"Too many organizations aim for the modest goal of breaking even, after years of learning to equate that with 'success.' At Mirah, we believe that’s the wrong benchmark." This week, Patrick Luizzo dives into the “just break-even” mindset that has long constrained behavioral health organizations and explains how the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) can drive better care and stronger financial outcomes.

Because trust isn’t about fancy tech or quick fixes. It’s about the quality of the time we spend. Whether it’s a hospital, a pharmacy, or remote care, trust is built in those quiet moments. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚’𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜: 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙘 𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚. Yes, measurable. And it matters far beyond hospitals.

Because when people feel heard, understood, and valued, they’re more likely to stick with your care plan. They follow through. They stay engaged. They tell others.

It unlocks trust capital — that quiet, intangible currency that fuels collaboration, innovation, and real patient commitment. So, what if you traded a little speed this week? Where could you pause just a second longer? Where could you turn a quick check-in into a moment of genuine connection? Because I promise — the best results come not from rushing through care, but from making time to really be there. And that, my friends, is how you turn compliance into confidence.

Every day, 10,000 people in the U.S. turn 65. Home health care agencies are carrying the weight of a growing demand and AI can help lighten that load. Home health care is one of the most meaningful industries there is. The people in it lead with compassion. They show up every day to serve others and make a difference in their communities. That’s why I want to work alongside them. I help home health care agencies use AI to simplify their operations, save time, and focus more on patient care. Here are five ways AI automation can help: 1. Scheduling and reminders, automatically manage visits, follow-ups, and staff availability. 2. Patient intake and documentation, collect and organize forms without extra admin time. 3. Care plan tracking, monitor updates, medication changes, and team communication in one place. 4. Billing and reporting, reduce manual errors and speed up payments. 5. Marketing and outreach, create consistent newsletters and social posts that build trust with families. My goal is simple: to support the people who care for others. If you run or work with a home health care agency and want to learn how AI can help your team work smarter, I’d love to connect. You’re doing important work, and I’m here to help you do more of it with less stress. Nicole Jolie

Chronic care management, remote patient monitoring, behavioral health integration, these aren’t just billing codes, they’re opportunities to keep patients healthier, longer. At HLTH USA 2025 Ed Gaudet, CEO & Founder of Censinet and Host of The Risk Never Sleeps Podcast talks with Dan Godla, Founder & CEO at ThoroughCare discuss Dan's clear focus on chronic care management between visits, something that still trips up a lot of providers, especially those dealing with Medicare patients.

ECM vs. CCBHC — what busy clinic teams actually need to know Both aim at whole-person care and less fragmentation, but they’re different: What they are ECM (Enhanced Care Management): a benefit focused on organizing care across medical, behavioral, and social services for high-complexity members. CCBHC (Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic): a clinic model delivering comprehensive mental health/SUD services with same-day access, coordination, and quality reporting. Who they serve ECM: people with multiple chronic conditions, homelessness, SMI, justice-involved, etc. CCBHC: anyone needing timely behavioral health care, including crisis. What success looks like ECM: fewer avoidable ED visits, completed care plans, warm handoffs, referral follow-through. CCBHC: faster access, evidence-based care, crisis stabilization, improved PHQ-9/AUDIT-C, coordinated transitions. Data you actually need (keep it small & reliable): ECM: panel & eligibility flags • assigned care manager • care plan dates/goals • referrals (sent/scheduled/completed) • touchpoints with timestamps • 7-day TOC after ED/IP. CCBHC: time to first contact/visit • screening scores (PHQ-9, GAD-7, SBIRT) • EBPs delivered (Y/N, date) • crisis encounters & resolution • coordination events • outcomes over time. Common pitfalls → quick fixes Free-text hides actions → add quick-click structured outreach fields. Referrals live in spreadsheets → move to EHR orders or a simple in-EHR tracker. Screenings done but not scored/trended → store discrete scores and graph them. No owner for data quality → assign a program “data steward” and do a 15-minute weekly check. At Symmetric Solutions, we make small, durable data improvements—cleaner fields, simpler workflows, and one-page dashboards teams actually use.
