Leave a comment


In collaboration with new Vectorworks Partner Network member NCS Colour, the NCS+ Pro integration offers Vectorworks users access to the innovative web app that bridges impactful color work with desktop compatibility. With an NCS+ Pro subscription, the integration lets architects and interior designers identify, define and visualize NCS color concepts seamlessly into their Vectorworks projects, saving them time in developing color schemes and design iterations.

“NCS Colour is widely regarded as the global standard for exceptional color communication tools, and we are thrilled to offer our users the opportunity to access its extensive range of resources through this cutting-edge integration,” expressed Vectorworks Senior Industry Specialist, Interior Architecture Kesoon Chance. “The NCS+ Pro integration offers Vectorworks users an automated process, simplifying the development of color concepts in their projects and opening up new avenues for expressing their creativity.”

Powered by the science behind NCS – Natural Colour System®, NCS+ helps users get inspired, find the right colors and create mood boards throughout the design phase of a project. NCS color palettes can be directly imported from NCS+ Pro to the Vectorworks color palette manager for easy access. Additionally, NCS+ Pro allows users to capture colors from the real world, extract the closest NCS colors from inspiration images and photos, translate to and from NCS and other color systems, find harmonizing color combinations based on NCS similarities and collaborate with colleagues and clients.

“Embracing our core mission of simplifying design processes for our customers, NCS is proud to collaborate with Vectorworks as our first distribution partner of NCS+,” said NCS Colour CEO Elin Askfelt. “By making NCS+ accessible to Vectorworks users, we empower a global community of designers and architects to revolutionize their work with colors. With the smartness of the NCS System incorporated into NCS+, we transform the intricate task of color selection into an intuitive and enjoyable experience across all projects. Together, we’re reshaping the landscape of color design.”

The NCS+ Pro plugin can be installed via the Install Partner Product command within the Vectorworks platform.

For Architects, Landscape Architects and Landscape Designers

With an unwavering commitment to delivering a distinct data advantage, this latest update includes an additional feature for the new Fence and improved Railing tools. Each tool now incorporates new quantity take-off worksheet functions for more accuracy in your estimations.

Users will also find improved texturing of Railing, Hardscape and Fence objects for even better visual quality in both Shaded render and other Renderworks modes. Additionally, landscape architects and designers can now enjoy enhanced IFC support for Plants, Fence and Hardscape objects, fostering better collaboration opportunities.

For Lighting and Live Event Designers

Unifying the equipment and inventory tracking process in preproduction with the Equipment Lists feature is now even more comprehensive, with added support for Blended Screens and Stage Plugs. The Equipment Summary Key has also been updated with improved alignment of text and symbols and optimized sorting and expanding of items included in the dialog box.

BMI Imaging’s YouTube Channel, “The Digital Imaging Channel,” Releases Its 100th Video

Leave a comment


Videos include topics such as microfilm and microfiche scanning guides, physical security considerations, document scanning and disposal, how to prepare for a paper scanning project, and much, much more.

A new video is posted every third Thursday, keeping a steady flow of digital information flowing to subscribers and folks looking for answers. Will Whitney, head of Sales and Marketing, says that “digitization can seem like a black hole. We noticed that there’s not a lot of good information available for how to go about a scanning project, and especially not a lot of videos. We wanted to change that, and our goal with the Digital Imaging Channel was to make digitization more approachable and to show people that, although it can be difficult, these projects can be simple if you have a bit of knowledge about what you’re doing. We’re here to help, and our videos are one way we’re doing that for our audience.”

About BMI
BMI Imaging Systems (originally Bay Microfilm Incorporated) incorporated in 1958 as a microfilm service bureau, working with County Recorders to archive land records on microfilm. In the early 1960s, services were expanded to include preservation microfilming of the rare books and manuscripts of leading California Universities. A Library Microfilms Division was also established, working with over 200 newspaper publishers to preserve California local history for libraries and archivists. A reputation for service, precision, and reliability led to steady expansion of BMI’s government, education, and commercial clients over the next two decades. By the early 1990’s, the records management industry had entered the digital age and BMI was at the forefront of this evolution. Clients were meeting their electronic document management needs by having BMI digitize their records, with BMI installing and supporting on-site document management software solutions.

Today, BMI’s production capability includes two imaging facilities with a staff of more than 60 technicians. With a focus on quality, accuracy, security, and innovation, BMI provides custom solutions that fit the unique requirements of each of its customers. In addition to providing document/microform imaging and indexing services of the highest standard, BMI offers public tenant, private tenant, and CJIS (Criminal Justice Information Services)-compliant community cloud hosting services, enabling secure access to client data via the Web. BMI also provides systems integration services, implementing turnkey document capture, management, and workflow solutions.

United Breast Cancer Foundation’s Mattress and Pink Bag Event Gifts Tempur-Pedic® Mattresses and other helpful items to Breast Cancer Patients and Survivors

Leave a comment


Stephanie Mastroianni, UBCF’s President and Executive Director had this to share, “This is UBCF’s twelfth year of doing these events. Each year we grow and develop deeper relationships with a number of different Breast Cancer organizations, support groups, and volunteers, all to support women, men, and families managing breast cancer.” Stephanie continued, ” Partnership amongst nonprofit breast cancer groups works, it really works. And Team UBCF’s work with Twisted Pink is a top notch example of collaboration verse competition.”

While in the midst of recovery, sleep may not come easily. An old, uncomfortable or low-quality mattress can cause unwanted pressure points, body aches, joint and back pain. Sheryl, an event attendee shared, “Thank you so much! What you have done for myself, my family and my pink sisters is just about the most amazing thing. UBCF [has] helped so much – especially the beds, First good sleep in years! Forever grateful”

The day was beautiful and balmy, and by 8:45 am, cars were lined up with event attendees ready to receive the wonderful gift of a good night’s rest and Pink Bags full of goodies. Tia shared, “The United breast cancer foundation is a wonderful foundation. The staff really care about you. It is so nice to meet my pink sisters… I want to thank everyone for the Tempur Pedic mattress and the pink bag event!” And Tiffany wanted to share, “Thank you for the mattress and all the goodies! It is such a blessing during this difficult time in my family’s life. All the best.”

Twisted Pink’s Community Outreach Coordinator, Stephanie Jones, shared “It was truly amazing to witness the overwhelming appreciation from the recipients and shoppers at the UBCF Mattress and Pink Bag Event®. We could literally see relief on their faces on this day of support from the United Breast Cancer Foundation. It’s always heartwarming to be a part of these events and this one specifically has made a significant impact on the breast cancer community in and around Louisville, KY. We are deeply grateful for UBCF’s dedication to providing such essential assistance to these families.”

UBCF welcomed hundreds of patients and survivors throughout the day as they enjoyed complimentary “shopping”. Each event attendee had a personal shopper as they selected items supportive to their own personal experiences. Some of the items offered included linens, clothing, shoes, jewelry, makeup, hair care, handbags, socks, scarves, seasonal items and children’s items.

UBCF understands the lasting effects cancer has on an individual and their family. Kathy shared, “My family and I literally would not have survived without UBCF. They have stood with me throughout my entire cancer journey and are still standing strong with me. Thank you, UBCF, for EVERYTHING!”

Sharon was a young mother when she was first diagnosed. “This is truly a blessing for us all. Looking at the crowds it puts me in awe at how many of us are fighting the fight. I was 34 with 3 young children when I began this fight. Now I am 48. Thank you for all you do… We appreciate you.”

“The hard work of our franchise development team is evident through this ranking,” commented Chaney. “We seek passionate franchisees who have a genuine desire to provide care for their communities, and the impact of this passion behind the brand is really clear in the growth we’ve experienced.”

SeamlessMD Recognized as the Top Solution to Improve Outcomes in KLAS 2023 Emerging Solutions Top 20 Report

Leave a comment


SeamlessMD was ranked the number one solution for the category to improve outcomes and selected as one of the top three solutions across the remaining three categories – reduce the cost of care, improve the patient experience, and improve the clinician experience. According to the report, SeamlessMD “could have a potentially game-changing impact to help the patient post-procedure and provide meaningful information on procedure-specific patient recovery to help further guide protocols. There are many nuances to any given procedure, and post-procedure visits do not sufficiently capture more than that point in time”. The report also noted, “Obtaining patient-reported outcomes data at a large scale is very difficult; however, this data is critical for improving healthcare. Although a health system could do what this vendor does with their own EMR and patient portal, the time it would take to develop a robust system is cost and time prohibitive.”

“We are honored to be recognized by KLAS and prominent healthcare leaders for our efforts to automate the delivery of digital care across all patient populations including the underserved with our Digital Care Journey platform,” said Dr. Joshua Liu, CEO and Co-founder, SeamlessMD. “One of our core tenants since our inception has been to help health systems improve outcomes by reducing high-cost services like readmissions, ED visits, and phone calls. Through collaboration with our health system partners we have been able to demonstrate that our platform can reduce costs of care by $1,000 to $8,000 per patient episode, readmissions by 45-72%, ED visits by 72%, phone calls by 50-65% and hospital length of stay by 1-5 days, and this award further validates that our solution is delivering value and is essential to the industry.”

The SeamlessMD Digital Care Journey platform is the first and only solution of its kind to have direct, turn-key integration partnerships with Epic, Oracle Cerner, and MEDITECH to enable integrated user experiences, it has the largest body of clinical evidence with 35+ clinical studies/evaluations, and the platform boosts an extensive library of out-of-the box, evidence-based care plans enabling rapid deployment. Extending beyond patient communications, the platform delivers personalized interactive patient education, instructions, reminders, symptom questionnaires, and step-by-step guidance that empowers patients to manage their own care while providers can remote monitor patients reducing the burden on care teams and improving clinical workflow efficiencies.

“KLAS strongly believes in the transformative potential of technology in healthcare. So, we take great pride in investigating innovative, emerging technology solutions. Our goal is to help providers navigate the buzz surrounding emerging technology and showcase the solutions that have the greatest potential to truly change healthcare for the better. Our latest Top 20 report underscores these solutions and brings transparency to what’s new in the market,” said Adam Gale, CEO, KLAS.
