DynamiCare Digital Therapeutic

After 50 years of research, it’s about time that addiction treatment catches up with modern medicine and adopts objective behavioral health ‘vital signs’ to guide treatment planning

BOSTON (PRWEB)
November 16, 2021

DynamiCare Health, a digital health company for substance use disorder, has been awarded a Fast-Track Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Grant from the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH). DynamiCare will receive up to a total of approximately $2 million over the course of three years if project milestones are met. The grant will support a large-scale randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of incentivizing addiction treatment providers to adopt underutilized evidence-based practices.

DynamiCare has developed a digital therapeutic that automates contingency management, an evidence-based intervention for enhancing motivation in early recovery from substance use disorders. Contingency management provides small, frequent rewards for staying sober and engaging in treatment. Despite over 100 randomized controlled trials showing effectiveness, contingency management is rarely used by addiction treatment providers. A recent JAMA paper found that “contingency management may generate significant societal cost savings and, more importantly, save numerous lives.” With the State of California making a major push for this new approach, and the Biden administration’s drug czar’s office listing the methodology as a Year 1 Drug Policy Priority, the time is right for this low-effort, high-rigor technology to promote dissemination and provider adoption.

One barrier to adoption has been the lack of a billing pathway for providers to be reimbursed for delivering this service. This research study will test financially incentivizing addiction treatment specialists to integrate DynamiCare’s contingency management program into their practice and collaborate on care. DynamiCare’s digital therapeutic has already demonstrated doubling-to-tripling of quit rates in 3 clinical trials. In this study, buprenorphine prescribers will be incentivized to review their patients’ behavioral performance data. Both measurement-based care and contingency management have been proven to boost outcomes. If this incentivized collaborative care study is successful, it could lead to new billing codes and widespread integration of contingency management into routine care.

“After 50 years of research, it’s about time that addiction treatment catches up with modern medicine and adopts objective behavioral health ‘vital signs’ to guide treatment planning,” said David R. Gastfriend M.D., DFASAM, Chief Medical Officer of DynamiCare Health, and Co-Principal Investigator on the study. “A simple referral and quick data review at each visit is all it takes. Now that technology makes treatment-by-data easy, we hope physicians and other buprenorphine prescribers will join us in studying how best to achieve practice change.”

DynamiCare Health is partnering with Western Michigan University and RTI International, a nonprofit research institute, to conduct the research. Anthony DeFulio PhD, Associate Professor of Psychology at Western Michigan University, will serve as Co-Principal Investigator on the study.

“Adding Amazon Business as a punchout in Hybrent will make it easier for organizations to purchase the supplies they need quickly…This makes Amazon Business one of the most valuable suppliers available within Hybrent.”

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. (PRWEB)
November 16, 2021

Hybrent, a supply chain management technology company in the non-acute healthcare industry, is excited to announce a new collaboration with Amazon Business. Combining the selection, convenience and value of shopping on Amazon with Hybrent’s purchasing software creates a seamless ordering process for healthcare facilities.

Added as a “punchout” in the Hybrent system, Amazon Business’ online store can be accessed from inside of Hybrent’s procurement platform. With one click, Hybrent customers can make purchases from Amazon Business without leaving the Hybrent ordering system, providing an enhanced customer experience for users.

“Adding Amazon Business as a punchout in Hybrent will make it easier for organizations to purchase the supplies they need quickly and with the appropriate controls in place,” said Micah McClelland, President of Hybrent. “This makes Amazon Business one of the most valuable suppliers available within Hybrent.”

Hybrent’s software provides customers with one portal that offers shopping, order automation, approvals, order tracking & confirmations, e-receive, invoice matching, contract management, AP and clinical integrations and extensive reporting tools. Including the Amazon Business punchout, customers can save time ordering the supplies they need to care for their patients.

“Historically, managing supply spend for non-acute facilities has been a lower priority to patient care,” said McClelland. “But healthcare organizations are looking for ways to control their overall costs and supplies are a great place to start. Additionally, staffing has become a huge issue for many healthcare facilities. Automating purchasing processes can alleviate a lot of the stress these organizations are facing right now. Amazon Business is now a key part of this solution for Hybrent customers.”

The Amazon Business punchout feature is easily implemented and currently available to all Hybrent users.

The Mingle Mask®️™️ is a clear face-covering that’s ergonomically designed for easy breathing and comfort.

Whether you’re going to the gym, school, work or a restaurant, the Mingle Mask combo pack is a gamechanger. Consumers can breathe easier, show their smiles and makeup won’t rub off.

CHICAGO (PRWEB)
November 16, 2021

With mask wearing still a mandate in most states, Mingle Mask, the world’s first-to-market invisible face mask, today released a limited edition combo pack featuring two original Mingle Mask’s and two Mingle Mask 2’s. Perfect for helping mitigate Covid-19 transmission and the spread of respiratory pathogens during cold and flu season.

The original Mingle Mask is a transparent, high-quality shield that covers the face and nose. However, unlike a traditional plastic shield that hangs from the top of the forehead and extends below the chin, Mingle Mask fits like a traditional mask. Stretchable loops fit comfortably around the ears offering a secure fit without irritating the skin.

An innovative chin guard comfortably rests against the face, ensuring eyeglasses never fog up. The chin guard also helps keep material away from the face, making it easy to wear lipstick and makeup and keeping the face cooler.

Mingle Mask 2 offers the same durability and comfort as the original Mingle Mask but features a closer fit around the nose and mouth. Like the original Mingle Mask, Mingle Mask 2 provides wearers ample room to breathe and talk, uses an anti-fog clear premium plastic and is extremely comfortable to wear all day long.

“Whether you’re going to the gym, school, work or a restaurant, the Mingle Mask combo pack is a gamechanger in the face coverings industry,” said Rick Sutton, founder and CEO of Mingle Mask. “Consumers can have the best of all worlds. A breathable, lightweight open face shield for when masks are not required but the person still wants to stay vigilant and protected, and a more secure, well-fitted face mask for when masks are required but the wearer still wants airflow and to visibly show their smiles. Both products reduce health concerns and stops the spread of virus-packed droplets to other people.”

Mingle Mask and Mingle Mask 2 are both one-size-fits-all and fit any face shape. Both Mingle Mask face coverings keep materials away from the face, preventing clogged pores and makeup from rubbing off. Each mask is also designed to keep consumers cooler, especially on hot days or in non-airconditioned spaces. Each mask uses Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved materials and is reusable and recyclable. Masks are also easy to clean and sanitize in-between uses.

“Mingle Mask’s innovative design is ideal for consumers who want to attend large social gatherings or events,” said Sutton. “They also solve the problem for retail, foodservice, health care and hospitality businesses who are required to follow the mask mandate, want to protect their workforce but their position requires socializing with guests and providing mask-friendly customer service.”

The Mingle Mask and Mingle Mask 2 limited edition combo pack of four is available for an SRP of $11.99 at theminglemaskusa.com. Mingle Mask products are also available in packs of six, 10, 25 and 50 here and on Amazon. Mingle Mask offers a bulk purchase program to meet the needs of retailers, businesses and organizations throughout North America.

ARCOLA, Ill. (PRWEB)
November 16, 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has no doubt changed the way we live. The “new normal,” as so frequently referenced, did not pass over Americans’ cleaning habits, as a recent online survey conducted by The Libman Company, a leading brand of household and commercial cleaning tools, suggests that COVID-19 has driven more frequent household cleanings and a desire for a do-it-yourself approach, with nearly all respondents suggesting they would prefer to clean their homes themselves.

According to the survey, which encompassed males and females aged 25 to 54 in the U.S., COVID-19 is driving an increase in daily cleaning, with a 27% boost in this practice against pre-COVID cleaning practices. The most cleaned spaces? Countertops and door knobs/handles are being cleaned most often, followed by bathroom sinks, toilets, kitchen sinks and floors.

The COVID-19 pandemic has also shifted homeowners’ reliance on outside cleaning support –95% of survey respondents said they prefer to clean their homes themselves.

This do-it-yourself approach, coupled with the desire to properly clean and sanitize surfaces to help reduce the risk of germs and protect those in the household, has driven homeowners to arm themselves with new cleaning tools. According to the survey, homeowners have added liquid bleach and bleach-infused cleaning solutions, antibacterial aerosol sprays and disposable products such as wipes and toilet brush wands to their cleaning arsenal, joining tried-and-true cleaning solutions like brooms, dust pans, mops, buckets and non-bleach multi-purpose cleaners. Among respondents, multi-surface cleaners, liquid bleach and antibacterial aerosol sprays took the top three spots as the most important cleaning products to have on-hand.

The question is…does the COVID cleanse have sticking power? Survey says nearly 9 out of 10 people plan to continue their cleaning habits, regardless of the pandemic, with hand washing/use of sanitizer, wiping down surfaces and giving the home a thorough cleaning leading the charge for the practices that will be continued most often.

35% of hiring managers automatically reject resumes without a Covid-19 Vax Status

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)
November 16, 2021

Hiring managers want to know that you have been vaccinated against the novel coronavirus, even when their companies do not require vaccination as a condition of employment. That’s the central takeaway from a major new survey of 1,379 hiring managers published by career-development experts ResumeOK.

Nearly three quarters of all hiring managers prefer to see a candidate’s vaccination status listed on their resume. This preference may have real consequences: the study found that 35% of hiring managers summarily reject resumes that do not list vaccination status, and that 86% are likelier to contact a candidate whose resume indicates that they are vaccinated.

Similarly, 86% of companies with more than 100 employees reported a preference for vaccinated employees, while 55% of smaller companies claimed that vaccination status does not matter. This may reflect a recent shift in priorities. While the federal vaccination mandate for larger companies faces legal challenges, hiring managers have tended to be conservative. Of the hiring managers who prioritize vaccination status, only 32% reported doing so before the federal mandate was announced; 68% reported that the prospect of a federal mandate influenced their decision.

“This is a difficult time for everyone, including hiring managers,” notes ResumeOK CEO Felix T. Web. “Our study shows that 73% of hiring managers find it more difficult to identify good candidates since the pandemic struck.

“Yet only 23% of all job seekers list their vaccination status. Compare that to roughly 60% of the entire US population, and it’s easy to see how job seekers can set themselves apart by taking one easy step. That’s the sort of insight ResumeOK has been delivering to its clients for more than ten years.”

Full results of the survey are available on ResumeOK’s website. Learn more about the survey and its methodology by visiting the site.

Since 2011, ResumeOK has helped more than 10 million people build resumes that help them achieve their career goals. The company offers a completely free online resume builder and personal consultation with successful career experts.
