We are pleased to announce that Polsinelli Online Solutions for Home Care LLC (POSH), an online compliance platform that offers home-based care providers a comprehensive one-stop source for industry-specific guidance and state-specific forms and documents, is now being offered as a member benefit by the Rhode Island Partnership for Home Care (The Partnership), a statewide trade association for organizations and individuals who provide or promote health care and supportive services in the home.

This partnership is another example of POSH collaborating with leading home care associations to provide exceptional benefits to their members, ensuring they have access to essential compliance tools and resources needed to navigate the industry's evolving regulatory landscape.

The Partnership has procured a significant benefit to its membership by proactively purchasing a subscription on their behalf, ensuring seamless access to POSH for its entire membership. This approach not only enhances member benefits but also serves as a model for other state associations looking to provide comprehensive resources to their communities.

“The Partnership’s unprecedented action of securing a POSH subscription for each of its members is a true testament to the association’s commitment to compliance with federal and state laws and dedication to it’s members,” said POSH Executive Director and Polsinelli Co-Chair of the Home Health, Home Care and Hospice Practice Angelo Spinola.

“This collaboration ensures that every Provider Member company of the Rhode Island Partnership for Home Care is empowered with critical legal and operational tools at their fingertips,” said Nicholas Oliver, MPA, CAE, Executive Director of the Rhode Island Partnership for Home Care. “By investing in access to POSH, we are enhancing in our investments toward the continual success, sustainability and legal preparedness of home care, home health and hospice providers throughout our state. As the first arrangement of its kind involving POSH and a trade association, The Partnership is demonstrating a model agreement in which we hope that other state home care and hospice associations across the United States will follow for their members.”
