Question 1

What is the best procurement software for skilled nursing facilities?

Accepted Answer

The best skilled nursing facility procurement software is purpose-built for long-term care workflows — not adapted from generic enterprise tools. Adelpo is designed specifically for SNFs and assisted living operators, with native PPD budget tracking, PointClickCare and MatrixCare integration, AI-powered invoice automation, and multi-facility oversight. Unlike managed procurement services that assign consultants to run your purchasing, Adelpo gives your internal team real-time control with a modern, self-service platform. 2,500+ organizations use Adelpo to reduce procurement costs by 15–20% annually.

Question 2

How can skilled nursing facilities reduce procurement costs?

Accepted Answer

Skilled nursing facilities reduce procurement costs through four primary levers: enforcing approved vendor contracts to eliminate maverick spending, automating invoice processing to cut per-invoice costs from $9.87 to under $3, capturing early payment discounts before they expire, and using real-time PPD budget tracking to catch overspending before it compounds. Adelpo's SNF procurement platform automates all four. Most facilities achieve 15–20% cost reduction in year one, with positive ROI in 2–4 months.

Question 3

What is PPD budget tracking in long-term care procurement?

Accepted Answer

PPD (Per Patient Day) budget tracking measures how much a facility spends per resident per day, broken down by department — dietary, housekeeping, nursing supplies, and more. In long-term care procurement, PPD tracking is critical because occupancy changes daily: if census drops but spending stays flat, your cost-per-resident spikes and margins erode. Adelpo integrates directly with PointClickCare and MatrixCare to pull live census data, recalculating PPD budgets in real time and alerting department heads before they overspend. This replaces end-of-month spreadsheet reconciliation with proactive, daily visibility.

Question 4

How does AI invoice automation work for healthcare?

Accepted Answer

AI invoice automation for healthcare uses optical character recognition (OCR) and machine learning to extract data from any invoice format — paper, PDF, or email — without manual data entry. Adelpo's SNF invoice automation tool (Adelpo Capture) reads vendor invoices, validates line items against purchase orders and receiving records through 3-way matching, flags discrepancies, and routes approved invoices directly to your accounting system. For long-term care AP automation, this eliminates 80% of manual processing work, reduces errors, catches duplicate invoices, and cuts average processing time from 10–14 days to 3–5 days.

Question 5

What is 3-way matching in accounts payable?

Accepted Answer

3-way matching in accounts payable is the process of verifying that a vendor invoice matches both the original purchase order and the goods receipt before approving payment. The three documents matched are: (1) the PO — what you agreed to buy at what price, (2) the receiving record — confirmation that the goods or services were actually delivered, and (3) the vendor invoice — what the vendor is charging. When all three match, payment is approved automatically. When they don't, the discrepancy is flagged for review. Adelpo automates 3-way matching for healthcare organizations, preventing overpayments, duplicate payments, and fraud.

Question 6

How long does Adelpo implementation take?

Accepted Answer

Adelpo deploys in 3–4 weeks from contract signing to go-live — significantly faster than managed procurement services that require multi-month onboarding. Implementation includes vendor catalog setup, EHR integration (PointClickCare, MatrixCare), approval workflow configuration, accounting system connection, and staff training. Because Adelpo is a self-service platform, your team is fully operational and independent from day one — no ongoing reliance on outside consultants to manage your purchasing.

Question 7

Does Adelpo integrate with PointClickCare and MatrixCare?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Adelpo integrates natively with PointClickCare and MatrixCare, the two leading EHR platforms in long-term care. This integration syncs resident census data in real time, enabling automatic PPD budget recalculations as occupancy changes. It also supports ancillary charge capture, ensuring clinical and procurement data stay aligned without manual reconciliation.

Question 8

Can Adelpo handle multi-facility purchasing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Adelpo is built for multi-facility LTC operators. You can set facility-specific PPD budgets, configure custom approval workflows per location, maintain centralized vendor contracts with local purchasing flexibility, and view consolidated spend reporting across your entire portfolio. Whether you operate 2 facilities or 200, Adelpo scales without adding administrative overhead.
