Home Instead Senior Care and NLN Foundation Join Forces to Promote Geriatric Education


Home Instead Senior Care and the National League for Nursing Foundation for Nursing Education (NLNFNE) are partnering once again to support geriatric education through a $10,000 scholarship fund for nursing students. The fund will address the growing need for enhanced geriatric education in nursing programs across the nation. At least six scholarships will be awarded to help prepare the ever-growing workforce of nurses with competencies to deliver the best care for aging adults.

As recent events have further showcased, the nation’s nurses are an integral part of our healthcare system’s ability to provide high-quality care to all, especially vulnerable populations. This unmatched dedication both in times of crisis and the routine day-to-day, will be key to meeting the unique needs of older adults in the coming years.

While the world’s population of adults age 65 and older is expected to continue growing at a rapid pace, there is an understanding within the healthcare industry that these seniors will have a significant impact on the system’s core business, especially regarding long-term care. Therefore, it’s in the best interest of older patients, the healthcare system and taxpayers to ensure nurses are well-prepared to care for the aging population.

“Older adults rely the most on the U.S. health care system and their needs are often complex. Through the continued partnership of the NLN Foundation for Nursing Education with Home Instead, we have helped over a dozen nursing students fulfill their academic goals and become emerging leaders in geriatrics,” said NLN Foundation Chair, Dr. Cole Edmonson DNP, RN, NEA-BC, FACHE, FAONL, FNAP, FAAN. “As the voice for all levels of nursing education, the NLN Foundation and the National League for Nursing are proud to help nursing programs to graduate competent nurses to serve at the front lines of public health.”

“Everything we do at Home Instead is driven by our mission to enhance the lives of aging adults and their families,” said Jeff Huber, CEO of Home Instead. “Through our work with the NLN Foundation, we have a real opportunity to build a strong and diverse nursing workforce dedicated to providing the best quality care for older adults.”

The NLN Foundation for Nursing Education scholarship application period opened February 25 and will close May 18. Applicants will be notified by the end of July and awardees will be recognized at the NLN Summit in Orlando on Sept. 24, 2020. For more information, candidates can visit the NLN Foundation website.

HealthSherpa processes over 10,000 Medicaid applications through their mobile-friendly application


Leading health technology company HealthSherpa announced today that they have processed more than 10,000 Medicaid applications since launching their nationwide mobile-friendly Medicaid and CHIP application in November. HealthSherpa has seen a staggering increase in Medicaid applications with March applications up 87% over February applications and April applications 65% higher than March, making April applications more than 200% higher than pre-COVID-19 levels.

Medicaid and CHIP are comprehensive low- or no-cost health coverage programs for qualifying low-income Americans, administered and funded jointly by individual states and the federal government.

“Medicaid applications on HealthSherpa.com have skyrocketed since COVID-19 has sparked high unemployment and underemployment and has caused more people to be eligible for Medicaid coverage. We’re processing three times the monthly applications now than what we were processing before the pandemic began,” said George Kalogeropoulos, CEO of HealthSherpa.

Nearly 1 in 4 Americans, over 70 million in total, qualify for Medicaid or CHIP, but as of 2016 more than 8 million Americans who are eligible for these programs remained uninsured. This is partly due to technological hurdles that limit access for eligible Americans. Even though 1 in 3 low-income Americans rely on smartphones for internet access, 7 states do not support applications via a mobile device, and 24 additional states host an application that is not mobile-friendly.

HealthSherpa.com provides a fully compliant, mobile-friendly application experience. After applying, consumers receive an initial assessment of their eligibility for Medicaid and CHIP via HealthSherpa’s backend integration with the Federal Marketplace, and the application is forwarded to the state Medicaid office for the final eligibility decision. Consumers gain access to a free HealthSherpa dashboard to help them manage their health coverage. This dashboard contains their eligibility notice, information about how to follow up with their state Medicaid office, and resources for finding low or no-cost care while their application is being reviewed. Plus, if their income eventually increases, they can seamlessly update their application and transition into Marketplace coverage with government subsidies.

“HealthSherpa is working with tens of thousands of insurance brokers, large employers, and nonprofits to help the growing number of uninsured Americans get comprehensive health insurance coverage,” Kalogeropoulos said “We’ve enrolled over 3 million people in Marketplace coverage, helped hundreds of thousands apply for Medicaid and CHIP via Healthcare.gov, and have now facilitated applications from 10,000 households through our mobile-friendly Medicaid application.”

About HealthSherpa

HealthSherpa partners with large employers, insurers, and insurance agents to support consumers searching for, enrolling in, and using high quality, affordable health insurance coverage. HealthSherpa only sells ACA marketplace plans, which have built-in consumer protections, and since its founding in 2014, has enrolled over 3 million Americans in Affordable Care Act coverage.

Visiun® Develops Reporting to Analyze COVID-19 Antibody Titers for Plasma Donation Eligibility


Visiun’s Performance Insight® COVID-19 Antibody Dashboard

Visiun, the leader in laboratory analytics, has developed new reporting that analyzes COVID-19 antibody titers for plasma donation enabling health systems to identify what percentage of their tested population meet donation eligibility.

Developed in quick response to address a critical customer request, these new analytics provide a breakdown from positive COVID-19 patients carrying enough of the antibody to be eligible for plasma donation. This includes the number of positive and negative antibody test results derived from the number of samples tested as well as a categorization of the amount of antibody titration levels using defined markers for donor eligibility thresholds. Hospitals can see the percentages of samples that meet each defined threshold for plasma donation eligibility criteria.

Convalescent plasma is the liquid part of blood that is collected from patients who have recovered from the novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19, caused by the virus SARS-COV-2. According to the USFDA, COVID-19 patients develop antibodies in the blood against the virus. Convalescent plasma is currently being investigated for the treatment of COVID-19 because there is no approved treatment for this disease and there is some information that suggests it might help some patients recover from COVID-19.

In addition to these new analytics, Visiun has been proactively helping laboratories respond to the COVID-19 pandemic with the creation of a suite of applicable analytics, offered at no charge to laboratories that have Visiun’s software product, Performance Insight®, installed. Additional capabilities include reporting for laboratories to monitor volumes of positive and negative test results by laboratory location, reporting that filters new positive cases from repeat positive results, and the ability to distinguish high volume COVID-19 positive areas based on zip codes. Importantly, this tool can also be used for laboratories to monitor their COVID-19 test turnaround times and trending volumes.

Compatible with every major LIS on the market, Performance Insight provides laboratory management with business intelligence and analytics to help their teams monitor key service commitments and improve workflow, quality, and financial performance. With Performance Insight, laboratories can eliminate manual reporting processes and see everything that is happening in the lab on a daily basis including turnaround time, quality, productivity/workflow, blood product utilization, test utilization, and more.

About Visiun, Inc.

Visiun® is the leading provider of performance analytics to the laboratory industry. Headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Visiun has been providing services to the laboratory industry for over ten years, with hundreds of laboratories installed across the United States. Performance Insight®, Visiun’s core product, provides laboratory managers with a comprehensive suite of analytics that deliver immediate improvements in performance, efficiency, and quality.
