The long-term care industry has begun to embrace the Internet as a forum of sharing information and exchanging ideas. Long-Term Living magazine recently annouced a "Web 2.0" initiative, publishing sites on social networking sites such as LinkedIn and Facebook.
Both McKnight's and Long-Term Living now publish blogs to share opinions, analysis and information that's relevant to continuing care professionals. And several individuals have launched sites that engage lively discussion of general healthcare issues, technology in healthcare, long-term care issues and more.
So we're launching CaringForward.com to join the discussion. Our company, Patient Placement Systems, is committed to developing Web-based long-term care software solutions to improve efficiency and performance of providers by automating the admissions process. We've done quite a bit of industry research, asking providers for feedback related to best practices and opportunities to apply technologies to work smarter, faster and better.
We'll be sharing some of that research on this site, along with other information and fresh ideas about how long-term care providers can use technology to achieve their mission of care while improving business and operational performance. We encourage professionals from nursing homes, home health agencies, hospice providers and other continuing care providers to check in periodically for new industry information, tips, advice and discussion.
Welcome to Web 2.0! It's a great way to connect with others in this field.
