Entry Essay: 
E-newsletter McKnight's Home Care Daily Pulse serves owners and operators of home care agencies and organizations, along with nursing professionals and other top-level positions. This audience craves news about their rapidly changing and increasingly influential part of the healthcare continuum. Adam Healy, staff writer for the McKnight's Home Care brand, delivered actionable and digestible information for this audience during the recent annual conference of the National Association for Home Care & Hospice, or NAHC (now the National Alliance for Care at Home).
Reporting on key educational sessions, a press conference and an exclusive interview with the outgoing president, Healy covered this conference from all angles. His stories reflect his dogged pursuit of information and strong reporter’s instincts. Two pieces ("CMS may adopt strict OSHA requirement for home health participation" and "Hospices: Boost quality assurance, training amid switch to HOPE, compliance experts say") provide valuable insight for readers into two key home care issues -- home health conditions of participation and the new HOPE tool for hospices.
Then, during a press conference with the new leader of the Alliance, Steve Landers, MD, Healy uncovered big news -- how the Alliance plans to tackle ongoing Medicare cuts and other key advocacy priorities. Finally, Healy landed an exclusive interview with the outgoing president of NAHC, a highly respected leader in the home care field, William Dombi. In this concise and poignant story, Healy hits on several key points -- Dombi's significance to the field, his illustrious background and what the industry might look like without him. Strong quotes from Dombi tie the story into a beautiful tribute to the industry leader.
This body of work offers a comprehensive package of material about home care's biggest conference of the year. With this level of coverage, those who opted to stay home from the conference may not have felt they needed to go.
