How AI can help home health care agencies

🚀 The referral game in home health is changing fast  This Home Health Care News article hit the nail on the head: it’s getting harder to access hospitals, automation is changing how referrals flow, and Medicare Advantage is rewriting the playbook altogether. That’s exactly why we built the Pulse platform to make it easier for providers to stay connected in this new world. Here’s how care teams are using Pulse to tackle these challenges every day: ✅ Speed matters: Automated workflows help teams respond to referrals and start care faster, often within hours, not days. ✅ Stay connected: Real-time communication keeps nurses, case managers, and referral partners on the same page without endless calls and emails. ✅ Prove your value: Built-in performance dashboards show referral sources how quickly you act and how well your patients do, building trust with real data. When every referral counts, Pulse helps you be the partner hospitals and case managers choose to work with.  #HomeHealth #ReferralManagement #MedicareAdvantage #HealthTech #PatientCare  https://lnkd.in/g7dCZ2cW

Home health agencies face a unique window of opportunity as legislation proposes a five-year extension for the Hospital at Home waiver. This development could reshape referral patterns, open doors for new partnerships, and spark strategic growth across our industry. If your agency previously competed with hospital-at-home programs, now is the time to assess your market, evaluate expansion, and position your business for long-term success. Are you ready to navigate the regulatory changes and turn this transition into growth? Share your thoughts or connect with us for a confidential consultation.

What's killing home healthcare? It's not the patients. It's not the pay. It's paperwork. Mike and Anthony are clinical directors at Central Coast Home Health, Inc. They were watching their team burn out - spending 2-3 hours every night documenting care for elderly patients after long days in the field. The home healthcare industry is at a breaking point. As America ages and more seniors choose to stay in their homes, the burden on clinicians has never been higher. More patients. More complexity. More documentation. Something had to change. They brought in AI documentation for their team. The results: → Cutting doc time by at least half (many by even 80-90%)  → More eye contact and engagement during patient visits  → Better work-life balance  → Nurses even sleeping better without the late-night screen time But here's what really mattered to Mike and Anthony... "My clinicians say I can be so much more engaged with the patient instead of having to try and capture that information while I'm trying to pretend to be engaged." More eye contact with patients. Better care. Happier clinicians. This is what good technology should do - get out of the way so clinicians can actually care for patients. Full case study with Mike and Anthony in the comments 👇

True Cost Transparency: The Hidden Key to Fixing Complex Patient Costs Paradoxically, complex patients will get better care when they can feel the true cost of it—both the total cost and each component. Our current system hides these costs so completely that often rational behavior becomes impossible. Imagine a third-party payor system for cars. Everyone eventually needs a car—just as everyone eventually needs health care. In this system, you can’t buy a car directly. You must first see a consultant, who evaluates your needs and decides what kind of car you get—from a simple $20 k subcompact to a complex $300 k van—and how often. Would any rational payor not require a percentage copay that rises with the car’s cost? Would it not demand the highest quality cognitive work from that consultant? Yet our health system does the opposite: it imposes copays and deductibles on the clinician’s cognitive work, and little or no copays for the vastly larger downstream costs. What’s more, payors write threatening letters to fee-for-service clinicians who charge for complex visits more often than a certain low “average”. Health coverage shouldn’t treat costs like an earthquake that’s 100% beyond anyone’s control. Even in complex frailty and chronic illness, many costs can be averted when patients seek early care and when skilled clinicians can keep decompensations contained and prevent the tenuous equilibrium from collapsing. Or when clinicians make regular complex assessments and fine tune management to make the frail patient as well balanced and as resilient as possible. But that requires patients to feel some share of the real cost—and to patronize clinicians who can truly manage complexity. The Straight Percentage Copay model https://lnkd.in/gjeYP4iR in my last post enables that. With AI-enabled tools, patients can be shown—in real time—the clinical and cost consequences of each care path, including the consequences of delay in seeking care. Such transparency will shift behavior faster than any mandate. Soon, this will generate patient demand for Whole Person Longitudinal Complex Care—and pressure on generalist clinicians to deliver the clinical reasoning that makes it work. #WP_LCC #WPCR #PriceTransparency #HealthcareInnovation #HealthPolicy

Without metrics, it’s difficult to run the show — but what truly matters is which metrics we choose. In healthcare, we often chase numbers. But over the years, I’ve realized that not all numbers reflect what truly counts. Do we measure success by the number of patients cured or the number operated on? By the challenging cases we’ve handled or the number of prescriptions we’ve written? By the revenue earned per patient or by the real value we’ve provided to them in return? I remember a patient who was scheduled for an expensive procedure — but after lifestyle changes and close monitoring, he never needed it. Technically, it wasn’t a “case done,” but in reality, it was a life transformed. Another patient once told me, “Doctor, for the first time, I understand my body.” That wasn’t reflected in any KPI — yet it was one of the most meaningful outcomes I’ve ever achieved. Numbers can show productivity, but compassion, education, and empowerment show purpose. Maybe it’s time we redefine our metrics of success — from volume to value, from transactions to trust, from treatment to transformation. #Healthcare #PatientCare #MedicalEthics #ValueBasedCare #HealthcareLeadership #CompassionInMedicine
