Allegheny Health Network Program for Older Adults Receives Top Designation from American Geriatrics Society

Leave a comment


Designed to enhance care for older adults during a hospital stay, the Allegheny Health Network (AHN) Division of Geriatrics’ Hospital Elder Life Program (HELP) is among a small number of programs nationwide that have received the ‘Center of Excellence’ designation

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Allegheny Health Network’s (AHN) Division of Geriatrics, part of the AHN Primary Care Institute, and the AHN Nursing Institute announced today that its Hospital Elder Life Program (HELP) has been awarded ‘Center of Excellence’ (COE) status by the American Geriatrics Society (AGS). AHN is one of just seven sites nationally to achieve the COE designation, out of approximately 200 programs implemented across the country and around the world.

The esteemed designation was awarded following AHN’s demonstration of a longstanding commitment to the AGS care model, formally known as ‘CoCare®: HELP,’ and for sustaining and expanding the program across AHN. The program was first implemented at AHN’s West Penn Hospital before expanding to Allegheny General Hospital (AGH).

According to AGS, HELP is a well-studied, effective and innovative model of hospital care designed to prevent both delirium and functional decline among older patients. The program is intended to integrate the principles of geriatrics into standard nursing and medical care on any hospital unit, and to bring geriatric expertise to bear on patient care decisions. Among the program’s benefits, it has been demonstrated to improve patient outcomes and satisfaction of care, lower costs of care, reduce hospital readmissions, and more.

Supported by an AHN multidisciplinary care team, onsite elder nurse life specialists work alongside specially trained hospital volunteers at AGH and West Penn to provide targeted interventions and address a broad scope of geriatric issues known to contribute to cognitive and functional decline during hospitalization. This can include cognitive orientation and stimulation activities, therapeutic activities, sleep enhancement strategies, exercise and mobilization, hearing and vision aids, feeding assistance and dehydration prevention, family support and education and individualized discharge planning.

“This status recognizes our adherence to national program standards, honors our achievement of favorable patient outcomes, and provides AHN the opportunity to serve as an educational site for acute geriatric care,” said Lyn Weinberg, MD, geriatrician and director of the Division of Geriatrics at AHN. “We are extremely grateful to the American Geriatrics Society for recognizing our program in this special way and appreciate their continued partnership in the care of older adults at AHN.”

Dr. Weinberg says that with the successful implementation and sustainment of HELP at West Penn and AGH, the division intends to gradually expand the program to other AHN hospitals.

SAFE Credit Union Hosts Interactive Financial Literacy Workshops

Leave a comment


“I think it’s a wonderful opportunity for students to come learn how to manage their finances, what they should be doing to prepare for the real world while in college and set themselves up for success after they graduate,” says Sasha Margulies, ASI marketing coordinator.

Budget Cents is a simulation where each participant receives a persona that includes a family, debt, and income. They visit various stations representing major expenses, including childcare, housing and transportation costs.

At Sacramento State, SAFE representatives helped students with their budget and provided feedback to see how they successfully managed their money.

The event attracted participants from diverse backgrounds through outreach from the university’s ASI program. ASI offers services including a food pantry, childcare, a safe ride program and no-cost education events.

Students like Lorena Rodriguez appreciated the program’s insights. “The information to pay extra on the amount due to your credit card was very helpful,” she says. “I did not know that before.”

SAFE Credit Union Financial Wellness Manager Hector Madueno says students attending Budget Cents are most surprised “by how much things cost.”

“When we built this program, we looked at data for the Greater Sacramento area. So, when they are running through it, they’re going to see actual housing costs, the actual costs of food or dining out,” he says.

Budget Cents programs are offered at no-cost.

“A lack of financial education can lead to young adults making mistakes that can impact them for years,” says SAFE Credit Union Vice President of Community Relations and Financial Education Rebecca Delmundo. “Helping young people learn positive spending and budgeting practices can position them for a better future, especially when it comes time for those major life milestones like buying a house, new car, or starting a family.”

SAFE Credit Union is a not-for-profit, state-chartered credit union in Northern California with over $4.7 billion in assets and more than 236,000 members. Insured by NCUA.

Feel Therapeutics Announces Study Results of their Proprietary Digital Precision Medicine Platform, Validating Promising Impact on Mental Health Conditions

Leave a comment


Feel is leading the way by bringing precision medicine to mental health, starting with the collection of continuous passive and objective data from their proprietary Digital Precision Medicine Platform. Through this platform, Feel translates complex and heterogeneous data to generate a 360-degree view of a patient’s mental health. This information serves as a foundation for real-time, personalized support and interventions 24/7/365.

“Our vision is a world where precision medicine advances the treatment of mental health, enabling proactive and personalized interventions and, ultimately, empowering individuals to live healthier, happier lives,” said George Eleftheriou, CEO and co-founder of Feel Therapeutics. “The momentum in this field is undeniable, and by leveraging digital and physiological data from wearables and our mobile phones, we have an incredible opportunity to support individuals in the real world in a personalized way. Whether digital or pharmaceutical interventions, the goal is delivering the right treatment to the right patient at the right time, transforming the management and outcomes in mental health.”

Feel Therapeutics, building on the success of their previous study, has demonstrated that their Digital Precision Medicine Platform not only improves outcomes in depression and anxiety (MDD/GAD) but also extends its benefits to address chronic conditions. A recently released feasibility and usability study reaffirms the platform’s value for adults exhibiting ADHD symptomatology while dealing with coexisting depressive or anxiety symptoms – a common use case for the Feel platform.

“Mental and behavioral health is long overdue for its precision medicine revolution,” said Haris Tsirmpas, Co-Founder and CTO of Feel Therapeutics. “In the past, the field leaned heavily on self-reported questionnaires due to a lack of objective measurements. Now, with data collected from wearable devices and mobile sensors, but also voice, video, text, and passive behavioral data, we can extract digital phenotypes and insights. This data paves the way for personalizing treatments, bringing the field closer to the vision of precision medicine. Our goal remains clear: to provide everyone with access to the right diagnoses and care based on reliable, objective data.”

Feel has partnerships with four of the largest pharma and life science companies to generate evidence in clinical and real-world studies, as well as to improve adherence and patient outcomes alongside medications.
