With our EHR-integrated eConsult solution, we are excited to offer our clients the option of leveraging their own network specialty care providers or connecting with ConferMED’s specialists via our platform.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (PRWEB)
September 24, 2019

ReferralMD, a leader in referral management and patient access technology, and ConferMED, a premier eConsult platform developed by primary care providers, are joining forces to improve access to specialty care for patients without ready access to highly-sought specialties, including Endocrinology, Cardiology and Dermatology and more than forty others.

This partnership combines the benefits of rapid specialist response, minimal workflow disruption, and enhanced patient experience with an intelligent platform featuring robust referral management tools that can be used both as a standalone or electronic health record (EHR) integrated solution.

With ConferMED’s national network of board-certified specialists in adult and pediatric fields and ReferralMD’s referral management platform and EHR integration experience, the partnership brings a seamless integrated solution to primary care providers looking to confer with specialists prior to referring patients for face-to-face visits.

Daren Anderson MD, Director of ConferMED, states, “our data consistently show that upwards of 85 percent of patients referred to common specialties, do not require a face-to-face visit with a specialist. These data, coupled with a shortage of specialty providers, indicate an urgent need for a telehealth solution such as ConferMED. Our partnership with ReferralMD will help us address the need and substantially improve access to specialty services.”

“With our EHR-integrated eConsult solution, we are excited to offer our clients the option of leveraging their own network specialty care providers or connecting with ConferMED’s specialists via our platform,” said Rick Hammer, Chief Product Officer at ReferralMD. “The seamless solution eliminates unnecessary face-to-face specialty care visits, reduces costs and improves the patient’s experience.”

The 2020 Trends Report Infographic provides a high-level overview of the Connex 2020 Trends Report.

Multi-site facilities management changes daily, and the Connex 2020 Trends Report helps our members understand new trends. It also provides insights into the: entertainment, and financial FM markets as well as other critical issues.

DALLAS (PRWEB)
September 24, 2019

Connex (previously the Professional Retail Store Maintenance Association), the authority on multi-site facilities management, released its annual review of the state of multi-site facilities management and key trends impacting the nation’s leading retailers, multi-site healthcare facilities, entertainment facilities, banks and suppliers.

The industry-leading report identifies six major trends driving the multi-site facilities management (FM) industry. They include changing demographics, the rise of multi-site entertainment facilities, FM in the financial services industry, microgrids and energy resilience, new FM technology, and small-concept stores. These trends are driving change across the industry and will require facilities executives adapt new strategies and tactics to succeed.

“Multi-site facilities management changes daily, and the Connex 2020 Trends Report helps our members understand new trends. It also provides insights into the entertainment and financial FM markets, as well as other critical issues,” said Myriah Kingen, Director, Facilities Management at DaVita Kidney Care and Board Chair of Connex.

A breakdown of the major trends includes:

• 
  Stronger Together: In multi-site facilities management (FM), an industry so reliant upon bringing many people to the table, attracting and building a diverse workforce with widely varied perspectives and skill sets is crucial. Facilities management faces a critical labor shortage, and now is the time to create the workforce of tomorrow.
• Action-packed Entertainment: People want entertainment experiences—and businesses are listening. Adapting to this market trend, multi-site entertainment venues are expanding at a rapid rate. They provide customers the opportunity to create memories, as opposed to simply exchanging money for goods.
• Moving Money in the New Frontier: In recent years, several large regional and national banks have closed branches, opting for more technology-based customer service portals to reduce costs and streamline customer interactions. But as it turns out, the physical presence of customers is still needed and desired, and facilities of varying stripes are still required.
• Powering Up: To avert power loss, businesses are investing in technology that promises energy resilience and sustainability – the ability to keep the lights on or recover quickly, while maximizing renewable energy. Among these technologies, microgrids can keep the power on the longest and boost sustainability.
• Expanding Tech Options: Facility managers continually strive to make facilities’ operations more efficient, reduce costs and adhere to increasingly stringent environmental expectations. While there are no one-size-fits-all solutions, FM technology being introduced today can help FMs make progress toward these goals.
• Small Stores, Big Concepts: Small-format stores are popping up everywhere. Retail giants hope smaller, more conveniently located stores make it easier for customers to return products — and to buy online and pick up in-store. But will these new formats create unique challenges for FMs?

Download the Connex 2020 Trends Report and 2020 Trends Report Infographic to learn more about how changes in the multi-site facility industry are impacting retail facilities management today.

The 2020 Trends Report will be a topic of discussion during the Connex Mid-Year Connexion events in the U.S. and Canada. Held each fall, these events provide strategic direction and tactical guidance for multi-site facilities management professionals. April 20 – 22, 2020, the Connex2020 National Conference will be held in Orlando, FL, and will host the largest annual gathering of multi-site facilities management professionals in the nation.

September 24, 2019

Avalon Realty Associates – a full service commercial real estate company – has announced it will be one of the sponsors of GRIN2B Foundation’s first cocktail reception fundraiser, Gather for GRIN2B. The event will be held at Found Kitchen and Social House in Evanston on Monday, October 7 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Proceeds from the benefit will fund research on GRIN2B-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder, which is caused by variations on the GRIN2B gene.

“Avalon is proud to support the GRIN2B Foundation and happy to assist in an effort to help individuals and families impacted by GRIN2B,” said Carlo Santucci, partner at Avalon Realty Associates.

GRIN2B is a gene on the short arm of the 12th chromosome. It’s part of a family of seven genes that encode proteins to form a receptor that relays chemical messages between neurons in the brain, according to GRIN2B Foundation. Individuals affected by a GRIN2B variation can experience developmental delays, speech delay or lack of speech, and low muscle tone, among other symptoms. Associated conditions can also include seizures, cortical visual impairment, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and/or intellectual disabilities.

The GRIN2B Foundation is a parent-run organization committed to furthering research on the GRIN2B gene and to providing support for individuals and families affected by variations on the gene.

Some other corporate sponsors of Gather for GRIN2B include Stratosphere Networks, Little Steps Pediatric Therapy, Accounting Concepts, Lubin Austermuehle, P.C., and Rothman Law Group.

What is special about this meeting is the high-quality didactic lectures with a great faculty and the small group feel which maximizes the participant experience and creates a stimulating interactive learning environment.

WAUSAU, Wis. (PRWEB)
September 23, 2019

The latest techniques and treatments in aesthetic laser medicine will be presented at the 10th Annual ASLMS Laser Aesthetics Course on December 7-8, 2019 in Tucson, Arizona.

This popular weekend course, hosted by the American Society for Laser Medicine & Surgery, Inc.

“We will have a new format with a full one-day thorough laser didactic session, followed by a unique half-day session highlighting live patient laser demonstrations, and some opportunity to have some “hands-on” training with a variety of laser devices,” said Goldberg. “The hands-on training will take place in an intimate private practice clinic small group setting, with expert clinical faculty. The course will have a limited enrollment to maximize participant-faculty interaction and learning, which has been a hallmark of this meeting over the years.”

This year the course will be held in Tucson, Arizona. Day one sessions will take place at the Sheraton Tucson and the day two laser demonstrations will be held at Goldberg’s Pima Dermatology Clinic in Tucson.

The course provides a broad overview of devices used in aesthetic applications to achieve optimum clinical outcomes. Topics include: Non-Ablative Rejuvenation, IPL, Microneedling and RF Microneedling, Laser Treatment of Vascular Lesions, Pigmented Lesions, Scars, Tattoos and Ethnic Skin, Laser Hair Removal, Fractional Ablative and Full Field Ablative CO2 and Erbium Resurfacing, Non-Invasive Body Contouring, Fat Reduction, Skin Tightening, Laser Complications and Laser Safety, Combining Lasers and Devices to Enhance Outcomes, and Combining Laser and Energy Sources with Cosmetic Injectables.

“What is special about this meeting is the high-quality didactic lectures with a great faculty and the small group feel which maximizes the participant experience and creates a stimulating interactive learning environment, said Goldberg. “The added bonus this year is to include some live patient demonstrations as well as an opportunity to have some “hands-on” experience with a number of lasers in a private practice clinical setting.”

Dr. Gerald N. Goldberg is an internationally recognized dermatologist with unique experience in laser surgery spanning more than 3 decades. Being board-certified in pediatrics and dermatology he has a special interest and expertise in the laser treatment of vascular birthmarks in children as well as in laser skin resurfacing.
