The Challenge - Given the National Healthcare Reform Initiative to reduce costs across the board, the challenge is to identify programs to help skilled nursing or long-term care facilities accomplish these goals. The simple answer is – there is only one program – Daylight IQ.
The Daylight IQ Product Suite Solution - Significantly increased financial outcomes are notable benefits to deploying Daylight IQ. In addition to improving quality of care in a skilled nursing facility, Daylight IQ improves the bottom line by increasing occupancy, increasing the ratio of skilled beds, capturing services provided for reimbursement and enjoying a considerable competitive advantage with hospitals and physicians.
Equally important, Daylight IQ has been shown to dramatically reduce hospital readmissions by up to 50%. Hospital readmission is a key component to reducing healthcare costs. A recent Medicare report shows a staggering percentage of patients are readmitted to hospitals after being discharged. By reducing the rate of readmission, the COMS system has proven to help lower long-term care costs.
Increased skilled bed days occupied (as a result of decreased hospital readmissions and increased referrals from physicians, hospitals and personal patient choice) produce enhanced Medicare revenues, often doubling or tripling skilled resident reimbursement. By the second year of implementation, Daylight IQ Return on Investment (defined as total Medicare reimbursement/cost of system implementation) averages between 8 and 23 times the first year cost. COMS guarantees a minimum revenue return on investment of 5x. Additional ROI in the form of cost savings efficiencies, risk management, and staff retention further support the offering.

Quality of Care - Daylight IQ can reduce unnecessary hospitalizations by up to 50%, allowing residents to convalesce in a more comfortable environment. Lower re-hospitalization rates translate into increased revenue for the facility.
Improved Stakeholder Satisfaction - Using Daylight IQ helps facilities enjoy better staff morale. Facilities also benefit from an improved care record, which drives word-of-mouth referrals and revenues.
Maximizing Performance - Facilities using the Daylight IQ suite are rated higher by local hospitals, as the staff more effectively manages residents with multiple acute and chronic diseases. This in turn leads to more referrals. Over a three-year period, facilities using the COMS System reported a referral rate increase well over 250%.

COMS Clients' Kudos
- "I like the systematic approach it gives the nurses to follow- up with patient's primary diseases. And then, a systematic approach for management to see if we/ staff are doing a good job, and, if not, a way to fix it and/ or improve patient care results“
- Greg Nijak, Administrator, Patriot Ridge Community - “My experience with the COMS system has been enlightening from an administrative perspective. I have seen a positive trend in reduction of returns to the acute hospital and also improvement in our processes for assessment and intervention. We have been able to take the data and analyze for trends relative to specific diseases, co-morbidities, referral sources and physician tendencies. Our analysis has developed some salient issues that we have used in changing our admission review process as well as certain interactions regarding our various attending physicians and provides supportive data to our Medical Director in his duties of physician relations. My experience has been positive and hopeful that technology will allow us to continue this process in as close to a real time environment as possible.”
