Clearwater Launches New Branding and Website Affirming its Continued Commitment to Serving the Cybersecurity and Compliance Needs of the Healthcare Industry

Leave a comment


Healthcare organizations need a strong cybersecurity and compliance partner now more than ever, We are proud to serve the industry as that partner, a firm that the entire ecosystem can rely on to help them minimize risk while responding to a rapidly changing landscape of new threats and regulations.


NASHVILLE, Tenn. (PRWEB)

Clearwater, a leading provider of cybersecurity and compliance solutions for healthcare organizations, announced today the launch of a new company website and brand identity that reflects continued growth and evolution as it has come together with previously acquired companies TECH LOCK and CynergisTek to serve the needs of the healthcare industry. The three companies, now operating as one under the Clearwater name and brand, are united by the common mission of helping organizations across the healthcare ecosystem move to a more secure, compliant, and resilient state so they can achieve the mission.

Customers are recognizing the value of the companies joining forces to serve their needs.

“Clearwater and CynergisTek are the same now,” commented a CISO-level client to KLAS researchers in an April 2023 interview. “They have done a lot of good work for us. The firm has been very receptive to our challenges, and they are addressing them very proactively.”

The combined company provides a deep pool of experts across a broad range of cybersecurity, privacy, and compliance domains, purpose-built software that enables efficient identification and management of cybersecurity and compliance risks, and a tech-enabled, 24x7x365 Security Operations Center with managed threat detection and response capabilities. These products and services are delivered through teams that are dedicated to supporting different segments of the healthcare industry, including hospitals and health systems, physician practice management groups, digital health companies, and medical device manufacturers.

“Clearwater knows who we are,” said a CIO-level client in another April 2023 KLAS interview. “They don’t just tell us what the industry says we should do; they know what we do. They know what acquisitions we do and who we are connected with. The firm brings in outside information and gives us road maps and things like that.”

With strong expertise and capabilities in HIPAA, HITRUST, PCI, DEA-EPCS, and CMMC, compliance-related concerns remain a central component of the company’s products and services. To reflect the company’s leadership in security, Clearwater has adopted the new website URL of clearwatersecurity.com and also changed the legal name of the company to Clearwater Security & Compliance LLC.

This past year, Clearwater was recognized by Black Book Market Research as healthcare’s top-rated Security Advisors and Consultants, and the company also appeared as #75 in MSSP Alert’s list of the Top 250 MSSPs globally. More recently, Clearwater won 2023 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards for Best Cybersecurity Solutions Consolidator and Best Security Risk Management for Healthcare.

“Clearwater has helped reduce our security risk quite a bit,” a Director-level client told KLAS researchers this past month. “We have had a lot of findings. Our cybersecurity insurance has provided more coverage because our security controls and governance are in such a better place.”

“Healthcare organizations need a strong cybersecurity and compliance partner now more than ever,” said Clearwater CEO Steve Cagle. “We are proud to serve the industry as that partner, a firm that the entire ecosystem can rely on to help them minimize risk while responding to a rapidly changing landscape of new threats and regulations.

“Clearwater takes every measure to protect the organizations and companies that are providing care to patients and advancing healthcare innovation through new technologies and services,” he continued. “We are adaptive, approachable, and proactive in ensuring our clients are secure, compliant, and resilient.”

William Shatner Wants You to “Love Your Ears” and is Giving Away Free Hearing Aids to Those in Need

Leave a comment


William Shatner has teamed up with HearingLife

“My hearing has been instrumental in living my life to the fullest. Whether it’s being on set, visiting outer space, or spending time on my ranch with my horses and loved ones, I’ve relied on my hearing to fully enjoy those experiences. Don’t miss out on life’s special moments due to hearing loss.”


SOMERSET, N.J. (PRWEB)

HearingLife, a leader in delivering life-changing, personalized hearing care, today announced the kickoff of its “Love Your Ears” give back campaign, in partnership with iconic actor, author, producer, director, musician and spokesperson, William Shatner, to celebrate Better Hearing and Speech Month this May. The effort seeks to help individuals with hearing loss gain back the joyful sounds they may be missing out on by giving free hearing aids to those in need and by providing education on the importance of hearing care. This is an especially pivotal time for people to focus on their hearing health, as hearing loss in the United States is expected to double to 73M by 2060.*

Hearing loss can prevent people from experiencing all the wonderful joys of life, yet only 1 in 5 people who would benefit from a hearing aid use one.** With hearing aids, people with hearing loss can hear life’s special moments and connect with friends and family again. Hearing is key to staying connected to experiences and relationships that bring joy, which is why starting today, May 2, 2023 through June 16, 2023, William Shatner is encouraging anyone in the United States to submit their story or nominate a loved one at http://www.HearingLife.com/GiveBack for a chance to receive free hearing aids.+

“Love your ears by caring for them,” said William Shatner. “My hearing has been instrumental in living my life to the fullest. Whether it’s being on set, visiting outer space, or spending time on my ranch with my horses and loved ones, I’ve relied on my hearing to fully enjoy those experiences. Don’t miss out on life’s special moments due to hearing loss.”

If you love your ears and treat your hearing loss, you should be able to reconnect to the people and things you love, and you may reduce other potential health risks. Research shows a connection between untreated hearing loss and depression, mental fatigue, reduced cognitive ability and possibly dementia. In fact, people with untreated hearing loss may have 2-3 times greater risk of developing dementia.***

Hearing health is as essential as other key areas of self-care, which is why HearingLife recommends all adults, particularly those aged 55+, receive regular hearing assessments as part of their annual health routine and checkups.

“Our Love Your Ears give back program will provide people the opportunity to live life to the fullest,” said Dean Pappous, President of HearingLife. “By improving just one person’s hearing loss, we are touching the lives of many by helping them remain connected to those who matter most.”

William Shatner is helping to give away free hearing aids this month to those who may not be able to afford them. For the opportunity to receive free hearing aids through “Love Your Ears,” anyone in the US can submit their personal story, or nominate a loved one, explaining how receiving hearing aids could make a difference in the quality of their life. To learn more and share your story, visit http://www.HearingLife.com/GiveBack or your local HearingLife center for a complimentary hearing assessment.

About HearingLife

HearingLife is a national hearing care company and part of the Demant Group, a global leader in hearing healthcare built on a heritage of care, health, and innovation since 1904. HearingLife operates nearly 700 hearing care centers across 42 states.

A group of new members are joining the Editorial Advisory Board of HMP Global’s Journal of Clinical Pathways (JCP), the leading peer-reviewed journal related to the development, implementation, and evaluation of clinical pathways.

Clinical pathways represent the uniting of real-world clinical and financial data with clinical practice as a means to drive precision and optimization of care for patients.

JCP features educational and informational articles in print and online, covering comparative-effectiveness research, big data analytics, methods in clinical pathway development, optimization of clinical pathway implementation and adherence, health economics and outcomes research, patient-centered outcomes, and alternative payment and value-based care models. It is the official journal of the Clinical Pathways Congress and Cancer Care Business Exchange.

As a result, JCP is positioned to address specifically the topic of clinical pathways as a component of a value-based care strategy, using evidence to drive treatment decisions, and the experience of health care stakeholders to provide high-quality care, control costs, and enhance patient engagement and satisfaction.”

Oshi Health Wins Prestigious Health Plan Innovation Roundtable (HPIR) Traction Award

Leave a comment


“This award is meaningful because it shows the industry is paying attention and actively searching for the solutions that are most effective in improving digestive health outcomes and economics,” said Sam Holliday, Oshi Health CEO


NEW YORK (PRWEB)

Oshi Health, the virtual specialty care company transforming gastrointestinal (GI) health outcomes and economics, has won the Spring 2023 Health Plan Innovation Roundtable (HPIR) Traction Award. The award, along with Oshi’s recent partnership with Aetna and its latest fundraising round, demonstrate the increased urgency of insurers and employers to address digestive health concerns and scale access to virtual multidisciplinary digestive healthcare.

HPIR’s Spring Summit brings together leading health plans from across the country to learn about innovative solutions and companies that advance the strategic priorities of health plan members. Participating companies are chosen as part of a competitive process and the Traction Award is given to each company that garners the most health plan interest within four distinct cohorts. Oshi was invited to present to all four cohorts and was the highest matching innovator of the spring 2023 cycle.

“This is an important validation of the Oshi Health approach to care delivery and our clinical impact,” said Sam Holliday, Oshi Health CEO. “Millions of people in America suffer needlessly from a wide range of treatable digestive issues, but cannot access the types of care that are most effective in resolving their symptoms. This award is meaningful because it shows the industry is paying attention and actively searching for the solutions that are most effective in improving digestive health outcomes and economics.”

HPIR was born out of the Employer Health Innovation Roundtable (EHIR) and includes a collaborative group of regional health plans and an innovation accelerator. It provides an intimate and collaborative forum for health plans to network and share challenges and ideas with peers. HPIR holds spring and fall sessions for members to hear from a select group of healthcare innovators.

Oshi Health’s virtual multidisciplinary digestive care model makes integrated care – including often-neglected dietary and psychosocial interventions – available 24×7 as a covered benefit. This groundbreaking approach to care is transforming digestive health, conditions that affect 25% of the population and drive significant avoidable costs.

Recent clinical trial results demonstrated 98% member satisfaction while achieving savings of $6,724 per patient in GI-related costs, and $10,292 per patient in all-cause healthcare costs after 6 months in the program. Patients also reported 1.3 fewer missed workdays per month and demonstrated lower healthcare utilization including a 64% reduction in GI-related emergency department visits.

Oshi Health also extends traditional gastroenterology practices in a hybrid collaborative care model that makes evidence-based care accessible in collaboration with their local gastroenterologist.

About EHIR

Employer Health Innovation Roundtable (EHIR), a World 50 company, consists of a private and independent network of the largest and most progressive employers, health plans, and provider health systems. Our Innovation Roundtables are designed to accelerate innovation and create a marketplace where leaders can assess emerging trends, solutions, and outcomes in a private environment amongst peers from globally respected organizations. Employer (EHIR) and Health Plan (HPIR) members collectively represent over 41 million lives and share a mission to accelerate the adoption of innovation for the sake of improving employee health, wellness, and productivity. Members convene throughout the year to share learnings and collectively review and evaluate new solutions with an intimate group of like-minded peers through a streamlined process.

About Oshi Health

Oshi Health is a completely redesigned digestive health care experience that transforms access to care, the patient experience, clinical outcomes, and healthcare economics. In a high-touch virtual care delivery model, Oshi Health provides diagnosis and integrated care for digestive conditions and empowers people to achieve lasting control of their symptoms. Launched in 2020, Oshi Health works with innovative employers, health insurance partners, health systems, and community GI practices to scale access to multidisciplinary care, reduce healthcare costs, and improve the lives of millions of Americans with chronic gastrointestinal diseases.

How Child Life Coaching and Counseling BOTH Support Children’s Mental Health

Leave a comment


Parents need to know that there are resources to support their children across the mental health continuum – including proactively building mental wellness. Child Life Coaches helps their children develop mindset skills for mental wellness so that they are confident and prepared to soar in life.


AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB)

In time for Mental Health Month this May 2023, Adventures in Wisdom Inc. has released an Infographic that shows how Child Life Coaching and Counseling both support children’s mental health. At a time when children’s mental health is worsening and counseling waiting lists are longer than ever, now is the time to understand the roles that child life coaching and counseling each play in supporting children’s mental health. The “Child Life Coaching & Counseling – How BOTH Support Children’s Mental Health” infographic is available here for download now.

In US Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy’s panel discussion “The Kids are not Alright – the Decline of Mental Health Among Youth” presented at the American Psychological Association 2022 conference, Dr. Murthy declared that mental health is his primary focus “because if we don’t rebuild this foundation for wellness in America, we aren’t going to do as well as a country…” Dr. Murthy added, “How our kids do in school is informed, guided, and empowered by their mental health and wellbeing.”

Dr. Murthy also discussed the struggle that parents across the country are having with getting help. He said, “I think one of the hardest things as parents is to see your child struggling and to not know what to do about it…They can’t get appointments to see mental health providers, even when they do get an appointment, it’s 6, 7, 8 months away… I just can’t think of any pain that’s worse for a parent than to see your child struggling and to feel like they can’t get them the help they need.”

“Parents need to know that there are resources to support their children across the mental health continuum,” said Renaye Thornborrow, founder of Adventures in Wisdom, a company that has certified hundreds of child life coaches in over 30 countries since 2013. “Life coaching for kids is part of the mental health solution that many people aren’t aware of, sitting within mental wellness on the continuum. Life coaches help kids develop mindset skills for resilience, self-esteem, confidence, self-leadership, achievement, and happiness so that kids can manage the ups and downs of growing up and thrive in life.”

The purpose of the infographic is to help people understand how child life coaching and counseling each support child mental health in different ways, and where they sit within the mental health continuum.
