Published

on

Covenant HomeCare and Hospice, East TN’s largest home health provider, partners with Care Coordinations to enhance patient engagement and streamline operations. Integrating with HomeCare HomeBase, this innovative platform consolidates communication channels, automates workflows, and fosters secure interactions between care teams, patients, and families. This partnership exemplifies the future of value-based care, improving efficiency and strengthening relationships for exceptional care.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Covenant HomeCare and Hospice, the largest locally owned provider of home health and hospice services in East Tennessee, today announced a cutting-edge partnership with Care Coordinations, a company which provides technology solutions to enhance post-acute care.

Care Coordinations and Covenant HomeCare are creating new communications functionality within HomeCare HomeBase (HCHB), the electronic medical record (EMR) used by Covenant HomeCare. The Care Coordinations platform will consolidate multiple communication channels, enhance patient engagement, and significantly streamline clinical operations.

“This partnership empowers patients, families, and care teams to communicate seamlessly and securely, enabling us to deliver exceptional, high-quality care while streamlining operations.” – John Huskey, President of Covenant HomeCare and Hospice

A division of Covenant Health, Covenant HomeCare and Hospice serves over 5,000 patients annually, offering comprehensive in-home medical care, rehabilitation, and end-of-life services. Covenant HomeCare had identified a need to simplify internal and patient-facing communications. The division previously relied on separate non-integrated tools like text messages, emails, phone calls, voicemails, and other collaboration tools. Covenant engaged Care Coordinations to develop a unified, secure, and fully integrated solution.

“I’m very proud to announce that after multiple months of hard work and planning, we are live with Care Coordinations,” said John Huskey, President of Covenant HomeCare and Hospice. “This technology enables us to securely communicate regarding patients and operational tasks, while also allowing patients and caregivers to engage directly with the care team.”

The first-of-its-kind system automates the creation of patient-specific “care teams” channels as soon as a patient is entered into HCHB. It dynamically syncs episodic data and assigns participants according to Covenant’s defined workflows. The system also provides an interface for patients and families to request scheduling changes or demographic updates, which trigger automated workflows directly within HCHB. The result is improved efficiency, reduced administrative burdens, and a more engaging experience for agency staff, patients, and their families.

“All communication flows seamlessly into HomeCare HomeBase,” Huskey explained. “This evolution will eliminate non-secure texting, avoid messaging on multiple platforms that don’t integrate with HCHB and ensure that critical exchanges are easily accessible within the patient’s chart.”

“This partnership exemplifies the future of value-based care,” said TJ Patel, PT, DPT, founder of Care Coordinations. “It was the vision of Todd Robbins, Covenant Homecare’s Business Support Analyst, that set us on this path. Andrew Ostrander, our VP of Client Success and Sales, worked closely with him to shape that vision. Together, we’ve delivered a solution that not only enhances operational performance but also empowers patients and families to interact with their care teams more meaningfully. This allows clinicians to focus on what matters most: delivering exceptional, high-quality care.”

Robbins highlighted the challenges faced by home health and hospice field clinicians. “Field clinicians consistently encounter obstacles in communicating effectively and promptly with patients, families, and team members,” he said. “Concerns about privacy, security, and ensuring communications are accurately memorialized in the patient record are always top of mind.”

Robbins continued, “Care Coordinations empowers the care team, patients, and caregivers to communicate in a streamlined and protected fashion. By integrating the Care Coordinations platform with HomeCare HomeBase, we’ve enhanced our ability to document communications. This results in more detailed patient records and fosters stronger relationships. Better communication equals better care.”

In the coming months, both organizations will host webinars to share insights with other HCHB enterprise clients, gather feedback for future enhancements, and continue to advance care-at-home technology in alignment with industry trends and regulatory shifts.

BinBase Expands 2026 BIN Dataset with Instant Payout Intelligence for iGaming, Gambling, and Cross-Border Transfers

Published

on

By

BinBase updates its 2026 dataset with specialized Fast Funds, Visa Direct, and Mastercard MoneySend indicators to help iGaming operators and payout platforms execute seamless, instant card disbursements.

MIAMI, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — BinBase, a global provider of payment routing intelligence and card issuing data, has introduced specialized instant payout indicators as part of its upgraded 2026 BIN Database. Tailored for iGaming operators, online gambling platforms, crypto-to-fiat ramps, and payout aggregators, the updated dataset helps platform engineers streamline real-time card disbursements and Push-to-Card (P2C) transactions.

In high-velocity sectors such as online betting and gaming, instantaneous player payouts are a primary driver of customer retention. However, executing Push-to-Card transactions through protocols like Visa Direct and Mastercard MoneySend requires knowing whether the receiving card issuer supports Fast Funds for specific merchant category codes (MCCs). Attempting instant payouts on non-eligible cards leads to declined transactions, elevated processing fees, and poor user experiences.

The 2026 BinBase release solves this operational bottleneck by delivering dedicated attributes for real-time fund disbursements:

Fast Funds Eligibility: Granular indicators identifying domestic and cross-border Fast Funds support across global Visa and Mastercard ranges.Online Gambling Fast Funds (OG FF): Dedicated flags specifically identifying card ranges authorized to receive real-time gambling and betting payouts.Mastercard MoneySend & Visa Direct Indicators: Precise protocol compatibility markers (MS Ind & MT Ind) ensuring push transactions are routed only to eligible recipient cards.Direct Debit & Pull-Funds Support: Indicators for recurring collections and account-funding transactions.

“Player payouts in iGaming cannot wait for standard 2-to-3-day ACH settlements,” said a spokesperson for Damiko Inc. “By embedding our Fast Funds and Gambling FF flags into their payment engines, operators can instantly validate recipient cards before initiating a transfer, guaranteeing high success rates and instant liquidity for their users.”

Fintech engineers and payout architects can examine the full 29-field database schema and access a free 2026 sample dataset on GitHub.

Walnut Coding’s Young Coders Serve as ‘Instructors’ at Huawei Cloud Developer Training Camp

Ages 8 and 15, students showcase AI-era project-building skills from concept to working application

BEIJING, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Walnut Coding (the “Company”), a leading online platform for youth coding education, said two of its students – ages 8 and 15 – have joined the “instructor” lineup at Huawei Cloud Developer Training Camp, making them among the youngest “instructors” in the program’s history. The Company cites the pair as a prime example of how young learners can combine coding fundamentals with AI tools to turn ideas into working applications.

The two students, Bolin Du, 8, and Peiqi Gao, 15, built working applications using Huawei Cloud CodeArts, an AI coding assistant, then presented the projects to the training camp themselves – walking the audience through their design choices, technical builds, and debugging process.

The move lands at a moment when AI coding tools are forcing a rethink across the education sector. Tools that can generate functioning code from a plain-language prompt have undercut the traditional argument for teaching children to program – that they need the skill to build things themselves. Walnut Coding’s answer is that the more valuable skill now is judgment – knowing what problem to solve, breaking it into parts, and determining whether an AI’s output actually works.

Gao built a travel-planning application that generates routes, itineraries, and recommendations based on user input, handling the project end to end, from requirements and design through coding and debugging. Du, the younger of the two, built an interactive calendar application, using HTML for page structure, CSS for visual design, and JavaScript for interactive features. Both students then took on an instructor’s role at the camp, presenting their project goals and technical implementation to the audience – a step Walnut Coding says separated the work from a typical classroom assignment.

These were not classroom exercises but working projects, built and presented inside a professional developer-training environment. The experience demanded more from both students than simply producing something functional – they needed to articulate their reasoning, defend technical choices, and refine the final result under scrutiny. Their participation signals a broader shift underway in what youth coding education can deliver.

AI is making code generation easier, but it is also redrawing which skills actually matter. A student who relies only on one-click generation may get a rough prototype quickly, but still struggle to spot logical flaws, judge whether the output is reliable, or turn an abstract idea into a product that actually works. Students with programming foundations, by contrast, are better positioned to define requirements, evaluate what the AI produces, correct its errors, and treat the technology as a tool rather than a shortcut to lean on.

“AI can help children generate code faster, but it cannot decide for them what problem they should solve, nor can it make the final judgment about whether the result is truly effective,” said Pengxuan Zeng, founder and CEO of Walnut Coding. “What these two students demonstrated is not just coding technique, but the ability to define needs, break down tasks, verify outcomes, and turn an idea into a working product. That is why we believe young people still need to learn programming in the AI era.”

Walnut Coding structures its courses around that thesis, pairing student-led project work with teaching-assistant guidance and AI-assisted support. According to the Company, this data is continuously fed back into its systems to refine the personalization of AI-assisted feedback — a closed-loop process linking teaching, practice, feedback, and curriculum development.

The Company frames the payoffs less around producing professional software engineers than around a broader form of literacy. As AI continues to reshape how tasks get done, the ability to understand the technology, structure problems clearly and collaborate effectively with intelligent tools may prove one of the most durable skills a young learner can develop.

Walnut Coding says it plans to keep expanding opportunities for students to build practical projects, partner with industry technology platforms such as Huawei Cloud, and develop the core capabilities needed to build with technology in the AI era.
