New integration aligns staffing with real-time acuity data to optimize scheduling and workforce efficiency.
Kevala, the pioneering healthcare workforce management software start-up, and August Health, the best-in-class EHR platform in senior living, are excited to announce a new integration that optimizes staffing levels to dynamically match the overall care needs of residents.
The senior living industry faces widespread staffing challenges due to workforce shortages, employee turnover, and the stressors of caring for high-acuity residents. In the face of risks ranging from caregiver burnout to unmet resident care needs to reliance on costly staffing agencies, it is evident that staff scheduling requires better intelligence.
With the August Health - Kevala integration, senior living operators can now make data-driven staffing decisions with real-time resident information at their fingertips.
“This is just the start of the game-changing intelligence we intend to deliver with August Health,” said Todd Owens, co-founder and CEO of Kevala. “Senior living is a high-stakes, no-margin-for-error industry, and operators deserve more than guesswork—they need real-time, connected insights that drive smarter decisions. That’s exactly what partnerships like this are built for.”
By seamlessly connecting August Health’s EHR platform with Kevala’s intelligent scheduling solutions, senior living operators can implement acuity-based staffing strategies that align the right staff with the right care needs.
“It’s imperative to get staffing right. If a community is understaffed, then quality of care may be compromised. If a community is overstaffed, it can be difficult to manage operational costs. In partnership with Kevala, we are helping operators automate a scheduling model that meets the dynamic care needs of the residents,” said Justin Schram, M.D., co-Founder and co-CEO of August Health.
The integration is now broadly available to operators who use both August Health and Kevala.
