Certification Scholarships and Innovative Retention Program Address Critical Health Need

INDIANAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Humana Healthy Horizons in Indiana, Humana’s Medicaid managed care plan, is collaborating with HealthStream (Nasdaq: HSTM), a leading healthcare technology platform company for clinical workforce solutions, to improve the lives of Hoosiers who rely on home-based healthcare.

To help address persistent caregiver shortages and high turnover, Humana is sponsoring 1,000 Home Health Aide (HHA) scholarships, removing financial and access barriers for individuals seeking to enter the caregiving profession. Developed with HealthStream and delivered through their Career Network, myCNAjobs.com, the program focuses on expanding the pipeline of qualified caregivers, particularly in rural and underserved communities.

Home care providers face an average annual turnover rate of 77%, creating challenges for both caregivers and older adults who depend on consistent support. Research has shown that robust training programs can dramatically improve workforce retention, with trained home care aides more than twice as likely to remain employed after three months and 64% more likely to remain employed after six months compared with workers who did not receive similar training.

“Expanding access to training is one of the most direct ways we can grow and stabilize the caregiving workforce, particularly in rural and underserved communities,” said Anna Dunn, Medicaid Plan President, Humana Healthy Horizons in Indiana. “Through our collaboration with HealthStream, we’re making it easier for individuals to enter the profession while helping providers build and retain strong teams, thereby addressing gaps in care for Hoosiers who previously lacked access to home-based health services.”

The scholarship program is part of a broader initiative launched in 2024 to improve workforce stability and care continuity across Indiana’s home care network. The initiative was originally developed with MissionCare Collective, which was acquired by HealthStream in December 2025.

Supporting Providers with Tools, Technology and Training

To further address the critical caregiver turnover issue for people who depend on in-home care, the collaboration between Humana and HealthStream equips home care providers with tools and resources to improve recruitment and retention, including:

Access to a large, statewide caregiver network to support hiring, made available via HealthStream’s Career Network: myCNAjobs.com
Workforce engagement technology and predictive analytics through HealthStream’s CoachUp Care™ application to identify and retain at-risk staff
Education programs and best practice training focused on improving caregiver retention

Early Results Demonstrate Improved Workforce Stability

Initial results from Humana’s implementation of CoachUp Care™ show meaningful progress:

81% of participating providers achieved higher-than-average caregiver retention
43% average increase in retention among providers that improved
86% workforce engagement reflects strong caregiver demand for connection and support

The improvements in retention and turnover reduction increase quality and consistency in care for older adults. The multiple elements of Humana’s relationship with HealthStream enable providers to build stronger, more stable teams while driving positive health outcomes.

“By combining expanded caregiver pathways with data-driven workforce solutions, we’re helping create a more resilient home care system,” Dunn added. “Our work together with HealthStream is already delivering results that will make a meaningful difference in the lives of Hoosiers across the state.”
