New York Mandated More Staff. The Shortage Got Worse. Screen More With Less.
New York's staffing ratio mandates require minimum hours of direct care per resident per day — but the staff to deliver those hours do not exist. Every hour spent administering MMSE, MoCA, or PHQ-9 assessments is an hour taken from direct care. GIA® by Scienza Health screens for 46 conditions with zero staff time — giving your team back the hours the mandate demands.

NY Staffing Ratio Mandate
New York requires minimum hours of direct care per resident per day. GIA® screens for 46 conditions with zero staff time, redirecting clinical hours from assessment administration to direct patient care.
DOH Survey Documentation
Every GIA® screening session generates structured medical notes, CPT codes, and session video — a tamper-proof audit trail that DOH surveyors can inspect directly. 14 governance domains.
Medicaid Managed Care
New York's Medicaid complexity demands precise documentation. GIA® assigns CPT codes automatically and prepares the complete clinical package for clinician review and submission. 510(k) registered.
Urban density. Rural gaps. One staffing crisis.
New York operates over 600 skilled nursing facilities across an urban-rural mix that creates wildly different staffing challenges. New York City facilities compete for staff in the most expensive labor market in the country. Upstate facilities cannot find staff at all. Both are expected to meet the same screening and documentation requirements.
GIA® by Scienza Health works the same way in both settings — by video in a Manhattan facility or by landline in a rural upstate home. 46 conditions. Under 5 minutes. Zero staff time. Structured medical notes, CPT codes, and session video prepared for clinician review. See all 46 conditions.
New York questions.
How does AI screening help New York SNFs meet staffing ratio requirements?
New York’s staffing ratio mandates require skilled nursing facilities to provide minimum hours of direct care per resident per day — but the mandate assumes staff exist to deliver them. GIA® by Scienza Health screens for 46 cognitive, behavioral, and neurological conditions with zero staff time, freeing existing clinical staff to focus on direct care rather than administering MMSE, MoCA, or PHQ-9 assessments. Structured medical notes, CPT codes, and session video are prepared for clinician review and submission to the EHR.
Is AI clinical screening compliant with New York healthcare privacy regulations?
New York imposes strict healthcare privacy requirements beyond federal HIPAA standards, including additional protections for mental health records under NY Mental Hygiene Law. GIA® by Scienza Health is HIPAA compliant with AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit, SOC 2 Type II certified, and enforces zero-trust access controls across every screening session. All screening outputs are prepared for clinician review — nothing enters the permanent medical record without human authorization.
How does GIA help New York nursing facilities document care for DOH surveys?
New York Department of Health surveys evaluate whether facilities consistently screen, document, and follow up on resident conditions. Undocumented screening is functionally equivalent to no screening. GIA® by Scienza Health generates structured medical notes, CPT codes, and session video for every screening session — prepared for clinician review and submission to the EHR. Every session produces a tamper-proof audit trail across 14 governance domains. When the DOH surveyor arrives, the documentation is already there.
GIA® by Scienza Health also serves skilled nursing facilities in California, Texas, and Florida.
