True Terpenes recognizes the importance of food safety throughout the food supply chain at all stages: sourcing, storage, handling, processing, packaging, and distribution.

“There just isn’t a better way to keep tainted or mal-intended products off the market. We’ve seen time and again, product bans and regulatory gaps further empower the illicit market. It’s not fair to consumers or the many companies who are creating good, clean products.”

PORTLAND, Ore. (PRWEB)
November 06, 2019

By implementing world-class safety and quality systems, True Terpenes becomes the only botanical terpene supply company to earn the coveted ISO 9001:2015 and FSSC 22000 certifications. True Terpenes is also third party GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) audited, recently garnering a score of 97 percent. This comes as a needed win for an industry struggling with ongoing quality and consumer safety issues. It may also help set the bar for regulations to come.

“This is all in alignment with our goal of becoming the most trusted supplier in the cannabis industry. It also has opened the door to work with large non-cannabis companies that are interested in the cannabis angle but require high-level supply chain control,” says True Terpenes CEO, Chris Campagna.

True Terpenes is a Portland, Oregon based company that specializes in providing custom terpene-based aromatic flavors. It currently supplies its flavor-meets-function ingredients to brands in cannabis, food, beverage, wellness, alcohol and beyond. The company is best known for their Precision Strain Profiles which replicate the taste, aroma and effects of cannabis utilizing terpenes from other botanicals such as lavender (Linalool), hops (Beta-Caryophyllene) or pine (Alpha Pinene). This allows craft product developers to bring the essence and effect of beloved cannabis strains such as OG Kush to non-THC goods such as a seltzers, topicals or even beer.

“If THC and CBD are the gas pedal powering the entourage effect, terpenes would be the steering wheel directing where you go. We’re excited to guide businesses along their terpene journey.” says True Terpenes Marketing Director Benjamin Disinger.

While food safety/defense plans , quality assurance departments and external audits are commonplace in the alcohol and food industries, the cannabis industry has a lot of catching up to do. Due to the illegal nature of cannabis at a federal level, there is little to no federal oversight on issues such as safety testing, product traceability and GMP controlled manufacturing processes. It’s the type of environment where substandard suppliers and manufacturers can thrive.

True Terpenes believes the answer to the current health crisis is to implement existing regulations that help assure our food, supplements and medications are safe for consumption. True Terpenes has invested heavily in this belief. As is the case with other major industries, they were required to pass multiple, rigorous third-party audits to verify their procedures, methods and CCP (Critical Control Points) measures are put into practice every day. As such, the company will also be subject to surveillance audits to prove it is maintaining its quality promise.

“Following these standards means taking required steps to provide high quality products, free of any known allergens or other possible contamination. We’ve implemented food safety and recall plans including HACCP and are able to trace any product from a single bottle to a bulk raw material. Employees are properly trained on Food Defense, GMP and standard operating procedures to ensure the integrity, safety and quality of our products,” says True Terpenes Chief Compliance Officer Alesya Bradley.

All True Terpenes products come with SDS (Safety Data Sheets), COA (Certificates of Analysis) and have been tested to exceed the varying standards in the state cannabis markets. They call this integrated plan True Grade™. Even catching the interest of the FDA which requested more information on how the company designed and implemented its True Grade™ safety program when Chief Science Officer David Heldreth spoke at the FDA cannabis hearing earlier this year.

“Several states are looking to make changes to their cannabis and other flavoring laws due to the current outbreak. True Terpenes supports these efforts to increase regulations and oversight of ingredients used in the cannabis and food industries,” says True Terpenes CSO David Heldreth.

True Terpenes is actively working with state regulators to convince them on the importance of adopting quality manufacturing benchmarks such as GMP.

“There just isn’t a better way to keep tainted or mal-intended products off the market. We’ve seen time and again, product bans and regulatory gaps further empower the illicit market. It’s not fair to consumers or the many companies who are creating good, clean products,” says True Terpenes COO David McLean.

True Terpenes ships its specialty flavors worldwide. The company is counting on the universal language of quality and innovation to continue its growth.

Dr. Andres Sanchez Offers Dental Bone Graft Treatment to Edina, MN

Periodontist Dr. Sanchez offers comprehensive dental bone grafting services to treat a variety of bone loss conditions.

EDINA, Minn. (PRWEB)
November 06, 2019

Patients in need of enhancing their jawbone aesthetics and function in Edina, MN and surrounding areas can receive dental bone grafts at PerioWest. Periodontist, Dr. Andres Sanchez, uses dental bone grafts to help patients rebuild their jawline after bone deterioration or tooth extraction, increasing their ability to qualify for dental implants. Bone grafting is typically performed to restore function to a patient’s mouth but can also return aesthetic appeal to the shape of the face.

When a patient has experienced bone loss in their jaw, a sunken appearance will develop in the gum line. This can hinder the appearance, as well as make it difficult for the patient to receive a dental bridge or implant in the future. Common causes for bone loss include:

• Severe gum disease
• Oral trauma
• Teeth that have been missing for some time
• Long-term denture wear

A dental bone graft is composed of material created out of bone and turned into granule form to make it simple to place along the jaw. This material is then protected and allowed to heal, in which time it fuses to the existing jawbone to return natural contours. Often after a bone graft, patients can qualify for procedures like dental implants as they now have sufficient bone volume.

Periodontist Dr. Sanchez offers comprehensive dental bone grafting services to treat a variety of bone loss conditions. Socket preservation bone grafting is used after a tooth is extracted to fill in the empty socket in the jawbone. This prevents bone deterioration around the socket from developing. Patients who have already experienced bone loss along their jaw can receive a ridge augmentation dental bone graft. By placing bone grafting material along the jaw ridge where bone deterioration has occurred, the jaw line can be restored. This improves the appearance of the face and allows for proper balance of dentures or bridges. Sinus lift bone grafts can be performed for those who have lost teeth in the upper molar area of the jaw and who need dental implants. A sinus lifts adds bone to the sinus cavity so there is sufficient volume to support an implant.

Dental bone grafts are important for the placement of dental implants when replacing missing teeth. When receiving an implant, a titanium post is placed within the jawbone. If there is improper bone support, this implant will fail and the tooth cannot be restored. By restoring the jawbone with a dental bone graft, adequate bone volume is available to fully support the implant post and allow for tooth replacement.

At PerioWest, Dr. Sanchez offers full scope dental implant and bone grafting procedures. Patients can have all steps of the process completed in-office. Patients can even benefit from the All-on-4® full mouth dental implant solution, which utilizes just four dental implants to fully support an arch of new teeth. The advantage of the All-on-4 system is that a dental bone graft is often unnecessary as the dental implants are strategically placed at an angle in areas of the mouth that have the most bone volume. In many cases, the All-on-4 procedure can be completed in just one appointment, allowing patients to leave with a new smile that day.

Those interested in learning more about dental bone grafts in Edina, MN are invited to contact PerioWest to schedule a consultation with respected periodontist, Dr. Sanchez. The practice can be reached by calling 952-479-4705 or appointments can be made online at http://www.periowestmn.com.

Sanchez received his Certificate & Master’s Degree in Periodontics from the prestigious Mayo Clinic in Minnesota in 2004.

Healthcare revenue cycle leaders will play an increasingly important role as the industry transitions to the consumer-driven marketplace.

Data-derived revenue cycle intelligence makes it possible to manage revenue cycle by evidence, not anecdote or intuition. With it, providers find the solutions to a host of previously vexing organizational challenges. – Kevin Fleming, CEO, Loyale Healthcare

LAFAYETTE, Calif. (PRWEB)
November 06, 2019

Just last month, experts from consulting company Navigant published insights titled “5 Pain Points for Revenue Cycle Executives.” Their analysis was based on a survey of Hospital Revenue Cycle Executives conducted in partnership with the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) and prepared by professionals with direct experience working with healthcare professionals in executive and revenue cycle leadership. Their conclusions align with many of our own experiences processing 40 million patient transactions in the last year alone.

After working with some of the largest, most innovative healthcare providers in the country to improve patients’ financial experiences and provider financial performance, we can emphatically affirm the report’s assertion that “The revenue cycle must use its unique vantage on operations, outcomes, and financial health to drive and support responsible, savvy change—not just within its traditional scope but across the organization.” As healthcare’s transition into the consumer-driven “New Health Economy” accelerates, Revenue Cycle’s strategic participation in planning, management and execution is now an operational imperative for every healthcare provider who intends to survive the change.

Specifically, Navigant’s analysis identified 5 pain points afflicting Revenue Cycle Executives. Significantly, the survey analysis points out that these concerns affect leaders in all disciplines including clinical.

The five pain points identified were:

1.    Optimizing the return on the Electronic Health Record system (EHR) investment

2.    Enhancing Patient Engagement

3.    Improving Clinical Integration

4.    Managing Cost and Scale, including through robotic process automation and the forging of innovative partnerships

5.    Rebalancing Health System Revenues, as one would with an investment portfolio – rationally and strategically

Optimizing the EHR system investment – When Inside Out Can Mean Upside Down

Here at Loyale, we’re exposed every day to a common misapprehension among health system leaders that their EHR system will solve their revenue cycle challenges, particularly with respect to patient pay. So, we were encouraged to see that many of the CFOs who participated in the survey agreed “that real EHR optimization requires concrete goalsetting, extensive knowledge of EHR functionality, and carefully targeted interventions — as well as the organizational infrastructure to accomplish them.”

In other words, the study suggests, EHR systems alone are insufficient for keeping a health system’s revenue cycle management and operating revenues in top form. This is especially true given the way most health systems are using these systems. Achieving revenue cycle excellence calls for “Interventions to set a framework for EHR optimization. These include metrics around bad debt and avoidable write-offs; prior authorization rates; medical necessity criteria; timely, accurate billing; and appropriate patient follow-up.” It goes on to point out that “Pulling these essential levers tends to make a tangible and relatively quick impact on ROI.” Conversely, it’s safe to say that neglecting these levers has negative financial consequences. These may include reduced cash flow, higher patient write-offs and/or market share loss due to negative market perceptions resulting from aggressive collection techniques.

Health systems and hospitals who depend exclusively on their EHR systems for patient financial engagement fall short when measured by the most important stakeholders – patients themselves. Loyale Healthcare published an article on this topic in June of this year titled, “Electronic Medical Record Systems: Powerful for Clinical Engagement, a Liability for Patient Financial Engagement” In our analysis, we acknowledged the many crucial advances in care and administration that these systems have enabled. We also shared important observations gleaned from our own experiences helping providers close “the gaps between what patients want and what they get”, from many healthcare providers.

Leveraging Revenue Cycle to Optimize Value

In reality, all five of the revenue cycle pain points listed above are linked. By tackling all of these challenges, health systems, hospitals and other care providers can effect transformation that extends across the entire enterprise. Leveraging revenue cycle excellence, they can drive the systemic and cultural changes needed for the enterprise to thrive in a value-driven, consumer-centered market.

Based on our experiences working with some of America’s largest healthcare providers, solving healthcare’s revenue cycle management challenges calls for targeted interventions like Loyale’s integrated technology platform. Our Patient Financial Manager complements provider EHR systems to help providers execute a more holistic revenue cycle strategy. A strategy that extends well beyond the sometimes-limited purview of traditional revenue cycle practitioners.

When the Loyale-optimized system is tuned to the organization’s strategies and operating processes, the system’s deep visibility into the organization’s financial transactions combines with its consumer-ready functionality, making it possible to tackle the other pain points as a matter of course. That is especially true when attempting to enhance patient engagement, the second pain point.

We have written extensively about the rising importance of consumers (patients) to the prospects for healthcare provider success. In one of these articles, Loyale chairman and founder, Dan Peterson, notes that “Loyale was conceived with a vision for the future of healthcare. A vision where fiercely loyal patients are a provider’s principal drivers of brand and business growth.” Our company exists to solve one of healthcare’s biggest failings – patient financial engagement – and to improve outcomes for every stakeholder: patients, providers, employers and payers.

The intention to enhance patient engagement leads unavoidably to transparency for patients and for providers. The Navigant analysis observes along with many other industry experts that, “the revenue cycle should be supporting and engaging patients through a combination of transparency, payment support options, and seamless service.” But transparency is critical for providers too, particularly when applying portfolio management principles to revenue cycle.

The Portfolio Approach to Revenue Cycle Management

In May of last year, we published “4 Best Practices for Patient Responsibility Portfolio Management.” In it, Loyale chairman and founder Dan Peterson explained how, with better visibility into patient-pay, it’s possible for healthcare providers to achieve significant revenue gains while delivering more satisfying patient experiences. Significantly, the same visibility can have a material impact on other organizational initiatives around patient experience and staff engagement.

By leveraging data-driven intelligence to segment revenue cycle “asset classes”, Loyale systems reveal a provider’s most valuable (highest yield) revenue assets by class. Providers can then make informed decisions to optimize revenue-positive behaviors and work to correct under performers. The same system extends its organizational reach to automatically; 1) determine the patient’s propensity to pay; 2) map out realistic payment scenarios; 3) predict whether the patient will pay in full or in part and 4) define the best follow up strategy to include payment planning options and communications strategies.

Data-derived revenue cycle intelligence makes it possible to manage revenue cycle by evidence, not anecdote or intuition. With it, providers find the solutions to a host of previously vexing organizational challenges. At Loyale, we’re demonstrating that providers can improve and optimize clinical integration and identify opportunities for process automation. We’re also providing technological support for innovative partnerships to manage costs and achieve scale. The latter, achieving scale, is especially important as the industry continues to consolidate and as many providers struggle to achieve the efficiency gains anticipated when planning the merger or acquisition.

We at Loyale Healthcare applaud Navigant’s analysis and the growing chorus of industry experts and associations calling for transformation in revenue cycle, particularly as it concerns patients. Patients today hold the key to healthcare’s future. The providers who reimagine their operating models and adjust to listen, respond and anticipate their patients’ needs and expectations will be the winners. Loyale is proud to partner with the healthcare providers leading this important phase in healthcare’s evolution.

The banquet is the organization’s largest fundraiser of the year and typically draws a crowd of more than 150 people. The honorees are treated to delicious food, live music, a thought-provoking message and fellowship with their peers – some of the eldest residents in the Frederick community. During the event, seniors are presented with gift baskets put together by the volunteer members of the organization.

Tickets to the Attitude of Gratitude Banquet are free for seniors who are members of The Honors Class and 90 years of age and older. Tickets are $35 per person for everyone else.

The Honors Class was founded in 2013 with the sole purpose of feting Frederick area seniors by hosting various events throughout the year, and presenting the seniors with gifts and proclamations from elected leaders and area businesses. The goal is to show these elders that they have made a difference in our city and county, in our state and nation.

“Our seniors deserve all these honors and more,” said Joy Hall Onley, founder and president of The Honors Class. “We are indebted to them. We thank them for their sacrifice and all that they have done to blaze the trail here in Frederick County to make all of our journeys a bit easier.”

The deadline to reserve your ticket to this year’s event is Monday, Nov. 18th. If you are interested in attending, you can contact Joy Hall Onley at (301) 663-4078.

A wonderful evening is in store and The Honors Class hopes to gain the support from the Frederick community to enable us to continue hosting programs to honor our county’s eldest members.

About The Honors Class

The Honors Class was founded as a 501 c3 in 2013 to celebrate and honor Frederick County, MD seniors, of all ethnicities, who are 90 years of age and older. The organization does this by hosting several key events each year and enlisting the help and support of business leaders, elected officials, volunteers and the organization’s membership to pull it off. Our seniors have received birthday wishes from former President and First Lady, Barack and Michelle Obama, and proclamations from local mayors, the county executive, as well as state and congressional leaders, including the governor of Maryland. Our seniors deserve these honors and more. We stand on their shoulders and are indebted to them for their sacrifice and love.
