Case Study: California Department of Veterans Affairs achieves painless PBJ compliance with SimplePBJ™ by Simple

State of California trusts SimplePBJ™ for painless PBJ compliance

The California Department of Veterans Affairs (CalVet) faced significant challenges with PBJ compliance, relying on inefficient paper timesheets and manual data compilation. Their process was complicated by staff working overnight shifts and administrative personnel providing direct care, creating a daunting reporting burden for their limited management staff. The vendor, Simple, a Netsmart solution, implemented its SimplePBJ™ product to address these issues.

Simple’s solution automated the conversion of timekeeping data to meet PBJ rules, enabling CalVet to upload accurate reports to CMS successfully within days. The SimplePBJ™ system minimized the effort required from management, allowing them to refocus on patient care quality. The customer was thrilled with the painless process and low cost of submission, which gave them confidence in their reports and led them to expand the use of SimplePBJ™ across all their skilled nursing facilities.
