Real Time Medical Systems (Real Time), the industry-leading, KLAS Rated, HITRUST r2 Certified, and SOC 2 Compliant post-acute care analytics solution, announced today its participation in the AHCA/NCAL Convention & Expo, Delivering Solutions 26, taking place October 11–14, 2026, in Boston, MA. Bringing together long-term and post-acute care leaders for the industry’s premier annual event focused on education, collaboration, and innovation, Real Time and North Shore Health will examine how AI-enabled data analytics can help providers detect emerging risks earlier, reduce avoidable rehospitalizations, and improve value-based performance across key quality measures.

Contributing to the event’s educational agenda, Kathy Derleth, RN, BSN, Customer Success Manager at Real Time, will present alongside Tina Belongia, RN, BSN, Chief Clinical Officer at North Shore Health, during the session, Readmission Risk & Enhanced Quality: SNF’s Strategic Role, on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, from 10:00am–11:00am ET. The session will explore the connection between hospital readmissions, CMS’s SNF Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) program, and the Five-Star Quality Rating System, while highlighting operational strategies to identify high-risk residents, prioritize clinical interventions, and improve quality outcomes without increasing administrative burden.

“Skilled nursing organizations are being asked to navigate increasing clinical complexity while simultaneously demonstrating quality, efficiency, and value,” said Kathy Derleth. “The challenge is no longer access to data; it’s turning clinical information into timely action. Organizations that can operationalize clinical intelligence are better positioned to prioritize resources, support care teams, and address issues before they affect performance.”

Belongia underscored the importance of operational discipline in managing quality at scale:

“Sustainable quality improvement doesn’t happen because of a single initiative or program. It requires clear priorities, consistent execution, and a shared commitment to acting before issues escalate,” said Tina Belongia. “Creating consistency across multiple facilities isn’t easy, but it’s what enables organizations to move from reactive problem-solving to proactive quality management. When clinical teams are working from the same priorities and processes, providers are better positioned to reduce variation, improve care delivery, and sustain meaningful performance gains over time.”

Attendees are also encouraged to visit Booth #535 to learn how Real Time helps skilled nursing providers turn their live EHR data and documentation into actionable clinical and operational insights that reduce rehospitalizations, optimize reimbursement, strengthen care coordination, and achieve value-based outcomes. We look forward to seeing you there!
