CHESS Health, Pace Target Opioid Addiction with Advanced Technology

Leave a comment



ROCHESTER, N.Y. (PRWEB)

CHESS Health, the leading provider of addiction management technology, and PACE, a Delaware-based operator of drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs, are working together to offer all aspects of the CHESS platform to the PACE patient population.

PACE has been using the CHESS eRecovery solution since August of this year and quickly measured a 20% increase in treatment adherence among patients active with the Connections app. When surveyed, PACE’s patients gave the CHESS platform a 90% or better approval rating across multiple measures and 97% of all patients recommended PACE keep the Connections app as part of its treatment program.

In addition to eRecovery, PACE recently began offering eTherapy in its intensive outpatient (IOP) program; eTherapy is the CHESS evidence-based digital tool for teaching key recovery skills using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). PACE will also implement the CHESS eIntervention solution to coordinate care with other providers in the community, including MAT providers, as well as to engage prospective patients and their families.

“When I started my counseling work in 1986, if you told me that technology delivered over a phone could really help with addiction, I’d think you were crazy,” says Bruce Johnson, executive director of PACE. “The Connections app is so valuable for removing barriers to asking for help, and gets people plugged into a community faster. The entire CHESS platform is transforming how we treat patients and coordinate with the community.”

“Addiction management technology will help strengthen and extend the scope of the great work that PACE is already doing for its patients,” says Hans Morefield, chief executive officer of CHESS. “We are especially proud of the feedback from their patients – our mission every day is to improve the lives of individuals struggling with the disease of addiction.”

CHESS Health is the developer of the leading, evidence-based technology platform for the addiction management life cycle.

PLATO Releases new portable lighting Standard aimed at improving product quality

Leave a comment


News Image

“PLATO is in an even better position to add value to the portable lighting industry”


ST. PAUL, Minn. (PRWEB)

For the second time in three years, the Portable Lights American Trade Organization (PLATO), the largest internationally recognized consortium of global manufacturers in the portable lighting industry, today released a new Standard, the ANSI/PLATO FL 1-2019 Standard. The new Standard replaces the previous ANSI/PLATO FL 1 – 2016 Standard.

Developed by portable lighting manufacturers and industry experts and vetted by users and other stakeholders, the new ANSI approved Standard spells out specific testing, reporting and marketing methods for portable lighting products that emit directional light. The new Standard now includes area lights and refines specific lab testing procedures and conditions not addressed in previous versions of the Standard.

PLATO’s Executive Director, Andy Skoogman, said the ANSI/PLATO FL 1-2019 Standard reflects the organization’s commitment to monitoring, updating, and revising the standard to ensure it remains relevant to industry advancements. Skoogman also said this version, like previous versions of the Standard, continues to improve the transparency of marketing claims for consumers and the accountability of manufacturers.

“The ANSI/PLATO FL 1 -2019 Standard allows buyers to make solid comparisons of value and performance from all available suppliers of portable lights, including area lights,” Skoogman said. “The new Standard also reduces the chances that a supplier will make false or misleading claims about the performance of its products either by mistake or otherwise.”

The ANSI/PLATO FL 1 -2019 Standard focuses on the key critical testing metrics: beam distance, peak beam intensity, run time, impact resistance and water penetration protection. PLATO did not change the marketing icons with the release of the latest version of the Standard. The new standard is free to PLATO members. Non-PLATO members may purchase a copy for $500.

“We are confident the updated ANSI/PLATO FL 1-2019 Standard will assist manufacturers in ensuring their products are preforming as intended,” said PLATO President Kevin Parsons. “We feel it also sets a level playing field in helping end users and retailers make informed decisions about choosing a portable light that meets their needs. Overall, PLATO is in an even better position to add value to the portable lighting industry and our members.”

As an Accredited Standards Developer, PLATO is proud to have worked autonomously to revise the original ANSI/NEMA 2009 Standard both in 2016 and again in late 2019. PLATO’s Standard Committee led these efforts.

At the time the latest Standard was approved, the PLATO Standards Committee was composed of the following members:

ASP, Inc.

Coast

The Coleman Company, Inc. Energizer Holdings

Qtop USA

Petzl America

Streamlight, Inc.

Simple Products

Surefire LLC

Underwriters Laboratories

About:

The Portable Lights American Trade Organization (PLATO) is the largest internationally recognized consortium of global manufacturers in the portable lighting industry, which includes flashlights, headlights, bike lamps, area lights and spotlights. Our members are some of the most well- known and well-respected manufacturers in the world.

PLATO is also the standards development body responsible for the continued development and oversight of the Revised ANSI/PLATO FL-1 2019 Standard. The Standard spells out specific testing and reporting methods for portable lighting products that emit directional light.

“Rob has been instrumental in getting FLOAT off the ground – literally and figuratively,” said FLOAT co-founder Arnel Guiang. “His experience as a pilot and as an aviation executive is invaluable to the FLOAT team. He has started airlines, run airlines, flown the rich and famous on Lear Jets, and now he is sharing his insights on all things aviation and airline customer service to ensure a successful take-off of our dynamic company.”

FLOAT will soon be revealing the routes for commuters. These routes will leverage a network of nearly 40 airports across Southern California.

McKinney knows many of these routes well. McKinney has been flying for more than three decades. While most teens spend their 16th birthday learning to drive, McKinney was learning to fly.

“I flew solo for the first time at 16, and when I turned downwind and looked across the horizon, I realized what a beautiful and large world we live in,” said McKinney. “Learning to fly was a life-changing event for me, and now I hope to be a part of a life-changing urban aviation revolution, taking people out of their cars and flying them to and from their work.
