Leave a comment


Complex Claims

Argos Health

At Argos, we have always felt we offered the highest level of service to our clients. Since Black Book does not involve vendors in the survey process in any way, we are gratified that a completely unbiased survey of the complex claims market came to the same conclusion.


DALLAS (PRWEB)

Argos Health has made Black Book’s list for top-performing vendors among in-demand financial healthcare software, systems, and outsourcing services for the second year in a row, once again being named the number one Complex Claims Solutions vendor. Black Book™ surveyed nearly 1,800 hospital and health system CFOs, revenue cycle executives, and consultants to determine the top-performing vendors.

Eighty-one percent of surveyed CFOs and senior leaders revealed the absolute and immediate need for digital transformations for long term survival of their healthcare organization.

“It would seem most CFOs understand what the pandemic has proved is the need to speed up digital transformation initiatives to not only survive but to prosper in the new normal,” said Doug Brown, President of Black Book Research. “For CFOs eager to expedite their organization’s digital transformation, the standardization and simplification leaders want in their back-end processes are allowing for less complicated, faster adoption despite the times.”

“From the beginning, Argos Health has remained focused on being the best complex claims solution in the industry. The acknowledgment by Black Book for the second year in a row that Argos Health is the highest-rated vendor in customer satisfaction and client experience in the complex claims category is a testament to our staff and their commitment to our customers,” said Argos Health CEO, Brent McCarty. “At Argos, we have always felt we offered the highest level of service to our clients. Since Black Book does not involve vendors in the survey process in any way, we are gratified that a completely unbiased survey of the complex claims market came to the same conclusion. As hospitals and IDNs work to overcome the financial impacts of COVID-19 and seek to streamline operations and identify new options for increasing revenue and profitability, Argos Health stands ready to help.”

Carle Foundation Hospital Completes Successful Virtual Epic EHR Go-Live with Pivot Point Consulting & Realizes Cost Savings and Virtual Efficiencies Too

Leave a comment

Carle Foundation Hospital

The plans and efforts that were developed for the Carle Regional Memorial Hospital (CRMH) go-live to maintain full support during the COVID-19 pandemic was extremely impressive and will strengthen our Carle system during these challenging times.


NASHVILLE, Tenn. (PRWEB)

Many healthcare organizations delayed their EHR implementations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Carle Foundation Hospital, a large integrated health system based in Champaign, Illinois, and Pivot Point Consulting worked together to rapidly “pivot” plans at the 11th hour – a pivot that not only resulted in a successful go-live on April 1, but also cost savings and virtual efficiencies.

As the COVID-19 pandemic emerged, Carle was underway with an Epic EHR implementation including a recently acquired community hospital and 6 affiliated multi-specialty clinics. It was critical for Carle to have this newly acquired hospital on the same EHR while balancing the safety of staff and patients.

Carle worked with their partner, Pivot Point Consulting, to rapidly shift all class-room training to remote / Web-ex based sessions, virtualize the 24 X 7 “Command Centers” hub staffed by Carle and Pivot Point Consulting EHR experts and create a hybrid “At the Elbow” support model that fit hospital resource needs and provided remote support, where appropriate.

David Gorrell, Director Project Management Office, says, “Pivot Point Consulting has been a great partner for us in our large IT initiatives and has provided quality IT resources to temporarily augment our staff and fill in where needed. Not only do the folks they provide have the skills and expertise, they do quality work. We really just view them as an extension of our internal team and true partners.”

The remote support model resulted in the closing of the Command Center one week early and the virtualization of training and go-live support resulted in approximately $65K in savings on travel expenses. Additionally, the experiences gained in the remote support model paved the way for similar virtual training and go-live activities at Carle moving forward.

After the success of the of the go-live, Dr. Charles Dennis, Chief Medical Officer at Carle shared his thoughts with the Carle organization: “I’ve been involved with many EHR go-lives and the plans and efforts that were developed for the Carle Regional Memorial Hospital (CRMH) go-live to maintain full support during the COVID-19 pandemic was extremely impressive and will strengthen our Carle system during these challenging times.”

Joe Clemons, Pivot Point Consulting’s Director ERP Practice and Advisory who is serving as a consultant project/engagement manager for Carle shared that “strong engagement management, close collaboration, and partnership with the client was critical to the high stakes, successful go-live at Carle given the rapidly evolving environment.”

Pivot Point Consulting continues to invest in the quality it’s known for as #1 Best in KLAS 2020: Overall IT Services Firm by expanding its engagement management team to include another experienced EHR implementation specialist, Joe Studer. Studer brings deep experience after leading many full life-cycle, complex, EHR implementations at prominent institutions such as Community Medical Centers in Fresno, Loma Linda Medical Center and Mayo Clinic.

To hear how the team completed a successful virtual Epic EHR go-live and realized cost savings and virtual efficiencies too, check out this podcast.

Dracen announces two DRP-104 presentations at AACR

Leave a comment



NEW YORK (PRWEB)

Dracen Pharmaceuticals Inc., announced today that two posters profiling its lead glutamine antagonist, DRP-104, will be presented June 22-24 during the American Association for Cancer Research Virtual meeting. One poster describes the immuno-metabolism and anti-cancer effects of DRP-104; and, the other profiles the potent, consistent single agent activity in KEAP1 mutant tumor models of NSCLC.

“As our lead asset DRP-104 advances in phase I clinical development, our preclinical data continues to confirm its promising profile both as a single agent and in combination therapy” said Robert Wild, Ph.D. Chief Scientific Officer of Dracen Pharmaceuticals. “The data being presented at AACR demonstrates that DRP-104 has a significant direct effect on tumors as well as profound remodeling of the tumor microenvironment; the latter leading to stimulation of both the innate as well as the adaptive immune systems resulting in therapeutic synergy with checkpoint inhibitors. Additionally, DRP-104 has demonstrated potent and broad antitumor activity in both murine and patient derived lung adenocarcinoma and squamous tumor models with KEAP1 mutations. The data suggests that DRP-104 is a promising therapy to treat KEAP1 mutant lung cancers and we are excited about advancing this promising compound in the clinic.”

The presentation details are as follows:

Broad Acting Glutamine Antagonism Remodels the Tumor Microenvironment; Induces Distinctive Immune Modulation; and, Synergizes with Immune Checkpoint Blockade

Abstract Date: June 22nd at 9:00 am – 6:00 pm

Abstract ID: 5607

Uncovering metabolic bottlenecks in KEAP1 mutant lung cancer

Abstract Date: June 22nd at 9:00 am – 6:00 pm

Abstract ID: 2569

About DRP-104

Our lead glutamine antagonist, DRP -104, is currently in early stage clinical development. The mechanisms of action for DRP-104 include: a) direct inhibition of tumor cell addiction to glutamine leading to substantial single agent activity and tumor regression; b) broad metabolic remodeling of the tumor microenvironment leading to enhanced anti-tumor immune activity; and, c) stimulation of T effector, NK and NKT cells and inhibition of immunosuppressive MDSC and macrophage cells, leading to greater long-term durable responses and survival.

About Dracen Pharmaceuticals

Dracen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a privately held biotech company developing proprietary anti-cancer drugs that target immuno-metabolism. Dracen’s investors include Deerfield Management; Osage University Partners; and The Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the CAS (IOCB Prague).

BayMark Health Services Acquires Los Angeles Area Opioid Treatment Program

Leave a comment


While California is a leader in affordable, accessible opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment, there is still a need to expand and enhance those services in response to the unabating opioid crisis.


SUN VALLEY, Calif. (PRWEB)

BayMark Health Services announced the acquisition of Narcotic Addiction Treatment Agency (NATA), an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) in Sun Valley, CA. Providing medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in the San Fernando Valley for more than 35 years, NATA has established themselves as a key provider of comprehensive treatment for opioid addiction in a professional and compassionate environment. The NATA program will join six established BayMark-owned programs in the Greater Los Angeles area.

NATA provides outpatient methadone maintenance and detoxification combined with substance use counseling and behavioral therapies. This evidence-based approach is individualized to meet the needs of each patient. Additional services include addiction and relapse education, coordinated treatment during pregnancy, in-house lab services and referrals to community resources to assist patients in rebuilding their lives.

David K. White, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of BayMark Health Services, said, “While California is a leader in affordable, accessible opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment, there is still a need to expand and enhance those services in response to the unabating opioid crisis. BayMark has a significant presence in the State and is pleased to continue growing that footprint to provide services to Californians in need of help.”

Medication-assisted treatment reduces the symptoms of opioid withdrawal and cravings, paving the way for patients to focus on addressing the underlying causes of their addiction and supporting them to regain stability in their lives. Opioid treatment programs offer a proven alternative to residential or abstinence-based treatment models for OUDs.
