Blue Ocean’s DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Baltimore North


The DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Pikesville, MD

During times of community crisis, it’s important for everyone to think about what is uniquely within their power to do to help

More than 10,000 cases of COVID-19 have been diagnosed in Baltimore County and Baltimore City combined since the onset of the pandemic in March, taxing the healthcare system and putting unprecedented demand on the men and women who work on its frontlines. Nurses, physicians, and other medical personnel have come to the Baltimore metropolitan area from across the state and throughout the country to support their colleagues in managing the coronavirus pandemic, in many cases sacrificing their own comfort and well-being for the good of our community.

DoubleTree by Hilton Baltimore North in Pikesville, Maryland wanted to show its support for the medical staff who have been caring for those with COVID-19 in local hospitals. According to Mark Mahoney, General Manager, the DoubleTree by Hilton has provided in excess of 500 room nights to frontline medical personnel at no charge.

“During times of community crisis, it’s important for everyone to think about what is uniquely within their power to do to help,” said Mahoney. At DoubleTree by Hilton, our business is comfort. We wanted to provide a safe, comfortable place for medical staff working at the hospitals nearby to relax after or between shifts, or for those arriving from out of state—such as traveling nurses or volunteering physicians from other parts of the country. Our donation is part of a larger commitment from Hilton and American Express to provide up to 1 million hotel room nights across the United States to frontline medical professionals through May 31.”

The DoubleTree by Hilton is located near many area hospitals, including The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Greater Baltimore Medical Center (GBMC), Northwest Hospital, Sinai Hospital, and other affiliates of the LifeBridge and MedStar medical systems, making it an ideal location for frontline workers commuting to Emergency Departments, Intensive Care Units, and COVID-19 testing units in the Baltimore metropolitan area.

Joelle Giron, a travel nurse who recently stayed at the DoubleTree by Hilton, says she was grateful for the clean, comfortable, complimentary accommodations.

“The compassion of the staff was amazing,” she said. “I always had a group of staff members sending me off in the morning and welcoming me back at the end of my shift—always observing social distancing and other indoor safety protocols. They even hand-delivered DoubleTree’s signature chocolate chip cookies to my room—warm, and fresh from the oven—and made sure I always had coffee to put in my thermos as I was running out the door!’

Diana Barron, another traveling nurse, also said staying at the DoubleTree by Hilton felt like her home away from home. “I am very grateful for all the kindness and patience I received from the staff,” she said. “From the very first day, they welcomed me. They were professional, friendly, and caring, and they truly made an effort to get to know me. All of this is especially important during the pandemic, when everyone needs a little extra TLC. Thankfully, I found that in this wonderful hotel.”

Advanced Implant Dentistry and Oral Restoration Transforms Smiles and Lives with Full Mouth Reconstruction in Cedarhurst, NY


Drs. Michael Klein and Allon Waltuch, Prosthodontist and Dentist in Cedarhurst, NY

Drs. Michael Klein and Allon Waltuch Transform Lives with Full Mouth Reconstructions in Cedarhurst, NY

When Dr. Klein finished the surgery, he handed me the mirror and it was like a light was shining on my face because I saw my smile for the first time; my real smile. It was a great feeling.

Drs. Michael Klein and Allon Waltuch are now accepting new patients with or without a referral for transformative full mouth reconstruction treatment in Cedarhurst, NY and the surrounding Five Towns area. This treatment rejuvenates the smiles of patients who are unhappy with the appearance of their mouth or whose oral health suffers from complications. Full mouth reconstruction is customized to each patient’s needs and can incorporate a multitude of services, including dental implants.

“The fact that Dr. Klein told me what was going to happen, what he was going to do and how I was going to feel was very important to me because not knowing is scary,” says Joshua, a full mouth reconstruction patient of Dr. Klein’s. “When Dr. Klein finished the surgery, he handed me the mirror and it was like a light was shining on my face because I saw my smile for the first time; my real smile. It was a great feeling.”

Full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive treatment that helps improve smiles and oral function through dental procedures. Drs. Klein and Waltuch work closely with patients to discover their needs and smile goals, which helps them devise a customized plan for each full mouth reconstruction. The full scope of the project can include multiple treatments, all of which are designed to complement each other and create a mouth that functions properly and is aesthetically pleasing. The overall treatment time depends on the patient and the number of procedures that need to be completed in order to achieve the desired smile. Common treatments performed in full mouth reconstruction can include:


  • Dental implants
  • Tooth extraction
  • Soft tissue treatments
  • Orthodontics
  • IV sedation

The doctors at Advanced Implant Dentistry and Oral Restoration are skilled at full mouth reconstruction and often help patients with severe oral conditions, like tooth and bone loss. For these patients, the practice can restore lost bone through a unique solution called S.M.A.R.T.™ bone grafts in order to create a stable foundation for dental implants. Missing teeth can then be restored with dental implants, which mimic the function and appearance of natural teeth. Drs. Klein and Waltuch can replace any number of missing teeth, including a full mouth of missing teeth, and can often complete the entire implant procedure in just one appointment.

Those in need of a smile rejuvenation or dental implants in Cedarhurst, NY and surrounding areas are invited to connect with Drs. Michael Klein and Allon Waltuch for full mouth reconstruction. To schedule an appointment, call the office at 516-665-1249 or visit the website at http://www.advancedimplantsli.com.

The Alcohol and Drug Abuse Certification Board of Georgia Selects Certemy’s Certification Management Software to Automate Addiction Counselor Certification


Certemy’s Professional Certification Management software will allow the Board to process applications and renewals up to 90% faster and help reduce their administrative burden by up to 75%.

Certemy, a leading provider of certification management software for professional certification boards, announced today that the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Certification Board of Georgia will use Certemy to automate applications and renewals for 2,400 certified addiction counselors statewide.

Certemy will help the Board reduce administrative costs, speed application processing times, and provide public access to real-time registry data. Most importantly, the new system will automate busy work and free up board staff to spend more time supporting counselors and growing the Board.

“With our manual system, we spent too much time chasing paper and reviewing submissions,” said Zac Talbott, President of the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Certification Board of Georgia. “We heard about Certemy from other IC&RC boards who were already using their software. After reviewing the platform ourselves, we believe that Certemy could help us process applications and renewals up to 90% faster with a 50-75% reduction in our administrative burden.”

WHAT PROBLEMS WILL CERTEMY SOLVE FOR THE ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE CERTIFICATION BOARD OF GEORGIA?

The Board needed to upgrade a manual system that created a significant administrative burden and delayed application review and approval times. In particular, Certemy will help the Board solve the following problems:


  • Reduce phone calls and emails so board staff can focus on more strategic activities.
  • Eliminate paper and lower postage costs.
  • Allow board staff to process applications and renewals from anywhere, including their home office.
  • Streamline continuing education (CE) tracking and reporting and help professionals quickly find Board-approved CE products.
  • Create a real-time registry of certified counselors that employers and members of the public can access 24×7.
  • Enable counselors to manage their certification applications and renewals online using their computer or smartphone.


WHY DID THE ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE CERTIFICATION BOARD OF GEORGIA CHOOSE CERTEMY?

The Board selected Certemy after reviewing several other certification management software vendors. The Board chose Certemy for the following reasons:


  • Automation — Certemy will automate every step of the Board’s application and renewal process for addiction counselors. The platform will automatically guide them through the process, step-by-step, with automatic reminders as they approach task deadlines. Certemy will allow them to complete every task on their computer or smartphone, including document uploads and online fee payments. Certemy will automatically alert board staff when a counselor’s application or renewal is ready for review and automatically generate electronic certificates for successful certificants. The system will also automatically populate a public registry on the Board’s website and send email alerts to counselors when it is time for them to renew their certification.
  • Flexibility — The Board found Certemy to be the simplest system to deploy, manage, and change over time. Certemy uses configurable building blocks for common certification management functions such as capturing professional data, uploading documents, collecting online payments, logging work experience, tracking exam registrations, and managing continuing education hours. The Board will assemble and configure these building blocks — without programming — to create personalized workflows that model and automate their real-world processes. These same building blocks will allow the Board to make simple changes — like adding new fields to an application, increasing a fee, or modifying CE requirements — in minutes and without programming.
  • Continuing Education (CE) management — The Board appreciated Certemy’s comprehensive approach to CE management. The platform makes it easy for professionals to submit CE hours or units against the Board’s requirements. A common source of counselor frustration (which drives a significant volume of inbound phone calls and emails to board staff) is knowing which CE classes are approved by the Board for a credential requirement. Certemy provides a CE Marketplace option that automatically presents counselors with a list of pre-approved CE classes for each CE requirement they must complete. The marketplace eliminates counselor frustration and saves countless hours for board staff who no longer have to provide this information by phone or email.


ABOUT THE ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE CERTIFICATION BOARD OF GEORGIA

The Alcohol and Drug Abuse Certification Board of Georgia (ADACBG) was formed in 1992 to offer certification to Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselors and supervisors in alcohol and drug counseling. The Board’s mission is to provide competency-based certification that will assure quality care for those affected by substance abuse. The Board uses the standards and methods offered by the International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium/Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse IC&RC/AODA, an international credentialing body organized to promote uniform professional standards and quality for the substance abuse counseling profession throughout the U.S. and overseas.

ABOUT CERTEMY

Certemy is a leading provider of affordable, easy-to-use certification management software for professional certification boards. Our platform streamlines and automates certification workflows to help certification boards become more efficient, transparent, and agile while reducing IT costs and administrative burdens.

Certemy delivers the lowest cost of ownership for any comparable solution with predictable Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) pricing with no implementation, training, or change fees. We also provide the only certification management solution that allows board staff to change application and renewal processes themselves without IT help or programming. Our platform scales to support boards of every size — from those managing a few hundred professionals to those managing over 100,000.

An active member of the credentialing community, Certemy is a proud member of The Council on Licensure, Enforcement and Regulation (CLEAR), the Institute for Credentialing Excellence (ICE), and the Association of Test Publishers (ATP). Learn more about Certemy at https://certemy.com.

Shady Grove Fertility Physicians Host Virtual Fertility Events and Live Physician Q&As throughout June, including those that Honor LGBTQ Pride and Men’s Health Month


Paul Shin, M.D., Tomer Singer, M.D. among SGF experts who will host virtual events throughout June.

Each event concludes with a question and answer session where attendees have the opportunity to get their questions answered by the practice’s physician experts.

Shady Grove Fertility (SGF) remains dedicated to their core mission of reaching and teaching the community about fertility health and options for overcoming infertility. In June, the practice will host six virtual fertility events, including two that celebrate LGBTQ Pride and Men’s Health Month. Each event concludes with a question and answer session where attendees have the opportunity to get their questions answered by the practice’s physician experts.

“As a practice we feel privileged to help members of the LGBTQ community achieve their goals of building a family. We are dedicated to educate couples about their family building options, and ultimately to help them begin their path to parenthood,” says Dr. Tomer Singer of SGF New York, who will host a LGBTQ Family Building Virtual Event on Tuesday, June 18 at noon. “Many of our treatment options for same-sex and transgender couples enable both partners to participate actively in the family building process,” adds Dr. Singer.

SGF offers a full range of services, from low tech to highly advanced, applying the latest in assisted reproductive technology (ART) to help individuals and couples achieve successful outcomes.

“Many people believe infertility is a female problem. The reality is, 40 to 50 percent of all infertility diagnosis are attributed to the male,” says Dr. Paul Shin, one of SGF’s in-house board certified reproductive urologists, who sees patients in SGF’s Washington, D.C., Frederick, MD, Rockville, MD, Fair Oaks, VA, and Fairfax, VA, offices.

“For my male patients, I remind them that if there are any existing conditions that could be affecting their ability to conceive, such as low testosterone, erectile dysfunction (ED), or problems ejaculating, it’s time to see a specialist,” advises Dr. Shin, who will host a Male Fertility Virtual Event on Thursday, June 25 at noon, as well as an Instagram Live Q&A on Friday, June 19 at 11:30am.

During the webinar, Dr. Shin will discuss how easy it is to test for male factor infertility, common causes for this diagnosis, ways to adjust lifestyle to improve fertility, and the treatment options available at SGF.

Attainia Launches Next Generation Medical Equipment Planning Platform


We are taking advantage of cutting edge technology to make our application work faster, smarter, and better for our clients than ever before.

Attainia, the market leader in cloud-based software for medical equipment planning for new construction, expansion and renovation projects, announced the launch of PROJECT, the next generation of its flagship equipment planning platform. The new platform offers exceptionally fast processing; a modern, intuitive interface; and enhanced analytics capabilities.

“We are extremely proud of the new platform and the many innovations we’re introducing,” said DJ Chhabra, CEO and chairman of the board. “We are taking advantage of cutting edge technology to make our application work faster, smarter, and better for our clients than ever before.”

Major features of the new PROJECT platform include:

  • Dramatic increase in speed, with an average page load time that is 80% faster than the legacy Attainia platform
  • An enhanced analytics feature that allows planners to visualize and use their data in a variety of new ways, including PDF reports, graphs, and data exports
  • A more user-friendly and intuitive design


The new platform also continues to support equipment planners with key time-saving and risk-mitigating features, including more than 1,400 pre-built department and room templates, and an industry-leading integrated supplier catalog of more than 66,000 products.

“The new platform was designed and built based on years of feedback from our clients,” Chhabra said. “We continue to solicit feedback, and are constantly using that input to inform development decisions. The user experience has also been at the heart of every decision we have made for this software, and we continue to consider how work through our applications can be done differently to drive efficiencies and effectiveness.”

After a beta period in summer 2019 with select clients, the platform was released as general availability in October of 2019, and introduced more broadly to the client base at the Attainia Community Summit in February 2020.

Attainia continues to follow an iterative approach to developing the new platform. The team releases new features, functionality and enhancements to the platform on an ongoing basis, while also continuing to migrate and support clients in the new application. This approach allows the development team to continuously solicit feedback from clients — and pivot as needed — to ensure the most positive and productive user experience possible.

“The first thing any equipment planner will notice is about the new software — the speed! It’s incredible,” said Steven Isakson, equipment planner for Intermountain Healthcare, who is using the new PROJECT platform to create an equipment list for a new children’s hospital. “We are also excited about the analytics. The new analytics capabilities will give our sourcing managers the tools they need to negotiate pricing and develop strategic relationships with our suppliers.”

About Attainia

Used by more than 1,000 member hospitals, the Attainia PLAN-IT solution portfolio offers advanced, cloud-based solutions for medical equipment planning, routine replacement, and analytics.
