In this episode of Home Health Revealed, we sit down with Jeremy Collier of the Ohio Council for Home Care and Hospice to explore how home health and hospice are evolving and what it means for providers today.

We discuss the difference between Medicare and Medicaid care models, often described as “pit stops vs lifelong care,” and how those philosophies shape patient experience, care delivery, and long-term outcomes. Jeremy also shares insights on the current state of hospice, including common misconceptions, emerging opportunities, and the importance of education in helping patients and families better understand the benefit.

The conversation also dives into the growing role of collaboration in home care, including clinically integrated networks like OCHN, and how stronger relationships between providers and payers are helping move the industry forward.

As reimbursement pressures, regulatory changes, and care demands continue to evolve, home health agencies are being challenged to rethink how they operate and how they define success.

In this episode of Home Health Revealed, recorded live at the OCHCH Spring Financial Conference, we sit down with Gavin Michel from KanTime for a conversation that blends industry insight with a bit of personality.

Gavin shares his perspective on what makes KanTime different, from its consulting-first roots to its focus on understanding what agencies actually need to succeed. The conversation highlights an important reminder for providers: technology should support care, not complicate it—and the foundation of everything starts with strong documentation and aligned systems.

Along the way, we also get to know the person behind the role, from his days as a bull rider to his current “hype man” approach to helping agencies find the right solutions.

It’s a candid, on-the-ground conversation about EMRs, problem-solving in home health, and why keeping the patient at the center still matters most.

In this episode of Home Health Revealed, Hannah Vale sits down with Ethan from Flychain to talk about the truth behind AI in home health and hospice, and why agencies are feeling both excitement and uncertainty about what automation really means for the future of the industry.

They discuss how AI is already being used across clinical, operational, and financial workflows, why payers are leveraging automation to review and deny claims at scale, and what providers can do now to stay ahead. The conversation also explores how better data integration, stronger revenue cycle processes, and clearer financial visibility can help agencies protect margin while continuing to grow.

Hannah and Ethan also talk through the importance of having the right tech stack, how financial and operational data need to work together, and why agencies that understand their numbers will be in the strongest position as reimbursement pressure continues.

If you are a home health or hospice leader trying to understand where AI fits into your organization, this episode breaks down the hype, the reality, and what agencies should be doing now to future-proof their operations.
