Real Time Medical Systems to Showcase Live Data Solutions for Clinical Standards and Survey Readiness at PALTC26
Real Time Medical Systems (Real Time), a recognized leader in post-acute care analytics and a KLAS-rated, HITRUST-certified organization, has announced its participation in an additional educational session at PALTC26, the annual conference hosted by the Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medical Association (PALTmed). The event is being held from March 26–28, 2026, in Anaheim, California, bringing together healthcare professionals, clinical leaders, and industry experts focused on advancing care delivery in post-acute and long-term care settings.
As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, nursing facilities and post-acute care providers are facing mounting challenges. Increasing regulatory scrutiny, persistent workforce shortages, and rising clinical complexity are placing significant pressure on organizations to maintain high standards of care. Leaders across clinical and operational roles are being tasked with ensuring consistent quality outcomes while also improving communication, collaboration, and compliance across multidisciplinary teams. In this context, the use of real-time data has emerged as a powerful tool to support more informed decision-making and proactive care management.
During PALTC26, Real Time Medical Systems will highlight how live data can be effectively leveraged to support clinical excellence and operational efficiency. As part of the conference agenda, Kathy Derleth, RN, BSN, Customer Success Manager at Real Time, will lead an educational session titled “Leverage Live Data to Maintain a Culture of Care, Communication, and Compliance.” The session is scheduled to take place on Friday, March 27, 2026, from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. PT.
This session will focus on practical, real-world strategies for integrating live clinical and operational data into the daily workflows of skilled nursing facility teams. By emphasizing actionable insights, the presentation aims to demonstrate how data can move beyond retrospective reporting and become an active, day-to-day resource that supports care teams in real time. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how increased visibility into patient care processes can strengthen communication across departments, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and enhance adherence to clinical standards.
One of the key themes of the session is the role of data transparency in improving communication within healthcare organizations. In many nursing facilities, care delivery involves multiple disciplines—including nursing staff, physicians, therapists, and administrative personnel—each playing a critical role in patient outcomes. However, communication gaps can often arise due to siloed information systems or delays in accessing relevant data. By utilizing real-time analytics, organizations can ensure that all team members have access to the same up-to-date information, enabling more coordinated and effective care planning.
In addition to improving communication, the session will explore how live data supports stronger interdisciplinary collaboration. When care teams are equipped with timely insights, they are better positioned to identify trends, respond to changes in patient conditions, and align their efforts toward shared goals. For example, early identification of clinical risks—such as changes in vital signs, medication adherence issues, or emerging complications—can prompt timely interventions that improve patient outcomes and reduce the likelihood of adverse events. This proactive approach not only enhances quality of care but also contributes to a more cohesive and collaborative work environment.
Another critical aspect of the discussion will be the impact of real-time data on regulatory compliance and survey readiness. Nursing facilities operate in a highly regulated environment, where maintaining compliance with federal and state standards is essential. Surveys and audits can occur with little notice, and organizations must be prepared to demonstrate consistent adherence to care protocols and documentation requirements. By integrating live data into daily operations, facilities can continuously monitor performance metrics, identify potential compliance gaps, and address issues before they escalate. This ongoing state of readiness reduces the stress associated with survey preparation and helps ensure that organizations are always operating at a high standard.
Importantly, the session will also address the need to balance technological innovation with the realities of workforce constraints. Many healthcare providers are already experiencing staff shortages and increased workloads, making it essential that new tools and processes do not add unnecessary burden. Real Time Medical Systems emphasizes solutions that streamline workflows and reduce manual tasks, allowing staff to focus more on patient care. By automating data collection and analysis, real-time analytics can provide valuable insights without requiring additional administrative effort from frontline teams.
Kathy Derleth underscored the importance of fostering a culture of care that is grounded in shared visibility and consistent communication. According to her, when care teams have access to timely and actionable information, they are better equipped to collaborate effectively and uphold organizational standards. Real-time data becomes more than just a reporting tool—it becomes an integral part of daily operations, helping teams stay aligned and focused on delivering high-quality, patient-centered care.
Attendees of PALTC26 are encouraged to participate in this session to gain practical insights that can be applied immediately within their own organizations. The strategies and examples presented will be particularly valuable for clinical leaders, administrators, and quality improvement professionals seeking to enhance communication, strengthen interdisciplinary coordination, and maintain compliance in an increasingly complex healthcare environment.
Ultimately, Real Time Medical Systems’ participation in PALTC26 reflects a broader commitment to advancing the use of data-driven solutions in post-acute care. By demonstrating how live data can support clinical standards and survey readiness, the organization aims to empower healthcare providers with the tools and knowledge needed to navigate current challenges and deliver better outcomes for residents.
As the conference brings together thought leaders and practitioners from across the industry, sessions like this play a crucial role in sharing best practices and driving innovation. With the growing importance of real-time insights in healthcare, the ability to harness data effectively will continue to be a key differentiator for organizations striving to achieve excellence in care delivery.
PALTC26 attendees will have the opportunity to explore these concepts in depth during the session and engage with experts who are actively shaping the future of post-acute care analytics. Real Time Medical Systems looks forward to contributing to these important discussions and helping organizations build stronger, more resilient care environments through the power of live data.
