Case Study: Satanta District Hospital & Long-Term Care improves resident care and saves documentation time with WellSky Long-Term Care

Electronic medical record key to boosting resident care and outcomes

Satanta District Hospital & Long-Term Care, a 44-bed long-term care facility in Satanta, Kansas, was relying on paper medical records, which led to duplicate records, missing information, missed documentation, and time-consuming manual reporting. The facility also faced overtime costs and limited visibility into quality measures, prompting it to seek a more efficient electronic solution from WellSky.

WellSky implemented its Long-Term Care EHR in 2019, giving staff a single place to manage resident charts, assessments, MARS, TARs, and care plans. The result was less duplicate work, more accurate documentation, better compliance, and improved information sharing across departments. Satanta reported saving about 4 hours per day, or about 2 hours per shift, on documentation alone, while also increasing focus on resident care and quality measures.
