Overview

Nexion Health operates 56 skilled nursing facilities across Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. The organization adopted Covr to gain better control of labor costs and reduce overtime spending. By pairing Covr’s scheduling platform with Data IQ, Covr’s premium analytics tool, Nexion was able to compare performance across locations and track cost savings across the portfolio.

Analysis

Facilities that fully adopted Covr saw meaningful reductions in labor costs quarter over quarter. A 2% decrease in DPPD translated to $43K in annual savings per facility. Overtime hours were also reduced, contributing another $34K in annual savings. Together, these improvements delivered an average of $77K in savings per facility each year.

In contrast, Nexion facilities not actively using Covr saw a 6% increase in DPPD quarter over quarter, resulting in an added cost of $106K per year.

Facilities using Covr leveraged built-in labor reports and scheduling automation to reduce overscheduling and overtime. One facility, previously scheduling staff 8% over budgeted hours, now operates 2% under budget—while still meeting staffing requirements. Another location aligned its scheduled PPD with budget and cut overtime hours by 56%.
