In the News- McKnights Home Care

In this guest column, our CEO Joseph McDonough shares his thoughts on the critical role that home healthcare agencies can play in fixing America’s behavioral health system.

The home (not the hospital) should be the hub for behavioral healthcare

The American mental health system is irreparably broken and demands urgent action. People are struggling, and the wait time to get them help is backing up our healthcare systems, burning out our healthcare workers. In worst-case scenarios, it is causing widespread harm, as we have seen too often in mass shootings and other tragic acts stemming from untreated mental illnesses.

Nurse Spotlight

Josefina Borges wants to spotlight one of our amazing nurses, Kyland Silva for jumping into action during a recent patient visit.

When visiting one of our long-time patients this month, Kyland arrived to find the patient unresponsive. Despite the difficult circumstances, Kyland assessed the situation quickly and performed CPR. While the outcome was not what we had hoped for, Kyland's dedication to her patient's well-being are a true testament to the high standards of care we provide. We are grateful for all the education and training that our nurses receive, which enable them to step into action without hesitation and provide the best possible care.

It is so hard to lose a patient, especially one that has been on services for so many years. Kyland did a great job in recognizing the seriousness of the situation while immediately implementing emergency care.

Kyland, we thank you for your unwavering commitment to our patients!

2024 Mileage Reimbursement Rates

Starting January 1, 2024, Innovive has increased our mileage reimbursement rate to 67 cents per mile to align with the new standard mileage rates set by the IRS.

We want to ensure that our employees are fairly compensated for their hard work and dedication, and we are committed to reviewing the reimbursement regularly to provide best-in-class benefits.

It's important to note that the new rate and mileage are automatically calculated in our EMR system, making it easy for employees to submit their mileage for reimbursement.

Mileage reimbursement will be calculated weekly and included in monthly payroll earnings.

Dayforce is tailored to our workforce, so get ready to experience a whole new level of efficiency and convenience.
