SCP Health Launches Flagship Post-Acute Care Program at Cornerstone at the Ranch

Leave a comment



LAFAYETTE, La. (PRWEB)

SCP Health (SCP) and Cornerstone at the Ranch (Cornerstone), a skilled nursing facility (SNF), announce the launch of a new post-acute care program to improve clinical outcomes and quality-of-life for residents at Cornerstone.

SCP provides a comprehensive approach to real-time post-acute care for residents in SNFs by applying its expertise in quality outcomes, consistent care, and patient experience to the skilled nursing facility environment. In this new venture, residents and care teams at Cornerstone at the Ranch will have access to a 24/7 clinical care team and nurse call center.

“This model allows for better care coordination between the hospital’s clinical team and case management teams, and the medical professionals caring for patients in skilled nursing facilities after discharge,” explains Lisa Fry, Chief Growth Officer at SCP Health. “A post-acute care program of this nature grants SNF residents improved clinical outcomes and a better care experience for themselves and their families.”

SCP’s post-acute care program offers:

  • A local physician – typically a member of the local hospital’s Hospital Medicine team – performs biweekly rounds on residents and can serve as the Medical Director of the program overseeing a team of NP/PAs.

  • NP/PAs staffed at the SNF are on call 24/7 and round on residents during the weekdays. They also act as a liaison to the physician(s) and are backed by SCP 24/7.

  • Access to a 24/7 nurse call line with triage protocols to help prevent readmission and improve outcomes.


“Now, more than ever, it’s important that attentive and expert clinical support be available for our residents, who are among the most vulnerable population during this current Coronavirus outbreak,” says Ricky Bonin, Chief Operating Officer of Paramount Healthcare, the management company for Cornerstone at the Ranch.

SCP is currently deploying post-acute care programs in assisted living and skilled nursing facilities in areas across the United States. To learn more about post-acute care services, contact business_development@scp-health.com.

Xtalks Life Science Webinars

The concept of immune response and its manifestations on medical imaging can have an impact on determining the course of treatment for the patient.


TORONTO (PRWEB)

Join Julie Cole, M.D., VP, Medical Imaging, Oncology, Bioclinica, Rob Scarimbolo, Senior Director, Medical & Scientific Affairs, Bioclinica and Zachary LaVoie, Medical & Scientific Affairs Sr. Manager, Bioclinica in a live webinar on Thursday, July 16, 2020 at 11am EDT (4pm BST/UK).

As immunotherapies continue to evolve, the assessment of disease progression can be challenging to distinguish from the immune response. The concept of immune response and its manifestations on medical imaging can have an impact on determining the course of treatment for the patient.

The iRECIST criteria aims to reduce the ambiguity of this issue by implementing new evaluation methods for documenting and confirming disease progression. The goal of this webinar is to discuss an operational approach for using the iRECIST criteria in support of oncology clinical trials. The methodology for documenting various imaging data points including establishment and confirmation of progression will be elucidated.

TORONTO (PRWEB)

Join experts from Covance in a live webinar on Wednesday, July 15, 2020 at 11am CST/China (12pm JST/Japan, 12pm KST/Korea).

With 26 biosimilars having been approved by the FDA through the 351(k) pathway and over 50 biosimilar applications approved through the CHMP under the EMA, the global biosimilars market has grown rapidly. Despite these successes, many challenges remain in developing, analyzing, manufacturing and obtaining regulatory approval for these biotherapeutic products.

This webinar will feature scientific thought leaders who will discuss lessons learned and case studies from supporting unique biosimilars across the development spectrum. Participants will hear about Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) characterization and the use of CMC analytical master files to support the assessment of bio-similarity and reduce downstream development risks. The presenters will also cover regulatory and clinical trial execution strategies, including the use of virtual trials for long-term follow-up studies.

Participants will gain a better understanding of how to handle common challenges faced and insights on how to design an efficient biosimilar development strategy that encompasses key considerations from early development through commercialization.

The presenters from Covance include:


  • Siân Estdale BSc, MPhil, PhD, Head of Science and Innovation, Clinical Trials Testing Solutions

  • Joan Meyer, MS, PhD, Executive Director, Strategy & Planning Inflammation, Infectious Disease and General Medicine

  • Alicia M. Baker McDowell, DRSc, MS, Executive Strategist, Head of Biosimilars Center of Excellence, Strategic Product Development Consulting

As Americans work through this new normal, The Power of Principled Inclusion should be at their side. It’s the book they need to be reading over coffee, in between video conferences and before bed.

It’s this personal growth and understanding that will allow them to become and remain more inclusive in their communities while having the tools to educate others to do the same.

The Power of Principled Inclusion is interactive, prompting readers to conduct an inner search for the principles and values that give meaning and expression to their lives. Each chapter, followed by a workbook, addresses a specific topic such as mindfulness, awareness, integrity, and commitment. The intention is to give readers the space to ponder the subject matter and write down their thoughts and reactions to the concepts and processes contained within each chapter.

“The Power of Principled Inclusion is an illuminating guide full of insights to build a more healthy and successful presence in a diverse and global community. Michael Sawaya outlines his vision of how each individual can develop an extraordinary capacity to extend themselves to as many other people and as much of life as possible.” -Ronald B. Brown, Ph.D. Founder and President of Banks Brown, Consultants on Diversity and Inclusion for Fortune 100 Companies.

Michael Sawaya, a name recognized across the Colorado Front Range, is a successful trial lawyer. A two-time author, he is devoted to sharing his beliefs about challenging the way that society presents itself while focusing on the power of positivity, integrity, and inclusion.

Clean the World Foundation to Supply 120,000 Bars of Soap to the Navajo Nation in Partnership with Soapbox, CORE, and World Central Kitchen

Leave a comment


Children hold recycled bars of soap.

Clean the World will be sending 120,000 bars of soap to be distributed by CORE and World Central Kitchen to vulnerable people within the Navajo Nation.


WASHINGTON (PRWEB)

Clean the World Foundation, a global leader in water, sanitation, hygiene, and sustainability, has partnered with CORE and World Central Kitchen to assist efforts to combat the coronavirus in the Navajo Nation. Clean the World will be sending 120,000 bars of soap to be distributed by CORE and World Central Kitchen to vulnerable people within the Navajo Nation. Soapbox, a personal care company that donates one bar of soap for every Soapbox product purchased, is sponsoring the collaboration to get critically needed hygiene supplies to those who are most vulnerable.

“The need for hygiene supplies is significant,” says Sam Stephens, Executive Director, Clean the World Foundation. “The soap we provide will be used in emergency kits to serve those who are most at risk of dying from the disease, including the elderly and individuals with pre-existing health conditions.”

The Navajo Nation has the most confirmed COVID-19 cases per capita in the United States. More than 40% of all residents there live in poverty, and roughly 33% lack indoor plumbing. In addition, there are only 13 grocery stores spread out across more than 27,000 square miles – an area larger than Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts combined – making access to hygiene extremely challenging both economically and logistically. Progress has been made in recent weeks to make water available for more households, but soap is urgently needed so that families can practice proper hygiene and prevent the spread of the virus.

“Soap is a commodity that should be easily available and accessible to everyone regardless of economic status and we have always felt strongly about that,” says David Simnick, CEO & Co-Founder of Soapbox. “Soapbox is so honored to partner with Clean the World, CORE, and World Central Kitchen to help provide essential hygiene products to the Navajo Nation. Every customer who’s ever purchased a Soapbox product has helped make this donation possible and we look forward to continuing to serve those who need it most.”

About Clean the World Foundation

Clean the World Foundation is an international development and global health nonprofit operating WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) education programs and emergency relief initiatives targeting vulnerable communities in the United States and around the world. Clean the World Foundation is the 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in Clean the World’s social enterprise responsible for all soap and hygiene kit distribution both domestically and globally as part of many of its WASH programs. The organization also engages volunteers, donors, and other outcome-focused organizations around the world to support its global health initiatives. Since 2009, Clean the World Foundation has served over 12 million individuals in 127 countries. A copy of the official registration and financial information for Clean the World Foundation may be obtained from the Division of Consumer Services by visiting https://www.fdacs.gov/ConsumerServices. For more information, visit us online: https://www.cleantheworldfoundation.org.

About Soapbox

Standing on a soapbox is just a platform, but getting off that soapbox to act creates change fueled by a purpose. In 2010, Soapbox was founded on the mission to empower consumers to change the world through everyday, quality purchases. Every thoughtfully crafted Soapbox product purchased donates a bar of soap to someone in need either here in the USA or abroad. To date, Soapbox has donated more than 10 million bars of soap to those in need, often pairing hygiene education with them as well.

Drs. Steven White and Brad Haines Now Welcome Charlotte, NC to Receive Invisalign® Orthodontics

Leave a comment


Drs. Steven White and Brad Haines Dentists near Charlotte, NC

Drs. Steven White and Brad Haines Welcome Charlotte, NC to Receive Invisalign® Braces

Our office has been using Invisalign for years and it’s a great way for our patients to get that perfect looking smile,.


CHARLOTTE, N.C. (PRWEB)

Dentists, Drs. Steven White and Brad Haines of White and Haines Advanced Dentistry, now offer discreet Invisalign® to new patients in Charlotte, NC with or without a referral. Those frustrated by crowding, gaps, malocclusions, overbites or underbites can achieve straight teeth without bulky metal wires and braces at White and Haines Advanced Dentistry.

Invisalign bypasses the need for traditional brackets by instead using straightening trays, called aligners, to move the teeth into a more natural, aesthetically pleasing position. Drs. White and Haines fit patients for Invisalign by creating a 3D representation of the mouth. The 3D image helps chart the expected Invisalign course. Aligner trays are custom-made for the patient’s individual treatment plan, which the patient will replace approximately every two weeks, gradually bringing the teeth together.

Because Invisalign aligners are practically unnoticeable, they present an attractive cosmetic dentistry solution for both teens and adults. Additionally, Invisalign allows patients full access to their teeth and gums, making it easier to stay on top of routine oral hygiene regimens. Many adults who once had braces featuring wires and brackets, but whose teeth shifted over time, appreciate the comfortable, practical Invisalign alternative compared to having a “mouth full of metal” again.

Invisalign treatment timeframes can run between three months and to a little over a year depending upon the type of tooth movement necessary to achieve optimum results. Dr. Haines notes that there are other advantages to Invisalign, such as the fact that trays can be taken out to eat. “Our office has been using Invisalign for years and it’s a great way for our patients to get that perfect looking smile,” concludes Dr. Haines.

Teenagers and adults from the Charlotte, NC area who want straight teeth are welcome to make an appointment at White and Haines Advanced Dentistry to discuss Invisalign clear braces. The practice, located in nearby Cornelius, NC, can be reached by calling 704-896-9535.

About the Dentists

White and Haines Advanced Dentistry is a general dental practice offering personalized dental care to patients in Cornelius, NC. Dr. Steven White offers more than 20 years of experience in general and cosmetic dentistry. He has served as a mentor at the Nash Institute for Dental Learning as well as an instructor with the Advanced Aesthetics Program. Dr. Brad Haines was named a Top 40 Dentist Under 40 in Incisal Edge Magazine and brings more than a decade of experience in general and cosmetic dentistry. Drs. White and Haines strive to understand each patient’s unique set of goals to help them reach a healthy smile and they are members of the American Dental Association, Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation and Charlotte Dental Society, among many others.

White and Haines or the services they offer at their practice, please visit their website at http://www.drswhiteandhaines.com or call 704-896-9535 to schedule an appointment.
