'I've always believed if approximately 12,000 people trust us with their daily care, we better be running toward the future, not away from it,' said Gary Blake, CEO of Creative Solutions in Healthcare. 'We've partnered with CoreCare for over five years, and we didn't adopt their AI because it's trendy. We did it because CoreCare's technology helps our teams work together to make smarter decisions. Pre-Admit is the next step in our partnership. It shows our staff what matters, breaks down silos, and helps us get to yes with more referrals - faster and with increased confidence.'
Every SNF referral demands two high-stakes decisions: (1) Can we admit this patient? (2) What are the risks if we do? In a market where competition is intensifying, speed wins. Yet clinical reviews often take over 20 minutes, and nearly 67% of admissions happen without full financial verification - exposing providers to write-offs and recoupments. Pre-Admit closes that gap, flagging clinical and financial risk quickly and accurately so admissions teams can move faster, grow census, and protect margin.
'Even a straightforward referral requires coordination across multiple team members,' said Auston Clanton, COO of Creative Solutions in Healthcare. 'When teams are stretched thin and our referrals get more complex, back-and-forth slows everything down - and key details get missed. Meanwhile, hospitals are discharging patients around the clock and expect clear, confident answers. Pre-Admit bridges the gap between referral pressure and decision readiness. With clinical and financial alignment, our teams move faster, win more high-value referrals, and respond to hospital partners with the speed they expect - without sacrificing accuracy.'
'Pre-Admit redefines how SNFs evaluate and act on referrals,' said Dennis Antonelos, Co-Founder and CEO of CoreCare. 'It's built to embed expert-level clinical and financial evaluations across every facility, team, and shift - regardless of who's on the floor or in the office. We're proud of our partnership with Creative Solutions in Healthcare, and proud of our team for strengthening CoreCare's platform, giving providers more functionality in one system.'
Pre-Admit is the latest addition to CoreCare's Collaborative Revenue Management platform, expanding its capabilities to include referral evaluation alongside existing products for admissions, reimbursement and revenue cycle workflows. Thousands of skilled nursing facilities nationwide rely on CoreCare's platform to streamline billing, manage Medicaid applications, and track compliance across PASRR and form workflows.
'SNFs that succeed in this new environment will be the ones that embrace technology to respond to referrals with speed, precision, and confidence,' said Antonelos. 'Pre-Admit is AI-powered infrastructure built specifically for the long-term care industry, and it's ready now.'

You might want to think twice about buying a pre-owned Switch 2, as Nintendo's anti-piracy feature has left some consoles broken
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Pre-owned Switch 2 consoles that have been modded are reportedly being bricked by Nintendo's anti-piracy policy Redditor Bimmytung says they bought a second-hand console from Walmart, only to discover that the Switch 2 is permanently offline Nintendo has been blocking access to online services on the console if players have modded the console using the MIG Flash tool If you're thinking about purchasing a second-hand Nintendo Switch 2, you may want to think twice, as Nintendo's anti-piracy policy has reportedly left some consoles permanently offline. As IGN reports, Redditor Bimmytung shared a post explaining how they bought a pre-owned Switch 2 from Walmart, only to find that it had been 'bricked' by Nintendo after booting it up. Earlier this month, it was reported that Nintendo had been blocking access to online services on the console if players had used MIG Flash, a tool used to allow players to backup copies of games. Before the Switch 2 launched, Nintendo suggested in its user agreement that it had the power to 'brick' devices that are modded. "Nintendo may render the Nintendo Account Services and/or the applicable Nintendo device permanently unusable in whole or in part", it reads. Those affected will be presented with error code "2124-4508," which will permanently block players from accessing online services, which is exactly what Redditor Bimmytung has experienced. Found one. Didn't end well. from r/switch2 "Been casually looking for a Switch 2. Today I was driving between work sites and stopped at two different Walmarts. At the second one I find a Mario Kart edition sitting in the case and couldn't believe my luck," Bimmytung said. "Physically it's fine, everything seems there. Notice that the Mario Kart code is scratched off. Hmm. Naturally wonder if the original buyer redeemed the code and returned the system. They knocked $50 off the price so I figured I'd roll the dice and at least have the hardware. Bought a Pro Controller 2 while I was at it. The Redditor continued, saying, "Get home and go to finish the setup - quickly get Error Code 2124-4508. A quick Google search shows me I'm screwed. FML. Thankfully my local Walmart accepted the return without any fuss but still... I wish nothing but enthusiastic double gonorrhea to the lowlife scum that did this." Users with a 'bricked' Switch 2 would essentially be unable to access any multiplayer games like Mario Kart World, the eShop, Game Chat, and more. Thankfully, stores like Walmart can accept refunds, but if you were to buy a second-hand console from eBay without knowing if it had been modded, you're out of luck. You might also like...

Revealed: Man Utd's Mbeumo bid during execs' Iceland summit, Ratcliffe's fishing trip, ‘bomb squad' fears
As Manchester United's pre-season gets properly started in Stockholm against Leeds United, the idiosyncrasies of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's regime will again be apparent. Chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox are scheduled to fly into the Swedish capital on the morning of the game tomorrow, having accepted Ratcliffe's invitation for a series of face-to-face meetings in Iceland in the days beforehand. As well as getting granular on United matters, there were plans for some in the party to go fishing. Advertisement Over the years, Ratcliffe, who travels frequently, has hosted several gatherings with his senior INEOS executives in various places across the globe, and views them as a way to cut to the heart of business in a relaxed environment outside the grind of the office. Indeed, one of Berrada's first days at United was with the petrochemicals billionaire amid ski slopes. The setting is different 12 months on. Ratcliffe is, according to the INEOS website, a 'passionate fly fisherman', and has invested in farms around several key river systems in Iceland to help protect North Atlantic salmon, launching the Six Rivers Project in 2019. So, amid the streams and hills of Iceland, Ratcliffe, Berrada and Wilcox are spending the 48 hours before kick-off against Leeds thrashing out the path forward for United, while also getting to know each other — and nature. Phone signal can be intermittent in the area, but it was no impediment to United pressing ahead with a third bid for Bryan Mbeumo, reaching £65million plus £5m in add-ons. Indeed, it can reasonably be deduced that being together in person, as Ratcliffe prefers when taking big decisions, was in fact the trigger for stepping up their transfer plans. Having space for deep conversations about the club, both sporting and commercial, was the main agenda. Ratcliffe did propose Ruben Amorim join the trip, too, but after discussions, United's co-owner accepted that the team's head coach needed to be with his squad exclusively in the build-up to a fixture that marks the beginning of the 2025-26 campaign. Amorim will instead lead a session at Carrington this morning before boarding a plane with his staff and players to Stockholm in the afternoon, staying overnight in order to be ready for tomorrow's game. This warm-up against Daniel Farke's side will be a first glimpse of Amorim's efforts to ensure the 'good days are coming', as he vowed to fans following the final Premier League game of last season. Advertisement It had been a dismal campaign, United's worst finish in the top flight (15th) since they were relegated in the 1973-74 season and without the consolation of a cup win after Amorim's side were beaten 1-0 by Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final. Amorim's words in May gave the impression that sweeping change was looming as the club plotted a fresh start for his first full campaign. But so far, there is a strong familiarity to the personnel at his disposal. Matheus Cunha is the only major new name, and though United giving him the No 10 shirt represents an additional symbolic shift away from Marcus Rashford — a pretty brutal removal for the player who has worn it for the past seven years and who is still at the club — the pace of evolution for Amorim's selections is slower than expected, certainly when set against the mass exodus of hundreds of non-playing staff. Selling footballers, particularly those on high wages, brings different complications to implementing redundancy schemes, but United are attempting to force the issue with the five members of the club's 'bomb squad' by making life more difficult for them. Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia being told they must train separately from Amorim's group and only arrive at Carrington at 5pm, after the first-team have left, is part of a club strategy to make clear to each player they have no future at United and encourage them to actively search for and accept a transfer. Not everybody at United agrees with the decision to limit their access to evening hours, however, given the relationships they have with people at the club. There is also the fear that ostracising them lowers their value in the transfer market, an awkward look at a time when ordinary workers are being laid off to cut costs. Advertisement Rather than making them rush towards the exit, some feel one or two of the players might be inclined to wait so that their fees fall further closer to deadline, safe in the knowledge United have to eventually agree to departures. Garnacho, whose current price of £60million to £70m, is likely to fall into that category, with Chelsea monitoring his situation. The benefit, from United's perspective, is that this hard-line approach shows Amorim's standards are being enforced to the fullest extent. To make a clean break from the past, Amorim only wants those players who are fully on board. Signing Mbeumo would create momentum, even though negotiations have dragged on for more than a month due to a difference of opinion on the fee between United and Brentford. United started at £55m and are now up to £70m. The timing of an offer that executives hope will end in agreement, on the eve of United's return to action and Amorim possibly speaking to media for the first time since May on Saturday, feels pertinent. United want to have Mbeumo on the U.S. tour, which the squad fly out for on Tuesday. For fans, there is an echo of the Frenkie de Jong pursuits, except that at least this time the player wants to come. All signs still point to Mbeumo being at Old Trafford for the coming campaign. Diego Leon is the only other new signing available to Amorim right now, though. After promising to 'kill it' at Carrington, the 18-year-old left-back has impressed in training this week, not looking out of place despite his youth and arriving from Paraguay. He was not immediately assigned a squad number because staff wanted to see how he fared and where his status should be pitched. He will want to make an impression in Stockholm to secure his place on the tour to the United States later this month, where United play matches against West Ham United, Bournemouth and Everton. The same can be said for youth players Bendito Mantato, Shea Lacey, and Sekou Kone. Mantato, 17, has featured most prominently in sessions, mainly at wing-back, with Lacey, 18, also given decent time. Kone, 19, has flitted between youth and first team. Goalkeeper Elyh Harrison, 19, has trained with the seniors every day, amid the injury to Andre Onana. Among the more experienced playing contingent, Lisandro Martinez continues to work on his rehabilitation from the cruciate knee ligament injury he sustained in February. He will not be in Stockholm but hopes to join the squad in the U.S. to keep pace with tactical sessions, should doctors allow. Amorim would like him there, not least as he values his motivational qualities among team-mates. Martinez, 27, is close to joining group training, but his Premier League return is unclear as United do not want to take any risks. Advertisement Overall, Amorim is planning for a small squad in pre-season to replicate the campaign ahead, which features no European football for the first time in 11 years. United have added a new staff member to the senior set-up to assist the group. Acacio Valentim has started working as team manager in a position last permanently held by Jackie Kay, who left the club in January after nearly 30 years' service. Valentim's role will be to handle various aspects around the dressing room. He did the same job at Braga for the last two seasons, having worked at Porto for 16 years, including originally as public relations officer at a time when Jose Mourinho was manager. He adds to the Portuguese contingent at United, but had not worked with Amorim before. In the meantime, multiple conversations are ongoing in the transfer market, a different kind of fishing expedition from the one Ratcliffe enjoys in Iceland.

John Hancock's former home can be yours — said to be the sole relic from the American Revolution still standing in downtown Boston
You can use your John Hancock to buy John Hancock's former house. A highly pedigreed property in the heart of central Boston is on sale for the first time in half a century, the Boston Globe reported. The pre-Revolutionary War building has a lot to brag about — it was built by that founding father, used to stash silver for the Continental Army and housed the country's oldest continually run shoe store. Moreover, the Ebenezer Hancock House is thought to be the sole surviving house from the Revolutionary period still standing in downtown Boston, the Globe reported. Advertisement It's certainly the only one you can buy. 8 The Ebenezer Hancock House. Courtesy of Flylisted | LandVest 8 John Hancock, who signed the Declaration of Independence and served as the first governor of Massachusetts. Getty Images Advertisement The brick edifice was built in colonial times around 1767 by John Hancock, the founding father known for his outsized signature on the Declaration of Independence. Hancock's lesser-known brother, Ebenezer Hancock, lived and worked in the home as a deputy paymaster for the Continental Army. The paymasters were responsible for funding American troops, and Ebenezer's home served as their wartime headquarters. Two million silver crowns loaned by the King of France in 1778 were stored in the house, according to the Boston Landmarks Commission, before they were distributed to soldiers. The 5,748-square-foot property is the only remaining Boston building associated with John Hancock. Hancock sold the property to a local merchant in 1785, according to city records, and his personal home was demolished in the 1800s. 8 A law firm has owned and preserved the building for half a century. Courtesy of Flylisted | LandVest Advertisement 8 The house contains some of the best preserved historic interiors in Boston. Courtesy of Flylisted | LandVest 8 A large hearth features an antique mantel and a beehive oven. Courtesy of Flylisted | LandVest LandVest listing agent Dave Killen told The Post that the 50-year stewardship of the property's current owners, the law firm of Swartz & Swartz, has prevented modernization or conversion. 'There's nothing like the Ebenezer Hancock House that I've seen in terms of the level of authentic carpentry that goes all the way back to its original construction,' said Killen. Advertisement The property spans three floors. Raised wood panel work and trim on the second floor remain original details from Hancock's construction. Other historic details include exposed beams, wide-plank floors and an oversize hearth with a beehive oven. Killen, who specializes in unique and historic commercial properties, called the property 'the best surviving example of later Georgian interior architecture in the city.' 8 Exposed wooden beams on an upper floor.

Boston Globe via Getty Images Killen declined to disclose why Swartz & Swartz is selling the property or discuss prices, but the city of Boston most recently assessed the property at $1.65 million. The Ebenezer Hancock House is protected as a historic landmark, but its next owner doesn't need to turn it into a monument. Flexible mixed-use zoning means its buyer could feasibly live on the premises — with city approval, of course. Shops, boarding houses, taverns and private clubs have all occupied the Ebenezer Hancock House over time. 'We're engaged in a very deliberate search to find the right fit,' Killen said.
