From Paper to PDF to Platform
Admissions 1.0 was paper-based: clipboards, filing cabinets, manual tracking.
Admissions 2.0 introduced digital documents, replacing paper with PDFs, but the process stayed manual.
Admissions 3.0 transforms the entire workflow through intelligent automation, freeing staff to focus on residents instead of chasing paperwork.
Why Digital Paperwork Is Still Paperwork
Moving from paper to PDF solves only a fraction of the problem.
Digital forms still require manual tracking, hunting for signatures, and coordinating across multiple systems.
Teams stay buried in administrative tasks instead of welcoming residents.
The 3.0 Difference
Admissions 3.0 orchestrates the full workflow from referral to move-in.
It integrates with existing systems, automates compliance tracking, and gives real-time visibility across facilities.
The result: 1-2+ hour manual processes become roughly 10 minute experiences. Facilities recover roughly $300,000 per year through captured referrals, increased productivity, and reduced risk.
Purpose-Built vs All-in-One
Digital form tools and all-in-one platforms weren’t built for the realities of LTC admissions. Purpose-built systems are built for scale. They understand PASRR tracking, arbitration agreement management, multi-facility compliance, real-time visibility, full accountability, and the complex coordination admissions requires.

What We Mean By...
Admissions 3.0
Intelligent workflow automation that orchestrates the complete LTC admissions process from referral acceptance to move-in, integrating with existing systems to eliminate manual tracking while ensuring compliance and providing strategic visibility across operations.
The Core Idea behind Admissions 3.0
Admissions 3.0, powered by Reside, is the third evolution of long-term care admissions. Admissions 1.0 was paper-based; 2.0 moved those papers into digital documents and PDFs. Admissions 3.0 goes further by using intelligent workflow automation to coordinate the entire multi-step process.
The key insight: digitizing paperwork doesn’t fix workflow complexity. Real change comes from a purpose-built platform that automates coordination, ensures compliance, and frees staff from administrative burden.
Facilities using Admissions 3.0 typically cut processing time by 60–80%, recover $300k+ annually in captured referrals and more, and gain complete compliance visibility across multiple locations.
