Caregivers carry so much during AEP — often quietly, often alone. This week, Johanna Cazares' shared the first piece in her new AEP reflection series — a look at what caregivers carry and why the process can feel overwhelming, even for those of us in healthcare. Her message is a reminder of something we see every year: Caregivers aren’t just helping with paperwork. They’re holding families together during one of the busiest seasons of the year. We’re grateful for Jo’s leadership and for the caregivers showing up every day. And that’s the standard we believe in at Alcar Health. #AEP2025 #Caregiving #Medicare #PACE https://lnkd.in/gfVPRNhR

Frost & Sullivan’s recent article, “Compliance Reimagined: How Automation Is Turning Regulatory Burden into Business Advantage in 2025,” highlights a shift many organizations are beginning to embrace: compliance isn’t just an obligation—it can be a driver of efficiency and growth. The report outlines how automation is reshaping the landscape by streamlining control monitoring, reducing manual documentation, strengthening risk visibility, and accelerating audit readiness. Instead of slowing organizations down, modern compliance tools are helping them move faster and operate with greater confidence. For healthcare organizations navigating evolving regulatory requirements, this perspective is especially relevant. Automation can reduce administrative strain, strengthen data integrity, and support scalability—all while keeping teams focused on delivering high-quality care. A worthwhile read for anyone responsible for compliance, security, or operational strategy.

"This takes care to another level.” That’s what Parthiban Munnainathan, MD, CPE of Primetime Telehealth shared after stepping inside the OneRoom Health CareWall™ experience. A life-size clinician. Real diagnostics. A presence that feels human — not virtual. For health centers serving rural, remote, and high-need communities, this isn’t just new tech. It’s access. It’s connection. It’s care that finally feels personal again. Hearing leaders respond to OneRoom Health this way is exactly why we believe in this work. 🎥 Watch Thiban’s reaction. 💬 If your team wants to see the CareWall™ in action, Alcar Health can set up a demo.

We need to talk about this more. Not in whispers. Not as an afterthought. Out loud. Mental health. Addiction. The parts patients often keep tucked away. The first conversation matters. Ask with empathy. Listen without judgment. Meet people where they are. This is the kind of care Ascend brings into FQHCs — integrated, patient-centered, built on trust. It’s why we walk alongside them. Because when patients feel safe to share, healing finally begins. ❤️ Check out Constance Tucker, DO from Ascend Healthcare Inc. #MentalHealthAwareness #AddictionRecovery #CommunityHealth #FQHC

TTEC recently highlighted five major opportunities for payers to strengthen the member experience, especially as plans manage growing enrollment and rising expectations. The article surfaces themes that directly connect to the work many of us see every day across FQHCs, plans, and community-based partners. Key takeaways from the article: Managing an influx of member calls and inquiries Payers must scale and train their contact centers to meet higher demand, especially from members who are newly insured or navigating benefits for the first time. Using data to elevate the member journey Member insights and trends allow payers to anticipate issues before they escalate and ensure consistency across teams and channels. Delivering targeted, relevant communications Personalized messaging based on member needs builds trust and leads to better engagement and outcomes. Strengthening member acquisition strategies Plans that balance their membership mix and connect earlier with prospective members will see stronger retention and satisfaction long term. Building integrated, multichannel marketing and service models Members engage across text, web, phone, and in-person, so alignment across all touchpoints is essential. These opportunities also mirror what many FQHCs and providers experience. When payers and providers work together around contact center readiness, data-driven outreach, and clear communication pathways, member experience improves across the entire continuum.
