Senior living communities are struggling to keep up with the demand for resources to care for their elderly. With fewer nurses available, especially for evening and weekend shifts, many are failing to operate at a profit.
Accelerated Care Solutions is hoping to bridge the gap between the needs of senior living communities and the limited supply of nurses with their new Virtual Nurse Triage service. By leveraging their Telehealth online platform and nurse retention projects, they are helping to change the traditional model of nursing where nurses can choose to work remotely or on site.
The product also offers clinical assessments services that allows an unbiased set of eyes to ensure the assessments are accurate and timely and will increase the facilities’ revenue. The additional revenue can also be used to hire more nurses and improve the quality of life for staff.
The company was founded by Mike McGuire and was created to solve the growing issue of the senior living community’s inability to meet the current demands. Mike and his team are also researching the integration of artificial intelligence into their Virtual Nurse Triage to further improve the efficiency and quality of patient care.
As the population of those aged 85 and older continues to grow, Accelerated Care Solutions is determined to provide a more sustainable approach to senior care and help bridge the gap between resources and needs. By giving nurses options to work remotely and onsite, they are aiming to improve the work-life balance and recruitment strategy for senior living facilities, ultimately allowing them to care for more elderly people in a better way.
