Data is often the driving force behind home care providers demonstrating their value and improving clinical outcomes and land transactions. However, providers may encounter data availability gaps. This is when critical patient or operational information cannot be collected, accessed or analyzed. Identifying and solving these gaps in data availability, which some home care companies call the data desert, can lead to cost savings, increased patient satisfaction, and improved outcomes. In the case of New Day Healthcare, the data that requires resolution is a lack of information available after the patient is discharged from hospital. “The concept is that we are…

The situation is leading up to the launch of the 2025 legislative session as Colorado's healthcare sector nervously monitors the federal budgeting process to see what levels of change will be brought to local providers. However, a review of the 120-day session on a wide range of healthcare players found that despite important discussions, the session ended with almost major changes.

Please enter Caris Life Sciences Inc. (CAI). Tyler Crowe, editor of MISFIT Alpha, says the diagnostic and testing company has developed several groundbreaking testing regimes for precision medicine. Whenever I read a medical company's SEC filing with a new detection or diagnosis, my internal monologue says, “Maybe it's another Theranos.” It's not fair to these companies, but reflexively reads healthcare companies' reports from their defensive positions than other industries. Something pops…

Medicaid cuts looms as provider tax debate heats up in Congress As Congress moved to complete one big, beautiful bill law to wipe out, the heated debate over Medicaid fundraising centered on. The proposed cuts in provider taxes are at the heart of disputes that include state-imposed taxation on healthcare providers that serve as a key funding mechanism for Medicaid programs across the country. The House Pass version of the bill includes a $89 billion cut in Medicaid funds driven by a suspension of new provider taxes.
