Decide before the money is gone.

Gap analysis

Five questions. Two minutes. See where the money slips.

Answer for today. Every no marks a gap you can close.

• Admissions

  Before you accept a referral, do you know the projected rate it will pay?

  Yes No

  You accept on a guess and find out what it paid weeks later.

  Decisive prices the referral against your payer contract before you say yes.

• Per patient

  Do you have an objective estimate of all your costs per patient?

  Yes No

  You learn a stay lost money after the month closes.

  Decisive shows margin per patient while they are still in the building.

• Medicaid pending

  Do you have a protocol that limits your losses on Medicaid-pending residents?

  Yes No

  Unpaid pending days pile up until the application clears, or doesn't.

  Decisive tracks every pending case and the dollars riding on it.

• Budget

  Does each administrator know today where they stand against budget?

  Yes No

  They hear it from a report weeks later, if someone sends one.

  Decisive puts the budget number in front of every administrator daily.

• Margin

  Do you see every building's margin before the books close?

  Yes No

  You see it after month end, when it is already history.

  Decisive shows margin by building while the month is still open.
