As post-acute facilities are pushed beyond their limits and forced to re-evaluate daily operations amid staffing shortages, budget uncertainty, declining occupancy, and more unknowns, where can nursing facilities find a lifeline? The key is to unlock the power of EHR data and make it work harder for you and your team.

Real Time Medical Systems is the industry-leading Interventional Analytics platform that turns live post-acute EHR data into actionable insights. Compatible with all major post-acute EHRs, Real Time’s cloud-based solution generates a live-sync with key data points within the EHR, including keywords found in nursing and narrative notes. Utilizing live documentation, the platform identifies subtle changes in condition as they occur and prioritizes high-risk patients by clinical need. Enabling facilities to seamlessly share live clinical data with their partner hospitals, health systems, ACOs, and health plans, care teams can improve patient care, reduce unnecessary costs, and achieve a level of post-acute interoperability – with no additional work or duplicate data entry needed.
