that senior living providers have approached in a couple ways.<\/p>\n

Manually creating reports:<\/strong> The most common method. You (or your staff) spend days\u2019 worth of preparation before big meetings, pulling numbers from siloed systems, cutting and pasting inside spreadsheets. When you have monthly or even weekly calls that require up-to-date numbers, this is a significant time sink.<\/p>\n

Adapting third-party tools:<\/strong> Today\u2019s business intelligence software options are powerful, but they are general-purpose tools. Which means long implementation and customization, trying to fit the product to senior living. Some organizations even require a dedicated full-time employee to manually upload data and manage the solution.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the future of business intelligence in senior living looks brighter.<\/p>\n
