CareListings Unveils Groundbreaking Staffing Calculator for Skilled Nursing Facilities Amid Proposed Mandates

CareListings’ first-of-its-kind Staffing Calculator utilizes CMS data to offer significant insight for senior care operators. Designed to help providers understand the potential requirements for nurse hours per resident day (HPRD) under the proposed staffing mandates. The calculator evaluates staffing based on occupancy, visualizes agency staff dependency, assesses turnover rates, and projects the financial impact of direct hiring decisions, paving the way for strategic workforce management and enhanced care quality.

SEATTLE, WA / ACCESSWIRE / February 27, 2024 / In a pioneering effort to aid the current staffing crisis within the senior care industry, CareListings has unveiled a first-of-its-kind interactive Staffing Calculator. This tool is designed to help skilled nursing providers assess the potential effects of the proposed federal staffing mandates, while offering regional benchmarks to ensure facilities are adequately prepared to meet upcoming requirements.

Addressing the Nurse Staffing Crisis with Data-Driven Solutions

The Staffing Calculator emerges at a critical moment, with anticipated federal mandates on the horizon for skilled nursing providers. By leveraging data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), CareListings offers a unique solution that enables facilities to plan effectively for additional staffing needs. This tool allows users to calculate their current staffing levels, visualize dependency on agency staff, assess turnover rates, and gain additional insight into the number of hires required to maintain optimal operational levels.

A Tool Tailored to Industry Needs

CareListings’ Staffing Calculator serves as an essential resource for both corporate and facility-level planning. “With this launch, we’re taking millions of CMS data points and making them interactive. Users may analyze their current staffing levels and compare the data to regional benchmarks, supporting future planning,” says Carl Rogers, CEO of CareListings. “Everyone knows there is a nurse staffing problem, but finally being able to see the direct financial implications in the public domain will help shift the conversation.”
