…helping PAINWeekEnd attendees understand medical necessity for substance abuse treatment, drug testing, and prescribing controlled medications

MONTCLAIR, N.J. (PRWEB)
September 10, 2019

PAINWeekEnd, on September 28 at the Warner Center Marriott Woodland Hills, 21850 W Oxnard Street in California, will be a timely full-day program providing busy clinicians and allied healthcare practitioners with 6.0 hours of relevant, practical instruction in the management of chronic pain.

In 2018, the California legislature passed new laws intended to address the crisis of opioid abuse in the state. Among the bills signed are new requirements for standardized and serialized prescription pads; enhancements to pain related CME requirements that mandate instruction in addiction risk; and direction that prescribers of opioid medications provide access to, and education in, the use of naloxone. Additional regulatory measures are scheduled to go into effect. Senior faculty member Jennifer Bolen, JD, is the founder of The Legal Side of Pain in Knoxville, Tennessee. She observed, “As payer policies for treatment continue to evolve, it is important that providers take steps to stay current on the legal and regulatory environment that may affect their practice and their patients. To that end, I look forward to helping PAINWeekEnd attendees understand medical necessity for substance abuse treatment, drug testing, and prescribing controlled medications.” Attorney Bolen will present two courses at PAINWeekEnd: Get Your Specimens in Order: Timely Use of Test Results, and Embrace Changes and Prevent Overdose: A Basic Blueprint for Legal Risk Mitigation and Response.

Other courses to be offered at PAINWeekEnd Woodland Hills include The Role of the Advanced Practice Provider in the Acute Care Setting; Involuntary Tapers: Legal, Ethical, and Clinical Concerns; Cannabis vs Cannabinoids: The Politics of Medical Marijuana; and Episodic Versus Chronic Migraine: An Update on Novel and Emerging Therapeutic Options.

Commercially supported activities—addressing a range of product, disease state, and medical information topics—will also be presented.

Stuart Long, CEO of Infobionic, underscores how remote monitoring and telemedicine can help solve the rural healthcare challenges.

“All patients deserve access to the best medical solutions, regardless of their location.”

WALTHAM, Mass. (PRWEB)
September 10, 2019

Patients who live in rural areas are in need of access to proper and convenient care. According to a 2018 study, over 85.5 million people in rural areas need better access to healthcare—this translates to a need of 4,022 doctors[1].

Compounding the need to improve access and for nearly the past decade the healthcare challenges in rural areas have worsened—with over 100 hospitals in 30 states having closed their doors since 2010. Texas has seen the most hospital closures at 20, followed by Tennessee with 12 and Georgia and Oklahoma tie for third with seven closures each[2].

However, with consumer health wearables on the rise, rural residents may not have to sacrifice time or convenience if their nearby hospital closes its doors. Telemedicine and remote monitoring are the best solutions for these scarcely populated areas. Stuart Long, CEO of InfoBionic, a leading remote cardiac monitoring company, notes that remote monitoring technologies are the best solution to help address these challenges.

“All patients deserve access to the best medical solutions, regardless of their location,” said Long. “It’s vital for healthcare providers to incorporate remote monitoring and telemedicine procedures into their longitudinal patient care plans.”

These closures also impact hospitals that remain open. A study funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) focused on the outcomes of rural closures on heart-attack patients, and the results are troubling. Patients experiencing heart-attack symptoms in rural areas are often forced to travel long distances to their closest emergency room. According to the study, when a patient’s travel time to the hospital was 30 minutes or more, the likelihood of a 30-day readmission increased by six percent, the one-year mortality rate increased by eight percent, and the likelihood of receiving the proper cardiac procedure declined by four percent[3].

These statistics prove the need for prompt solutions; telemedicine and remote monitoring come in a variety of forms, from apps to smart watches to even wearable fabrics. Popular brands like Fitbit or the Apple Watch are consumer products available for purchase that track steps taken, calories burned, sleep times and heartbeat patterns. Apps on these wearables can act as a liaison to remote diagnostic monitoring solutions, like InfoBionic’s MoMe Kardia.

The MoMe Kardia provides diagnostic remote cardiac monitoring that streams patient cardiac data to doctors in near real-time. For those in rural areas, the ability to be at home and have their health monitored is not only convenient–it may be their only option.

“The MoMe is one piece of the complex puzzle required to solve the rural healthcare challenge,” said Long. “Consumer wearables and apps are the first step, but there is a need for healthcare industry leaders to develop and implement programs to support remote networks to support patients and work with manufacturers to ensure the remote monitoring technology requirements can meet the healthcare demands of rural patient populations.”

BOISE, Idaho (PRWEB)
September 10, 2019

Voices of Cancer helps validate patients’ feelings and thoughts, as well as offering guidance to those supporting them, through lessons learned from the inevitable “cancer shift” in perspective that occurs post-diagnosis. This book contains insight that can help those on all walks of their journey:

• 
  Focus on what is really important
• Find joy in the small things
• Begin to accept physical, mental and emotional changes
• Vocalize the need for support and the acceptance of reality
• Learn to live beyond the diagnosis

Every cancer story is different, but there is one commonality: both patients and the people supporting them often struggle to properly articulate their wants and needs through particularly challenging – and in many cases, uncharted – territory. Voices of Cancer offers a candid look into the world of a cancer patient, informed by the author’s own story and conversations had with dozens of patients weighing in on their needs, wants, and dislikes as they navigate the complex world of diagnosis, treatment, and beyond.

With comprehensive and accessible insight from people who’ve been there, Voices of Cancer helps educate, dispel fears and start positive conversations about what a cancer diagnosis truly means, while shining a light on how best to support a loved one on their own terms.

Dude Solutions

We designed the Space Management module to help organizations visualize their work and capture exactly how space is utilized in the building to help with reimbursement reporting.

CARY, N.C. (PRWEB)
September 10, 2019

Dude Solutions, the leading software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider of operations management solutions, today introduced a Space Management module to their award-winning computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), TheWorxHub™. This new Space Management module delivers an easy way to bring facilities to life and streamline work with visual interior maps, space utilization tools and configurable layers for compliance information.

With the enhanced Space Management functionality, hospitals and senior living communities can create a visualization of building interiors by uploading a PDF, CAD or other image format to TheWorxHub. This digital floor plan allows facilities and maintenance teams to plot work orders and assets, group work by location, and streamline staffing and scheduling. Additionally, users can organize space by department and location and use square footage calculations to see how the space is being utilized by its primary occupants.

“We understand that hospitals and senior living communities face inefficiencies in organizing and locating paper-based drawings and artifacts. Not having a centralized repository of architectural and life safety drawings can lead to time wasted flipping through binders, returning to an office where they’re pinned to the wall or interrupting others to find the data,” said Josh Malbogat, Director of Healthcare at Dude Solutions. “We designed the Space Management module to help organizations visualize their work with a mobile-friendly facility map that not only connects critical work for staff and contractors, but also captures how space is utilized in the building to help with reimbursement reporting.”

Space visualizations, layering and mapping addresses Life Safety Code, NFPA and Joint Commission requirements, such as evacuation routes or medical gas shut-offs, are added to facility maps for survey and inspection readiness and understanding high-risk or problematic areas. Historical information on equipment and work orders is also documented for consistency when employees leave or when onboarding new staff.

TheWorxHub platform was announced as a Vision Award winner in the Smart Buildings/IoT/Software category. The awards program, sponsored by FacilitiesNet.com, recognizes products that contribute to the efficient and profitable operations and management of institutional and commercial buildings in the United States.

…We are excited to be working with the Hampden County Sheriff’s Department on this important step in advancing the message that addiction is a disease just like diabetes or cancer and evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as MAT should be available to all patients.

CRANSTON, R.I. (PRWEB)
September 10, 2019

CODAC Behavioral Healthcare, the largest non-profit, outpatient provider for opioid treatment in Rhode Island, today announced the expansion of its services to treat addiction during incarceration to Hampden County, MA. CODAC, which worked with the Rhode Island Department of Corrections (RIDOC) in launching the nation’s first program to screen all inmates for opioid use disorder (OUD) and provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for those in need, has been selected by the Hampden County Sheriff’s Department to implement a similar program in Hampden County, MA at each of its correctional facilities. The program began on September 1.

Nearly two-thirds of incarcerated people suffer from substance use disorders and, compared to the rest of the adult population, the opioid-related overdose death rate is 120 times higher for persons released from prisons and jails. The consensus best-practice approach for opioid-addiction treatment is MAT, and recent legislation in Massachusetts and other states has called for an increase in access to addiction medications for prisoners with a demonstrated need to help ease withdrawal symptoms and lower the risk of relapse when released.    

CODAC’s nationally praised MAT program with RIDOC was associated with a 61 percent decrease in post-incarceration deaths and contributed to an overall drop in overdose deaths statewide in RI, as reported by a Brown University study and published in JAMA Psychiatry. CODAC is now also licensed as an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) provider in Massachusetts.

“In the midst of our nation’s opioid epidemic, we are excited to be working with the Hampden County Sheriff’s Department on this important step in advancing the message that addiction is a disease just like diabetes or cancer and evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as MAT should be available to all patients,” said Linda Hurley, President/CEO of CODAC. “What we have accomplished in RIDOC has proven beneficial to the entire state. It’s scalable and feasible elsewhere, and we are always willing to help other states implement similar programs.”

In Hampden County, opioid overdose deaths increased 84 percent from 2017 to 2018, even as the rate of deaths declined in much of the rest of the state. The Hampden County Sheriff’s Department MAT initiative is part of a statewide pilot program established in 2018 by the Massachusetts Sheriffs’ Association to provide MAT at five county correctional facilities in the Commonwealth: Middlesex, Franklin, Norfolk, Hampden and Hampshire. (Essex and Suffolk counties later asked to join the program.)

“Medication Assisted Treatment, along with the appropriate group and one on one counseling, is one more tool in our addiction recovery tool box we are now providing inmates,” said Hampden Sheriff Nicholas Cocchi. “There has been a great sense of relief among the people who come to us knowing they will be able to continue their treatment thanks to our staff and the medical professionals working with us on behalf of CODAC Behavioral Healthcare. Medication Assisted Treatment just makes sense and providing it is the right thing to do.”

The MAT program to be administered by CODAC to inmates at Hampden County correctional facilities will mirror the RIDOC program in offering counseling and behavioral therapies along with access to all three FDA-approved addiction medications: methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. Clinical criteria and inmate preference will be used to tailor the best treatment to each patient’s individual needs. CODAC will operate a dispensary inside the Hampden County House of Correction to provide real-time MAT services, seven days per week.

The program will allow for continuation of MAT, new inductions and pre-release access. For those inmates who enter with an active MAT prescription, once a medication is confirmed, they will be allowed to continue their treatment regimen while incarcerated. Those inmates committed who report opioid use, past or present, will be assessed for eligibility and started on MAT, as appropriate. In addition, inmates who are currently sentenced, and not on medication, may be eligible to be started on MAT prior to release (this population typically includes inmates who were committed prior to the program starting, were not offered treatment/were withdrawn from their MAT treatment, and request to be stabilized on a medication prior to release).

Upon release, former inmates will return to their communities with a coordinated post-release plan to ensure continuity of care and assist in re-entry. Further, data collected from the Hampden County Sheriff’s Department’s MAT Initiative will be given to public agencies to help establish best practices that can be used in the state for serving this vulnerable population.

About CODAC Behavioral Healthcare

CODAC Behavioral Healthcare, a non-profit organization founded in 1971, is Rhode Island’s oldest and largest provider of outpatient services for opioid use disorder, other substance use disorders, and concurrent behavioral health challenges. With eight locations across Rhode Island, CODAC has attained Center of Excellence designations for each of its treatment sites. CODAC has done extensive work with individuals involved in the criminal justice system since 1994 and, in 2016, launched a program with the Rhode Island Department of Corrections (RIDOC) that was the first of its kind in the United States to screen all inmates for opioid use disorder and provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for those in need. Results from CODAC’s RIDOC program have been studied and published, and the program has been recognized as “a model for all 50 states” by the Department of Justice, SAMHSA and multiple other national agencies. In addition, CODAC is now licensed in Massachusetts to operate an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP). For more information about CODAC, visit: http://www.codacinc.org

“We commend our Church partners who have targeted overlooked families and individuals to meet needs after a disaster in non-traditional ways,” said Katie Mears, Senior Director for Episcopal Relief & Development’s US Disaster Program.

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
September 10, 2019

Episcopal Relief & Development is working with Church partners to provide critical support to the most vulnerable communities impacted by Hurricane Dorian.

In partnership with the Episcopal Diocese of Central Florida, the Episcopal Church in South Carolina, the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia, and the Episcopal Farmworker Ministry, Episcopal Relief & Development is giving assistance such as food, water, clothing, shelter and other emergency supplies to individuals and families affected by the storm. The organization is also working through the Anglican Alliance to provide support to the Anglican Diocese of the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos as they continue to assess the needs of communities.

Since late August, Episcopal Relief & Development staff has been in regular contact with Episcopal dioceses and other Church partners in the path of Hurricane Dorian to support both preparedness and relief efforts. The slow-moving storm passed through Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, and up the eastern coast of the United States over Labor Day weekend and the first week in September. Hurricane Dorian slammed into the northern Bahamas as a Category 5 storm, devastating Grand Bahama and the Abaco Islands with torrential winds, rains and a storm surge of up to 25 feet. More than 70,000 were affected and the full extent of the destruction is yet to be determined.

Working through the Anglican Alliance, Episcopal Relief & Development is providing support as the Anglican Diocese of the Bahamas & the Turks and Caicos conducts needs assessments of the island communities. Led by the Rt. Rev. Laish Z. Boyd, diocesan staff and clergy, many of whom themselves have been impacted by the storm, are working to identify unmet needs of the most vulnerable communities. It is in these gaps that the Church can play a unique role, both in immediate relief and in long-term recovery.

In Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina, coastal areas were evacuated in advance of Hurricane Dorian, leaving many restaurant and farmworkers without a source of income as their places of employment shut down. The Episcopal Church in South Carolina and the Diocese of Georgia, as well as the Episcopal Farmworker Ministry, stepped in by providing gas, food, water, clothing and other emergency supplies.

With the support of Episcopal Relief & Development, the Diocese of Central Florida provided non-perishable food and drinking water, emergency shelter and hurricane preparedness kits ahead of the storm to vulnerable communities including those who are homeless and people displaced from Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.

“After disasters, underserved and marginalized populations will likely be impacted whether the storm causes extensive physical damage or not,” said Katie Mears, Senior Director for Episcopal Relief & Development’s US Disaster Program. “Evacuations can be expensive both in terms of the costs to evacuate and in the lost wages from the displacement. We commend our Church partners who have targeted overlooked families and individuals to meet needs after a disaster in non-traditional ways.”

Episcopal Relief & Development’s US Disaster Program works in areas across the United States that have been affected by disasters such as hurricanes. The organization’s Disaster Preparedness Initiative equips Episcopal dioceses to prepare for and respond to crises. By offering resources and training and providing emergency support, the program helps vulnerable groups of people to make a full and sustained recovery and helps them to develop resiliency against future disasters. Many of the dioceses impacted by Hurricane Dorian have been working to develop this resilience and were ready to respond as needed.

To learn more about building a Season of Resilience and to download disaster preparedness resources, visit episcopalrelief.org/resilience.

Donations to the Hurricane Relief Fund will help Episcopal Relief & Development’s partners respond to the storm in the most efficient way possible. Many partners are not in a position to receive, store or distribute donations of physical goods or effectively use volunteer assistance at this time.

Please continue to pray for the individuals and families affected by Hurricane Dorian as well as the first-responders providing emergency assistance. Church bulletin inserts can be found here.

For over 75 years, Episcopal Relief & Development has been working together with supporters and partners for lasting change around the world. Each year the organization facilitates healthier, more fulfilling lives for more than 3 million people struggling with hunger, poverty, disaster and disease. Inspired by Jesus’ words in Matthew 25, Episcopal Relief & Development leverages the expertise and resources of Anglican and other partners to deliver measurable and sustainable change in three signature program areas: Women, Children and Climate.
