How to Maximize Your Technology Investment
The Digital/Human Intersection — Reducing Falls and Risk
Description
Technology is not the “end all, be all” problem-solver, but in this webinar with partner, Church Mutual Insurance Company, S.I. (a stock insurer)1, we’ll share how to find the right balance of digital and human interactions to maximize your investment, elevate your programs while reducing risks, and produce results.
You’ve heard about technological advances in senior living. But how does technology fit within a comprehensive program? And once you’ve adopted the technology, how do you maximize these innovations beyond the initial “wow” factor? We’ll cover how to assess your fall programs and how to leverage technology to go beyond detection and how it can be leveraged for reducing fall risks through the timely orchestration of digital and human interactions. You’ll learn best practices for adopting, training, and ultimately, elevating programs centered around technology.
