Infusio Announces EVO Takeover of Management and Facilities


EVO, a renowned health & wellness institute has acquired the INFUSIO® franchise with locations in Beverly Hills, California, and Frankfurt, Germany. The launch will take place February 1st 2020 and marks the end of the Infusio treatment concept which was established in Germany in 2011 and opened its first treatment center in the U.S. in 2014.

EVO stands for evolve – vitalize – optimize. Its menu of services will focus on diabetes care, burnout management, exosome therapy as well as offer support for patients with cancer, CFS/ME, Lyme Disease, Lupus and auto immune disease. Also, EVO is introducing the latest research in cell-based treatments for traumatic brain injury caused by concussion, stroke and repeated micro-trauma.

In the US, EVO’s sports medicine treatments will cater to active individuals & athletes with its stem-cell based treatments for joint injuries and back pain. In addition, the EVO Beverly Hills facility will offer Emsculpt®, SaltFacial®, aesthetic treatments and customized skincare.

The EVO Frankfurt treatment center is proud to become one of the few clinics in Europe to offer a revolutionary new treatment for cancer patients. In collaboration with a state-of-the-art laboratory, personalized cancer vaccines are used to apply highly individualized immunotherapies and offer hope and treatment alternatives to cancer patients. The therapy combines dendritic cells with peptides, which are individually crafted by sequencing material from the patient’s tumor and microparticles in the blood. This new technology marks a new era in individualized cancer treatment and is considered the future of personalized immunotherapy. This method is not only applicable for the supportive treatment of cancer but can also be adapted for the treatment of autoimmune disease, ME/CFS and Lyme disease.

Another unique therapy EVO will be offering is pulsatile intravenous insulin therapy known as PIVIT. This treatment is currently being pioneered in the US as an option for patients with Diabetes Type 1 and Type 2 as well as a solution for many of the associated diabetic complications such as neuropathy, nephropathy and erectile disfunction. Initial studies show that 93% of patients with neuropathy are showing significant improvement or complete remission. As this treatment focusses on metabolic restoration it can be applied to patients with metabolic syndrome and chronic inflammatory disease.

EVO will be offering a new format of wellness and holistic healthcare, transforming the old infrastructure and protocols while also implementing new team members with the expertise in patient care, science & medicine. Jonathan Kohanim, Director of Operations, says what clients can expect: “We are excited to offer cutting-edge treatments on two continents creating a state-of-the-art health & wellness retreat that offers clients everything to achieve optimal health and have you look and feel your best.”

Dr. Amin Javid, EVO’s musculoskeletal specialist says: “EVO is the perfect fusion of wellness and science. Our patients come here because everything is offered under one roof right in the heart of Beverly Hills. For me, this is the future of healthcare”

Healthcare Lending Partnership Delivers Solution Banks, Providers and Patients Need


News Image

“Epic River enables healthcare providers to get paid in full and up front by connecting with community banks and credit unions within our network,” said Jeff Grobaski.

Epic River, a patient lending network that facilitates relationships between healthcare providers and financial institutions, has partnered with global financial technology leader Finastra to integrate a 50-state compliance solution into Epic River’s Patient Lending platform.

Working with Finastra’s Fusion LaserPro Origination Solution, the Epic River platform now automates compliance and regulatory changes state by state in real time. With expanding consumer privacy and data protection laws, this technology solution simplifies the growing complexity for banks and providers.

“Millions of patients can’t afford unexpected medical bills, healthcare providers are losing control of collection costs, and community banks just need the right tool to help both,” said Epic River CEO Jeff Grobaski. “Epic River enables healthcare providers to get paid in full and up front by connecting with community banks and credit unions within our network. By partnering with Finastra, lenders now have full compliance assurance, allowing all healthcare providers to help their patients afford the care they deserve.”

It’s a win/win all around.”

The integration of an automated document delivery and compliance solution into the Epic River network creates a revolutionary new lending product. “This is perhaps one of the most significant financing innovations since the auto loan,” said Epic River Director of Product Jessica Toney. “The partnership with Finastra’s LaserPro technology brings financial institutions a formidable new way to deliver welcome relief to patients and healthcare providers who would otherwise be left to choose between high-interest credit card debt, lawsuits, predatory lenders and bankruptcy.”

ConnectYourCare Releases Benefits Broker Industry Research Report


News Image

ConnectYourCare remains committed to mapping to broker needs and bolstering our broker partnerships through excellent customer service, innovative technology, and a host of unique solutions for employers of all sizes.

ConnectYourCare, a national leader in consumer-directed health care account solutions, today announced the release of its first benefits broker research report, “The Broker Guide to Refining Benefits Strategies for 2020 and Beyond.”

This report, which surveyed health care benefits brokers across the United States, uncovers current challenges brokers are facing and how the role has evolved due to changing employer needs.

Reported findings show that navigating the rising costs of health care benefits, while considering employee experience and the need for integrated technology, are top challenges for benefits brokers. When asked to rank the importance of certain topics to their position, 68 percent of benefits brokers reported that ways to maximize client cost savings was considered of utmost importance.

Cost wasn’t everything, however. When brokers were later asked the most likely reason they would consider changing their clients’ third-party administrator, “service and support for participants” won out at 56 percent, while “better pricing in the current market” came in far behind at 15 percent.

Technology is also top of mind for brokers, as 44 percent reported that giving clients access to a self-service platform to manage their employees would make it easier to manage and recommend tax-advantaged accounts.

Based on the study results, the report also offers insights for refining the health care broker benefits strategy to better service employer clients—and their employees—in the new decade, including tips for recommending cost-effective technology and ways to remain a valuable advisor in a tumultuous health care benefits landscape.

“The role of a benefits broker has drastically shifted toward universal consultancy in the last decade, and brokers have much to consider when recommending a health care benefits package and third-party administrator,” says Steve Grieco, ConnectYourCare Chief Executive Officer. “ConnectYourCare remains committed to mapping to broker needs and bolstering our broker partnerships through excellent customer service, innovative technology, and a host of unique solutions for employers of all sizes.”

This inaugural report is now available on the ConnectYourCare website. Download your complete copy here: http://bit.ly/cyc-broker-survey.

About ConnectYourCare

As a consumer-directed health care pioneer and nationally recognized industry leader, ConnectYourCare delivers a comprehensive solution supporting health care savings accounts and expanded tax-advantaged offerings.

Small Door Launches First Tech-Enabled Veterinary Practice in New York City’s West Village


Small Door Inc., a company reimagining the veterinary experience with a membership model that delivers a new standard in pet health by integrating the latest in medical advances, modern technology, and hospitality, has opened its flagship practice in New York’s West Village.

For the first time, pet parents have access to a veterinary experience that provides the same level of convenience and innovation that technology has brought to every other industry, from food service to fashion to transportation. Small Door is building the most trusted brand in veterinary; all members have access to:

  • 24/7 access to Small Door’s trusted medical team via web and mobile app
  • Best-in-class care delivered by carefully vetted doctors
  • Transparent pricing that demystifies complex invoices and procedures
  • State-of-the-art facilities with the latest advanced medical technology
  • Welcoming and stress-free environments for pets and pet parents

“The idea for Small Door was born from personal experience,” explained Josh Guttman, Small Door Co-founder and CEO. “Several years ago, my dog Morris was sick, and I had a terrible time trying to navigate the veterinary landscape. The experience cost a lot of money without providing clear answers, and left me feeling frustrated and helpless. I learned that the system wasn’t working for the doctors or staff either. By focusing on prevention and wellness, providing clear treatment plans, and designing welcoming spaces, we can improve health outcomes for our pets and create better working environments for our staff. We’re thrilled to open our doors and provide our members with a new standard of veterinary care.”

“We’re delighted to open our first Small Door practice in New York City’s West Village and provide local pet parents with access to best-in-class health care,” Florent Peyre, Small Door Co-founder and President. “At Small Door, we’re taking a unique approach to animal health that focuses on three main constituencies: our members, patients, and employees. By combining doctors trained at some of the world’s leading veterinary schools with state-of-the-art equipment and best-in-class technology, we’ve created a better experience from start to finish that we believe will also provide better health outcomes. We encourage pet parents to come visit our practice, say hello, and review our membership options.”

About Small Door

Small Door is a New York-based startup reimagining the veterinary experience. Founded by Florent Peyre and Josh Guttman as a public-benefit corporation, Small Door takes a pet-first approach to veterinary care that combines tech-enabled convenience with consumer hospitality to deliver a best-in-class care. Through a membership model, Small Door provides access to stress-free spaces, carefully vetted doctors, transparent pricing, and technology that offers 24/7 access to your medical team.

Santa Rosa Consulting and Southern Illinois Healthcare Announces Partnership to Establish a Comprehensive Test Automation Program


News Image

“Santa Rosa’s test automation program… will provide dual value by delivering significant time savings for our existing team to focus on higher value activities while also allowing us to dramatically increase testing capacity, scope and frequency without adding new staff.”

Santa Rosa Consulting, Inc., a leading provider of test automation solutions and technical services exclusively to the healthcare industry, announced today that Southern Illinois Healthcare (SIH) has partnered with the firm to establish a comprehensive test automation program for its Epic EHR. SIH is a prominent multi-hospital health system dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of the many communities it serves.

Like many organizations, they recognize that the traditional, manual testing simply cannot keep up with the growing complexity of their IT ecosystem coupled with increasingly frequent and complex Epic releases. Our test automation program, therefore, is a critical aspect of mitigating risks to patient safety, clinical care and revenue cycle integrity.”

“Santa Rosa’s test automation program is head and shoulders above anything else we found in the market. It will provide dual value by delivering significant time savings for our existing team to focus on higher value activities while also allowing us to dramatically increase testing capacity, scope and frequency without adding new staff,” said Megan McFarland, Interim CIO at SIH. “Santa Rosa has an extensive track record in delivering high-impact solutions to SIH, and we are confident test automation will do the same.”

Santa Rosa’s test automation program is the only end-to-end solution powered by Epic certified testing engineers and accelerated through a national library of Epic automated test scripts for all major modules. Automated test scripts are customized to each organization’s unique build and workflows. Santa Rosa’s engineers then meticulously update those scripts over time to reflect ongoing changes to Epic. Uninterrupted benefits are realized not only in testing but in system adoption, education and training, and optimization.
