The article explains how care coordination, communication, and experience shape effective service coordination and family support.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What should individuals and families look for when selecting a case manager in Indiana? HelloNation has published an article that provides the answer, offering guidance on choosing the right professional to support care coordination and long-term needs.

The HelloNation article explains that a case manager plays a central role in Indiana by guiding individuals through healthcare systems and social services. These professionals are responsible for care coordination, developing effective care plans, and ensuring that services remain aligned with a person’s goals. The article emphasizes that strong service coordination helps reduce confusion and ensures individuals receive consistent support across providers.

According to the article, monitoring progress is one of the most important responsibilities of a case manager. Regular check-ins with providers and families allow adjustments to care plans when circumstances change. This ongoing care coordination helps prevent service gaps and strengthens overall family support, especially when multiple providers are involved.

The article also highlights how case managers help individuals access Indiana waiver programs. These waiver programs provide critical funding and services for those with developmental disabilities or chronic conditions. Navigating waiver programs can be complex, and the article notes that an experienced case manager brings valuable knowledge that improves access to appropriate community resources and services.

Clear communication is identified as a key factor when selecting a case manager in Indiana. The article describes how effective professionals explain systems in simple terms and maintain consistent updates with families. Strong communication improves service coordination by ensuring that everyone involved, including healthcare providers and community resources, is working toward the same goals.

Experience is another essential consideration discussed in the article. Case Management Experts, such as Heather Sorrells of Indiana Professional Management Group, are highlighted for their understanding of local systems. The article explains that experienced professionals are more likely to anticipate challenges, connect clients to relevant community resources, and deliver reliable care coordination. Their familiarity with Indiana systems, including waiver programs, helps ensure that care plans are both practical and responsive.

The HelloNation article further explains that effective case managers take a holistic approach. Rather than focusing only on medical needs, they consider emotional, social, and practical factors that affect well-being. This broader perspective strengthens family support and ensures that care plans reflect the full range of an individual’s needs. The article notes that strong service coordination depends on balancing organization with advocacy.

Another important takeaway involves how progress is tracked and evaluated. The article describes how case managers document services and outcomes to measure effectiveness over time. This structured approach to care coordination allows families to better understand what is working and where adjustments may be needed, improving long-term outcomes in Indiana.

The article concludes that choosing the right case manager is about finding a balance between expertise and compatibility. Individuals benefit from professionals who combine knowledge of waiver programs, access to community resources, and strong communication skills. Taking the time to evaluate these factors can lead to better service coordination and more consistent family support.

How to Choose the Right Case Manager in Indiana features insights from Heather Sorrells, Case Management Expert of West Lafayette, Indiana, in HelloNation.

Anshar Labs Acquires Dealer World, Expanding Drivvr AI into Automotive Retail

Eighteen-year automotive marketing agency leader joins Anshar Labs’ AI portfolio; Dan Moore appointed CEO of Drivvr AI

CHICAGO, July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Anshar Labs today announced it has acquired Dealer World, an established automotive marketing and dealer solutions company, and positioned it under Drivvr AI LLC, the firm’s automotive technology company. The acquisition brings 18 years of dealer relationships and industry expertise into Anshar Labs’ portfolio of AI-driven software businesses. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Dan Moore has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of Drivvr AI. Moore joined Dealer World three years ago and previously helped build VistaDash through two successful exits. He will lead Drivvr AI’s strategy, product development, and go-to-market operations, with Dealer World continuing as the company’s automotive marketing product.

The acquisition reflects a thesis Anshar Labs has pursued across industries: that the highest returns from artificial intelligence come not from building AI products in isolation, but from applying deep engineering capability to businesses that already own real customer demand and domain knowledge. Automotive retail, a sector where dealers manage fragmented technology stacks while competing on speed of customer response, presents exactly that opportunity.

“We look for businesses where AI can do something meaningful rather than something impressive, and Dealer World is precisely that. Eighteen years of dealer trust is not something you can engineer or acquire cheaply, and it is the hardest part of this equation to build. What we bring is the other half. Our engineering discipline applied to an industry that has been promised transformation for years and is finally ready to receive it. Dealer World fits directly into where Anshar Labs is going, which is toward operating companies where our AI capability compounds against real demand, not against a pitch deck. We could not be more excited about what this team has built and what we will build together.” Pinaki Saha, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Anshar Labs

Dealer World was founded 18 years ago by Troy Spring, who built the company into a full-service automotive marketing organization serving dealerships nationwide. Spring will depart following the transaction. Under Drivvr AI, the Dealer World brand and its client-facing teams will continue operating without interruption, with existing contracts, pricing, and service levels unchanged.

“The opportunity in front of us is larger than anything I have been part of. Dealerships today are drowning in tools that promise more leads and deliver more noise. What they need is not another dashboard. They need intelligence that ties the whole operation together and closes the gap between a customer raising their hand and a person actually helping them. Every hour in that gap is a deal lost to someone else. With Anshar Labs’ engineering behind us and eighteen years of knowing exactly what dealers need in front of us, we can finally build the thing this industry has been waiting for. That combination, real demand on one side and real engineering on the other, is rare. We intend to move fast.” Dan Moore, Chief Executive Officer, Drivvr AI

Drivvr AI will develop AI-driven products across marketing, customer engagement, and dealership operations, layered onto the services Dealer World clients use today. The company will be present at Ai4 2026, taking place August 4–6 at The Venetian in Las Vegas.

About Drivvr AI

Drivvr AI LLC is an automotive technology company building AI-driven software for dealerships. The Dealer World brand is the marketing product inside Drivvr AI, which is a company in the Anshar Labs portfolio.

About Anshar Labs

Anshar Labs is a technology holding company focused on delivering AI-driven software and automation solutions across multiple industries, helping organizations improve efficiency, scalability, and innovation. Companies under Anshar Labs include TekFlix, Graphit, CancerGo, Drivvr, Anshar AI, and Anshar Ventures.

SCORETRACKER® LIVE Brings Pro Tournament Fishing Excitement to Anglers & Organizers EverywhereBUBBA® Expands Its Smart Ecosystem with New Connected ProductsCatch the Action Live at the MLF ICAST Cup, July 14 in Kissimmee, Florida

COLUMBIA, Mo. and BENTON, Ky., July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BUBBA®, recognized as the official scale used by Major League Fishing (MLF), and renowned for its innovative Smart Fish Scales and mobile fishing app, together with MLF, the world’s largest tournament-fishing organization, today announced the official consumer launch of SCORETRACKER® LIVE, making the same real-time tournament scoring technology used by MLF Bass Pro Tour anglers available to tournament organizers, competitors, and fans everywhere through the BUBBA® app. Originally introduced at ICAST 2025, and vetted through extensive beta testing and real-world tournament use, SCORETRACKER® LIVE is now available to consumers nationwide through the BUBBA® app.

SCORETRACKER® LIVE
For years, SCORETRACKER® has transformed professional bass fishing by allowing anglers to see every catch instantly reflected on a live leaderboard, fundamentally changing tournament strategy and competition. Now, BUBBA® takes that same thrill beyond the professional ranks, allowing anyone to organize, compete, and spectate using live tournament scoring. Tournament organizers can easily create and manage custom events through the BUBBA® app, competitors can follow their position in real time throughout the day, and fans can experience live-action tournaments from virtually anywhere. Compatible with BUBBA® Smart Fish Scales, SCORETRACKER® LIVE supports catch-weigh-release tournaments, traditional five-fish formats, big-fish competitions, and scholastic or neighborhood team events, creating a more connected and engaging experience for everyone involved. 

The BUBBA® app and Pro Series Smart Fish Scale have been used in more than 91,000 hours of live scoring and leaderboards for MLF events, including the Bass Pro Tour, making SCORETRACKER® LIVE the most extensively field-tested tournament scoring platform in competitive fishing. The result is a tournament platform that combines connected hardware, software, and live competition into one seamless experience.

Expanding the BUBBA® Ecosystem
The official launch of SCORETRACKER® LIVE marks another step in BUBBA’s expanding connected fishing ecosystem. At ICAST, BUBBA® is introducing the new BUBBA Pro Series Smart Bump Board, which integrates with the BUBBA® app to capture and record fish length, giving length-based tournaments more options to score competitor catches. BUBBA® will also showcase the new BUBBA Tournament Weigh Station, providing tournament organizers with a durable, professional-grade weigh-in solution when paired with any BUBBA® smart scale. Together with the BUBBA® Smart Fish Scale, the BUBBA® app, and SCORETRACKER® LIVE, these innovations create an integrated ecosystem that brings together the entire tournament fishing experience — connecting organizers, competitors, and fans through every stage of competition, from registration and scoring to live leaderboard updates and spectator engagement.

“I’ve fished tournaments for more than 40 years, and MLF’s SCORETRACKER® is one of the biggest changes I’ve seen in competitive fishing. It has transformed how anglers compete and how fans follow the action in real time. Recently, we hosted the Reese Big Bass Battle with nearly 500 anglers, becoming the first event to utilize the BUBBA® MLF SCORETRACKER® LIVE system and the new BUBBA Weigh-In Station. From registration and payouts to live leaderboards and event management, everything was managed in one place. More importantly, anglers and fans stayed engaged throughout the day as standings are updated instantly. SCORETRACKER® LIVE brings a new level of excitement, strategy, and professionalism to tournament fishing — whether it’s a major event or a local club tournament.” – Skeet Reese, MLF Pro Angler

SCORETRACKER® LIVE will make its official consumer debut on July 14 during the ICAST Cup presented by Major League Fishing at Big Toho Marina in Kissimmee, Florida. Competing teams will become the first consumers to experience the platform in live, catch-weigh-release, tournament competition while helping raise funds for Keep America Fishing. Throughout ICAST, attendees can also experience demonstrations of SCORETRACKER® LIVE, the BUBBA Smart Bump Board, and the BUBBA Tournament Weigh Station at Booth #5139.
