There are serious ramifications for the continued payment reductions in the Medicare home health regulations, Steven Landers, MD, MPH, CEO of the National Alliance for Care at Home, said. Beyond the lack of access to home health services, the whole payment structure has been decimated, he said. This year, the home health payment program will total just over $15 billion, down from $17.8 billion in 2019. The cuts are making it harder for agencies to have the purchasing power to staff agencies. Another negative development for home care is the passage of the “Big Beautiful” bill, which will place pressure on states to reduce home- and community-based services. The Medicaid work requirements in the law may hurt personal care workers who use Medicaid as their health insurance, he noted. While home care is not the most powerful lobbying contingent in Washington, “sometimes right beats might,” Landers said. Landers' past positions, which included his role as director of home care at the Cleveland Clinic, helped him see the value of home care and how policy making in Washington affected the care regular people receive. As part of his tenure, he would like to see home care providers be able to deploy new care models such as the Medicare Care Choices Model. Landers sees the Alliance being a partner with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to combat rampant hospice fraud.Follow us on social media:X: @McKHomeCareFacebook: McKnight's Home CareLinkedIn: McKnight's Home CareInstagram: mcknights_homecareFollow the National Alliance for Care at Home on social media:X: @TheAllianceHomeFacebook: National Alliance for Care at HomeLinkedIn: National Alliance for Care at HomeInstagram: thealliancehomeShow contributors:McKnight's Home Care Editor Liza Berger; Steven Landers, MD, MPH, CEO, National Alliance for Care at Home

In today's episode, we explore the evolving world of the Internet of Things (IoT), with a focus on its healthcare applications—IoHT (Internet of Health Things) and MIoT (Medical Internet of Things). These technologies are reshaping healthcare, personal safety, and connected care. The MIoT market is projected to grow from $93 billion in 2025 to $134 billion by 2029, while the smart hospital market may reach $148 billion. With 2.2 to 3.3 million connected medical devices already in use globally, the impact on patient monitoring, operational efficiency, and health equity is significant. While macro trends are important, we'll also highlight specific technologies making a difference every day.In past episodes, we've talked about challenges associated with an aging population and in today's episode we'll dial in and look to connect the dots with connected devices that are focused on sending medical alerts. As a quick highlight, 1 in 4 adults over 65 fall each year, which is a significant number considering that falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among adults age 65 and older. The Golden Hour is the critical first 60 minutes following an emergency event, when receiving treatment is believed to offer the greatest chances of survival.Here to talk about all of this and more is Chia-Lin Simmons, CEO of LogicMark. ⁠LogicMark⁠ provides a comprehensive platform of technology products and services that enable the Internet of Things (IoT). It provides technology products and services in healthcare communications and personal safety applications and services.Listen in with us as we discuss best practices for future-ready home health and the importance of inter-connected devices.Other insights range from how AI and ML are helping to transition from more reactive responses to more predictive responses with health-tech, to an introduction for the concept of “care villages” and how “connected data and devices” will start to virtually emulate the historical practices of multi-generational housing, to why game theory is emerging as a strategy in healthcare to balance between the various stakeholders and create winning scenarios as well as the best outcomes for patients.For more details visit TechLink Health ⁠on the web⁠ or connect with Chia-Lin on ⁠LinkedIn⁠.This episode was hosted by ⁠Dr. Sarah Samaan⁠.

After discovering her toxic chemical levels were 88% higher than the average American, DailyMail Deputy Health Editor Alexa Lardieri took a bold step: she joined Ruan Living's pioneering and transformative 40-Day Home Detox program to reduce her everyday exposures to endocrine-disrupting chemicals like BPA, BPS, phthalates, and benzene. In this follow-up to episodes 86–89, Alexa returns to share her before-and-after Million Marker urine test results—and the data is powerful. Her bisphenol levels dropped from 88% to zero, and other chemicals linked to hormone disruption and cancer also fell significantly. You'll learn: The invisible yet measurable impact of toxic exposures in daily life How Alexa's small product swaps led to big biological shifts What Alexa swapped to dramatically lower her bisphenol and benzene levels The role of urine testing for toxins in tracking real detox progress What factors might have temporarily elevated her phthalate levels again How travel, beauty products, and furniture can reintroduce exposures Smart strategies for choosing non-toxic furniture and textiles Whether you're seeking hormone balance, fertility support, or cancer recovery, this episode reveals how detoxing your home can radically lower your toxic burden—in just 40 days.

We're getting bad news from what seems like every direction these days. Governments and media are all talking about wars and destruction. But this is not new.  We've been through these kinds of events before, too many times, and we're still here and moving forward. We can't let panic, wars and market crashes control our choices.  These thnigs happen without our input. We can control our clarity, courage and conviction to stay on course. If you've been considering planning for future extended care needs, or if you've been working on your plan, don't stop now.  Too many find a reason to pause and then forget their reasons for planning in the first place.  Then, 10 or 20 years go by, and something happens to them or someone close to them, and they restart their search. At that point, plans are much more expensive or not available due to age or health concerns. Let's work together to design your plan today and protect those you love most tomorrow. Schedule

The Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP) model seeks to achieve four key objectives. 1) Improve the quality and efficiency of home health care 2) Improve the patient's experience with care 3) Strengthen the patient's physical function 4) Address the patient's health issues before they require an ED visit. In 2025, CMS is launching an expanded Home Health Value-Based program to better compare provider quality and streamline the reporting process.

Case management represents the invisible thread that weaves together all aspects of patient care in home health and hospice settings—yet many clinicians receive minimal training in this critical skill. The conversation between Jennifer Kennedy and Kim Skehan dives deep into what effective case management looks like and why it matters so profoundly for both patient outcomes and regulatory compliance. As Kim notes, "Case management is a next level skill" that requires dedicated training and support beyond what most clinicians receive in their professional education. Organizations must invest in developing these capabilities, recognizing that quality case management takes months—not days—to cultivate.Beyond simply making visits, case management involves comprehensive assessment, holistic care planning, and coordination across disciplines to address all patient needs. When done well, it improves patient outcomes, prevents complications, and creates seamless care transitions. When it falters, the consequences can be severe, with many survey findings at the condition level or immediate jeopardy stemming directly from coordination failures. This reality highlights the intersection where compliance meets quality—where doing right by patients simultaneously protects organizations from regulatory challenges.With increasing patient acuity in home-based care, case management has become more complex and demanding. Today's case managers must effectively coordinate multidisciplinary teams, manage high-complexity patients, and ensure comprehensive documentation of all care activities. While technology and AI provide increasingly valuable support tools, the human elements of assessment, coordination, and communication remain irreplaceable. The most successful organizations combine robust training programs with clear processes and adequate time allowances for this vital function.Ready to strengthen your organization's case management practices?

What happens when life forces you to confront deep-seated negativity? My wife joins me to share her transformative journey in this powerful episode that examines how removing toxicity creates space for unexpected blessings.After losing her mother to suicide, my wife began evaluating every aspect of her life—relationships, possessions, and most significantly, her increasingly toxic workplace. Despite creating her referral department position from scratch and investing five years with the company, she found herself consistently overworked and underappreciated. The final straw came when management approached her the day after her mother's death, offering a nominal raise while simultaneously eliminating her title.Today, she reveals how this painful chapter led to an exciting new opportunity with Maine Health's Home Health and Hospice Services—a position that perfectly aligns with her strengths while offering the work-from-home flexibility her previous employer had promised but never delivered. Her story powerfully demonstrates how removing negativity creates space for positive change.We don't just discuss her experience—we provide actionable steps to help you eliminate negativity from your own life. From becoming aware of negative thought patterns to challenging them through reframing, practicing gratitude, surrounding yourself with positive people, and engaging in activities that bring joy, we offer a comprehensive roadmap for transformation.The first half of the show also features exciting updates about our Loud Proud American brand, including our new No-Tariff Guarantee that allows us to lower prices while maintaining our commitment to American manufacturing.

XX Insulet Corporation announces the full market release of the Omnipod 5 App for iPhone® in the U.S. App allows users to fully control their Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System (Omnipod 5) from their compatible iPhone1. For example, users can bolus for a meal, change a Pod, and adjust settings. Importantly, this also means that Omnipod 5 users who have a compatible iPhone no longer need to carry a separate Controller to help manage their insulin delivery requirements. Insulet says that the App for iPhone has been the number one feature requested by Omnipod 5 users. The Omnipod 5 App for iPhone is currently compatible with the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System and is expected to be compatible with the Dexcom G7 CGM in the U.S. in 2025. The Omnipod 5 App for Android phones is also available to U.S. customers. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241029838744/en/Omnipod%C2%AE-5-App-for-iPhone%C2%AE-Now-Fully-Available-in-the-United-States   XX Th FDA says it's okay to keep on your FreeStyle Libre 2 and 3 for procedures like X-rays, CT scans and MRIs. Abbott said it makes its systems the first and only patient-applied CGM sensors approved for these screenings. Imaging procedures often come as part of diabetes care, Abbott said, especially as diabetes can cause a number of medical complications. The company rigorously tested its Libre 2 and 3 sensors to ensure they remain effective after radiologic procedures. This FDA clearance comes with no changes made to the sensor.   https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/fda-approves-abbott-cgms-medical-imaging/ XX Tidepool announced a new data integration with Abbott for the company's FreeStyle Libre continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). The companies aim to deliver cloud-to-cloud integration for an automatic stream of data from patients using Abbott's CGMs in the U.S. Data streams to Tidepool+, a diabetes data visualization and population health platform. Tidepool+ provides intuitive tracking and visualization of diabetes data to make the data informative and actionable for clinicians, people with diabetes and caregivers. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/tidepool-abbott-data-integration-freestyle-libre/ XX Beta Bionics announced today that it launched the integration of the iLet bionic pancreas with the Abbott (NYSE:ABT) FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus. The companies announced their plan to combine the FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus continuous glucose monitor (CGM) with iLet last month. According to Beta Bionics, this makes iLet the first available automated insulin delivery (AID) system to integrate with Libre 3 Plus in the U.S. iLet users can now update their app and software to gain a choice of integrated CGMs. They can choose between Libre 3 Plus and Dexcom CGMs.   Abbott, meanwhile, continues to push forward on the automated insulin delivery integration front. The company recently paired its FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus with Insulet's Omnipod 5 in Europe. It also announced compatibility with the Tandem Diabetes Care t:slim X2 system in January.   Notably, the company also struck a deal with Medtronic in August. They aim to develop CGMs specifically for the medtech giant's own insulin delivery systems. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/beta-bionics-launches-ilet-abbott-libre/ XX Dexcom is asking the FDA to approve the G7 CGM for 15 days. Right now the G7 has a 10 day wear time.  Dexcom also launched the G7 CGM in Australia and rolled out Dexcom ONE+ in France. Some front-office news.. EVP and CCO Teri Lawver plans to retire at the end of the year. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/dexcom-submits-15-day-cgm-fda-q3-2024/ XX Stelo by Dexcom is one of TIME's Best Inventions of 2024!

We're honored to be recognized among other unique innovations in the Home Health category that support people's health. https://time.com/7094684/dexcom-stelo/   XX   Luna Diabetes is moving forward with a pivotal trial evaluating its automated closed-loop insulin technology, the Luna System. This is designed to address nighttime glucose control for insulin pen users. It's meant for use only during sleep - Luna system was developed as a wearable insulin pump and alternative to insulin pen to automate the insulin delivery process. The device works with continuous glucose monitors (CGM) to calculate and deliver rapid-acting insulin doses during sleep. Luna Diabetes expects the study to be completed early next year, with plans to commercially launch the device “soon after”.   https://finance.yahoo.com/news/luna-diabetes-trials-automated-wearable-115211566.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAJIrWwjdye-ehrLNDt-LIGb5qTXaKDTIa8NWwiT7fKwFFgjDMN2nnINis6YfFePWP2ZA2DVYWXEIZQqRlQ4aKLFrYWgvw1jdI-t1n9kO6NIzdBCMXQNNCVl_S-75lDNip2SysHDJQmyqSc4wLjfDya3v9wwTWU-KgE_OqrPCTnlu XX Researchers are urging  caution when prescribing off-label glucose-lowering drugs to individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) while acknowledging that doctors keep prescribing them because they seem to work so well. Both glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have shown significant benefits for cardiovascular and renal health in other populations, particularly in patients with type 2 diabetes.   SGLT2 inhibitors carry a significant risk of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis, a dangerous condition most common in T1D individuals where toxic levels of blood acidification can occur. Due to this risk, SGLT2 inhibitors were removed for T1D use in Europe, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved them for T1D.   For GLP-1RAs, there are concerns about substantial weight loss potentially leading to ketoacidosis or worsening hypoglycemia. While these medications can be beneficial in managing weight, the extent of that weight loss can create new problems in people with T1D as their insulin needs may quickly change as a result. Prescribing in People With Type 1 Diabetes," published in JAMA, the authors stress the critical need for more research to confidently allow the off-label usage of potentially dangerous secondary treatments. The data suggests clinicians are turning to these treatments to manage cardiovascular and renal complications in T1D patients, even though the drugs are not explicitly approved for this condition.   Conversely, those newly prescribed GLP-1RAs had higher rates of obesity (69.4% vs. 45.7%). This data indicates that clinicians are prescribing GLP-1RAs to help manage obesity in T1D patients, as weight management is a critical component of diabetes care.   The percentage of the T1D population prescribed GLP-1RAs increased significantly, from 0.3% in 2010 to 6.6% by 2023. The percentage prescribed SGLT2 inhibitors rose from 0.1% in 2013 to 2.4% by 2023. Overall, the percentage of T1D patients prescribed either of these medications increased from 0.7% to 8.3% during this period.     Results of the study suggest that despite regulatory concerns, off-label use of GLP-1RAs and SGLT2 inhibitors in T1D continues to grow primarily due to their cardiorenal and weight management benefits.   "Prospective studies on the efficacy and safety of GLP-1RAs or SGLT2 inhibitors in the T1D population are needed," the Research Letter concludes, "Before such evidence becomes available, caution should be exercised when prescribing these treatments to individuals with T1D."   https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-10-glucose-lowering-drugs-diabetes-patients.html XX More good islet transplant news.. from Eledon Pharmaceuticals and University of Chicago. These are potentially the first human cases of insulin independence achieved using a transplant of insulin-producing islet cells in combination with its experimental immunosuppressant drug. The first two subjects achieved insulin independence and normal hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) levels, a measure of average blood glucose, post-transplant. The third subject, who recently received an islet transplant, decreased insulin use by more than 60% three days following the procedure and continues on an insulin independence trajectory. Some of the funding for this study comes from Breakthrough T1D. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/10/29/2970713/0/en/Eledon-Pharmaceuticals-Announces-Positive-Initial-Data-from-Subjects-with-Type-1-Diabetes-Treated-with-Tegoprubart-as-Part-of-an-Immunosuppression-Regimen-Following-Islet-Transplan.html XX   Semaglutide may reduce Alzheimer's risk in type 2 diabetes patients, with research suggesting significant protective benefits compared to other diabetes drugs. published in Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association, the study suggests that T2D patients taking semaglutide had a significantly lower risk of developing Alzheimer's. This effect was observed consistently across various subgroups, including differences in obesity status, gender, and age. Semaglutide, which acts on glucagon-like peptide receptors (GLP-1R) to curb hunger and regulate blood sugar in T2D, is also the active component in the diabetes and weight-loss drugs Wegovy and Ozempic. About 120,000 Americans die from Alzheimer's disease each year, with the disease listed as the seventh-leading cause of death nationally, according to the CDC. https://scitechdaily.com/alzheimers-breakthrough-popular-diabetes-drug-ozempic-linked-to-much-lower-risk/ XX   XX Edgepark commercial XX Apple's non invasive blood glucose monitoring rumors are back. But this sounds like just software.. no watch or hardware. According to the report, Apple doesn't currently have plans to release the app, but may integrate the technology into its future health products. The app could reportedly show consumers how certain foods impact their blood sugar levels, based on measurements taken by existing blood sugar monitoring devices. One report says apple is exploring uses for blood sugar data and what tools they could create for consumers as a result. Latterly, he reports testing on the app has been paused, but says the tests could pave the way for better food tracking on Apple's own health software or better third-party glucose tracking integration. https://www.techradar.com/health-fitness/apple-is-testing-a-new-blood-sugar-product-but-its-not-the-apple-watch-update-weve-been-waiting-for XX And finally, it's diabetes awareness month. Please follow on social – I'll be doing a few things but mostly I think this month is great to educate the general public.. every month is diabetes month for this community. XX Join us again soon!
