AHCA Gives Members a New Way to Track and Trend Their Turnover and Retention Data

The NEW Turnover and Retention Upload is now available in
ltctrendtracker

Members of THCA are automatically members of the American Health Care Association (AHCA) and National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL) so can now easily upload turnover and retention data in LTC Trend Tracker.

———————————————————

Members will be able to benchmark themselves against their peers and have instant feedback on turnover and retention rates.
———————————————————

The new upload resource replaces the annual AHCA/NCAL staffing survey and includes data for both assisted living and skilled nursing.

The Turnover and Retention Upload includes four questions for seven different staff positions, including:

⇒  Administrator/Executive Director

⇒ Director of Nursing/Director
of Residential Care Services

⇒  Staff RN

⇒  LVN/LPN

⇒  CNAs (SNF)

⇒  Aides (AL)

⇒  Total All-Staff Turnover

Members are encouraged to utilize this new resource. It is an effective way to track progress in the staffing stability goal under the AHCA/NCAL Quality Initiative and aligns with one of the four Commitment to Care core principles Create Workforce Stability through reducing staff turnover.

For more information, AHCA/NCAL has developed two help documents: How to Create a Turnover and Retention Data File and How to Upload Turnover and Retention Data. Please also refer to the Frequently Asked Questions document for additional guidance as you utilize the Upload.
