DOVAXIS’s Lumberjack: Helping Long-Term Care Teams Streamline Admissions and Referrals

One early adopter shared that they’re estimating a 4-resident-per-month increase in census driven by Lumberjack. With their average length of stay at 16 days, and factoring in anticipated workflow changes, they’re projecting a potential $10 million annual impact across their 17 sites.

Did You Know Your Team Could Reclaim Hours in Your Referral Process?

For many long-term care and post-acute facilities, the admissions process is a daily bottleneck. Skilled nursing teams spend so much time on each referral toggling between systems, sifting through paperwork, and waiting on decisions. Meanwhile, beds sit empty and referral partners move on to the next facility.

This isn’t a staffing problem—it’s a systems problem. And the cost shows up in lost census, frustrated staff, and strained hospital relationships.

The Hidden Cost of a Slow Intake Process

In transitional care units, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities, the admissions process is often slow and inconsistent. Each intake can take 40–60 minutes or oftentimes more, and every delay has a ripple effect:

  • Lost census opportunities when referral partners don’t wait.

  • Team frustration as staff juggle paperwork instead of focusing on residents.

  • Reduced hospital trust when responses lag.

  • High-risk admissions if key clinical details are missed in the rush.

The truth is simple: when the long-term care intake process slows down, everyone feels it—residents, staff, and families alike.

DOVAXIS’s Lumberjack was designed to clear referral bottlenecks and support clinical decision-making in long-term care facilities. By applying conversational AI to the admissions workflow, Lumberjack accelerates review and surfaces what matters most.
