See the Trend Before the Tag: Staying Ahead of Citations


news 1-2

At SharelyCare.ai, we believe the best way to manage citations is to prevent them. But how do you stop something you can’t see coming? The answer starts with visibility. With over 397,000 citations issued to U.S. nursing homes in the last three years, identifying risk early is not just helpful, it is essential.

That’s why SharelyCare.ai offers a smarter approach. Our Citation Trend Analytics module helps long-term care (LTC) providers analyze, benchmark, and predict where compliance issues may arise. No guesswork. No scrambling. Just clear, data-driven insight into how your facility compares and where to act now before surveyors arrive.
 
Problems Faced by LTC Facilities
 
Care1.1-1
  1. Hidden Risk Areas for Citations
    Without visibility into local and national trends, facilities miss key signals. Citations often follow patterns that remain invisible until a surveyor points them out.
  2. No Historical Citation Statistics or Benchmarking
    Most administrators don’t have an easy way to compare their citation history against peers. This makes it hard to identify whether a deficiency is an isolated issue or part of a broader trend.
  3. Late Response to Regulatory Shifts
    When new survey priorities emerge at the state or national level, many facilities find out too late. Usually, this happens after the citation has landed.
