Home Care Business Playbook: VGM & Associates just released a new “VGM Playbook: Building a Smarter, Stronger Business” aimed at home-based care providers, pushing operational upgrades, revenue optimization, and tech planning (including AI and automation) to help agencies adapt as payer rules and staffing pressures keep shifting. Medication Safety Push: The DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day wrapped up with 642,410 pounds collected nationwide, including more than 19,000 pounds from 159 drop sites across the Midwest—another reminder that disposal options matter year-round. Nursing Shortage Reality Check: New UI nursing graduates say the shortage is real, with many planning to work out of state even after training and hospital transition programs. Policy Watch: Iowa’s health insurance law changes and ongoing Medicaid-related clinic concerns remain in the mix this week, as lawmakers and providers try to keep access steady.
