John Lee, MD, Named Chief Medical Information Officer for AHN

“AHN’s commitment to investing in a robust, leading-edge IT strategy and system that drives better healthcare value, outcomes and experiences for patients has been extraordinary,” said Dr. Lee.


PITTSBURGH (PRWEB)

Allegheny Health Network (AHN) today announced that John S. Lee, MD, has been appointed as the organization’s new Chief Medical Information Officer (CMIO), effective immediately. Dr. Lee succeeds Robert White, MD, who announced his plans for retirement earlier this year. Dr. White will stay with AHN through the end of the year to help support a seamless transition.

Dr. Lee joins AHN from Edward-Elmhurst Healthcare, based in Naperville, Ill., where he has served as CMIO since 2016. At AHN, Dr. Lee will assume oversight of the network’s electronic health record integration and optimization as well as direct all strategies and technological solutions related to the convergence and utilization of telemedicine, population health management and health care analytics. In this capacity, he’ll work closely with network and Highmark Health clinical and executive leaders in assessing, designing and implementing clinical support systems that maximize quality, safety, patient engagement, and process improvement.

In 2019, all eight of AHN’s acute care hospitals were recognized as Most Wired® providers by the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME). Most Wired® is the industry-leading survey and recognition relative to IT implementation, integration and innovation in health systems across the country. AHN is one of the nation’s largest health system’s with a singular electronic health record (Epic) that integrates all affiliated sites of care, including now 12 hospitals, five large Health + Wellness Pavilions and other outpatient care facilities, and hundreds of physician practices.

In addition to implementing systems such as Epic, Most Wired® designated organizations are those that have deployed technologies and strategies such as population health and cost-of-care analytics, telehealth, and patient portals, to expand access to care and improve clinical and efficiency outcomes.

“Information technology has been the foundation of our success in building a transformative, physician-led and patient-centered model of care for our region,” said Cynthia Hundorfean, AHN president. “It takes exceptional talent and visionary leadership to sustain and continuously advance the IT systems we deploy, and we could not have found a more accomplished and qualified physician executive to take those reigns for our organization than Dr. Lee.”

An undergraduate of Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Lee earned his medical degree from the Loyola University of Chicago’s Stritch School of Medicine, and completed residencies at Cook County Hospital in Chicago. His professional affiliations include fellowship in the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS).

Last year, Dr. Lee was named the Physician Executive Leader of the Year by both HIMSS and the Association of Medical Directors of Information Systems (AMDIS).

“AHN’s commitment to investing in a robust, leading-edge IT strategy and system that drives better healthcare value, outcomes and experiences for patients has been extraordinary,” said Dr. Lee. “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to help build upon the program’s success and to shape its future course as part of a blended health and wellness enterprise.”

California Safety Manager Awarded National Occupational Safety and Health Recognition

Leave a comment


Eric Simmons was chosen as the 2020 Outstanding Safety Professional of the Year by Columbia Southern University.

“I have always had a passion for learning and teaching others. The safety profession provides an excellent opportunity to do both of those things,” – Eric Simmons


ORANGE BEACH, Ala. (PRWEB)

Columbia Southern University (CSU), a leading safety educator, recently awarded its annual Outstanding Safety Professional of the Year Award to Eric Simmons of Temecula, California.

CSU’s occupational safety and health faculty members selected Simmons from more than 250 nominations. Simmons, who holds a master’s degree in occupational safety and health from the university, is the corporate safety director for Helix Electric in San Diego.

“I have always had a passion for learning and teaching others. The safety profession provides an excellent opportunity to do both of those things,” said Simmons. “I enjoy the variety within the safety profession, both in terms of the things we do and the people we meet and interact with on a daily basis.”

His enjoyment is reflected in the numerous construction safety awards he has earned including the Board of Certified Safety Professionals’ 2019 Construction Health and Safety Technician Award of Excellence. Simmons has licenses in 17 states and serves on national safety committees including the American Society of Safety Professionals, the National Safety Council and the National Fire Protection Association.

CSU’s occupational safety and health faculty members chose two student runners-up this year for the award: Bill Toms of Asheville, North Carolina, and Scott Gable of Cecil County, Maryland.

Toms, a safety director with MB Haynes Corp., began working in occupational safety and health after suffering a traumatic injury in 1997 as a lineman. He earned his associate in occupational safety and health from CSU in 2015. He is currently pursuing his bachelor’s degree with CSU as well.

“The incident resulted in the amputation of my right hand and right foot. Since I would no longer be able to do line work, I was excited when my company asked if I would like to come back to work in safety. It was then that I realized that I could make a difference in the lives of others by encouraging them to work safely and avoid making a serious mistake as I did,” explained Toms.

Since 2011, Gable has risen in ranks of the safety world and now works as an occupational safety and health specialist with the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights in Washington D.C. Gable earned his bachelor’s in occupational safety and health from CSU this year.

“My favorite thing about what I do is the abundance of opportunity to serve others in various capacities,” said Gable. “Between the people whom I have been able to save from unsafe acts and taught along the way, to the families that I have comforted and provided closure to during times of hardship, nothing will ever compare.”

The Outstanding Safety Professional Award was established by the university to recognize National Safety Month, observed annually in June, and to celebrate its occupational safety and health students and graduates for their commitments to safety, professionalism and their accomplishments.

CSU salutes Simmons, Toms, Gable and others who participated in this effort to honor all those who are committed to protecting the lives of workers. This is especially of note as the world deals with a global pandemic and the good health of workers is paramount.

About Columbia Southern University

For more than 25 years, Columbia Southern University has been a leader in occupational safety and health education. Taught by experienced safety experts, CSU’s bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in occupational safety and health are recognized by the Board of Certified Safety Professionals as Graduate Safety Practitioner® Qualified Academic Programs. CSU’s occupational safety and health degree programs meet the educational requirements mandated by the Board of Certified Safety Professionals for the Associate Safety Professional designation (ASP®) and the Certified Safety Professional designation (CSP®).

Leave a comment


Caroline Le Poole, PhD, CSO (above center), Paul Burton, JD MBA, VP Strategy (below, left) and Kettil Cedercreutz, PhD, CEO (below right) form the core leadership team of Temprian Therapeutics Inc.

Our treatment is designed to bring long-sought-after relief to the millions of people suffering from vitiligo


CHICAGO (PRWEB)

Temprian, a spinoff from Northwestern University, has a platform technology intended for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Its lead indication is vitiligo. Vitiligo patients develop progressive depigmentation of the skin. There is no cure for vitiligo at this time.

While vitiligo is equally prevalent in all ethnic groups, it is most visible and impactful in people with darker skin tones. Comorbidities include alopecia areata, hypothyroid disease and depression. The disease can bring heavy emotional stress. Patients are routinely subject to discrimination and prejudice, affecting personal relationships and job opportunities.

Historically, treatments for diseases that disproportionately affect people of color have received little attention or resources essential to moving them forward. Temprian’s selection as a finalist for the Nature Spinoff Prize provides hope for securing finances needed for a clinical trial.

The 12 finalists represent companies from the United States, United Kingdom, Switzerland and Spain operating in such diverse fields as pharmaceuticals, predictive assays and medical devices.

Details of Temprian’s innovation are covered on the Nature website. The Spinoff Prize has been established by the journal Nature in partnership with Merck KGaA to showcase and celebrate global excellence in the commercialization of research through the creation of spinoff companies.

ABOUT Temprian Therapeutics Inc. The company is a spinoff from Northwestern University, established to develop DNA based treatments for autoimmune disease. Its lead indication is vitiligo. The Company has worked closely with the patient community in the development of a safe, non-invasive, market-oriented treatment for vitiligo. The HSP70-based drug is designed to temper autoimmunity, arrests the spread of the disease and trigger repigmentation.

ABOUT Nature, Merck KGaA and the Spinoff Prize 2020: The Spinoff Prize has been established by the journal Nature Research in partnership with Merck to showcase and celebrate global excellence in the commercialization of research through the creation of spinoff companies.

IP: The underlying patent “Mutant HSP70i to Prevent Autoimmune Disease” (Appl. No. 15/791,609) for Temprian’s platform technology was approved and issued by the USPTO on May 27, 2020.

“We love KanTime EVV, it manages all of the rules and regulations easily, allowing us to work with far fewer types of exceptions,” said Sherry, Area Manager at Home Health Care by Callos.


DALLAS (PRWEB)

KanTime, a leader in the post-acute EMR space with a strong presence in the Electronic Visit Verification arena, adds Ohio to its growing list of states where it is an approved EVV vendor. As the CURES Act continues to mandate more states to adopt EVV, KanTime has made it a priority to become an alternate EVV provider in all open states so that post acute care providers can utilize one platform to manage everything from intake and scheduling all the way to billing and collections.

KanTime has achieved EVV certification as an alternate EVV provider or is integrated with the State mandated vendor in the following states: Ohio, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, and Texas. The company plans to add New York and Arizona to its list in the coming months.

KanTime’s EVV module meets Federal requirements and captures all the required information including type of service performed, the record of the individual receiving the service, date of service provided, location of service delivery, staff providing the service, and the start and end times of the service. Thousands of caregivers utilize the KanTime Mobile application, available online and offline, to easily capture all required EVV information and more such as the geolocation, client signature, tasks performed, and client voice recordings (optional).

Sherry, Area Manager at Home Health Care by Callos in Ohio, recently shared, “We love KanTime EVV, it manages all of the rules and regulations, allowing us to work with far fewer types of exceptions. This has significantly reduced the administrative burden seen with other solutions. The KanTime Mobile app can be configured to require a beneficiary signature before the note is submitted and has so many more features that help us be more efficient in our care delivery.”

As states continue to adopt and mature their EVV programs KanTime will continue to take a leadership role in keeping customers in alignment with those changes.

Ultrafast RT-PCR for COVID-19 by Molecular Biology Systems draws Dutch government support

Leave a comment



FREDERICK, Md. (PRWEB)

Dutch biotechnology company, Molecular Biology Systems, B.V. (MBS) has announced a publication detailing the use of its revolutionary NEXTGENPCR endpoint thermocycler to test for SARS-CoV-2 with a one-step reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in 16 minutes. The article, titled “Ultra-fast one-step RT-PCR protocol for the detection of SARS-CoV-2,” has been submitted as a preprint is available here: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.06.25.20137398v1

“We immediately started with a COVID-19 diagnostic project, since we already got a NEXTGENPCR thermocycler for sepsis diagnostics. Using this technology, we demonstrated with clinical RNA isolates, the ability to dramatically increase SARS-CoV-2 testing throughput without a loss in sensitivity,” says Prof. Dr. Christian Kaltschmidt, Cell Biology of the University of Bielefeld, the senior author of the publication.

MBS has developed and released two software packages that result in a streamlined workflow from isolated nucleic acid sample to result. First, the machine’s operating system has been updated with two enabling features, onboard reverse transcription and 2-step PCR. These features decrease the number of handling steps, and plate shuttling time which together result in an improved, shorter protocol. The second software package automates the measurement and analysis of endpoint fluorescence, allowing users to automate calls based on predetermined thresholds.

“After accelerating the CDC assay, we received a lot of positive feedback,” says MBS CEO and founder, Gert de Vos. “We added software, tested more WHO-recommended protocols and have collaborated with labs to deliver a demonstration of ultrafast RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2.”

To support companies responding to COVID-19, the Dutch government has awarded funds to MBS. Rosco Ephraïm, Project Manager Impuls Zeeland, stated, “MBS demonstrated a clear contribution to the advancement of SARS-CoV-2 testing both locally and globally, so the government awarded these funds to ensure this innovative company executes its mission.”

With a single NEXTGENPCR system delivering over 570 test results per hour, MBS is now collaborating with government and private testing laboratories in the USA, Europe, the Middle East and Africa to implement this method.

As Fires Sweep Southwest, Aerial Firefighters Rush Aircraft, Contend With Coronavirus Risk

Leave a comment


“The season’s early start in the western US actually came as no surprise. It’s in line with the current predictions of the National Interagency Fire Center,” noted Dan Snyder, Chief Operating Officer of Neptune Aviation Services.


WASHINGTON (PRWEB)

With much of the US Southwest seeing explosive growth in wildfire events, air tanker and helicopter operators are quickly deploying assets, with the added challenge of keeping their pilots, mechanics and other field crew safe under the ongoing coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic.

“The USFS is relying much more heavily on airborne assets—both fixed and rotary wing–in order to minimize the need for large camps where firefighters are positioned in close proximity to each other, increasing the risk of contracting the coronavirus,” explained Dan Snyder, Chief Operating Officer of Neptune Aviation Services in Missoula, Montana.

Currently, five of Neptune Aviation Services’ BAe 146 tankers have been operating on multiple fires in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah since April, all under US Forest Service (USFS) contracts—one under call when needed, and four under exclusive use. Its four remaining tankers have subsequently come under call when needed contracts.

The USFS, Snyder also noted, is positioning firefighting aircraft nearer to active fires this year, with the intent of keeping them at those locations for the duration of the regional fire seasons. The aircraft, he explained, would then be relocated, as fire activity shifts to other parts of the country.

“Keeping redeployments to a minimum cuts the risk of coronavirus transmission, because you are not moving people around as much,” Snyder pointed out.

Keeping aircraft in one location longer, Snyder observed, could also indicate that 2020 will be a more active fire season than the previous year. “The season’s early start in the western US actually came as no surprise. It’s in line with the current predictions of the National Interagency Fire Center,” he noted.

Rick Livingston, owner of Intermountain Helicopter in Sonora, California, which operates a single Bell 212, confirmed that aerial firefighting assets are trending toward longer duration where assigned. “We’ve seen that, this year. In fact, the USFS has been offering limited 90-day exclusive use contracts for operators of Type I and Type II helicopters,” he said. “I think we will see more of this, going forward.”

Livingston stressed that he is “definitely watching” the COVID-19 crisis. “Things are starting to open up, but who knows what will take place this summer,” he said. “Some of the overhaul shops are reopening, and people are starting to show up for work again. Our biggest issue was working with the FAA because more people were working from home, and it was a lot harder to get things done.”

Keith Saylor, Director of Commercial Operations for Columbia Helicopters, reported that the Portland, Oregon based operator has had a CH-47D helicopter working on the Bush Fire out of Phoenix, Arizona, since mid-June. “We also have a CH-47D positioned in Ely, Minnesota, and one in Cortez, Colorado,” he noted. “In addition, two of our Columbia Model 234s are currently based in Salmon, Idaho, and Oakridge, Colorado. All are under USFS call when needed contracts.”

According to Saylor, this year’s fire season is shaping up to be more active than normal, especially in the Pacific northwest, where heavy rains have generated a considerable amount of fuel. As with other operators, he pointed out that preparations for this year’s fire season included COVID-19 protection.

“It was a great challenge—which we have met—to implement the safety measures for the coronavirus, per the CDC guidelines, Saylor stated. “We not only had to assure social distancing, but the availability and use of personal protective equipment, along with establishing procedures for sterilizing our helicopters and support equipment. Also, more crew training has been shifted to video conferencing and web action.”

In addition, said Saylor, the company’s crews have been thoroughly trained to take protective measures in hotel rooms and other public places. “We’re using hand sanitizers, especially after coming into contact with high touch surfaces such as door knobs and light switches,” he explained.

Timberline Helicopters of Sandpoint, Idaho, currently has a UH-60A on a USFS 90-day contract, based at Boise. “We have not been dispatched to an active fire yet, but we are ready with fully equipped aircraft and crew for when the call comes in,” said Travis Storro, the company’s Chief Operating Officer.

Storro said that for Timberline Helicopters, the primary impacts of the coronavirus have been logistical challenges, commercial flight availability, supply chain issues, and certain inefficiencies in order to maintain social distancing. “Still, we are fully staffed and ready to operate our fleet this summer to protect life and property.”

“COVID-19 has presented a formidable challenge to many businesses across the US economy, including the aerial firefighting industry,” said George Hill, Executive Director of the American Helicopter Services and Aerial Firefighting Association (AHSAFA). “Still, the aerial firefighting operators have continued to demonstrate 100-percent mission capable—even as the country continues to work through this global pandemic.”

Columbia Helicopters, Intermountain Helicopter, Neptune Aviation Services, and Timberline Helicopters are all members of AHSAFA, the trade association representing the privately operated aerial firefighting industry in Washington.
