Weekly Wrap - September 5, 2025

In this week’s episode of HealthCap Weekly Wrap, we take a closer look at the growing wave of oversight and accountability in skilled nursing, including new CMS audits of MDS data and an OIG evaluation of medical directors. We also unpack the latest Liberty Mutual Senior Care Claims Study and reporting from McKnight’s, which reveal liability claim costs have doubled over the past decade, with the steepest risks for skilled nursing communities. But it’s not all heavy news—we highlight a practical communication strategy from the CALTCM blog that helps providers stay aligned and strengthen trust with families. Finally, we share two important clinical updates: a CDC report on shifting norovirus strains and a Medical Journal of Australia study on smartphone-activated volunteer responders improving cardiac arrest survival.
