At the upcoming 2018 NIC Fall Conference, the “Innovations That Work” session will share ideas on innovative technologies and tools that are changing the way operators and investors care for residents. Rapid-fire, seven-minute presentations on five key topics and moderated by Arnold Whitman, Founder and Chairman of Formation Capital, LLC, will address real-world examples of innovative solutions to some of the most pressing challenges in the industry today. Topics include how to:

- implement cloud-based software to improve quality at the end of life
Further descriptions are below:
Jayne Keller, vice president of operations at Capella Living Solutions, will share ideas to reduce staff turnover that include how to use innovative thinking to develop a sense of community between staff and residents. Keller will tell us how high staff turnover impacts residents and will explain how the implementation of new perspectives has helped to decrease staff turnover at her properties.
Tim Reilly, vice president of human resources at Benchmark Senior Living, will also address how to reduce turnover rates in his lightning round talk. Reilly will share newly collected data from an analytics software package that can help predict the tenure of job applicants as Benchmark works to attract and retain staff.
