These findings reinforce that regular aerobic exercise is an important tool in asthma management.

MILWAUKEE (PRWEB)
May 31, 2023

Supervised high-intensity interval training could reduce the need for inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in asthma patients who had not previously undergone this type of exercise, supporting exercise as a nonpharmacological component of asthma management. The finding comes from a new study published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice (JACI: In Practice), a journal of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI).

Researchers in Denmark compared adults with persistent asthma across two groups. The control group maintained their regular lifestyle while the exercise group underwent six months of ongoing supervised high-intensity exercise three times a week. Every second month during the study, a clinical algorithm based on symptom control was utilized with both groups to make adjustments to ICS doses.

A total of 150 individuals participated in the study, with 102 in the exercise group and 48 in the control group. After six months, 63.1% of participants in the exercise group had reduced their ICS dose by 25% or more, compared to 50% in the control group. “What this means is we saw a 24% reduction in daily ICS dose in the exercise group compared to the control group,” said Anders Pitzner-Fabricius, MD, PhD, corresponding author for the study. “We already know physical activity helps asthma control, but these results suggest it also can impact a patient’s reliance on ICS.”

Researchers also observed a reduction of -0.02 units in use of long-acting β2-agonists (LABA) in the exercise group compared to an increase of 0.24 units in the control group. The exercise group also reported higher rates of reduced symptoms and improved quality of life than the control group.

Sub-group analysis also found that patients in the exercise group with uncontrolled asthma, patients requiring oral corticosteroids 12 months prior to the study, and obese female patients were more likely to see a 2-step asthma treatment reduction than others in the exercise group or the control group as a whole.

The effects persisted after 12 months without negatively impacting patients’ asthma control. “We didn’t see any significant differences in asthma exacerbations between the two groups,” said Dr. Pitzner-Fabricius. “These findings reinforce that regular aerobic exercise is an important tool in asthma management.”

“Being recognized for this award early on is a big deal for OHM Fitness,” said Coba. “This franchise is already becoming a disruptor in the fitness industry and we expect it to continue to make a huge impact as locations begin to pop up in all major cities across the U.S. over the next year.”

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz (PRWEB)
May 31, 2023

OHM Fitness announced today the company was recognized with the prestigious 2023 Franchise Times Dealmakers Award, the 11th annual project recognizing the boldest players driving mergers and acquisitions in franchising.

OHM Fitness was recognized for attracting European Wax Center co-founder Joshua Coba as a minority investor, in addition to signing four large area developers. By the end of 2022 just six months after opening its first location in Scottsdale, OHM Fitness had secured area developers for five territories including Arizona, South Florida, San Diego, Washington D.C., and New Jersey.

Today, the fast-growing EMS fitness franchise has awarded the rights to ten territories totaling more than 150 future studios.

“OHM Fitness is honored to receive the 2023 Franchise Times Dealmakers Award so early in its development,” said OHM Fitness CEO and co-founder Doug Payne. “As soon as the news first broke in Franchise Times about a brand new concept called OHM Fitness, I was inundated with requests to chat from franchise friends and other experienced multi-unit franchisees from across the country. Through some of the deep relationships I have developed over my years of franchising, I have been fortunate that franchisees and area representatives have followed me on this OHM Fitness journey. This is just the start of what is going to be an electrifying ride!”

Coba’s partnership with OHM Fitness was a strategic move for the new franchise. Coba secured area developer rights, a minority ownership investment in the franchise, and has committed to serve as a board member for OHM Fitness in South Florida. Coba will oversee the development of 34 franchise licenses and he and his wife, Jenni, will open and operate multiple locations themselves. They will also assist OHM Fitness in selling the other licenses to qualified, multi-unit franchisees.

“I knew that Joshua would easily be a widely successful area representative, but the opportunity to bring him closer to the corporate structure was a strategic and important move,” said Payne.

Coba’s experience in scaling franchises and taking a company public are huge benefits to OHM Fitness and has helped the company to build a corporate infrastructure that serves its franchisees from the start, despite it still being early in the company’s formation.

“Being recognized for this award early on is a big deal for OHM Fitness,” said Coba. “This franchise is already becoming a disruptor in the fitness industry and we expect it to continue to make a huge impact as locations begin to pop up in all major cities across the U.S. over the next year.”

OHM Fitness is a special first-to-market franchise opportunity for entrepreneurs and experienced franchise industry professionals who are eager to capture their share in the $96 billion dollar fitness industry. The initial franchise fee is $39,000 and the total estimated initial investment ranges from $337,500 to $612,700.

Franchise Times Dealmakers is an editorial project and awards event designed to highlight excellence in buying and selling franchise companies to drive sustainable growth. Franchise Times calls for nominations in the fourth quarter of each year and presents the finalists to a panel of judges.

TimeDoc Health, a best-in-class solution provider for virtual care management, chronic condition management, and remote patient monitoring, has partnered with Premier Health Associates, a leading medical group representing 10 care specialties, continues to expand its technology and services across 14 locations.

TimeDoc Health’s virtual care workflow has been integrated into Premier Health Associates’ existing systems and EHR, providing a real-time look at patient health data, monitored by clinical professionals. Premier has been leveraging a combination of resources, including remote patient monitoring of high-risk and comorbidity patients. Premier Health Associates is able to increase operating capacity and decrease unnecessary in-person visits, particularly from patients living in rural communities.

“The pandemic exposed clear weak points in our system and how we care for patients,” said Premier Health Associates’ Chief Executive Officer David Bollard, DO. “With TimeDoc Health, we’ve found our rhythm in terms of when to escalate to an in-person visit and when we recognize our team can be just as efficient with a virtual care appointment. I can’t tell you how many times we used to treat patients for high blood pressure, when they were just anxious or stressed from the commute to the office. Now, we have the capability to get a patient’s reading before they leave their living room.”

Patients enrolled in a remote monitoring program demonstrated a 20.5% improvement in blood pressure control readings during a 10-week trial. This was made possible, in part, due to TimeDoc Health’s custom staffing structure. As part of the engagement, TimeDoc Health has supported Premier Health Associates’ existing Care Management team with four care coordinators. These experts have been responsible for flagging anomalies in patient data, coordinating new enrollment and ongoing issue management. The partnership between the Premier Health Associates’ care management staff and the TimeDoc Health care coordination team increases the flexibility needed to ensure that all patients receive specific interventions required to drive better outcomes.

Recent research suggests an increased level of patients relying on ‘telehealth’ to address minor illnesses, with 80% accessing some form of technology for care. In rural populations, 73% utilize telehealth for care.

“Virtual care management means giving patients more options and with it, reduced wait times to see a provider,” said TimeDoc Health Vice President of Clinical Strategy Sarah Cameron. “This has an equally powerful effect on the care teams that can focus precious time and resources on the patients and cases that have the most urgent needs. Premier Health Associates has a diverse patient population, spanning all generations, and we’re excited to support the innovative work they are doing to create greater access to care.”

About TimeDoc Health

TimeDoc Health, based in Chicago, Illinois, is a leader in virtual care management for healthcare organizations. The company enables providers to deliver truly continuous, comprehensive care by helping them establish care management programs for patients with chronic health conditions. The solution combines a care management SaaS platform with care coordination services for chronic care management, remote patient monitoring, and behavioral health integration.

Hospital capacity is a challenge for most health systems. Hospital-at-home and skilled nursing-at-home offer creative solutions to increase available hospital beds, improve clinical outcomes, and delight patients all at the same time…

MINNEAPOLIS (PRWEB)
May 31, 2023

Inbound Health, a company that enables health systems and health plans to offer hospital-at-home and skilled nursing-at-home programs, announced today it has expanded its Home Hospital Care program to include general surgery, including orthopedics, bariatrics, and hernia. This expansion builds upon the company’s success in hospital and skilled nursing-at-home care and marks a significant milestone in its growth.

Inbound Health first launched its orthopedic surgery platform in September 2020 and added spinal surgery in November 2020. Since then, its patient population in orthopedics has grown by 31% from 2021-2022, demonstrating the success of the platform. The company is now expanding its surgical care platform to include general surgery, which has already grown by 67% from 2021-2022.

“The Home Hospital Care program has been a game changer for our post-surgical foregut patients,” said Dr. Samy Maklad, General Surgeon. “With access to high-quality care and personalized attention from the comfort of their own homes, patients can recover faster from surgery, all while enjoying the peace of mind that comes with being under the care of our expert Home Hospital Care medical team. This innovative program represents the future of healthcare, and I am proud to offer it to my post-surgery patients.”

The addition of general surgery to Inbound Health’s platform will benefit patients and healthcare providers alike. Patients will have access to facility-level, post-surgical care for a wider range of surgical specialties in the comfort of their home, including bariatrics, and hernia, while healthcare providers can streamline their processes and improve quality and efficiency.

“Hospital capacity is a challenge for most health systems. Hospital-at-home and skilled nursing-at-home offer creative solutions to increase available hospital beds, improve clinical outcomes, and delight patients all at the same time. The home is also the safest place to receive care, as older adults benefit from lower rates of infection, falls, and delirium.” said Julia Crist, Inbound Health COO.

“Home Hospital Care, in partnership with Inbound Health, is a wonderful program for Allina Health,” said Dr. Bishoy Gad, Orthopedic Surgeon. “It has allowed us to transition more care to home which allowed us to continue to provide excellent care during the pandemic. It will continue to allow us to provide outstanding care for both acute and chronic issues that can be safely managed in the home, and has helped hospital systems manage capacity in the context of labor shortages. This program has allowed us to create an environment where some of our orthopedic total joint surgeons have transitioned up to 60% of their practice to ambulatory surgery centers, whereas in the past it was less than 5%. Home Hospital Care has been a game changer!”
