Rosemark Launches Medicaid Integration for Michigan Home Care Agencies
'We created one of the first caregiver apps in the industry and we continue to update and enhance our technology year after year. ' — Robin Tuck, Product Owner and Project Manager
ANN ARBOR, MI, UNITED STATES, March 27, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Rosemark recently launched its Medicaid integration with Michigan 's Electronic Visit Verification ( EVV) aggregator, HHAeXchange, allowing home care agencies the opportunity to choose which management software they wish to use for daily operations.
Since the implementation of the 21st Century Cures Act in 2016, states have been adjusting their rules and regulations regarding Medicaid reporting from and reimbursements to home care agencies. Rosemark is honored to be a part of the process of helping home care agencies navigate the unique challenges this presents in each state.
Michigan home care agencies can rest assured that with Rosemark they have a secure, reliable, and customizable scheduling software option to collect their EVV events.
Compliance with these new EVV regulations can potentially cause concerns for agencies that have always used manual processes like paper timesheets for their operations. Rosemark offers a new opportunity for those agencies to update their processes, increase productivity, and stay compliant with the state of Michigan.
Creating more efficient workflows for daily operations has been at the forefront of Rosemark's technology since its inception in 1988.
With a user-friendly caregiver app, customizable scheduling software, and high-touch, personal care provided by its Customer Success Team, the Rosemark System leads the way in home care management software.
'Home care agencies have more than enough challenges these days,' according to Rosemark's Product Owner, Robin Tuck. 'Our goal is to alleviate some of those struggles by giving office staff and caregivers better tools that make their jobs easier.'
'We created one of the first caregiver apps in the industry,' Tuck explained, 'and we continue to update and enhance our technology year after year.
'Rosemark provides our customers with helpful tools like in-app shift offers, navigation options so caregivers can choose their preferred mapping app, and things like offline mode that allow care staff to clock in and out if they're in very rural areas with no data coverage,' Tuck concluded.
For more information on Rosemark's integration in Michigan and how it can help home care agencies become compliant with Michigan's Medicaid EVV requirements, call (734) 436-2631 or visit https://rosemarksystem.com/contact/.

LinkedIn's Aneesh Raman says the career ladder is disappearing in the AI era
As AI evolves, the world of work is getting even better for the most creative, curious, and growth-minded employees. So says Aneesh Raman, LinkedIn's chief economic opportunity officer. Raman has intriguing and urgent insights on why the career ladder is disappearing—and how AI will help transform it into more of a climbing wall, with a unique path for each of us. Learn which parts of the workforce Raman sees as most affected by AI, and why he remains 'radically pro-human' as the very nature of work dramatically shifts. This is an abridged transcript of an interview from Rapid Response, hosted by Bob Safian, the former editor-in-chief of Fast Company. From the team behind the Masters of Scale podcast, Rapid Response features candid conversations with today's top business leaders navigating real-time challenges. Subscribe to Rapid Response wherever you get your podcasts to ensure you never miss an episode. You wrote an opinion piece for The New York Times with a headline about the bottom rung of the career ladder breaking, and it went viral. Did that surprise you? I've been in the arena for moments of big change before—when I was with CNN, when I was with President Obama—so I have a sense of what it's like when cultural conversations start to take hold. With this one, I didn't know what exactly was going to happen. I did an op-ed in The New York Times last year, and that one—it percolated here or there, but it wasn't like this one. And so this one really hit, I think, an underlying tension that we're all feeling that something big is underway. That it isn't playing out cleanly, quickly, everywhere all at once. It's not like the pandemic, where we all just know what's happening and then our life changes overnight, but that it is coming to us eventually. And evidently, entry-level work is the place where we're all able to focus first, as a place where something real and big is happening. And that's what I've been encouraged by. Because a lot of what I wrote this op-ed for was to provoke the conversations about AI and work, which is: 'What do we do about this, and how do we get to better?' And there's speculation about where AI hits the workforce hardest. The CEO of Anthropic has pointed to white-collar jobs. You're talking about entry-level tasks. Are those two different scenarios based on different assumptions, or is it two parts of the same thing? The thing I can say with certainty is that this will affect every worker, in every company, in every sector, in every society. When it impacts every worker in every company, I don't know. It'll depend on where you work, what you do, but it's going to hit everyone. And it's going to hit everyone in a way that can lead to better for everyone, which I know we'll talk about. What I don't think anyone can do right now is in any absolute way predict net employment. We don't know so much of what's about to hit, and so much of where it goes depends on what we do as humans right now to shape this new economy as it forms. So we know historically, jobs have been disrupted, and new jobs have been created, every time we've gone into a new economy. It's unclear to me whether we'll see more jobs changing than new jobs emerging, and it's going to take a bit for us to figure that out. But what we know is happening right now is that everyone's job is changing on them, even if they are not changing jobs. And that's where we should be focused. And the data about roles that you see on LinkedIn's platform, the overall jobs numbers that come from the government, are fairly solid. Everything's happening and everything's not happening, because there's no, again, universal way. It's not an either/or situation. So I think a lot of what we've got to push beyond is this: Are entry-level jobs going away? Are they going to stay? It's neither. It's both. It's yes. So when I think about entering a new economy and I look back across economic anthropology and economic history, there are generally four phases. The first phase is disruption. This new technology becomes real. And this is, I think, a technology equivalent to general-purpose technologies like the steam engine, like electricity, like the internet. We're in that zone. So we already know that's happening. Any number of metrics of people using AI at work, we've got data. Nearly 90% of C-suite leaders globally say, 'AI adoption is a top priority for 2025.' So this technology is here, and it's in the day-to-day. Now, the second thing that happens when you enter a new economy is that jobs change. And a lot of what I looked at early on with AI is: 'Is AI going to be more like electricity or like the internet?' And the reason I ask that is that electricity changed everything for everyone, but it actually didn't change much for humans at work. We still largely did physical labor. We just did it in the factory rather than the farm. The internet came, and it fundamentally started to change work for humans. Suddenly, it wasn't just physical labor but intellectual labor that became valued by our economy. So the first thing I was looking at is, 'Okay, disruption's here. Jobs are going to change. How are they going to change?' A new economy's on the way that I'm calling the innovation economy. Because our core skills as humans, the things that differentiate our species—the ability to imagine, to invent, to communicate complex ideas, to organize around complex ideas—those are going to come to the center of work. And that's a whole new set of skills that our economy has never fully valued. In fact, we've derided those skills often as soft skills or people skills that are nice to have, not must-haves. So we're already starting to see in our data that communication is, like, the number one skill across job postings, not coding. All the jobs on the rise, aside from just general AI fluency or deep AI knowledge—if you're going for that small set of jobs explicitly about building AI—are all things like critical thinking, strategic thinking, closing that deal as a salesperson, persuasion, storytelling. So we're already seeing that jobs are going to shift; they're going to shift more to unique human capability. And then the fourth phase will come where we'll see a new economy emerge. And part of what I'm waiting for, and I don't think we have these signals yet, is new job titles. Mine got made up eight to nine months ago. Moderna's got a new chief digital and people officer that they've created. New roles will emerge that aren't just AI, because we're seeing head of AI jobs have gone up, I think, three times in five years. But also new business starts, like a whole new era of innovation that's going to happen through these tools. So there are some signals I'm waiting for. A different organizational workflow, like org charts become work charts. You have project-based work. There are a bunch of signals we'll start to see over the next year or two that start to suggest where and how the new economy is taking hold. You looked historically at electricity and the internet, and it sounds like you're saying it's more like the internet. But it's also going to be something completely different that we don't even really know yet what it is. Well, we know that whatever the role of humans at work is, it's going to be more human than work has ever been. And what's really important about that is . . . I always start with, 'Well, let's evaluate the status quo we've got before we A, get afraid of changing it, or B, want to imagine what it should become.' Work has never been human-centric, ever. The story of work is the story of technology at work, not humans at work.

Texas Removes 1.8 Million People From Health Care Plan
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Almost 1.8 million Americans have been disenrolled from Medicaid health coverage in Texas in the last two years, according to data by KFF, a nonprofit health policy research and news organization. These Americans have lost their health insurance as part of the unwinding process happening nationwide after Medicaid coverage was expanded following the COVID pandemic. A spokesperson for the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) told Newsweek it is "committed to ensuring that those qualified for benefits receive them," and worked closely with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) "throughout the public health emergency and the Medicaid unwind process." "Federal guidance required HHSC to redetermine eligibility for 6 million Medicaid clients over the course of 12 months," they added. "Redetermining eligibility within federal requirements was a massive undertaking. Throughout the unwind, HHSC met with our federal partners on a regular basis to ensure that we followed federal guidance, and we will continue to collaborate with CMS to provide eligible Texans with benefits." Why It Matters The unwinding process has resulted in significant drops in Medicaid enrollment across the U.S. in recent years. While some of those disenrolled from Medicaid may still have had access to other forms of health insurance through their employment, those left without insurance could be in a vulnerable position. Higher rates of uninsured populations in states have been associated with negative impacts on health outcomes and medical costs. File photo: doctors treat a child in a hospital. File photo: doctors treat a child in a hospital. Gerald Herbert/AP What To Know During the pandemic, some states expanded Medicaid coverage under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) while some Americans may have being encouraged to enroll for health coverage given the spread of the virus, causing nationwide enrollment levels to increase. Federal rules then meant states had to keep most Medicaid enrollees on the program even if their eligibility status changed, a requirement which expired in March 2023, allowing states to resume removing individuals from the program. Medicaid enrollment has since steadily declined, driven by both eligibility losses and procedural disenrollments. In Texas, there were 5,922,450 covered by Medicaid in March 2023, but by March 2025, that number was 4,164,694, KFF data shows. This marks a change of almost 1.8 million, a rate of decline faster than in Florida, California and New York. The number of people with Medicaid coverage is now just lower than February 2020 levels, a difference of 1 percent. Reasons for Texas' steeper drop in Medicaid enrollment could be because of the fact it, combined with Florida, New York and California, made up a significant proportion of Medicaid enrollment before the unwinding, Timothy McBride, a professor of public health at Washington University in St. Louis, told Newsweek. All four states together accounted for 36 percent of Medicaid enrollment and subsequently accounted for 31 percent of the drop in the unwinding period between 2020 and 2025, he added. This is in part because the states have large populations, but also because they have some of lowest percentages of health insurance coverage by employers or private plans, McBride said. This is due to "higher poverty rates, especially in Florida and Texas, fewer good jobs that offer health insurance, and a higher percentage of nonwhite persons, especially in Florida, Texas, and California," he said. "If they do not have private coverage they seek Medicaid," he added. For those that were able to gain health insurance through private coverage once being rolled off Medicaid, there is little concern. However, those that may remain uninsured as a result of the unwinding process "I am worried about," McBride said. "The negative outcomes could be delays in seeking needed medical care leading to worse outcomes, lack of prevention, which is especially problematic if they have chronic conditions, bad mental health and financial outcomes, and higher medical debt since they have to pay for more out of pocket," he added. What People Are Saying Timothy D. McBride, professor of public health at Washington University in St. Louis, told Newsweek: "Part of the drop is people who maintained Medicaid coverage on paper because they got it at some point during the pandemic but remained there through the PHE. Yet some may have moved along and obtained other coverage, so really were not needing the Medicaid anyway. The group we are concerned about is those who have become uninsured or who lost the coverage for procedural reasons. It appears from some work that maybe 30 percent or so of those who lost coverage may be uninsured. And a lot of people—around that number lost coverage for procedural reasons, many of them children." Laura Dague, a professor of health policy at Texas A&M University, told Newsweek: "How impactful the decreases in enrollment will be in terms of individual health depend on how aware people were of their ongoing coverage and how often they used it, and there is not much empirical evidence on this topic at the moment. A much bigger issue for Texas in my opinion will be the upcoming projected decreases in Marketplace enrollment due to decreasing subsidies; Texas has had major growth in that market in the last few years as subsidies increased." What Happens Next As the unwinding continues, more reductions in enrollment are expected in the state, and across the country. With millions already having lost health coverage, concerns remain about access to care for low-income individuals and families.

Trump's Medicaid Cuts Put People with Disabilities at Risk
Today marks the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This landmark legislation, which enshrined in federal statute civil rights for people living with disabilities, has transformed countless lives. It opened the world up to an entire population who, until that point, were more often than not excluded and isolated from society. It codified a legal pathway for equality and inclusion by dismantling longstanding barriers that prevented people with disabilities from having the opportunity to pursue employment, live independently, access transportation and public spaces, and so much more. The ADA affirmed the fundamental right of every American to participate fully in society, and is foundational to ensuring that those with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) have equal opportunities to thrive and live with autonomy. Yet, as we celebrate the ADA's enduring legacy this year, the future for people with disabilities looks less certain. The ADA's vision is not self-sustaining. Its promise is fulfilled through an ecosystem of vital support services, many of which rely on Medicaid funding. For millions of Americans living with disabilities, Medicaid is a lifeline that provides access to essential home- and community-based services (HCBS). These services include the most basic activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, eating, and more, as well as the residential programs, employment supports, and assistive technologies that allow people with I/DD to live with dignity in their own homes and communities. These services are at the heart of the ADA and crucial to making inclusion a reality. Following the passage of President Donald Trump's tax bill, which will cut aproximately $1 trillion from Medicaid over the next several years, these support systems are in jeopardy. This attack on Medicaid threatens to unravel decades of progress toward equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities, as access to these services will undoubtedly become more limited. Read More: The Big Budget Bill Could Make Your ER a Mess Cuts to Medicaid could mean fewer available care services, longer waiting lists for critical support, and potentially the loss of the very assistance that allows those with I/DD to live independent and fulfilling lives. Imagine losing the career coach who helps you get ready for work and makes it possible to maintain steady employment, or the direct support professional (DSP) who helps you bathe and brush your teeth, or the transportation service that connects you to your community. These cuts translate into a forced retreat from independence, pushing individuals back into isolation and dependency, often in hospitals or costly, state-run institutions, directly contradicting the ADA's core tenets. The ripple effect extends to the dedicated community providers who are the backbone of the HCBS ecosystem. These organizations operate on thin margins, relying heavily, or solely, on Medicaid to fund their services. Cuts of this size may fall heavily on providers, who are already in crisis because of long-term underinvestment in community-based services, leaving them struggling to offer their DSPs competitive wages and benefits due to stagnant and insufficient reimbursement rates. Ultimately, these cuts could lead to reduced capacity, staff layoffs, and even the closure of programs. The national shortage of DSPs is also expected to worsen. To pay wages, providers rely on Medicaid reimbursements from their states; if states are rendered unable to increase reimbursement rates, providers will lose the DSPs they employ to better-paying opportunities in other hourly wage industries such as fast food and retail. This monumental blow to Medicaid funding will make it even harder to find and retain the individuals who provide day-to-day care. Troublingly, these DSPs, whose work is both physically and emotionally demanding, often rely on Medicaid themselves due to insufficient wages. When providers are forced to scale back programs or shutter entirely, the entire HCBS infrastructure weakens, leaving countless individuals without the support they need. The strain is then placed on the families of people with I/DD, potentially forcing some to leave their own jobs to provide care for their loved ones. For the many individuals with I/DD who don't have family or existing networks of support, access to care may be lost completely. Read More: The GOP Budget Takes From the Poor and Gives to the Rich The true scale of the impact remains to be seen, but there is no doubt that it will be nothing short of devastating. A nearly $1 trillion cut to Medicaid is not just a budgetary change. It will harm people with disabilities and the progress we have made since the passage of the ADA. Decades of advocacy, innovation, and hard-won victories for equality and inclusion are at risk of being rolled back. As we honor the ADA this year, we must recommit to its vision by unequivocally protecting the very funding that makes true community living and inclusion a reality for all. We cannot allow the fundamental rights and opportunities of people with disabilities to be undermined. Solutions must be found, advocates must fight back, and state leaders need to find ways to preserve funding for these vital services. Access to care is not a luxury, it is a necessity that is integral to upholding the rights of those with disabilities.
