SNF Operators – Know Your PBJ Staffing Star Ratings… before they post

SNF Operators – Know Your PBJ Staffing Star Ratings… before they post

What would it mean to your organization if you could watch the trend of your CMS PBJ staffing star ratings … daily?

Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) is the report used by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to evaluate levels of staffing in a skilled nursing facility as it relates to quality measures. To determine the quarterly PBJ staffing star rating, the intricate formula calculates RN and overall staffing against census and complexity of the patients.

The formula, while intricate, can be a useful tool for SNF operators who wish to make a positive impact on their quarterly ratings. However, doing the calculations manually would be an onerous task. Filling out the quarterly report for CMS based on time clock data is complex enough without trying to manually figure the calculations.

At Prone 2 Dream, we believe there’s a better way – a prospective approach. By viewing timeclock data and census together on a daily basis, a SNF operator and their Director of Nursing can make evidence-based decisions when scheduling. Dream CORE Dashboards is a business intelligence solution that provides daily tracking of your time clock data, as well as Overtime Analysis, Earnings Reports, Wage Analysis, Labor Distribution and more.

By watching your DreamCORE Dashboards on a daily basis, you have actionable information to positively impact your PBJ staffing star ratings.

Missing an RN one day? Set your DreamCORE to alert you – so you can correct the situation before it becomes part of your permanent CMS record.

When you have access to your daily PBJ staffing star ratings and make data-driven decisions on a daily basis, you can:

> Optimize clinical staffing dollars

> Equip your team to stay ahead of timeclock data

> Gain insight on CMS adjustment trends

Daily visibility of PBJ star trends brings stability, and ultimately enables you to project what each quarter’s stars will be. DreamCORE takes the mystery out of PBJ reporting.

Role Based Access Control for Skilled Nursing Business Intelligence

Role Based Access Control for Skilled Nursing Business Intelligence

Data drives decisions, evidence-based decisions.

 

Yet, in the world of breathtakingly fast data analytics, how can you be certain that only the right people are seeing sensitive data? This is the purpose of Role-Based Control Access (RBAC) also known as Role-Based Security (RBS).

 

What is Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)?

 

Each person in an organization has a position or a role. RBAC sets a framework whereby each employee only has access to data that is pertinent to that role. If the individual has responsibility for budget decisions for a specific department, he/she has access to that data only and no access to other departments.

 

Prone 2 Dream Technologies deploys RBAC for its DreamCORE Dashboards. Skilled Nursing business intelligence is delivered in drillable dashboards with a focus on Census, Overtime, Receivables, and Expenses. These are the CORE of the business and where frontline department leaders are making decisions about how to spend the company’s revenue.

 

These leaders are expected to contribute to the overall profitability of the company. However, they typically have to wade through data overload by signing into multiple platforms or shuffling multiple spreadsheets to find what they need to make decisions.

 

DreamCORE Dashboards presents the plethora of skilled nursing data in a logical, relevant format, with infinite views. RBAC narrows the scope to each individual’s frame of reference – he or she only sees the data for areas where they can make an impact. They get the data they need… and ONLY the data they need.

 

Here’s the RBAC framework for DreamCORE Dashboards:

 

RBAC Framework

 

 

Examples of Role-Based Access Control

 

Culinary Manager – Sees payroll, overtime, and department budget adjusted daily per fluctuating census only for the facility’s culinary department

 

Director of Nursing – Sees payroll, overtime, and department budget adjusted daily per fluctuating census only for the facility’s nursing department. Plus, she sees a daily tracking of her CMS PBJ star rating – data only relevant to her role.

 

Facility Administrator – Sees all the data relevant to that specific property/location.

Regional Director – Sees all the data for the facilities he oversees.

 

Executive Team – All the data for all the facilities, as well as corporate financials, P&L, forecasts, Payroll Analysis, and more.

 

As a result, sensitive data remains secure, and each individual is aware that their focus is different from another within the company. Yet DreamCORE Dashboards provide one version of the truth, updated daily.

 

Two individuals in different roles, but who have access to the same dashboard page are both seeing the same data. For example, a regional director has a virtual meeting with a facility administrator. They are both seeing that facility’s “green data” – one version of the truth, updated daily.

 

Benefits of RBAC in DreamCORE Dashboards

 

  1. Protects sensitive payroll data. Most department leaders need to control schedules and overtime expense, yet need to keep wage rates secure. DreamCORE Dashboards provides that security while allowing leaders to make data-driven decisions.
  2. Protects patient data. DreamCORE Dashboards focus on the financial data of a patient’s stay and it’s only available to certain roles, as defined by executive leadership.
  3. Eliminates data overload at the front line. Narrowing the focus is the first step towards positive outcomes – DreamCORE Dashboards are a tool for front line success.
  4. Ease of change. Individuals’ roles change – whether they are adding responsibilities, moving to a different facility, or getting a promotion, changing access is as easy as contacting our support team.

Your Daily Data Story… the Pulse of Your P&L

What would it mean to your organization to have the pulse of your P&L available to you every morning? Imagine, instead of shuffling multiple reports or clicking through multiple browser screens, one dashboard with the ability to drill down on red flag anomalies highlighted by daily green data.

One-Stop-Shop of Cash Position

 

 

DreamCORE Dashboards sort data from your book of record, EHR, and timeclock/payroll system into logical, relevant views every day.

Drill Down into Cash Position

 

 

 

With the click of a button, you have your daily cash analytics – daily deposits, trend by month, by roll up, or by individual facility – this is a bird’s eye view of where you stand today, relative to payroll or other large expenses.

With daily green data, you have one version of the truth. Executive leadership sees the comprehensive view of the organization. Our role-based security protocols keep high level analytics protected. You’re able to share appropriate information with investors, REITs, and stakeholders. And, you can share different, yet appropriate information with your senior leaders. All viewers are seeing the green data, updated daily, one version of the truth, yet the screens that are only relevant to their role in the company.

Payroll Analysis picks up GL code to display daily PPD and dollars PPD

 

 

Your comprehensive dashboard is flexible for you to “lock down” to specific views. DreamCORE Dashboards have been designed to enable SNF companies to transform data overload into relevant views. Remove the clutter to drill down into any specific facility, department, even employee timecard – to give you perspective on true action needed. You can confidently make evidence-based decisions.

Having a daily pulse on payroll enables the ability to manage overtime, improve CMS star ratings, improve contractual agreements, and serve your clients to the best possible outcomes.

A facility DON typically doesn’t have an MBA. Nor do your other facility department leaders. Yet, each one is expected to contribute to the profitability of the company. With DreamCORE Dashboards, you equip your regionals and administrators with the mentoring tool so each can manage their department’s numbers to success.
