Contact-form spam. It's a problem. Servers are seeing a much higher volume of spam, and perhaps more sophisticated spam that is better at defeating spam protection on your website's contact form. Wading through it all wastes time. More importantly, volumes of contact form spam increase the likelihood an agency will miss a lead.

We can help. We have a new form processing script that is stopping 99% of contact form spam while improving contact form email deliverability. Unlike Google's spam blocker, it's HIPAA compliant, never over-burdens your human customers, and only needs an update when you say so. It's three hours of labor to install it on most of the website's we have designed in the past. Contact us if you would like this taken care of.

Businesses are receiving a massive amount of fraud over their Facebook accounts, right now. If your business page does not normally use messaging, you might consider going into the settings of your business page and turning off the messaging option any options for other pages or groups to tag your page.

One of the common scams happening right now is this. A bad actor will create a page or group named as if it is a page for Facebook/Meta employees. Then they will message business pages and business owners, saying there is a problem with the page, its posts, or its advertising. Sometimes, the scammer will tag your page in a post, making the fraudulent message appear in your notifications! The scam can progress from there. Be careful if anyone asks for a credit card number or password. Take your time and make sure you are in the right place.

A timely response to referrals improves patient outcomes in measurable ways. Are you managing this metric? Then, are you marketing this metric?

One in three patients discharged from the hospital may be at a higher risk of adverse outcomes due to delayed home health. This endangers patients who are sick, elderly, and homebound. Learn more...

Interesting data from the Joint Commission. Has this matched your experience with or evaluation of accreditation?

As hospital discharge planners more and more go straight to home health, skipping the skilled nursing facilities, the number of working home health agencies is on the decline due to various government and market challenges. Predictably, home health agencies are increasingly turning down referrals from hospitals. Can America count on the home health industry as in the past, or is it time to reverse federal and institutional pressures on Medicare-certified home health?

A new report shows that hospitals are referring to home health more than skilled nursing facilities now, but home health seems to be turning down referrals at a higher rate.
