Notes Mr. Waldron. “I have spent many years working with healthcare professionals to implement key leadership strategies, including measuring performance, in a way that translates into significant wins for various provider settings, including outpatient imaging centers.”

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (PRWEB)
November 30, 2021

RadSite™, a leading accreditation organization promoting quality-based imaging practices, announced its final webinar for the year: “Promoting the Patient Experience Through the Integration of Leadership Values–A Spotlight on Outpatient Imaging Centers.” The webinar will feature David J. Waldron, CEO of Traction Business Development LLC.

This webinar addresses the importance of a dynamic connection between imaging providers and their patients. Often the focus is on the equipment or quality management program and not on the patient experience. By using key patient satisfaction metrics, any imaging practice can promote and implement a more meaningful leadership model, which will not only improve patient satisfaction but will also improve the workplace environment, productivity, and performance. The presenters include:

• Featured Speaker: David J Waldron, CEO, Traction Business Development LLC
• Contributor: Mark Casner, RadSite Accreditation Committee Chair
• Moderator: Garry Carneal, JD, MA, RadSite President and CEO

The webinar is scheduled for December 8, 2021, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. (ET). Click here to register for this webinar.

“Imaging providers can improve quality and clinical outcomes by focusing more on the patient experience,” notes Mr. Waldron. “I have spent many years working with healthcare professionals to implement key leadership strategies, including measuring performance, in a way that translates into significant wins for various provider settings, including outpatient imaging centers.”

Designed to be extremely simple to use for consumers who are not familiar with self-testing, the SCoV-2 Ag Detect Rapid Self-Test, will soon be available for purchase without a prescription in major retail stores and online through e-commerce channels.

SEATTLE (PRWEB)
November 30, 2021

As the demand for fast, reliable self-tests for COVID-19 antigen remains high, InBios International Inc., a leading developer of diagnostic tests for emerging infectious diseases, announced today that it received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allowing the company to market its SCoV-2 Ag Detect Rapid Self-Test, a three-step home use antigen test for COVID-19 that provides results in ~20 minutes.

The nasal swab test, designed to be extremely simple to use for consumers who are not familiar with self-testing, will soon be available for purchase without a prescription in major retail stores and online through e-commerce channels. It may be used for self-testing by individuals 14 years and older, or with adult-collected nasal swabs from children as young as 2 years old. The test can be useful in a number of scenarios, helping an individual determine in three easy steps if they are safe to go to work, attend school or simply carry on with daily interactions with others.

The SCoV-2 Ag Detect Rapid Self-Test kit features the same SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen test that received an EUA from the FDA for use in professional settings in May 2021. The test, which can be purchased in single test or multi-pack configurations, features a unique ease-of-use patent-pending design and uses shallow nasal swabs with no instrumentation required to read results. It is designed for use with symptomatic and asymptomatic serial testing.

“As routine testing by rapid antigen tests has proven to be an effective tool in diagnosing COVID-19, self-administered tests that are accurate, fast and easy to perform serve as an early warning system, helping individuals determine their current health status and make good decisions to protect themselves, their families and their communities,” said Dr. Syamal Raychaudhuri, InBios’ chief scientific officer. “We’re pleased to continue to be able to add to our portfolio of COVID-19 diagnostics and meet the demand for rapid, at-home testing.”

The clinical performance of the SCoV-2 Ag Detect Rapid Self-Test, a lateral flow immunoassay intended for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 Nucleoprotein antigen, was evaluated in a simulated home environment study in the U.S. The study showed that the test accurately determined 85.71% of those who were positive (PPA) and 100% of those who were negative (NPA) for SARS-CoV-2 antigen for nasal swab samples collected from symptomatic patients within 5 days post symptom onset (PSO).

Funding to achieve EUA for the SCoV-2 Ag Detect Rapid Self-Test comes in part from a $12.7 million contract with the U.S. Army Medical Material Development Activity (USAMMDA) Warfighter Protection and Acute Care (WPAC) Program Management Office with funding provided by the Defense Health Agency (DHA) through the CARES Act and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response awarded in 2020 under contract W81XWH-16-D-0009/Task Order W81XWH-20-F-0253.

While the SCoV-2 Ag Detect Rapid Self-Test has not been FDA cleared or approved, it has been authorized by FDA under an EUA. This product has been authorized only for the detection of proteins from SARS-CoV-2, not for any other viruses or pathogens. The emergency use of this product is only authorized for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of in vitro diagnostics for detection and/or diagnosis of COVID-19 under Section 564(b)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the declaration is terminated or authorization is revoked sooner.

Heather Thomas

With Pet Wants, I can combine my love of healthcare with my passion for taking care of pets in a way that makes life even easier for my customers through personal delivery. – Heather Thomas

NEWPORT, R.I. (PRWEB)
November 29, 2021

Throughout her nursing career, Heather Thomas has always enjoyed working with patients to provide the most compassionate, comprehensive care possible. Now she’s looking forward to bringing that approach to her pet food and supplies company – Pet Wants Newport.

Pet Wants’ specially-crafted, private-label pet food formulas are made in small batches with fresh, natural ingredients enhanced with vitamins and minerals for a complete and balanced diet in every bowl, all made in the USA. Pet Wants Newport has multiple blends of dog and cat food formulas, treats, chews, as well as healing salve, calming balm, anti-itch spray, paw wax and more.

“I’m looking forward to getting to know the pet families in the area, talking to them about their pets needs and helping them find products I know they’ll love. With Pet Wants, I can combine my love of healthcare with my passion for taking care of pets in a way that makes life even easier for my customers through personal delivery,” Thomas said.

As a mobile business, Pet Wants Newport offers free, personal delivery to Somerset, Fall River, Bristol, Tiverton, Little Compton, Portsmouth, Middletown, Newport, Jamestown and the surrounding areas. Pet Wants has a money-back guarantee on the freshness and quality of the food, the company only sources the best salmon, chicken, lamb, brown rice and other ingredients available. There’s no sugar added, no fillers and no animal by-products and Pet Wants never uses corn, wheat, soy or dyes, which makes the food great for animals with allergies.

“We are healthy eaters, but I swear my dogs eat better than I do. It’s challenging because we are able to make our own decisions when it comes to nutrition, but our pets have to eat whatever we give them. Generally, if we eat healthier food, we’ll live longer, healthier lives. The same is true for our pets,” Thomas said.

Thomas is a Registered Nurse and, most recently, she worked for an in-home care company as their on-staff RN. While she enjoyed nursing, COVID took its toll and she was ready for a change. As she was thinking about her next steps, she went back 20 years to her favorite job… as a clerk at Petco.

“Being surrounded by people who are excited to talk about their pets is an amazing way to spend your day. I’m hoping to bring that kind of energy to my life with Pet Wants,” Thomas said. “I joined pet wants to help educate others about feeding good nutritious food to their pets. My mission is to educate my customers about the benefits of feeding high quality pet food and treats and to deliver the high quality pet food and treats right to their door.”

An external of locus of control is not only dispiriting, it’s also disempowering.

We always have the power of choice. This means that you can choose to continue to feel helpless, or you can choose to start taking charge.

MONTREAL (PRWEB)
November 30, 2021

Jackie Robinson didn’t watch baseball from the stands – he worked hard and tore down racial barriers to become the first African American baseball player in Major League Baseball. “Life,” Robinson expressed, “is not a spectator sport.” People who believe they have the power to change their life, to create their own destiny, have an “internal locus of control.” Those with an external orientation are more likely to feel like victims of fate, bad luck, other people, or other uncontrollable factors. They believe that no matter how hard they try, they will not succeed if society or the very universe is against them. As a study from PsychTests.com reveals, this type of outlook on life can be detrimental to a person’s happiness.

Analyzing data collected from 12,259 people who took the Emotional Intelligence Test, PsychTests’ researchers compared people with an external locus of control to those with an internal one. Here’s what the study revealed:

PEOPLE WITH AN EXTERNAL LOCUS OF CONTROL ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE LOW SELF-ESTEEM AND POOR SELF-CONFIDENCE

> 51% don’t feel confident about decisions unless they are endorsed by other people (compared to 9% of people with an internal LOC).

> 51% don’t know their strengths or what makes them special (compared to 5% of people with an internal LOC).

> 34% don’t even bother to set goals because they don’t believe they have the ability to achieve them (compared to 3% of people with an internal LOC).

> 39% believe they don’t deserve the success they have attained (compared to 4% of people with an internal LOC).

> 77% frequently experience self-doubt (compared to 8% of people with an internal LOC).

> 63% are harshly self-critical when they make a mistake or fail (compared to 8% of people with an internal LOC).

> 39% back down from challenges (compared to 4% of people with an internal LOC).

> 56% change who they are – their values, beliefs, attitude, appearance, and behavior – in order to please other people (compared to 9% of people with an internal LOC).

PEOPLE WITH AN EXTERNAL LOCUS OF CONTROL ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE PESSIMISTS AND CYNICS

> 68% won’t allow themselves to get their hopes up so that they don’t end up disappointed (compared to 16% of people with an internal LOC).

> 37% believe that the only way to get ahead is to “step on” (backstab or take advantage of) other people (compared to 14% of people with an internal LOC).

> 68% view their life as being just one problem after another (compared to 6% of people with an internal LOC).

> 75% overanalyze situations, creating problems that weren’t there before (compared to 27% of people with an internal LOC).

> 70% are terrified of the future (compared to 18% of people with an internal LOC).

PEOPLE WITH AN EXTERNAL LOCUS OF CONTROL TEND TO LACK RESILIENCE, SELF-CONTROL AND A SENSE OF PURPOSE

> 68% can’t figure out what they want out of life (compared to 6% of people with an internal LOC).

> 58% start projects or goals that they never finish (compared to 10% of people with an internal LOC).

> 64% struggle to bounce back from failure, rejection, or disappointment (compared to 8% of people with an internal LOC).

> 45% are currently undergoing therapy for depression, or suspect that they may be suffering from a depressive disorder (compared to 7% of people with an internal LOC).

> 49% are currently undergoing therapy for anxiety, or suspect that they may be suffering from an anxiety disorder (compared to 15% of people with an internal LOC).

> 50% have anger management issues (compared to 15% of people with an internal LOC).

> 62% get upset when even minor things go wrong in their life (compared to 6% of people with an internal LOC).

“It’s hard to go out and face the world when you feel like the world is against you – that’s what it’s like for people with an external locus of control,” explains Dr. Ilona Jerabek, president of PsychTests. “In extreme cases, this perspective can lead to a victim mentality. People with an external locus of control are persuaded that the state of their life and the circumstances that have led them here were not of their own doing, but the fault of other people or forces beyond their control. This is not the case, however. We always have the power of choice. This means that you can choose to continue to feel helpless, or you can choose to start taking charge. And the only way to regain a sense of control over your life is to stop pointing fingers and start taking responsibility for yourself. You are only a victim if you continue to believe you are.”

“To start shifting to a more internal locus of control, be on the lookout for black & white thinking,” continues Dr. Jerabek. “Look out for thoughts such as, ‘I always lose the momentum to exercise,’ or ‘I will never get the job I want,’ or “Now that I’ve developed a health issue, it’s all downhill from here.” Recognize these thoughts for what they are: it’s your habitual way of thinking that has kept you stuck in a rut for so long. Stop it in its tracks. You can even personify this way of thinking as a little goblin trying to scare you. You can then tell your goblin, ‘Sorry, but I know what you’re trying to do and it’s not going to work. You’re not going to sidetrack me. Get lost!’
