Haley Marketing Group Launches Major Web Accessibility Initiative to Ensure WCAG 2.0 Compliance and Great User Experience for All

Many of us take the ease of how we experience the world around us for granted, so we consider this initiative to be extremely important. As technology evolves, we remain committed to leveraging it in ways that improve accessibility and user experience for all people.


WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y. (PRWEB)

Haley Marketing, the largest website development, social and content marketing firm serving the temporary staffing and executive recruiting industries, has launched a major initiative to make its Starter Websites, Custom Websites and Job Board (career portal) software products more accessible for people with disabilities. Changes have been made to improve user experience, while helping to keep Haley Marketing’s clients compliant with The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

In December 2008, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) announced its Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) to improve the accessibility of the World Wide Web. Since then, the W3C has expanded and evolved its Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), to make it easier for individuals with disabilities to surf the Web by making websites more perceivable, operable, understandable and robust. Recently, the U.S. Access Board approved a final rule to update Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. This new rule adopts 17 WCAG 2.0 success criteria, but 22 of the 38 existing Level A and Level AA criteria were already covered by existing Section 508 guidelines.

In light of these updated criteria, Haley Marketing has made a significant investment to ensure that all users of its website and Job Board products, regardless of their limitations or disabilities, have a great experience. In addition to educating their entire staff on compliance requirements:

  • They hired a senior-level web consultant who spent several months researching compliance guidelines, reviewing Haley Marketing’s sites and products, developing standards for their sites, and creating a path forward to ensure adherence to required standards.

  • They are updating all Starter Sites and Custom Sites to comply with WCAG 2.0’s Level A and Level AA success criteria. They have established a development checklist to ensure that all such websites designed are compliant and have updated their quality control process to check for compliance at two points in their website build process.

  • They are releasing a new version of their Job Board (Career Portal) product which has been updated and enhanced to be fully compliant when used on a compliant website.

Haley Marketing will be reviewing the changes they have made to help keep their clients ADA compliant in a free upcoming Product Demo webinar on Wednesday, Oct. 30 at 2:00 p.m.

Creating a Great User Experience for All

“Everyone, regardless of accessibility level, deserves a great user experience when interacting with the websites and Job Board products we develop for our staffing and recruiting clients,” said Haley Marketing Digital Media Graphic Designer and WCAG Compliance Expert Sara Dziadaszek. “Many of us take the ease of how we experience the world around us for granted, so we consider this initiative to be extremely important. As technology evolves, we remain committed to leveraging it in ways that improve accessibility and user experience for all people.”

Fordham Real Estate Institute, Columbia University, the Counselors of Real Estate and the Real Estate Board of New York Address the Late Cycle Real Estate Playbook

Leave a comment


News Image

Factors impacting big cities trickle down to the suburbs and smaller markets. As we look ahead to 2020 and beyond, we are thankful that our esteemed speakers were able to share their perspectives and strategies on how to stay ahead in the market.


NEW YORK (PRWEB)

Fordham Real Estate Institute (REI), Columbia University, the Counselors of Real Estate and the Real Estate Board of New York recently co-hosted a packed-house forum, Offense/Defense: What’s the Late-Cycle Real Estate Playbook? The breakfast panel took place on Wednesday, October 2 at Fordham’s Lincoln Center campus. At the event, leading real estate thinkers and practitioners discussed where we are in the real estate cycle, the major players on the field and ideas, perspectives and strategies for optimizing your position at this point in the game.

Following welcome remarks from Anthony Davidson, PhD, dean of Fordham School for Professional and Continuing Studies, the event began with a kick-off from Neil Madsen, principal at Madsen Advisors, LLC and member of the Fordham REI Executive Advisory Council. Next, a fireside chat with Hugh F. Kelly, PhD, director of graduate programs, Fordham REI, and president, Hugh F. Kelly Real Estate Economics, and special guest Melissa Reagan, managing director and head of research, Nuveen Real Estate, focused on how real estate investors can and should adapt their portfolio at this point in the industry cycle, including looking at opportunities outside of major cities.

“We are definitely trying to see which cities will have the biggest growth in residents over the next ten years,” said Reagan. “Millennials and Gen Xers are moving out of expensive cities. They want Brooklyn or Oakland in Charlotte or Atlanta. There are 35 ‘growth’ cities in the United States, and a smart investor will consider opportunities in these areas to strengthen their portfolio.”

“You also have to take into account what cities will be the most resilient against environmental factors, such as climate change, and which are at best poised to adapt to technology disrupters,” added Dr. Kelly. “These are all prevalent factors considered in the investment process.”

The second half of the event featured an expert panel discussion on the outlook for the late stage of the cycle and how investors can best poise themselves for success. Patrice Derrington, PhD, director, Real Estate Development Program, GSAAP, Columbia University, moderated the discussion. Featured panelists included:

  • Melissa Burch, executive general manager, Lendlease

  • Rich Walsh, head of structured lending and co-portfolio manager for the fund, New York Life

  • James Nelson, principal and head of Tri-State investment sales, Avison Young

  • Sara Queen, head of asset management and operations, Mapletree

During the conversation, the experts honed in the biggest factors impacting the industry at the moment, including transit-oriented developments, the continued struggles of retail, disruptors like WeWork and the rise of office amenities, and following employment trends to find the best opportunities to invest. And while looking outside of the city limits was a topic of discussion, the panelists all claimed that there were still bright spots in the New York market.

“If you look at the multi-family arena, cities cannot meet the need due to lack of space. You can’t accomplish all of that in the city,” said Nelson. “How is New York going to rebound? It’s the jobs. That’s the biggest driver when talking about investment opportunities. Amazon, Google, Facebook…they’re all expanding here. New York is still a good bet.”

“New York City remains the real estate capital of the world, but we would be remiss not to pay attention to the state of the industry as a whole,” said Dr. Davidson. “Factors impacting big cities trickle down to the suburbs and smaller markets. As we look ahead to 2020 and beyond, we are thankful that our esteemed speakers were able to share their perspectives and strategies on how to stay ahead in the market. We thank them, as well as our co-presenters, for a truly insightful morning.”

Offense/Defense: What’s the Late-Cycle Real Estate Playbook? was sponsored by Streamline Realty Funding. For more information on the Fordham Real Estate Institute, visit http://www.fordham.edu/realestate.

Zero Patient A/R, Guaranteed with RevSure from Health iPASS

Leave a comment


RevSure is a major disrupter in the patient revenue cycle management space with its unprecedented ability to guarantee patient payments.


OAKBROOK, Ill. (PRWEB)

Health iPASS is excited to announce the launch of a new product, RevSure. RevSure is a patient payment solution for healthcare practices that completely eliminates patient-related accounts receivable and guarantees the collection of patient payments. The official launch date for RevSure is October 14, 2019,​ at the MGMA 2019 Annual Conference.

RevSure works differently than other patient revenue cycle management software because Health iPASS assumes all the risk of patient collections with no recourse. RevSure does not require patient credit checks and has zero set-up costs.

RevSure involves a simple, three-step process:

1) Patients check in to their appointment with Health iPASS.

2) The healthcare provider submits the insurance claim for that visit.

3) Health iPASS pays the practice the patient-responsible portion immediately upon claim adjudication.

RevSure eliminates the burden of bad debt and aged A/R and increases operating income and cash flow for healthcare providers. According the Health iPASS Founder and CEO Rajesh Voddiraju, “The bottom line is that healthcare providers have been losing revenue for a long time due to the complications presented by HDHPs, including the logistical difficulties of collecting from patients. RevSure is a major disrupter in the patient revenue cycle management space with its unprecedented ability to guarantee patient payments.”

RevSure will maintain the full list of features available with the legacy Health iPASS product, which includes the following:


  • Smart appointment reminders

  • Insurance verification

  • Check-in and check-out kiosks

  • Patient cost estimator

  • Electronic statements

  • Digital billing, including payment plans

  • Online bill pay portal

About Health iPASS

Health iPASS gets your practice paid. High deductible healthcare plans are making it tougher to collect from patients, resulting in a significant reduction of provider operating income. Health iPASS transforms patient bad debt into guaranteed revenue, decreasing patient A/R in a way that your patients love. Our innovative product suite is designed to engage at every step of the patient journey, from pre-arrival to final payment. Throughout the process, we provide patients with peace-of-mind through price transparency, so they know what they owe. Health iPASS is committed to delivering better check-ins for patients and better revenue for medical practices.
