Kevin Brice, Data Scientist at Ensign, and Jessica German, VP of Human Resources, analyzed key performance metrics over three months to compare Ensign facilities using Covr to those that weren’t.

Analysis

Facilities leveraging Covr achieved significant cost savings across key areas:

  • Employee turnover: A 3% reduction led to annual savings of $30,600.
  • Overtime wages: A 1% decline saved $2,400 per year.
  • Nursing wages: Slower growth in costs compared to non-Covr facilities saved $57,000 annually.

With a total potential savings of $90,000 per year, the report concluded, “We see few downsides and a huge upside to recommending Covr to struggling facilities.”
