Our Health & Hygiene Program partners with restaurants to ensure standard health protocols are consistently followed in all locations, provide critical feedback on necessary changes to improve those standards, and solicit feedback directly from customers on their perceptions of health and safety.

ATLANTA (PRWEB)
June 29, 2020

A Closer Look, in partnership with the Texas Restaurant Association (TRA) and Dallas College, announce the launch of the new Texas Restaurant Promise Certification Program that will train, inspect, and certify restaurants on the additional precautions that must be followed per the Texas Governor’s minimum standard health protocols.

The Texas Restaurant Promise Certification Program is the only program of its kind that trains, inspects, and certifies restaurants on the new health and safety protocols. The goal of the Program is to build trust between restaurants and their guests by ensuring employees and owners understand the necessary safety protocols of operating in a COVID-19 environment. The Texas Restaurant Promise Certification decal will be visible on the doors of restaurants that graduate from the program to let guests and patrons know that those businesses are focused on their health and safety.

As part of the Certification Program, A Closer Look will offer Health and Hygiene evaluations and monitoring. A Closer Look’s Health and Hygiene Satisfaction Program is a three-pronged approach to help businesses measure and monitor locations’ ability to execute and maintain critical customer-facing health and hygiene standards. The Company’s independent field ambassadors utilize A Closer Look’s 15-point assessment designed to focus on compliance with key health and hygiene processes recommend by the government for restaurant reopening and customer safety. A Closer Look will partner with restaurant owners to identify potential problem areas to address based on the health and hygiene assessments and direct guest feedback about their customer experience as it relates to health and hygiene. Once restaurants complete the Health & Hygiene Program, they will join A Closer Look’s Trusted Partner Program, which will offer customers a way to provide direct feedback about the restaurant’s health and hygiene practices via text message on an ongoing basis.

“At A Closer Look, we believe that when customers feel restaurants are taking their health and safety seriously, they are more likely to return and recommend to others. Both are critical components to helping restaurants thrive again,” said Chris Gillen, CEO of A Closer Look. “It is our honor and pleasure to help those restaurants impacted by COVID to safely serve their customers again.”

The training portion of the Texas Restaurant Promise Certification will include five courses with a focus on each role within the restaurant: New Protocols for Owners and Operators, Take-Out, Delivery, and Food Trucks, Front of House Staff, Back of House Staff, and Cleaning Crew. In order to become certified and earn a decal, employees from a restaurant must complete all five courses. A grant from the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) is powering the work behind this program, enabling the first 500 restaurants to take advantage of the new program and certification for free.

The first class begins June 25. More information can be found at TXRestaurant.org/TXRestaurantPromiseCertification.

Advanced Implant Dentistry and Oral Restoration Offer Teeth-in-a-Day in Cedarhurst, NY

Their element of perfection was above and beyond. Their professionalism is very obvious. They are caring, personal, and kind. I feel as if I’m coming to my best friends. And the results are great!

Cedarhurst, NY (PRWEB)
June 29, 2020

Drs. Michael Klein and Allon Waltuch of Advanced Implant Dentistry and Oral Restoration now welcome new and existing patients to receive rejuvenating teeth-in-a-day full mouth dental implants to Cedarhurst, NY and the surrounding Five Towns area. The practice combines state-of-the-art technology with modern dental solutions to give patients with multiple failing or missing teeth long-term tooth replacement options.

“My doctor of 34 years highly recommended Advanced Implant Dentistry and Oral Restoration, telling me that he goes to them,” says Al, a patient of the practice. “Their element of perfection was above and beyond. Their professionalism is very obvious. They are caring, personal, and kind. I feel as if I’m coming to my best friends. And the results are great!”

Full mouth dental implants are a dental solution that gives patients a complete new set of teeth. These new teeth are so similar to natural teeth, patients are able to bite, chew, speak and smile confidently. Drs. Klein and Waltuch provide teeth-in-a-day, which means that patients can get their new smile, no matter how many teeth need to be replaced, in just one appointment. The effects this tooth replacement solution has on patient smiles and confidence is life changing. With full mouth dental implants, patients will benefit from:

• 
  Teeth that look and feel natural
• Replacing any number of teeth
• Teeth created in-house and personalized to the patient
• No more time spent without teeth

A dental implant is a titanium post that is inserted into the jawbone where a tooth is missing. The post acts as a tooth root, stimulating the bone around the implant for continued growth and firmly holding the dental implant in place. The dental crown, the visible portion of the tooth, is crafted in-house using state-of-the-art milling machines. These dental crowns can be color matched to a patient’s existing tooth color and adjusted to match the size and shape for a seamless integration in the mouth. All of this is possible within a single day when following the teeth-in-a-day protocols.

Advanced Implant Dentistry and Oral Restoration features some of the most advanced dental technology in the industry. The practice is able to provide teeth-in-a-day dental implants thanks to their in-house lab and investment in digital imaging. Digital imaging through cone beam CT scanners and intraoral handheld scanners allow the doctors to capture highly detailed images of the teeth and jaw structure virtually instantly. These images are then able to be transferred to the in-house lab, which can mill new crowns in a matter of minutes. For patients who suffer from anxiety or who have a big dental procedure upcoming, the practice also offers advanced IV sedation to block sensations of discomfort and ease fear.

Patients interested in receiving same-day full mouth dental implants in Cedarhurst, NY and surrounding areas are invited to schedule a consultation with Drs. Allon or Waltuch by calling the office at 516-665-1249 or visiting http://www.advancedimplantsli.com.

Medical e-Learning during COVID-19

COVID-19, social distancing, and stay-at-home protocols have exposed a major challenge in diagnosis and remote treatment of individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD).

CLEARWATER, Fla. (PRWEB)
June 29, 2020

COVID-19, social distancing, and stay-at-home protocols have exposed a major challenge in diagnosis and remote treatment of individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). According to Health Risk Screening, Inc.’s President Dr. Craig Escudé, as telehealth becomes one of the most-often used methods of diagnosis and treating patients in the pandemic era, the training and education of clinicians is critical to the success of the patients’ outcome. This is true now more than ever as it relates to patients with IDD.

The implementation of telehealth and e-learning solutions would be paramount for all caregivers. “Healthcare professionals and caregivers are enormously disadvantaged in providing care for those with IDD during COVID-19,” Dr. Escudé says. “E-learning tools are crucial to providing accurate diagnostic support to healthcare workers. Early intervention saves lives of people with IDD in home and facility settings.”

Not all physicians who provide healthcare through telehealth possess the specialized training to work with IDD patients for accurate diagnoses. New York area Emergency Department Director Dr. Mathew Kaufman understands the challenges and has become part of the solution through his telemedicine company StationMD. ER physicians clearly see the need for prevention and care practices that keep vulnerable patient groups like those with IDD out of the ER. Direct Support Professionals (DSP) are in the best position to “observe, record, and report” signs and symptoms that may indicate changes of health status. The challenge is that both DSPs and ER physicians lack training in identifying and treating health issues in people with IDD.

“The availability of e-learning in this specialty area of medicine enables remote physicians to diagnose, isolate, and set up treatment protocols of COVID-19 positive IDD patients within the facility,” Dr. Kauffman explained. “This kind of training equips our staff with the ability to determine the severity of the medical problem, what to do about it, and if they should be transported to the ER.”

A major complicating condition is pneumonia. In fact, aspiration pneumonia is considered one of “The Fatal Five” preventable causes of death in people with IDD. Statistics show that patients with IDD suffer death from pneumonia at two to five times the rate of those without IDD. That’s according to a data-backed research brief recently posted by Syracuse University’s Lerner Center for Public Health.(1) This not only shows the outsized danger of COVID-19 to individuals with IDD but points to a lack of diagnostic support for this group(2).

Education and training is critical to avoiding unnecessary suffering by people with IDD, and having access to e-learning tools, such as HRS’s Curriculum in IDD Healthcare, could support physicians in helping clinicians meet that diagnostic objective for these vulnerable patients. The use of e-learning tools has been shown to reduce ER visits by 41 percent when used by DSPs working with vulnerable populations in a group of more than 6,000 California home care workers.(4)

HRS’s e-learning tools provided significant background and education to StationMD personnel helping patients with IDD to avoid unnecessary trips to the ER. HRS’s Curriculum in IDD Healthcare eLearn course can have a profound impact on helping clinicians by arming them with the fundamentals they need to provide healthcare for people with IDD. The Curriculum has already proven to be an important new e-learning solution for medical student training and use by ER physician groups, just as it did for StationMD.

This tool is part of a broader metric-backed understanding that e-learning tools have proven to be equally or more effective than traditional teaching methods.(5) As life in general and medicine specifically become more digitized, having easily accessible tools and training will not only save the lives of patients with clinical complexities, but the population at large as well. This effectiveness is mirrored in telehealth interventions that combine E-learning as part of an evidenced-based, person centered services approach for healthcare teams. (6)(7)(8)

According to Dr. Escudé, it is these types of innovations between telehealth and e-learning to better diagnose IDD patients that will be necessary to deal with an increasing remote healthcare diagnostic age. Dr. Escudé says. “It will take a combination of education and increased access to trained clinicians to play a major part in stemming mortality rates as we move forward.”
