As advocates and champions for pediatric practice independence, we know that pediatricians need tools, strategies and support in order to thrive and survive.


MELVILLE, N.Y. (PRWEB)

The number of independent pediatric practices in the United States is declining at an alarming rate. According to several recent surveys fewer physicians own practices than are employed at hospitals and other organizations. The leadership of Adjuvant.Health is committed to stopping and reversing this disturbing trend. As a pediatrician-led innovator and provider of best-in-breed pediatric practice office administrative support, vulnerability protection and profitability enhancement services, Adjuvant.Health’s experts know what pediatricians need to secure their futures.

“To ensure pediatricians understand and identify what they need to remain independent, today I am announcing Adjuvant.Health’s Pediatric Independence Initiative. This initiative is a series of educational events, programs and new services created by medical doctors and experts. The elements of these programs have been designed to give pediatricians the tools, services and resources to secure their long-term financial success and freedom to offer care the way they want to, not how others tell them to provide care,” said Etan Walls, CEO of Adjuvant.Health.

“As advocates and champions for pediatric practice independence, we know that pediatricians need tools, strategies and support in order to thrive and survive. Independence is also critical for ensuring patients and their families have access to and receive quality health care across the United States,” said Dr. Kerry Fierstein, Practicing Pediatrician, CEO Allied Physicians Group and Executive Chair Adjuvant.Health.

The Adjuvant.Health Pediatric Independence Initiative includes:

Adjuvant.Health Partners Program, a recently launched program which is the foundation for Adjuvant.Health’s national pediatrician independence-focused initiatives. The Partners Program is a growing national network of independent pediatric practitioners and group practices that work together and leverage best-in-breed practice administration services, tools, technology, threat reduction strategies and profitability consulting support.

The Adjuvant.Health Pediatric Independence Retreat is a new and exclusive two-day event focusing on best practices to ensure independence. All practitioners who wish to remain independent and thrive should apply to attend. The retreat will be held in New York in early May of 2020. Location, dates and agenda will be announced in December 2019. For qualified practitioners and practices there is no charge to attend or for transportation. This event will feature nationally recognized speakers, practice management experts and practicing pediatricians. Sessions will cover profitability, technology and EMR integration, HR and employee engagement, office efficiency, patient experience and communication and threat identification. Practitioners will participate in peer-to-peer roundtable discussions with likeminded professionals and have the special opportunity to take a look into the future of ambulatory pediatric care delivery. Applications now being accepted. To apply for the retreat visit http://www.adjuvant.health/retreat.

Adjuvant.Health’s Practice Shield is a comprehensive pediatric practice threat vulnerability and profitability assessment service. With more than 13 years of experience working with pediatric practices of all sizes, Adjuvant.Health’s team has developed a proprietary pediatric practice threat assessment. This assessment identifies all potential physical, technological and staff concerns. The assessment is combined with tools and approaches which also uncover hidden profit potential in billing procedures, reimbursement strategies and efficient office operation. Using information from the assessment, effective policies, procedures and systems are established to eliminate threats, reduce costs, improve efficiency and enhance profitability.

“It is very clear that most pediatricians want to maintain their independence and keep control over the way they provide care. Many are demanding access to partners, services, technology and strategies that will protect them from hospitals, corporate health care providers and health systems. With independence, patients and patient families benefit by building stronger relationships with their pediatricians and this results in better care and outcomes,” added Dr. Fierstein.

“We face numerous challenges in the current health care environment. My primary goal is to advocate tirelessly and effectively for the needs of dermatologic surgeons.

Obesity Rates May Be Increasing but so Is the Ability to Fight It, Says Dr. Feiz and Associates

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

Is it the food that makes people fat or the hormonal drives that make food nearly impossible to resist.

Failing to lose enough weight to defeat obesity is not a sign of poor willpower and it’s definitely not a character flaw.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

An October 13 article on Yahoo News reports on the increasingly alarming rate of obesity in the United States. According to the article, while no U.S. state had an obesity rate above 15 percent in 1985, all 50 states now have a population that is over 20 percent obese. The article cites quite a few reasons for this rise, including eating out more often (restaurant food tends to be significantly higher in calories), poor diets lacking in nutritious foods, and a lack of exercise caused by lifestyles that have become increasingly sedentary. Los Angeles-based weight loss center Dr. Feiz and Associates says that, while obese individuals should naturally be making a concerted effort to eat better and exercise, failing to lose enough weight to defeat obesity is not a sign of poor willpower and it’s definitely not a character flaw. Instead, the clinic holds the body’s own mechanisms as a primary offender in preventing people from achieving sustained weight loss. So far, the clinic notes, certain weight loss procedures have proven to be highly effective in circumventing hormonal efforts to keep obese people forever obese.

The primary chemical enemy of dieters, the medical group explains, is a hormone known as ghrelin that is believed to be responsible for creating sensations of hunger in the body. When an individual loses a large amount of weight, particularly if this loss occurs at a rapid pace, the body sends false alarms that the individual is not receiving enough calories and enters into a survival mode of sorts – trying to induce us to eat more calories as if a famine was coming soon. The clinic notes that these hormonally induced feelings feel essentially the same as real hunger and, over time, typically wear down even the most disciplined and strong-willed individuals. Dr. Feiz and Associates notes that there is no countervailing biological process in place that tries to reduce our food consumption when we are too heavy.

Dr. Feiz and Associates says bariatric surgery offers a significant boost in the fight against obesity. The clinic cites sleeve gastrectomy, which removes roughly 75%-85% of the stomach, as a prime example of weight loss surgery that can help patients lose and maintain their weight without being as radically invasive as older procedures. This surgery is particularly effective in that it removes an area in the stomach that appears to be responsible for ghrelin production alongside making overeating physically uncomfortable. The clinic says that by dramatically reducing hormonal hunger, patients are finally able to sustain their weight loss once they are no longer plagued by incessant hunger pangs. Dr. Feiz and Associates note that patients who come out of the sleeve gastrectomy typically lose significant amounts of weight and – even more important – are able to stave off the return of obesity over the long term.

The books focus is to help the patient and the person caring for the patient prepare for, understand, and think about their plan for adapting to life after the surgery.

An excerpt from the book reads:

She told me now lift my leg up away from the right one (sideways scissors). Boy did I get put in my place (and I desired it). My mind and my will said, “Lift my leg up,” but nothing happened. Not a muscle! I got a little chuckle and smirk and a comment like “Guess you have more you can work on.” How enlightening!

“You truly never really know the impact your journey or book might have on someone until you actually share it,” Cunningham said. “Watch Your Shadow” is available for purchase at: https://www.amazon.com/Watch-Your-Shadow-Replacement-Operations-ebook/dp/B07WJ1C241

MIAMI (PRWEB)

Jack Kline, current advisor and former Chairman, President and CEO of Christie was inducted into the annual ShowEast Hall of Fame. An honor which pays tribute to a select band of film industry veterans, the inductees are hand-picked by an all-industry executive committee. Kline’s induction ceremony took place at a special gala luncheon held on October 17, the final day of ShowEast 2019.

ShowEast began its “Hall of Fame” in 1999 with the aim of recognizing individuals who have served the motion picture industry with great distinction. The list of inductees includes those from exhibition, distribution as well as the equipment and concession business. The ShowEast executive committee takes nominations yearly and then invites those selected to join each year at the convention. Upon reflection, Robert Sunshine, of Film Expo Group, said this about Jack, “It is a great honor to induct my good friend Jack Kline into the hall of fame.

Dr. William Lane Hosts Second SmileOn!™ Full Arch Dental Implant Bootcamp in Plymouth, MA

Leave a comment


Dr. William Lane, Oral Surgeon in Plymouth, MA and Sandwich, MA

Dr. William Lane Hosts Dental Implant Bootcamp in Plymouth, MA

Having a dental implant is literally the closest thing to having a natural tooth.


Plymouth, MA (PRWEB)

Dr. William Lane of Lane Oral Surgery will host the second module of his patented SmileOn!™ full arch dental implant series in Plymouth, MA. The SmileOn! Full Arch Bootcamp covers full arch fixed dental implants, a solution that provides patients who suffer with failing or missing teeth the most advanced option for permanent dentures. This second module of the bootcamp will cover how to effectively explain treatment plans to patients, as well as the education material that should be presented to them. The SmileOn! Bootcamp was designed for dentists who are interested in gaining more education and skill in full mouth dental implants.

“Having a dental implant is literally the closest thing to having a natural tooth,” says Dr. Lane. “The implant is completely stable, and it doesn’t move in any way. It’s functional in aesthetics and ability to chew, and you have a long-term solution as implants very rarely have problems. Overall, it’s a method that allows for the most natural replacement of a missing tooth.”

In partnership with Keystone Dental Lab, Arcari Dental Lab and Progressive Dental Marketing, the SmileOn! Full Arch Bootcamp is designed to help doctors learn and grow their implant practice. The second module will take place at Lane Oral Surgery on Friday, November 8, 2019. Those presenting will lecture on the key steps of communicating to patients, covering exactly what treatment a patient requires, what the treatment consists of and the prosthetic options available to create these permanent denture solutions. Course objectives include:


  • Presentation of treatment options to the patient

  • Coaching on effective patient discussion

  • Presentation of treatment plans by the surgeon and lab

  • Overview of prosthetic options from Keystone Dental

  • Review of patient education material

Just as this module is all about patient communication, Lane Oral Surgery places this as a top priority within its practice as well. Dr. Lane always works to ensure patients have a thorough understanding of their treatment before it begins, especially when it comes to complex dental implant procedures. Dr. Lane developed the SmileOn! system, creating a full mouth solution for those desiring permanent dentures.

With SmileOn!, patients can receive a full mouth of new teeth utilizing as few as four dental implants. When a prosthesis of teeth is attached to these implants, this provides patients with a permanent denture that allows them to speak, eat and smile with confidence. Many denture concerns, such as denture pain, slipping or clicking, are alleviated with permanent dentures. Plus, patients can expect these full mouth dental implants to last for many years.

Dr. Lane conveniently practices out of two offices, with locations in Plymouth, MA and Sandwich, MA. Those in or around Plymouth, MA and Sandwich, MA who are interested in learning more about SmileOn! full arch dental implants are encouraged to contact Lane Oral Surgery by calling 508-746-8700 or visiting http://www.laneoralsurgery.com.

About the Practice

Lane Oral Surgery offers oral and maxillofacial surgical care at their offices in Plymouth, MA and Sandwich, MA. Renowned oral surgeon, Dr. William Lane graduated from Harvard University, received his doctorate from Boston University, and completed his residency training in oral and maxillofacial surgery in a combined program at Boston University and Tufts University. Dr. Lane created the revolutionary SmileOn!™ same day full arch dental implant solution to help patients with missing teeth regain their smile, their confidence, and normal dental function. In addition to his SmileOn! solution, Dr. Lane offers bone grafting, wisdom teeth removal, and full mouth reconstruction. The entire team at Lane Oral Surgery is devoted to restoring and enhancing the natural beauty of smiles.

First-ever image projected onto Russian White House using 36 Christie 4K projectors

Leave a comment


News Image

The number and variety of projects that we have completed using Christie Boxer projectors represent more than just a list of events…it is a true honor for us to be able to add this particular facade to the portfolio of sites that we have worked on.


MOSCOW (PRWEB)

Russian National Flag Day was celebrated on a large scale this year, with a number of cities planning as many as three special events to mark the occasion. The central events took place in Moscow, with the iconic facades of the capital’s buildings coming alive with projection mapping for several evenings. The key event in the city was the projection onto the White House, the House of the Government of the Russian Federation, as this was the first time in history that the building façade had been illuminated using projection mapping. Big Screen Show (BSS), which organized the historic event, selected 36 Christie® Boxer 4K30 3DLP® projectors.

National Flag Day was established in 1994, and has been celebrated annually on August 22 ever since. 2019 is a special anniversary year, since the Russian flag is turning 25 years old, so festivities appropriate to the occasion were arranged. Arkady Gerbovitsky, Commercial Director and one of the founders of BSS, said, “It was a great honor for us to be able to work on this project. Of course, it was also a tremendous responsibility. The White House, just like the flag itself, is one of the country’s most important symbols, so the bar was set high. Before we attempted it, no one had ever projected video onto the facade of the White House before. We’re naturally proud that we managed to do it.”

A dynamic image of the Russian tricolor with a resolution of over 1 million pixels was projected onto the White House for four days in late August courtesy of 36 Christie Boxer 4K30 projectors. The projectors were installed across from the House of the Russian Government on two towers on the Moscow River embankment, at a distance of approximately 115 meters. What appeared to be a single projected image was in fact composed of 12 frames (4 frames wide, 3 frames high), with each frame measuring 34×18 meters, with a total projection surface of 5,500 square meters. Due to the high brightness and the 4K resolution of the Christie projectors, the central part of the facade displaying the tricolor could be seen from many places around the city, including from the water and aboard pleasure boats.

“The number and variety of projects that we have completed using Christie Boxer projectors represent more than just a list of events. The story behind each one of them is unique. But it is a true honor for us to be able to add this particular facade to the portfolio of sites that we have worked on. Naturally, the tight deadlines and the strict protocols governing the facility’s operation were special factors that influenced how we worked on the project,” Evgeny Marinichev, Technical Director of BSS, noted. “But thanks to some good teamwork, everything went as planned. Of all the features that the Christie Boxer projectors offer, the IP management capabilities proved to be particularly useful.”

A team from Christie partner dreamlaser also worked on site near the White House. Some of the Christie Boxer projectors, along with the video servers, were transported from Nizhny Novgorod to Moscow.

During the anniversary celebration for the Russian tricolor, another facade in the capital was also covered in a video projection mapping: the building complex on Prospekt Akademika Sakharova. Three towers fitted with 12 Christie Boxer 4K30 projectors were installed on the opposite side of the avenue, each projecting onto a separate facade of the tripartite structure. The image was projected onto the upper part of the facade of the iconic Vnesheconombank complex.

“In addition to the tight deadlines that we had to meet on this project, we also had to deal with the special architectural features of the building: the facade featured contrasts between light exterior walls and almost black windows,” Evgeny Marinichev continued. “So we conducted preliminary tests in order to ensure that the flag’s image could be projected at an acceptable quality level. Here, we also worked with 4K content across a projection area of 65×35 m. Again, the IP management features proved to be very useful to us here, just like they were at the first site.”

The flawless color reproduction of the Christie Boxer 4K30 3DLP projectors also played an important role: “As in our previous projects, we again found that it was vital to work exclusively with this equipment, since we have boundless confidence in its capabilities and specifications. In particular, we relied on these projectors to accurately reproduce the flag’s colors, which are strictly regulated. This was especially tricky given the scale of the projection. Now we can say with confidence that everything was carried out to the highest level. The projection was visible from bridges, from the water, and from the city streets.”
