The upcoming episode on “In Depth” with Laurence Fishburne will further explore patient-focused care and personalized integrative medicine.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (PRWEB)

American actor, producer, and playwright, Laurence Fishburne, is the host of the educational program “In Depth”. The show interviews experts about a wide array of topics to educate its viewing audience about issues taking place in the world today. A new episode will plunge into the medical field by discussing personalized integrative medicine.

Integrative medicine differs from standard medical treatment. This type of care takes a patient-focused approach. Putting the patient first means taking time to get to know the patient and taking into consideration their beliefs and values in regards to their health. Conventional medicine focuses primarily on the disease, whereas integrative medicine takes into account a patient’s emotional, physical, spiritual, mental, and environment.

Often western medicine misinterprets symptoms as diseases, whereas integrative medicine works to treat the underlying causes for an individual’s symptoms. Research shows there is a connection between the immune system and brain and a person’s emotional state and disease. Integrative medicine uses laboratory and genetic testing to determine the appropriate route of treatment for a patient’s needs. This approach uses treatments that encourage the body’s healing process by removing barriers to healing and providing the body with what it requires to achieve optimal health. The least invasive procedures, which include natural evidence-based, are used first instead of more severe options when appropriate.

The upcoming episode on “In Depth” with Laurence Fishburne will further explore patient-focused care and personalized integrative medicine.

“In Depth” with Laurence Fishburne is carefully reviewed before broadcast. The informational program has accepted several accolades.

The U.S. hospital market has been “in transition” for years. Predictions that strong regional systems would form across state lines are now a reality. Small community and rural hospitals are either finding partners in larger systems or are closing. Divestiture programs from some for-profit chains are winding down, resulting in lighter geographic footprints and new strategic focus.

In this webinar, we’ll discuss the state of the hospital market now and headwinds that could affect M&A in the future, including upcoming surprise billing legislation, the Trump Administration’s push for price transparency requirements and the fate of the Affordable Care Act’s latest review by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Lisa Phillips, Editorial Director of HealthcareMandA.com, will host a discussion with experts in the hospital industry, including Bobby Guy, Shareholder, Polsinelli, Chris Schoeplein, Vice President, Ponder & Co., and Patrick Pilch, Managing Director and National Leader, The BDO Center for Healthcare Excellence & Innovation. The group will cover a wide range of questions, including where are the opportunities in the U.S. hospital market today, what is the potential impact on the market if the ACA is repealed, which regional systems are still expanding and which are selling, and more.

Our patient self-service tool for scheduling appointments compliments our provider self-service tool to send referrals directly from the client’s website.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (PRWEB)
March 12, 2020

ReferralMD, a leader in referral management and patient access, has announced that its care coordination platform now includes a patient engagement solution that allows patients as well as care coordinators to search for providers and schedule appointments from its customizable web portal.

Patients can search for doctors and specialists to find the right provider based on location, insurance, and appointment availability. Once the provider and location are selected, the patient books the appointment online and then receives a text or email confirmation message. Appointments can also be canceled or rescheduled online.

The user-friendly solution allows patients and care coordinators to search from a curated list of available providers filtered by network, location, insurance, condition, procedure, specialty, and much more. In addition, a responsive Google map is displayed showing the locations of the providers in the list. Online scheduling improves the patient experience by allowing healthcare consumers to manage appointments themselves on any device.

Healthcare providers can define rules in the system so appointment reminders, along with instructions, are automatically sent to patients. Reminders can be sent via text or email when referrals are ordered, or when appointments are scheduled, confirmed or canceled. In addition, automated follow-up messages such as surveys can be sent after patients are seen. These automated workflows for patient communications engage patients directly and lower no-show rates dramatically.

“Our patient self-service tool for scheduling appointments compliments our provider self-service tool for sending referrals directly from the client’s website,” said David Bongiovanni, CEO of ReferralMD. “Direct scheduling by patients along with our automated patient communications empowers healthcare consumers to interact directly with their providers and manage their appointments online.”

“Windsor facilities are committed to providing the safest possible environment to their residents, visitors and employees and will continue to implement best practices.”

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
March 12, 2020

Windsor facilities across California and Arizona are carefully monitoring the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and are employing multiple strategies to limit the possible spread of the virus. Many of these steps are the same as those the facilities use every day to detect and prevent the spread of other respiratory viruses. They are also closely following the recently released guidelines published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

Some of the specific steps being taken are:

a) Posting signs at the entrance instructing visitors not to enter if they have symptoms of a respiratory infection.

b) Advising employees to stay home if they have symptoms of a respiratory infection.

c) Assessing residents’ symptoms of respiratory infection upon admission to the facility and implementing appropriate infection prevention procedures for incoming symptomatic residents.

d) Residents with fever or acute respiratory infections will be restricted to their rooms.

e) Communicating regularly with local and state public health sources regarding the disease and its spread.

f) Supporting hand and respiratory hygiene, as well as cough etiquette by resident, visitors and employees. This includes: (i) ensuring employees clean their hands according to CDC guidelines; (ii) increasing the availability and use of alcohol based hand rubs; (iii) making sure tissues are available and sinks are well stocked with soap and paper towels for hand washing,

g) Increasing their stock of personal protective equipment.

“Windsor facilities are committed to providing the safest possible environment to their residents, visitors and employees and will continue to implement best practices,” says Heidi Capela, Vice President of Clinical Services. “We will continue to remain in contact with federal, state and local authorities to ensure they stay abreast of all relevant developments.”

This technology suite is a hub for patients and residents who will need medical support and treatment as many Skilled Nursing Centers try to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus while still working to provide around the clock care.

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. (PRWEB)
March 12, 2020

MediTelecare, the nation’s leading provider of behavioral telehealth services for the skilled nursing, post-acute, and long term care markets, is now allowing all of its skilled nursing facilities to utilize their televideo technology and platform for any medical provider in the wake of the Coronavirus Outbreak. The goal of opening access to MediTelecare’s platform beyond behavioral health services is to help these facilities be better prepared to provide more immediate care and connect their residents with the outside medical providers they need without exposing their at-risk population.

MediTelecareGo!™ is a digital hub designed to equip partnering facilities with a secure online platform, televideo workstation on wheels, and a tech-library of helpful resources, which enable the facility staff to link residents to outside medical practitioners virtually. The company is now providing this expanded use of its platform during the Coronavirus crisis to all contracted facilities and medical practitioners within their network who wish to help reduce the risk of outside contact to patients and residents by using telehealth connectivity. This is especially helpful to long-term care facilities who are now limiting outside access to protect their vulnerable senior population, yet still need to deliver specialized care for these residents.

CEO and Founder of MediTelecare, Ed Mercadante, commented, “This technology suite is a hub for patients and residents who will need medical support and treatment as many Skilled Nursing Centers try to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus while still working to provide around the clock care. MediTelecareGo!™ is the platform that can help these facilities to provide a ‘care in place environment’ with the goal of helping to reduce hospitalizations and improve outcomes.”

The company is rapidly rolling out its MediTelecareGo!™ technology and has provided an FAQ on telehealth access at http://www.MediTelecare.com.

About MediTelecare: MediTelecare is the industry leader in providing behavioral telehealth services to residents of skilled nursing and assisted living facilities. The company’s clinical team consists of psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, psychologists, and clinical social workers providing behavioral telehealth services to approximately 20,000 residents in over 250 Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF) across 16 states. MediTelecare services utilize synchronous Televideo with face-to-face communication, and other virtual telemedicine technologies to streamline diagnostic evaluations and design personalized treatment plans for each resident’s needs.
