Accelerating the Hiring Process, Especially for Hard-to-Fill Positions
August 26, 2025–Welcome to “Objectives in Action,” our ongoing series that features teams from across the organization that are working to make our four Top Company Objectives a reality. These strategic objectives, when executed well, will help us achieve our vision. Top Company Objectives featured in this article: In the spotlight: The HR Talent Acquisition team The hiring situation: Until earlier this year, the Talent Acquisition team was using Workday to track job candidates as they move through the hiring process. While Workday is a strong system for HR, payroll and finance, it has limited functionality when it comes to tracking job applicants: Key parts of the hiring process—like sharing resumes and collecting feedback—often had to be done outside the system through emails or other manual methods. Also, the reporting and analyzing of hiring information required manual workarounds to extract data, making it difficult to view trends or make real-time, data-informed decisions.
Help Us Protect Home Health Care from Medicare Cuts!
August 25, 2025–The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is proposing a devastating 9% cut—$1 billion nationwide—to Medicare home health care reimbursement in 2026. This would be the deepest funding reduction home health care organizations like ours have ever faced. If finalized, these cuts would sharply limit access to care for millions of Americans—including our own patients and the communities we serve. What’s at Stake Here in New York “If CMS goes through with these latest reductions, many more New Yorkers will be unable to get the care they need,” warns CEO Dan Savitt. How VNS Health Is Responding Here’s How You Can Take Action We need every voice at VNS Health to make a difference: It’s Important We Speak Up Every day, we see how home health care keeps people safe, independent, and where they want to be—at home. Together, we must act now to stop these cuts and protect

3 AI Solutions That Could Be Game Changers for Provider Services
August 11, 2025–INSIDE PROVIDER SERVICES with David Rosales Welcome to the latest installment of “Inside Provider Services,” my column in which I talk about important things that are happening within our Home Care, Hospice, Behavioral Health, Personal Care and Care Management Organization teams. One topic that’s been getting a lot of attention lately—and that I’m very excited about—is artificial intelligence (AI) and how AI solutions can enhance the way we work. I believe AI is going to transform our organization and how we provide care at VNS Health. AI not only has the potential to improve the quality of our care and the consumer experience, but it’s going to free us from having to do repetitious tasks that take up a lot of time, so we can focus more on the care itself. Here are a few examples of what I mean: Documenting Home Care and Hospice clinical visits Documentation is one
