New Case Studies

Two new case studies show how other providers are using, and benefitting from, data analytics.

• Driving Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) with Data Analytics: ALG Senior, LLC, which provides management services for a network of over 100 assisted and independent living communities, launched an enterprise data warehouse in 2020. Now, it has unified clinical, financial, and sales data from MatrixCare and MatrixCare Marketing, alongside data from numerous other systems. ALG Senior visualizes data and approaches analyses as storytellers. The tools synthesize data from multiple sources and provide targeted, precise calls-to-action for communities. 

  Outcomes include measurable improvements across KPIs, from Covid infection and vaccine tracking to collections to training completions. The insights produced incorporate ALG    Senior’s definition of success, decision support, and suggested actions, and community leaders respond accordingly.

  With its physician tools, prescriber rates for some targeted drugs, like antipsychotics and antibiotics, have decreased by over 20%. ALG Senior believes the Certified Provider Program is key to achieving value-based care, as it influences healthcare providers, improves residents’ outcomes, and reduces employees’ stress.
