Two Years as Propelus, Twenty Years Powering Healthcare Compliance
Written by Julie Walker, CEO at Propelus This month, we’re celebrating Propelus’s second birthday – a milestone that also reflects on a much longer story: two decades dedicated to making healthcare work better. In August 2023, we launched the Propelus brand with a new, unified name built on our long-standing mission to simplify healthcare operations and compliance for the professionals who care for others. Now, two years in, we’re honoring more than just a brand anniversary. We’re celebrating 20 years of expertise, innovation, and partnership across healthcare. As we celebrate, we want to share a few meaningful reflections: two things we’re proud of, two lessons we’ve learned, two values that shaped our year, and two goals we’re setting for year three. Join us in a celebration of our journey so far and a look ahead to what’s next. Two Things We’re Proud Of: Our Unwavering Commitment to Our Values and Their Impact: We are incredibly proud of our core values and how they guide everything we do, ensuring we stay true to our goal of simplifying healthcare operations and compliance. These values aren’t just words on a wall. They’re the foundation of the trust we’ve built with our partners and the consistency behind every solution we deliver. Our Customers – Champions and Allies in Healthcare: We are immensely proud of our customers and the millions of professionals and lives we’ve impacted and supported. Their dedication inspires us daily. We’re also proud of our strong relationships, as evidenced by our exceptional customer retention rate and the average number of years our business and consumer customers have engaged with us. Across our solutions, we cover more than 7+ million professionals, a testament to our collective reach and impact. Two Lessons Learned Along the Way: At the Center of Everything We Do is the Professional: This fundamental principle constantly reminds us that our solutions must empower and support not only the healthcare professionals on the front lines of care, but also the many others who power healthcare — HR teams, medical staff professionals, regulators, and administrators — whose work is essential to delivering safe, effective care. When we focus on the needs of the full healthcare ecosystem, we develop solutions that not only simplify processes but truly make a difference in their lives. Innovation Isn’t About Novelty – It’s About Impact. Building on our foundation of continuous improvement, we’ve realized that achieving truly transformative outcomes in healthcare requires more than just refining existing processes; it demands a strategic embrace of cutting-edge solutions across multiple dimensions. These past few years have profoundly illustrated how integrating advanced technologies, leveraging comprehensive data and intelligence, ensuring seamless connectivity, and cultivating unique partnerships can fundamentally elevate the standard of care and deliver a measurable, positive impact on the entire healthcare ecosystem. Two Values That Shaped Propelus This Year: While Propelus is guided by five core values, two have especially influenced our journey over the past year: Embrace Life-Centricity and Commit to Continuous Improvement. We recognize that healthcare professionals and organizations operate in a complex world, and embracing that complexity with empathy and adaptability helps us create meaningful solutions. At the same time, our commitment to learning, resilience, and progress drives us to continually improve, better serving those who depend on us. These values have strengthened our partnerships, inspired our team, and fueled our mission to make healthcare compliance easier and more effective. Two Goals for Year 3: Our journey doesn’t stop here. As we move into year three, we’re focused on: Enhancing Solutions to Deliver Even Greater Value: We aim to further develop our existing products, to provide deeper insights, more robust features, and seamless experiences that directly address the evolving needs of healthcare professionals. By proactively anticipating and addressing emerging healthcare challenges, we continue to raise the standard and ensure our solutions not only meet the needs of today, but evolve with the demands of tomorrow. Expanding Our Reach and Impact to Support a Wider Healthcare Ecosystem: We plan to explore new partnerships, expand into underserved segments of the healthcare market, and continue to amplify the voices of healthcare professionals. Our goal is to empower more individuals and organizations with the tools and resources they need to navigate compliance challenges and improve patient outcomes. Every update, every product, every conversation with our customers comes back to one goal: helping make healthcare work better for everyone. Lastly, A Heartfelt Thank You: To our incredible customers, partners, and dedicated team: thank you for being an essential part of our journey. Whether you’ve been with us from our very first steps or just recently joined us, we are genuinely proud to support your mission and incredibly grateful for your trust. As we celebrate two years as Propelus and twenty years of collective impact, we’re filled with excitement for all the possibilities ahead. Your partnership fuels our passion, and we can’t wait to share what’s next. Here’s to transforming healthcare – for good. Happy Birthday, Propelus! Follow Julie Walker, CEO at Propelus, on Linkedin.

June Government Relations Update: Federal Legislative Activity, the CDC, and State Policy Highlights
By Kelly Parker, Vice President of External Affairs and Government Relations, Propelus Welcome to the June 2025 edition of our monthly Government Relations Update, your go-to source for navigating the evolving landscape of nationwide legislative and policy initiatives. This month has seen significant movement in healthcare policy at both the federal and state levels, with a focus on workforce flexibility, artificial intelligence in healthcare, licensure reforms, and more. Here’s a rundown of the key updates. Federal Legislative Activity Two notable bills are making their way through Congress, aiming to enhance the flexibility and oversight of healthcare professionals. Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) introduced the Strategic Teams for Organized Response Mobilization (STORM) Act (S.1701), which seeks to enable the use of healthcare workforce platforms during emergencies and coordinate with states to waive in-state licensure requirements for out-of-state professionals. This legislation also emphasizes the development of model procedures for licensure waivers and the provision of liability protections for workforce platforms. Separately, Representative Jen Kiggans (R-VA) introduced H.R. 3636, which directs the Department of Defense (DoD) to create a centralized system for verifying healthcare professional licenses within DoD medical facilities, aiming for a rapid verification process. CDC Advisory Committee Changes In a significant development, US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dismissed all 17 members of the Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC’s) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which advises on the vaccine schedule and immunization coverage. This move, effective June 10, aims to “reestablish public confidence in vaccine science” and ensure the new committee members “prioritize public health and evidence-based medicine.” New appointees include a diverse group of medical and scientific professionals. State Policy Highlights States are actively shaping the future of healthcare through various legislative efforts. Here are some updates across key areas. Artificial Intelligence & Health Care Illinois – HB 1806 (Wellness and Oversight for Psychological Resources Act): This bill, which has passed the state legislature, regulates the use of AI in therapy and psychotherapy. It allows licensed professionals to use AI as a support tool but prohibits AI systems from independent client interaction, therapeutic decision-making, or generating treatment plans without professional review. Louisiana – HR 313: This resolution urges Congress to ensure physicians retain full control over medical decision-making, define national standards for AI in healthcare, and prioritize patient safety and data privacy. Interstate Compacts The trend of states joining interstate compacts continues to grow, facilitating cross-state practice for healthcare professionals. Pennsylvania – HB 668: The Pennsylvania House passed legislation to join the National Counseling Compact, which would allow licensed counselors to practice across state lines. The bill now moves to the Senate. Iowa – HF 300: Signed into law on May 27, this bill enters Iowa into the Physician Assistant Licensure Compact, making it the 17th member state. Healthcare Fraud Texas – HB 4012: A proposed “bounty-style” system allowing private citizens to sue over alleged healthcare fraud failed to advance in the legislative session. Licensure & Regulation Tennessee – HB 979: Enacted on May 21, and effective January 1, 2026, this law creates licensure for Anesthesiologist Assistants (AAs) under the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners. Oklahoma – HB 2298: Despite a gubernatorial veto, this bill was enacted and takes effect November 1, 2025. It grants nurses full practice authority and independent prescriptive authority, removing mandated physician oversight. Texas – SB 912: Enacted on June 20 and effective September 1, 2025, this legislation mandates all healthcare licensing boards to implement modernized continuing education (CE) verification systems and confirm CE compliance before license renewals. Telemedicine Efforts to establish telehealth registry-only systems without requiring full state licensure failed during the 2025 legislative sessions in Texas, Wyoming, and Montana. These updates highlight a dynamic legislative landscape, underscoring the ongoing efforts to adapt healthcare policy to evolving needs, technologies, and workforce demands. Stay tuned for more developments in the coming months!

How a Regional Healthcare Network Improved Compliance & Efficiency by 90%
Overview A large regional healthcare network based in the Northeastern United States recognized the critical importance of ensuring their licensed professionals met all compliance requirements. This involved the verification and ongoing monitoring of licenses, certifications, and registrations from various governing authorities. The following success story details their efforts to streamline these essential processes. It’s been one of the best decisions we’ve made. Identifying expiring licenses quickly and sharing that information is invaluable.” – Executive Assistant, Rehabilitation Hospital, part of the Regional Healthcare Network The Challenge of Manual Processes Committed to compliance and efficiency, the large regional healthcare network identified issues within its manual license verification and management processes. These processes involved cross-referencing employee licensure on the Department of Public Health and other issuing boards’ websites and emailing supervisors about upcoming license expirations. This was time-consuming, taking approximately 10-20 hours per month per colleague, and created risks of errors and oversights that could lead to employees working with expired licenses. The manual system also limited the capacity to manage a growing staff efficiently. The Propelus Solution: EverCheck Since its initial adoption in April 2020, the team has significantly enhanced its utilization of the EverCheck platform. Today, it leverages EverCheck’s capabilities, including compliance dashboards, comprehensive reporting functionalities, and timely system notifications, to meticulously track the status of licenses, certifications, and registrations, ensuring ongoing compliance. “Transitioning to EverCheck has streamlined the process immensely,” said the network’s executive assistant. “With a quick glance, I can identify upcoming expirations and proactively address them, ensuring our team remains compliant and our operations run smoothly.” The Results By implementing EverCheck, the regional healthcare network improved compliance and significantly reduced the time and effort required for primary source verification. Reflecting on the transformative impact of EverCheck, the executive assistant said, “It has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. The ability to quickly identify expiring licenses and share that vital information with our team is invaluable. Plus, it frees us up to work on other projects.” By transitioning from a manual license verification process, which previously consumed 20 hours per month, to utilizing EverCheck, the healthcare network now manages the process for a mere 2 hours monthly. This reduction represents an impressive 90% increase in efficiency. Not only does this streamlined approach allow for greater efficiency within their workflow, but it also translates to substantial cost savings in labor hours. With this newfound efficiency, the regional network’s team was able to reallocate valuable resources toward other critical areas of operations, ultimately enhancing productivity and driving organizational success. Conclusion The adoption of EverCheck by the regional healthcare network revolutionized the license verification processes, significantly reducing manual effort, mitigating compliance risks, and enhancing data accuracy. Their insights underscore the value of proactive adoption of technology solutions in optimizing healthcare operations and ensuring regulatory compliance.

Tips and Tools for New Nurses
Adjusting to a new career is a significant step, and in nursing, the transition is unique. Unlike many other professions, new nurses often find themselves immediately immersed in the demanding hospital environment. Long shifts, dynamic schedules, and the constant responsibility of patient care can feel overwhelming. But here’s the good news: you’re not alone. We understand the challenges you face, and we’re dedicated to ensuring you feel prepared, confident, and supported as you embark on this vital career. Think of us as being right there with you, saying, “We got you.” With insights and resources focused on your success, safety, and well-being, we aim to make your transition a smooth and positive one. This blog will guide you through what to expect in your first month, offering crucial success strategies, essential tools for your initial days, vital self-care advice, and key professional development resources. Propelus – and our suite of solutions (CE Broker, EverCheck, and our Data Solutions) – is here to help you confidently move from the classroom to making a real difference in patient care. What New Nurses Bring to the Team Your nursing education and clinical rotations have laid a strong foundation, providing you with practical experience in the hospital setting and patient care. These experiences are invaluable as you begin your career. The pace at which your responsibilities grow will depend on the healthcare facility’s needs and structure. Ideally, your first week will involve crucial onboarding processes, including understanding policies and procedures. Many organizations offer a nursing orientation to help you acclimate to their specific environment. This often includes in-depth training on electronic health records and opportunities to practice using the system. You’ll likely be paired with a mentor or preceptor – someone dedicated to supporting you and answering your questions during this initial phase. As your first month progresses, those initial nerves should begin to ease, and you’ll develop the confidence to take on more independent responsibilities. From monitoring vital signs and assessing patient conditions to administering medications, documenting care accurately, communicating effectively with the healthcare team, and providing essential patient support, you are equipped to make a meaningful impact. We’re here to support you every step of the way, ensuring you feel secure and ready. 6 Keys to Thriving as a New Nurse The fast-paced and demanding nature of nursing is well-known. Fortunately, these strategies can help you not just survive but thrive as you begin your professional journey. We’re in your corner, offering these tips to help you navigate this new chapter. 1. Build Connections Through Respect and Professionalism Every successful healthcare team relies on strong communication and positive relationships. As a new nurse, your daily interactions will involve a diverse group of professionals. Introducing yourself clearly, remembering names, and offering a respectful and professional demeanor are fundamental to building trust and rapport. These connections will not only make your transition smoother but also contribute to a more supportive patient care environment. We believe in the power of connection, and we know you’ll build strong ones. 2. Lean on Experienced Guidance for Support and Growth Finding a mentor early in your career is invaluable. An experienced nurse can offer practical advice, share insights into best practices, help you navigate challenging situations, and guide your professional growth. This mentorship can provide crucial support in balancing your personal and professional life while achieving your career aspirations. Seek out a mentor who understands the demands and rewards of nursing – someone who’s been there and can offer a guiding hand. 3. Prioritize Clarity for Optimal Patient Care Asking questions is not a sign of inexperience; it demonstrates a commitment to providing safe and effective care. In healthcare, clarity is paramount. Never hesitate to ask for clarification on procedures, medication administration, or any aspect of patient care you are unsure about. This proactive approach is crucial for preventing errors and ensuring the best possible outcomes for your patients. We’re here to say, it’s okay to ask – it shows you care. 4. Double-Check Everything for Accuracy and Confidence In the healthcare setting, accuracy is non-negotiable. From documenting vital signs to administering medications, double-checking all information is essential for patient safety. Remember that hospital policies and procedures can vary, so always verify information to prevent inconsistencies and potential errors. This meticulous approach will build your confidence and ensure you’re providing the best possible care. 5. Master Time Management for Efficient and Focused Care Delivery Effective time management and task prioritization are critical in the busy healthcare environment. As you manage multiple patients, organizing tasks based on urgency and importance is vital. Prioritizing patients with immediate needs and time-sensitive tasks ensures that all patients receive timely and appropriate care. Efficient time management will help you feel more in control and less overwhelmed. 6. Invest in Continuous Learning and Maintain Your Credentials Your nursing education doesn’t end with graduation. The healthcare field is constantly evolving, with new research, technologies, and best practices emerging. Pursuing specializations and earning certifications demonstrates your dedication to excellence and your commitment to providing the highest quality care. Remember to stay proactive in maintaining these credentials to ensure ongoing growth and competence. CE Broker by Propelus, our compliance management platform, can help. CE Broker simplifies continuing education (CE) tracking and management for licensed professionals, as well as offers personalized and automated solutions for monitoring renewal requirements, completing courses, and reaching compliance with confidence.

How workforce compliance solutions improve employee experience in a digital-first world
In collaboration with Becker’s Healthcare. The healthcare industry is facing enormous workforce challenges, with the average hospital turning over 106% of its workforce in the last five years. Such high turnover has staggering cost implications. Among those costs are expenses related to credential compliance. And if the urgency to recruit new employees causes organizations to make any mistakes related to credentialing compliance, fines from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) can further elevate those costs. During a featured session at the Becker’s Healthcare Human Resources + Talent Virtual Event sponsored by Propelus, Julie Walker, CEO of Propelus, moderated a discussion with Warren Mott, VP for HR service delivery and technology at Ochsner Health (Jefferson, La.), and Valerie Wiegele, director for regulatory assurance at Providence (Renton, Wash.). The panel discussion – called Enhancing the employee experience: Navigating HR & workforce compliance in the digital world – centered on strategies for transforming compliance processes in ways that remove friction and improve the employee experience.

Dedicated to Care: Inspiring Stories of Pediatric Care from the Propelus Team
A Tribute to National Children’s Health Month National Children’s Health Month, observed every October, is a wonderful moment to reflect on the incredible impact that pediatric care and children’s hospitals have on our lives. At Propelus, we are deeply committed to protecting vulnerable populations and supporting healthcare professionals. This month, we celebrate the remarkable work being done in pediatric care by sharing personal stories from our team members. Through these narratives, we aim to honor the dedication and compassion of those who work tirelessly to care for our youngest patients, celebrating the resilience and profound impact of pediatric care on our communities. Propelus stories A Mother’s Gratitude: Finding Comfort in My Son’s Surgery at Wolfson Children’s Hospital Bonnie Cobb, Sr. People Operations Manager at Propelus When my son needed surgery as a one-year-old, I felt so blessed to have Nemours Children’s Health and Wolfson Children’s hospital nearby. They are beautiful facilities staffed by endlessly caring professionals that made the whole experience as easy as possible. I’ll always remember the kindness the staff at Wolfson showed my son, and I especially appreciated how the nurse carried him in her arms back to the surgery area. At that time, my son had never been in the care of anyone other than family. Having her carry him like that gave both him and me the comfort we needed in that moment. Easing Stays for a Frequent Flier: My Childhood Journey at CCH Genevieve Terrall, Group Product Manager at Propelus As a frequent flier of Connecticut Children’s Hospital, I got used to the hospital food, the poking and prodding, and the constant stream of new treatments. However, all of the folks that I interacted with from respiratory techs to nurses to my doctors all showed up with the understanding that in order to make me feel more comfortable, they weren’t going to use big words and weird terms to tell me what was happening – they were going to bring me into the conversation to alleviate the fear around being away from home while not feeling well. It means that every time I’d get sick and have to go back, a little less nerve wracking. Being in the hospital as a little kid is scary. However, each member of the team at CCH validated that it was uncomfortable to be away from home and it was okay to feel sad that you haven’t seen a parent or sibling in days, allowing me to feel heard and hopeful that I would get back home. I had nurses who would remember my favorite popsicles and doctors who would talk to me about what I wanted to do when I was home with my little brothers. Most memorably, the respiratory techs would have me sing songs while wearing my vibrating vest. These professionals consistently go the extra mile to help children remain children while also being patients. Their dedication and care is truly unmatched, and I’ll remain thankful for them for the rest of my life. A Mother’s Heartfelt Thanks: Holistic Support for Our Son’s ADHD & Anxiety at Nationwide Children’s Hospital Stephanie Pavol, Director of Growth Marketing at Propelus Nationwide Children’s Hospital has been a great resource in helping my son with his ADHD and anxiety. The diagnosis process was really in-depth and covered a lot, but they made my son feel comfortable throughout the whole process. And they were able to offer a multi-pronged treatment approach from talk therapy to Occupational Therapy. We’re so lucky to have such an amazing organization for children’s health here in Columbus, Ohio. Their in-depth experience and amount of resources made all the difference with my son’s treatment plan. Nationwide Children’s is a leader in behavioral health, as exemplified by their national On Our Sleeves campaign. Their team was extremely knowledgeable and supportive. My son is healthy and thriving academically, behaviorally and in other areas. A Miracle of Care: My Survival Story Thanks to Kansas City’s Research Hospital Kevin McNeall, Senior Sales Executive at Propelus When I was born I had Jaundice, in 1969, which was more significant than it is today. I also had a collapsed lung. My dad told me that you could see my spine when I would inhale. I was not expected to leave the hospital alive and was baptized in the NICU. Because of new technology at the time and the commitment of the doctors and nurses at the hospital, I survived, and they are the reason I get to share my story. I remember my folks talking about the care and support they felt throughout my illness, and they attributed my survival to their [Kansas City’s Research Hospital’s] care. Grateful for Lifesaving Care: Our Journey as New Parents at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital Karen Griffin, Product Marketing Director at Propelus When my oldest son was 8-months-old, he had meningitis. The person who actually first caught it was a student working at our pediatrician’s office. After getting a second opinion from our pediatrician, we were rushed over to Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital in Nashville where he had a spinal tap procedure to verify the diagnosis. It was a very scary experience for us as we were young parents of our first baby. When the results came back positive, he was admitted to the hospital, and we received the best care. I remember the hospital staff was there when we first got all set up in the hospital room and made sure we knew the latest updates to his condition.
