Use of Updox’s Patient Engagement Solutions Grows Over 600%, Meeting Healthcare’s Demand for an All-In-One Platform

Leave a comment


News Image

With Updox’s unified patient engagement platform, providers can use a single login to access all communications channels, like text messaging and automated reminders. Then, we add solutions for inter-office communications and document management, from that same platform.


DUBLIN, Ohio (PRWEB)

Updox, an all-in-one healthcare collaboration platform that combines patient engagement, provider communications and internal productivity, is seeing significant increase in adoption rates as providers and consumers both demand greater patient engagement for improved care coordination. Usage of Updox’s inter-office Messenger solution grew 531%, HIPAA-compliant Secure Text usage increased 746% and Video Chat usage grew to exceed more than 600% in 2019, demonstrating the value of an all-in-one platform.

This growth mirrors healthcare providers’ cries for greater efficiency, cost-effectiveness and collaboration from their technology vendors as they move to improve the overall patient experience. For example, in Updox’s 2019 Healthcare Technology Report: More Logins, More Problems, providers stated their biggest technology frustration was the lack of integration between point solutions, which is why more than 40% of respondents said they would reduce their number of technology vendors if they could find one platform that offered multiple solutions.

Innovation Driven by Patient Preference

“For so long, healthcare has focused on the patient experience, yet patient engagement solutions haven’t taken off. They require staff to have special logins or patients to download apps. We take a different approach,” said Michael Morgan, CEO of Updox. “With Updox’s unified patient engagement platform, providers can use a single login to access all communications channels, like text messaging and automated reminders. Then, we add solutions for inter-office communications and document management, from that same platform. The industry prefers everything in one place and that’s what we’ve given them.”

Updox Engagement solutions work together to allow providers to maximize the patient experience in ways that are resource-efficient. For example, for patients following an orthopedic procedure, initial instructions can be sent via SMS text. If the patient has further concerns or questions about a potential complication, they can ask questions or send a photo through Secure Text, if necessary, and a follow-up consultation can be completed via Video Chat. All of this can be done within the Updox platform without logging into multiple systems, which results in happier staff, increased patient satisfaction, better communications between providers and improved health outcomes.

The Only All-in-One Collaboration Platform

“Over the past year we have taken large strides in further enhancing our commitment to simplifying the business of healthcare. In doing so, we did what others thought was impossible. We created technology that people actually like to use. This lets us fill an enormous demand and elevate our market presence even more,” Morgan added.

Notable Updox milestones include:

Storing 157 million patient records

Distributing 27 million patient notifications

Facilitating 55 million patient appointments

Delivery of more than one billion healthcare documents

Updox’s success in 2019 is best demonstrated through its customer success stories, which include: a pediatrician who saves $30,000 a year with Updox; a multi-location health system using Updox to improve their efficiency and daily communications; and a community pharmacist using Updox’s digital marketing services to drive 645 website visitors and 500 phone calls to her pharmacy.

“Other solutions required too many steps or took too much time. Thank you, Updox, I knew someone would finally get it right,” said Brian Nyberg, M.D., who runs a specialty psychiatric practice in Cedar City, Utah. “Now, I have the technology in place where I don’t have to compromise the way I want to care for my patients.”

ChronWell to Present at the National Workers’ Compensation and Disability Conference

Leave a comment


News Image

“Technology in the workers’ comp industry has not advanced as quickly as in commercial health. There’s great value in early intervention and advocacy programs, but it’s important to marry that with technology,” said Dr. Deitz.


FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (PRWEB)

ChronWell, a technology-enabled injury management program for the workers’ compensation industry, announced today that Dr. David Deitz, Chief Medical Advisor, will present at the National Workers’ Compensation and Disability Conference at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, NV on November 6-8, 2019.

Dr. Deitz and Santiago Martin Jr., CEO of Trilogy Personnel & Land Management, will lead a session titled, “Leveraging Technology to Connect Pre- and Post-Loss Strategies.” In this presentation, they’ll discuss an agricultural employer’s case examples, highlighting how they are benefiting from the use of ChronWell’s technology platform coupled with human empathy in their workers’ compensation program. In particular, they will focus on the need for predictive models to identify risk factors and how leveraging intelligence gathered through cloud and mobile technologies paired with artificial intelligence allows companies to respond quicker to the needs of injured workers and other stakeholders in the claims process. This gives employers the ability to mitigate risk, efficiently manage injuries, and build advocacy programs that improve injured worker outcomes.

“Technology in the workers’ comp industry has not advanced as quickly as in commercial health. There’s great value in early intervention and advocacy programs, but it’s important to marry that with technology,” said Dr. Deitz. “Technology has an important role to play not only in administering and managing these programs, but in providing employers with different options and data management to improve outcomes, decrease litigation and boost overall satisfaction.”

Dr. Deitz has 25 years’ experience in managed medical care, healthcare outcomes evaluation and reporting, and utilization management systems in both workers’ compensation and group health. In addition to being ChronWell’s Chief Medical Advisor, he is also the Principal of David Deitz & Associates in Westport, MA. Dr. Deitz completed post-graduate training at the University of Miami and Harvard Medical School and is board-certified in Internal Medicine.

The session will take place on Wednesday, November 6 at 2:30pm in the Islander room of Mandalay Bay. In addition, ChronWell will be exhibiting on the floor at booth 1109. To set up an appointment at the conference, email chronwell@matternow.com.

With demand for quality products and accessories growing, Pre-Royale is poised to meet this need by developing high-end products for the worldwide cannabis community by combining luxury and style with functionality.

ROYALE G takes the traditional grinder concept to the next level – featuring everything you will find on your standard grinder, but with a modern, sophisticated and elegant design and many new features all consumers will love.”

ROYALE G features include:

Gold-Plated Trim: ROYALE G brings convenience and luxury into one product, with a “splash of gold” for a sophisticated premium feel. It embodies a stigma breaking message which showcases the new cannabis culture and lifestyle.

Multi-Functional Clip Scooper: An innovative accessory that makes it easy to scoop and navigate ground herb after securing the grinder, with no need for direct contact that often results in “sticky fingers.”

Airtight Storage Compartment: Scale down to the portable model and use the spare compartment as an airtight storage with the two additional lids provided. It’s a two-in-one grinder and storage package deal.

“We love the grinder’s sleek anodized aerospace-grade aluminum build, and we know our customers will too,” Lee said. “The gold-trim accent seals the deal, with a luxurious design that reimagines the global cannabis movement. But it’s about more than fancy features. It’s about empowerment and making consumers part of something bigger…something revolutionary.”

Lee says the Pre-Royale Team is passionate about delivering impeccable quality, first with ROYALE G and with future luxury products.

“We’re proud to be cultivating a new culture and lifestyle for cannabis enthusiasts worldwide, inspiring our fellow consumers to live their lives on their terms,” he said. “Many users are afraid to express their passions, fearing embarrassment, judgement…or even job loss. We’re here to change that by making cannabis usage classy, stylish and luxurious for everyone. Today, doctors, lawyers, architects, musicians, and professionals of all kinds are becoming more aware of the undeniable benefits of cannabis.”

CHICAGO (PRWEB)

Today, more than 30 million Americans have diabetes (about 1 in 10), and 90-95 percent of them have type 2 diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Diyotta and CTI Partners Announce Strategic Partnership to Deliver Data Warehousing and Analytics Solutions For Healthcare in Record Time

Leave a comment


“CTI Partners’ expertise with modern data warehousing solutions combined with Diyotta’s data integration platform, ensure organizations get faster access to the data they need, whether it’s for business analytics or machine learning and artificial intelligence applications.”


CHARLOTTE, N.C. (PRWEB)

Diyotta, Inc., an enterprise-class, data integration platform for modern data environments, today announced a new strategic partnership with CTI Partners, a consultancy firm specializing in offering business process outsourcing, security, portfolio management, and data warehousing solutions.

CTI Partners chose Diyotta because its cloud-native data integration capabilities ensure data moves quickly, securely, and seamlessly from source systems to cloud and on-premises data warehouses and data lakes. Diyotta’s ease of use, feature-rich platform, and scalability reduce the complexity and improve the speed of integration for CTI Partners’ data warehousing and analytics solutions.

In a recent engagement, CTI Partners used Diyotta to integrate multiple complex electronic medical record systems for a major healthcare provider.

“We are excited to partner with CTI Partners to deliver faster data integration for their customers,” said Sanjay Vyas, CEO of Diyotta. “CTI Partners’ expertise with modern data warehousing solutions combined with Diyotta’s data integration platform, ensure organizations get faster access to the data they need, whether it’s for business analytics or machine learning and artificial intelligence applications.”

“Building a data warehouse is a complex project, requiring many resources and advanced skills. We tested many of the data integration tools on the market, but they all had limitations. We chose Diyotta because we needed a tool that could efficiently connect to any source in any location in any format, pull the data and transform the data to conform to a schema, then present the data consistently to business users,” said Samuel Waissman, Partner for CTI Partners.

“Speed to deliver and leverage our engineers’ skills with minimum learning curve, allowed CTI Partners to deliver a complex integration and data warehouse solution 50% faster than using the traditional ETL Tools. The engineers were able to use the tool almost immediately after learning Diyotta with minimum training.”

“Diyotta gives us everything we need in one package without requiring additional licenses or bolt-ons. It encapsulates all the transformation functionality we need, freeing our developers from coding the same transformation over and over again. In a recent complex data integration of five electronic medical record systems (EMRS), we replaced a legacy reporting solution, which used to take six hours to refresh data from two systems, with a solution that allowed us to refresh the data from five distinct EMR systems in less than two-and-a-half hours,” added Waissman.

Diyotta continues to expand its strategic partnerships to drive the data integration for today’s cloud, multi-cloud, and on-premises data environments.

About Diyotta, Inc.

Diyotta delivers trusted data fast. An enterprise-class, serverless data integration platform, Diyotta connects quickly and securely to diverse data sources and delivers massive volumes of data to target systems across cloud, multi-cloud, and on-premises environments.

Kanvas Revolutionizes Cannabis Industry with Launch of First and Only Certified Child-Resistant All-in-One Disposable Vaporizer

Leave a comment



NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (PRWEB)

Kanvas™, creator of innovative solutions designed to elevate the user experience for legal cannabis and cannabidiol (CBD) consumers, announces its Child-Resistant Disposable Vaporizer is the first all-in-one hardware solution to pass stringent child-resistant testing, delivering the market’s first certified child-resistant complete vape device.

Dedicated to consumer vape safety, Kanvas engineered the first-of-its-kind child-resistant vape pen utilizing an ingenious push-and-turn technology that disengages the battery to prohibit device operation. This patent-pending complete child-resistant solution was tested by an accredited laboratory to meet the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) standards for child-resistant packaging as stated in the Code of Federal Regulations Title 16, Section 1700.20. Additional benefits of Kanvas’ fail-safe design include prolonged battery life, auto-firing restriction and protection from the very first hit.

“We are proud to be the first in our industry to introduce an end-to-end vape solution with certified child-resistant functionality,” said Andy Fathollahi, Kanvas CEO. “Unlike devices from other hardware manufacturers, the Kanvas Child-Resistant Disposable Vaporizer is the first and only complete device that offers peace of mind out of the box. We have a tremendous engineering department that worked tirelessly to make our goal of child safety in the vape category a reality.”
