New Resources Share Progress of Essential Hospitals toward Community-Integrated Care

Leave a comment


While community-integrated health care can seem like a daunting goal, our Milestones resource breaks this concept into specific action steps.


WASHINGTON (PRWEB)

Nearly 80 percent of essential hospitals—those with a mission to care for vulnerable people—have made a public commitment to address social determinants of health (SDOH), such as homelessness and community infrastructure, new resources from Essential Hospitals Institute show.

The Institute, the research and education arm of America’s Essential Hospitals, found that essential hospitals overall are building capacity for community-integrated health care (CIHC), defined as health care providers working with the government, social services, and other sectors in complementary and collaborative ways to improve health. Essential hospitals accomplish this through organizational commitment; workforce development; community engagement; external partnerships; health information technology and data; and finance and investment.

One resource, Outside the Hospital Walls: An Update on Essential Hospitals’ Efforts to Improve the Health of Their Communities, expands on the Institute’s foundational research in 2016 about essential hospitals’ work to improve SDOH. The latest phase of research, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, included a survey of more than 40 population health leaders at essential hospitals and interviews with 25 hospital representatives.

The Institute found hospitals increasingly see themselves as responsible for caring for all people in a specific geographic area—not just those who come through their doors—and have developed community partnerships that respond to social needs and underlying conditions. Forty-seven percent of survey respondents reported working to change community conditions for housing instability, and 40 percent reported doing so for community infrastructure.

The report also highlights a growth in partnerships between essential hospitals and community-based organizations. Data sharing between hospitals and community partners increased by 30 percentage points from 2016 to 2019, the Institute survey revealed.

But barriers to CIHC remain, including long-term funding solutions, limited external partner capacity, and difficulty sharing and visualizing data. To help hospitals better understand the components of CIHC, the Institute published a companion resource: Milestones for Community-Integrated Health Care at Essential Hospitals.

“While CIHC can seem like a daunting goal, our Milestones resource breaks this concept into specific action steps,” said Kalpana Ramiah, DrPH, MSc, vice president of innovation at America’s Essential Hospitals and director of the Institute. “We hope this list can aid hospitals as they introduce a CIHC model or expand on previous work.”

Stratus Video and Zoom Video Communications Have Teamed Up to Bring Video Remote Interpreters into Telehealth Calls at Novant Health

Leave a comment


Stratus Video

Telehealth services have previously been unavailable to the limited English proficiency population. Through Stratus Video’s interoperability with Zoom, LEP patients can now receive equitable care.


CLEARWATER, Fla. (PRWEB)

Stratus Video, an industry leader in innovative language services, announced today that they have teamed up with Zoom Video Communications, a video-first unified communications platform. The technology interop between Stratus Video and Zoom allows healthcare providers to add medically qualified interpreters to telehealth calls with patients who do not speak English. This program is up and running at Novant Health, a not-for-profit, integrated healthcare system that handles more than 200,000 LEP encounters annually. This communication solution will help Novant Health and other healthcare facilities across the nation to achieve health equity for their LEP patients.

The Stratus Video technology platform is encrypted and HIPAA compliant, making it a natural complement to Zoom’s exemplary telehealth solution. The Zoom unified communications platform supports multi-party video calls, making it easy for Stratus Video interpreters to join and facilitate conversations between LEP patients and their healthcare providers. Telehealth helps to save time and effort, and reduces the risk of hospital-born infections that patients may be exposed to during follow-up visits. Telehealth services have previously been unavailable to the LEP population, but through this interoperability LEP patients can now reap the same telehealth benefits as English speaking patients.

“We were thrilled to roll out this integration across our hospitals and clinics,” said Pedro Mendez, Director Corp Language and Cultural Services at Novant Health, “LEP patients deserve the same level of care that English speakers receive, and this partnership gets us one step closer to providing completely equitable care.”

“We are excited to help bring telehealth services to the LEP population,” said David Fetterolf, Stratus Video President.

Auto Insurance 2020 – What Factors Influence The Costs Of Liability Car Insurance

Leave a comment


News Image

“Liability coverage is a must for every driver. Buying more than the minimum is, however, up to you”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that presents the main rating factors used by companies to determine car insurance rates.

For more info and free auto insurance quotes online, check https://compare-autoinsurance.org/top-factors-that-affect-auto-liability-insurance-prices/

Before issuing a policy, companies will carefully scan the potential client. Some factors are extremely relevant and will influence the overall costs. These are:


  • Local car insurance legislation. Each state, except New Hampshire, imposes a minimum liability insurance responsibility in order to legally drive inside that state. As the state is the one who imposes the minimum liability requirements, the minimum price of liability insurance is not up to the policyholder. Depending on which state he lives and the imposed minimum requirements, the minimum price of liability can vary a lot. It is up to the driver to decide if he/she wants to carry more than just the minimum imposed limit.

  • Policyholder’s driving history. For insurance companies the driving history of a customer is critical, to determine his premium rates. Depending on past traffic violations and claims, the insurer can decide to increase or decrease the price paid on the liability insurance. Keep in mind that insurance is a risk-based business and companies want to compensate for providing insurance to higher-risk drivers.

  • The insured vehicle. There are a number of factors concerning the vehicle that can influence the price of liability insurance. Factors like car ownership, car make, model, age, installed safety devices, installed anti-theft devices, safety rating, value, condition, play a significant role when an insurer determines liability insurance rates. For example, a slightly used SUV, or family van will pay lower liability insurance rates than a new imported sports car.

  • The coverage limits selected by the policyholder. It’s up to the policyholder to decide the coverage limits, thus increasing or decreasing the overall costs. Online rates calculators allow users to simulate different coverage limits and receive cost estimates really fast


Compare-autoinsurance.org is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website.

Bellus Academy Launches Student Assistance Program to Support Mental Health and Help Students Navigate Life and Work Challenges

Leave a comment


“We realized we had an assistance program for our employees, but no such resource existed for students. This program is all about helping the student address a concern before it becomes a crisis that preempts a student’s education and ultimately achieving their career goal.”


SAN DIEGO (PRWEB)

As mental-health issues ranging from stress, depression and anxiety to crisis situations continue to rise on U.S. college campuses, Bellus Academy is launching a Student Assistance Program at its California and Kansas academies. In partnership with Morneau Shepell, a leading provider of technology-enabled human resources services, the Bellus Academy Student Assistance Program provides 24-hour, 7-days a week telephone and web access along with face-to-face counseling sessions for Bellus Academy students.

The Student Assistance Program addresses a sharp increase in depression and anxiety reported by students across the nation. A November 2019 report in University Business magazine noted the percentage of college students with previous diagnoses or treatments for depression increased from approximately 9% in 2009 to more than 20% in 2019. Last year, California passed a budget allocating $5.2 million for improving mental health services in the University of California system. Beyond serious mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety, everyday stresses can hinder a student’s ability to perform well in school. The Student Assistance Program at Bellus Academy aims to mitigate concerns before they reach a level that prompts a student to leave school.

The program was inspired by Lynelle Lynch, owner of Bellus Academy. “We realized we had an assistance program for our employees, but no such resource existed for students,” Lynch said. “This program is all about helping the student address a concern before it becomes a crisis that preempts a student’s education and ultimately achieving their career goal.” The confidential support services are provided at no cost and can help students address a range of emotional and relational challenges including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and support for child/elder care. The program also provides tools to strengthen relationships and improve communication and work toward life goals.

The services are introduced to students during orientation. “The San Diego community has many resources in place to assist with crisis situations, but our goal is to help students cope with issues before they become a crisis,” says Lauri Miville, director of people and culture at Bellus Academy. Morneau Shepell worked to develop a program – based on the success of its existing employee assistance program, LifeWorks, as well as its domestic and international student support programs – that was tailored to the needs of Bellus Academy’s student population. “In today’s increasingly fast-paced world, it can be challenging to practice self-care while balancing responsibilities at work and obligations at home,” says Miville. “This program helps to address the challenge.”

About Bellus Academy: Honored with the Intercoiffure Mondial Best Continental Academy award in 2015, Bellus Academy is an award-winning beauty and wellness institution dedicated to graduating career-ready professionals. Bellus Academy continues to partner with the highest caliber of experts, product lines and equipment manufacturers, raising the bar for educational training worldwide.
