Creative Solutions in Healthcare Promotes Chelsea Jordan to Vice President of Data Integration and Payroll, Advancing Industry Leadership in Technology and Analytics
"Creative Solutions in Healthcare has never been content to follow industry standards- we're here to raise them." Gary Blake, CEO Creative Solutions in Healthcare
The move comes as long-term care providers across the country face increasing pressure to improve outcomes, reduce administrative burdens, and retain skilled staff. Creative Solutions is positioning itself at the forefront by investing in data systems that empower its 160 facilities and growing to act faster, work smarter, and deliver better care.
'Creative Solutions in Healthcare has never been content to follow industry standards—we're here to raise them. Chelsea's new role is part of our ongoing investment in doing things differently, and doing them better, for the future of long-term care,' said Gary Blake, President and CEO of Creative Solutions in Healthcare.
Jordan, who has more than 15 years of industry experience, brings a track record of success in integrating complex systems and building streamlined processes that scale. Her new role will focus on aligning payroll operations with company-wide data strategy, using automation, analytics, and cross-functional collaboration to improve accuracy, efficiency, and transparency.
Creative Solutions is often identified as an early adopter of technology tools, including predictive analytics for staffing, integrated scheduling software, COVR, and real-time financial dashboards for facility leadership through DataIQ. This announcement comes on the heels of the joint release between Creative Solutions in Healthcare and CoreCare sharing the news of their Launch Pre-Admit, the First AI-Powered Solution to Evaluate SNF Referrals in Under a Minute. These initiatives have earned the company a reputation for forward-thinking solutions in the industry.
'We've always believed that smart use of data is one of the best tools we have to improve lives, both for the people we care for and for the teams who provide the care. We're confident that Chelsea, along with our technology and vendor partners, will help us continue to lead this charge,' continued Blake.
The dual focus on resident outcomes and employee efficiency is an indicator of the company's strategic approach. While Jordan's responsibilities include traditional payroll oversight, her role also supports efforts to reduce friction for frontline staff. From streamlining pay practices, to developing tools that allow care teams to spend less time on paperwork and more time with residents.
Jordan's promotion reflects a broader trend in the post-acute care space: as reimbursement models evolve and quality metrics become increasingly transparent, organizations are under pressure to make data central to decision-making. With this move, Creative Solutions continues to define what modern leadership looks like in senior care.
As the long-term care industry braces for continued regulatory and demographic shifts, companies like Creative Solutions in Healthcare are setting the pace—not just by delivering quality care, but by building the infrastructure needed to sustain it.

Air Canada-CUPE Negotiations End in Impasse
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Negotiations between CUPE and Air Canada have ended in impasse. Air Canada still refuses to compensate flight attendants for all hours worked. The union has been firm: all safety-related duties should be paid at full hourly rate. Air Canada does not agree. On wages, Air Canada's last offer will still leave flight attendants living below poverty levels for many years to come. We are heartbroken for our passengers. We do not want to go on strike, and we do not want to be locked out, but it is clear that Air Canada has no incentive to bargain. Rather, Air Canada has refused to bargain in good faith due to the likelihood of the federal government using Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to interfere in negotiations and have a contract imposed by an outside third-party arbitrator.
