Incite Workforce Solutions powered by SnapCare Named Finalist in Three 2026 McKnight’s Excellence in Technology Awards
Recognized for innovation, simplicity, and measurable workforce impact in senior care.
Atlanta, GA – Incite Workforce Solutions powered by SnapCare (IWS), has been named a finalist in three categories for the 2026 McKnight’s Excellence in Technology Awards, recognizing the company’s continued innovation in workforce management for senior care providers. IWS was selected as a finalist in the following categories:
Innovator of the Year
Keep It Super Simple (KISS)
Staff Scheduling and Management
Presented annually by McKnight’s Long-Term Care News, the McKnight’s Excellence in Technology Awards celebrates the technology and provider partnerships that are advancing the future of senior care. The awards recognize innovations that deliver measurable improvements in care quality, workforce management, operations and resident outcomes, making them one of the most prestigious technology honors.
The recognition reflects IWS’s commitment to helping senior care providers modernize workforce management through technology & processes that are functional, impactful, scalable, and purpose-built for long-term care.
Most importantly, these nominations would not have been possible without the partnership of Marquis Companies. Their forward-thinking leadership and willingness to challenge traditional workforce models demonstrate what’s possible when visionary providers, innovative technology, and disciplined operational execution come together to solve some of senior care’s most complex workforce challenges. We are honored to celebrate this recognition alongside Marquis and grateful for their partnership in helping shape the future of workforce management in senior care.
Three Categories. One Mission.
While each nomination recognizes a different aspect of workforce technology, together they reflect IWS’s broader vision: helping providers move from reactive staffing to intelligent workforce management.
Innovator of the Year
This category recognizes technological innovation that improves the delivery of care, services, and organizational performance.
IWS was recognized for introducing a new approach to workforce management that combines predictive workforce intelligence, centralized workforce coordination, operational expertise, and technology into a single workforce operating model. Rather than functioning as another staffing vendor, IWS helps providers proactively anticipate staffing needs, coordinate internal and external labor resources, improve workforce visibility, and make more informed operational decisions across multiple facilities.
Keep It Super Simple (KISS)
The KISS category honors technology that delivers meaningful results through simplicity. Senior care teams already operate in fast-paced, high-pressure environments. IWS simplifies workforce management by bringing scheduling, contingent labor oversight, credential tracking, workforce analytics, and communication into one centralized platform. Instead of managing multiple systems and disconnected workflows, providers gain a single, intuitive solution that reduces administrative burden and helps teams spend more time focused on residents.
Staff Scheduling and Management
This category recognizes solutions that optimize staff scheduling, improve communication, and strengthen workforce management.
Built specifically for senior care, IWS helps providers coordinate workforce resources more effectively through predictive scheduling tools, real-time staffing visibility, mobile workforce communication, open shift management, and centralized workforce analytics. By giving leadership greater visibility into staffing activity and enabling faster, more informed decisions, IWS helps organizations improve workforce stability while reducing operational complexity.
This nomination is especially meaningful, as IWS received the McKnight’s Excellence in Technology Award in Staff Scheduling and Management in 2025. Returning as a finalist underscores the continued evolution of the platform and the measurable impact it continues to deliver alongside provider partners like Marquis.
Looking Ahead
The winners of the 2026 McKnight’s Excellence in Technology Awards will be announced during the virtual awards ceremony on September 16, 2026.
Regardless of the outcome, these nominations reinforce a belief that continues to guide IWS: the future of senior care depends on empowering providers with workforce technology and processes that simplify operations, strengthen staffing stability, and support exceptional resident care.
