Attendees then heard insights from Allen and Bowles, who explained the challenges their communities faced before adopting BI tools. They continued by sharing their firsthand experience implementing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/products\/senior-iq\/\">Yardi Senior IQ<\/a> \u2014 a single connected BI solution \u2014 describing how it\u2019s transformed their operations for the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a highlight:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Throckmorton: <\/strong><em>How does Senior IQ help you and your team?<\/em><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Allen:<\/strong> Yardi Senior IQ has been very helpful to our team here at Dominion Senior Living, mainly in the way of convenience. A lot of business intelligence information can be arranged on a single screen \u2014 from community management information to marketing or EHR \u2014 and the financial information, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We no longer have to pull 8 different reports. Rent roll, trial balance, trend activity and incident reports \u2014 it can all be arranged on one dashboard. Plus it has graphs, tables and comparisons. It\u2019s very helpful and expedient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Throckmorton: <\/strong><em>How much time is saved when using business intelligence tools?<\/em><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Allen:<\/strong> The time saving is in the convenience. Our community management and financial team members were having to run 8 different reports each month, all to see the same data they now see on one screen. And when reading a direct Voyager report, with all the columns and amounts, it sometimes all blurs together. It\u2019s much better to see graphs and access comparisons with communities. Now the team can analyze things quicker \u2014 and help manage or improve our data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Throckmorton: <\/strong><em>What\u2019s changed at Dial Senior Living now that you have a business intelligence solution?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bowles<\/strong>: It\u2019s absolutely night and day. For the folks who had to fill out these reports and manage all this data, they can now get back to focusing on the residents \u2014 which is what we\u2019re here to do. The data requires little management. We\u2019ve already done the initial input, and now the data is transformed for us. The insight we\u2019ve gained from that \u2014 the trending data \u2014 is just amazing to us. We look at trend occupancy and trending care information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a lot in Senior IQ we weren\u2019t able to track before since we were doing stuff manually. Now, being able to use a true business intelligence platform, it gets us the right information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Throckmorton: <\/strong><em>How would you describe Dial\u2019s growth since using Senior IQ?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bowles<\/strong>: We\u2019ve been growing for a long time, and our growth is still going. If we look at the way we were compiling data before, the more we grew, the more people we needed to help us track all that data. Now, we don\u2019t need another regional person to crunch data for a new area we\u2019re building. Yardi Senior IQ crunches it for us. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In certain departments where we\u2019re growing, there\u2019s no longer this large or heavy workload. Even through COVID-19 when we were making staffing adjustments, this was a core thing that held us all together. Our data integrity didn\u2019t fall apart during a worldwide crisis. That really helped us sustain growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about business intelligence in senior living, and to unlock tips in selecting the right solution, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/resources.yardi.com\/documents\/differentiators-in-senior-living-business-intelligence-technology-ebook\/\">our ebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"mailto:sales@yardi.com?subject=I'd%20like%20to%20learn%20about%20Yardi%20Senior%20IQ\">Get in touch<\/a> to learn more about Senior IQ \u2014 Yardi\u2019s single connected BI solution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the benefits of business intelligence in senior living?
