In A Tough Operating Environment, Home Health Providers Are Snatching Back Control

Home health providers face a challenging operating environment despite surging demand for their services. Their leaders aim to seize the benefits of this increased demand rather than ceding ground to external entities such as UnitedHealth Group's Optum or CVS Health, which may exploit the care-to-home shift. SCAN Group's CEO, Sachin Jain, emphasized the paramount importance of cultivating a strong clinical culture. In pursuit of enduring excellence, they are developing five distinct home care delivery entities, aspiring to establish reputations akin to esteemed institutions like the Mayo Clinic, Mass General, and Cleveland Clinic. Their vision is centered on longevity and recognition, eschewing short-term gains in favor of lasting impact.
