Carium bridges the gap between a care delivery setting and a patient’s daily life.


ST. LOUIS (PRWEB)

The American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) has announced the addition of the healthcare transformation company Carium to its Lifestyle Medicine Corporate Roundtable, a group of individuals and organizations whose collective vision is sustainable human health, a sustainable health care system and a sustainable world.

Carium’s collaborative care software platform consists of patient and provider-facing mobile and web apps, built securely in the cloud. The platform connects health care teams to patients throughout the course of everyday life through secure communications and data insights, so they can collaborate to improve health outcomes, increase efficiency and make the experience of health care better for everyone involved.

The company’s team of experts assists its partners to leverage the software for success in fee-for-service and value-based contexts, with skills in clinical transformation, patient engagement, and behavior change science. Carium’s program is designed with flexibility to adapt to evolving clinical and organizational needs with relevant real-time insights and task management to help practices empower patients to stay on track.

Carium’s capabilities in virtual Lifestyle Medicine care delivery will be discussed by ACLM member Dave Donohue, MD, FACP, DipABLM, in a webinar to be held May 27 at 11 a.m. CDT. Visit this webpage for more information on the webinar or to register.

“Carium helps to bridge the gap between what happens in a care delivery setting and the rest of a patient’s daily life,” said ACLM President Dexter Shurney, MD, MBA, MPH, FACLM, DipABLM. “This type of solution helps a patient maintain the kinds of lifestyle changes they need for optimal health outcomes. We are pleased to bring Carium into our Corporate Roundtable.”

“We are very excited to support the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and its members. Lifestyle Medicine aligns completely with Carium’s vision of leveraging technology to help connect care teams with people within the fabric of their lives — supporting collaborative models of whole-person care and health for individuals and populations,” said Carium’s Chief Medical Officer, Gregory Weidner, MD, FACP.

The Corporate Roundtable of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine convenes health care and lifestyle thought leaders, with a keen focus on the power of Lifestyle Medicine to transform health and health care. Roundtable members explore effective Lifestyle Medicine clinical applications, strategies for accelerating reimbursement, and adoption and analysis of potential business-related opportunities. The Roundtable launched in 2015 and has grown to include more than 30 active member organizations.

ABOUT THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF LIFESTYLE MEDICINE: ACLM is the medical professional society for those dedicated to the advancement and clinical practice of Lifestyle Medicine as the foundation of a transformed and sustainable health care system. Lifestyle Medicine is the use of a whole food, plant-predominant dietary lifestyle, regular physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances and positive social connection as a primary therapeutic modality for treatment and reversal of chronic disease.

More than a professional association, ACLM is a galvanized force for change. ACLM addresses the need for quality education and certification, supporting its members in their individual practices and in their collective mission to domestically and globally promote Lifestyle Medicine as the first treatment option, as opposed to a first option of treating symptoms and consequences with expensive, ever increasing quantities of pills and procedures. ACLM members are united in their desire to identify and eradicate the root cause of disease. Learn more at https://www.LifestyleMedicine.org.

Inbox Health National Survey of medical billers reveals key challenges and investments resulting from the coronavirus pandemic

Leave a comment



NEW HAVEN, Conn. (PRWEB)

Medical billers that support independent medical practices have a front-row seat to the industry’s unprecedented financial struggle due to the coronavirus pandemic. In a new survey by Inbox Health, medical billers revealed that the lower revenues from the elimination of elective procedures and routine care has been amplified beyond the doctor’s office to pose a serious threat to industries that support them.

Inbox Health conducted a national survey of medical billers, with responses from billers that together support approximately 1200 independent medical practices in the US. The survey found that the majority of respondents found COVID-19 to be a threat to their business. 53% of independent medical billers reported that COVID-19 has posed a serious threat to their business, while 30% saw it as a minor threat. 8% view the pandemic as no threat at all, and 9% not sure of its impact at the time of the survey.

This data aligns with the sentiment of independent medical practices who have been disportionately and most directly affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Larger medical billers are not immune from the downstream effects of COVID-19, as billers that represent more than 100 practices anticipate a reduction in patient collections between 10-25%.

Inbox Health surveyed medical billers across the United States, with responses from medical billers in each region including the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest and West. Survey respondents provide support across 22 different medical specialties representing broad coverage of the total medical community.

Respondents were taking, or planning to take, a variety of steps to prepare for the effects of the pandemic, with the vast majority (85%) increasing support for telehealth and 50% reducing overhead costs. A large number (37%) were automating new processes and workflows, and almost as many were creating new patient payment plans (33%) and implementing new remote payment options (28%). Only 16% of respondents planned to suspend payment requirements for the duration of the crisis.

“As practices are forced to cut costs to survive, they are increasingly examining which costs can be eliminated or reduced,” said Amy Koon, CEO of Keystone Medical Management. “As a billing company, we strive to remain a critical partner by ensuring expertise in implementing telehealth, creative and sustainable payment options for patients, and providing reliable, yet flexible, communication and workflows to support the practice through a rapidly shifting landscape of revenue challenges.”

“Medical billers are resilient.” said Inbox Health CEO Blake Walker. “The current pandemic is disportanetly affecting independent practices and the medical billers that support them. This survey helps us understand the degree of the threat, the steps billers are taking to maintain operations in the face of ongoing business constraints presented by COVID-19, and how we can help.”

Gennev Brings Vital Supplements to Women in Menopause for Symptom Relief

Gennev Vitality Menopause Vitamin Pack

“To be truly as healthy as we can be, women need an optimal diet. But our busy society, full of pre-packaged, salty, sugary food, makes it tough to maintain a healthy diet. We created Vitality as an affordable, bio-available vitamin pack to fill this gap.”


SEATTLE (PRWEB)

With a continued focus on improving the menopause experience for millions of women, Gennev (https://gennev.com) today announced Vitality, a first-of-its-kind vitamin pack created for and by women for the relief of common menopause symptoms. Created with pharmaceutical-grade nutrients and sourced from GMP-certified providers, Vitality includes five capsules with therapeutic doses that support known nutrient deficiencies common in women as they age into their forties and beyond.

Vitality ingredients include therapeutic nutrients commonly needed in peri- and post- menopause as estrogen levels fall. Vitality’s nutrients support immune function, improve energy, reduce joint pain, and aid with stress management as women age. Packaged for single daily doses, Vitality is designed to be taken with food, preferably in the morning.

“While we recommend getting nutrition from natural sources (food, water, sunlight), those sources may not always be enough as a woman’s body and nutritional needs change with age,” said Dr. Wendy Ellis, who holds a doctorate in naturopathic medicine and serves as a nutrition coach and hormone disorder expert for Gennev. “To be truly as healthy as we can be, women need an optimal diet. But our busy society, full of pre-packaged, salty, sugary food, makes it tough to maintain a healthy diet. We created Vitality as an affordable, bio-available vitamin pack to fill this gap, without requiring women to choke down a pill better sized for a horse.”

Over the past 3 years, over 80,000 women globally have benefited from Gennev’s line of supplements, lubricants, and telehealth services for menopause. This includes offering telehealth specializing in gynecology, primary care, and functional care, as well as natural, quality-sourced wellness products that soothe menopause symptoms. As the leading authority on menopause that will serve 1 million women in 2020, Gennev’s health care team of OB/GYNs certified by the North American Menopause Society, and health coaches certified as Registered Dietitian Nutritionists, are changing the way women manage menopause. The formulations for the Vitality pack were created by cross patterning data captured across Gennev’s services, including 40,000 menopause assessments. Creation and ingredient sourcing was done under the direction of Dr. Ellis, who has over 15 years’ experience in integrative medicine and clinical research on women in menopause.

Nutrients in the Gennev Vitality pack to help women find relief during the menopause transition include:

  • 2,000IU Vitamin D3 for bones and immune system

  • 100mg Co Enzyme Q10 for fatigue and heart health

  • 200mg Magnesium (Citrate) for joint pain, blood sugar support, stress, and better sleep

  • 600mcg B-12 (Methylcobalamin) for energy

  • 20mg Pyridoxal 5 Phosphate B6 for mood and stress

  • 600mcg Folate (Magnofolate) for hot flashes and depression

  • 600mg N-Acetyl L-Cysteine 98.5% for memory and liver support

  • 200IU Vitamin E Novatol for immune support

  • 300mcg Biotin for hair and nails

  • 2,000IU Beta Carotene for immune response

  • 500mg Turmeric (Curcumin) for inflammation

  • 200mcg Selenomethionine for thyroid support

“In the menopausal transition, women have a significant increase in bone loss and risk of cardiovascular disease and may have higher requirements for nutrients needed to maintain good health,” said Jill Angelo, co-founder and CEO of Gennev. “Vitality combines those essential nutrients into one daily pack and fits into our overall strategy to help women get the support they need to find relief and improve quality of life.”

Read the blog post here for a more comprehensive overview of the nutrients in Vitality.

Pricing

Pricing for Gennev Vitality is $39.95 for a 30-day supply or $31.96 for a monthly subscription. Gennev Vitality is available for purchase at https://gennev.com.

PockeTracker Finds New Use as ID Tracking Device During COVID-19 Pandemic

Leave a comment



JUPITER, Fla. (PRWEB)

PockeTracker is a powerful and easily customizable tracking and credential verification tool available in the age of COVID-19. With PockeTracker administrators can scan the ID or search a person’s credentials via smartphone and instantly get a red or green screen to determine whether the person should be present in a certain area. User defined fields allow PockeTracker to easily keep track of any data element that may quickly change such as whether a person has permission to be on campus or other criteria including if they have paid their dues and/or completed required training. PockeTracker retains an activity log of every scan giving campus administrators a real-time snapshot of campus activity that can be viewed from the web-based reporting system.

Currently, PockeTracker is implemented at colleges & universities, K12 schools, and corporate venues for event admittance, attendance, preventing suspended/unwanted people from entering campus, as a busing solution, and much more. It is being used to verify admittance to high value sites in places such as Disney World and the Grand Central Terminal in New York, as well as the highly secure Academy Awards venue to keep uninvited guests off the Red Carpet.

PockeTracker can be enabled to read any existing employee or student ID card to gain admittance; or you can also create a unique barcode for all individuals that can be used transparently or anonymously. Once created, any iPhone or Android device equipped with the PockeTracker app can instantly read the barcode to accept or reject people from any location including: sporting events, concerts, meat-packing plants, nursing homes or other venues where safe-distancing is difficult. The criteria for checking individuals can flash red or green for any criteria important to the company or institution owning the solution such as mandatory quarantines.

“We’re very pleased with PockeTracker’s 15 years of proven success and are excited for the many ways it is being used to further enhance campus safety and security.”, stated Zack Walker, Director of Sales.

Healthcare Startup Offers Remote Cardiac Monitoring During COVID-19 Pandemic

Leave a comment


HOME MONITORING SUCCESS

CARDIAC HOME MONITORING SUCCESS

Arrhythmia and Alert Detection On Day One.


HOUSTON (PRWEB)

Octagos Health, a Houston-based company, recently launched a next generation remote monitoring software platform for patients with implanted cardiac devices. The Octagos software allows healthcare professionals access to cardiac patients’ pacemaker, defibrillator or loop recorder data using one portal. The software greatly simplifies the management of remote transmissions and at the same time provides real-time patient insights and analytics in a secure, cloud-based platform. The Octagos software is also able to further improve efficiency with capabilities such as integrating data from over 70 electronic health record (EHR) companies. By streamlining this information, Octagos makes it easy for providers to monitor all of their patients’ device data and reduce the possible liability of missing critical transmissions.

While Octagos boosts efficiency and saves time on administrative tasks, the software is especially helpful in the age of COVID-19. Cardiac patients are more vulnerable to the coronavirus than the general population, and healthcare providers are facing overwhelming demand while coping with limited resources. Remote software gives providers the ability to provide high quality care for patients without physical contact. This helps to keep at-risk patients safe while also allowing doctors to manage their time and resources more efficiently.

“When the COVID crisis hit I was worried about how I was going to take care of my patients,” said Dr. Shanti Bansal, a Houston physician who also serves as the Director of Medical Affairs for Octagos. “Through the use of the service and software of Octagos, I was able to quickly and easily see all my patients’ device information without the worry of missing anything. I was able not only to talk to them about how they were doing, but also to make decisions for their care with relevant data.”

While home monitoring is effective, many of these remote tools are still under-used. For Eric Olsen, SVP of Commercial Operations at Octagos, there was a clear opportunity to create new software supported by strong service to address these issues. “It is apparent that remote monitoring continues to be underutilized despite the abundance of data supporting its effectiveness, to include a Class IA recommendation by the Heart Rhythm Society. Our software and service model remove the barriers patients and physicians face on a daily basis that lead to this under utilization,” says Olsen.

“We provide the necessary support, such as live representatives and a robust software platform, to ensure patients are consistently transmitting their device data from home. We also reduce the cost of care by providing physician practices with the necessary infrastructure that would be cost prohibitive to implement at the practice level. Our software and service model also greatly improve the consistency and predictability of appropriate billing, which is often very hard for practices to manage.”

About Octagos Health: Octagos Health creates cutting-edge software for remote cardiac monitoring backed by a team of very experienced cardiac device experts. The Octagos platform allows healthcare professionals to monitor all of their implanted cardiac device patients using a single platform, streamlining the monitoring process. The Octagos team combines powerful digital monitoring with the personal touch that patients expect from their medical professionals. The result is a revolutionized monitoring process that patients and providers can trust.

Providers can learn more about Octagos Health and schedule a software demo by visiting octagoshealth.com. For additional information, please contact Octagos directly by emailing info@octagoshealth.com or by calling 281-769-8733.

Nicole Bobko – Winner of Express Kitchens Mother’s Day Giveaway 2020 – with fire security personnel and police personnel

The essence of our mission at Express Kitchens is what happens inside somebody’s kitchen – Values and traditions are taught, years and generations of recipes are passed on, kids do their homework – this is what happens in an Express Kitchen.


HARTFORD, Conn. (PRWEB)

Today Nicole is working at the hospital away from her kids so we all can enjoy Mother’s Day. Nicole is a role model for society and community – a person whom people can look up to and get inspired by her strength of facing the everyday challenges of life and keep moving on. Nicole’s family, friends and the community played a very important role in shaping her and lifting her from the tragedy in her life.

Sharing the essence of Express Kitchens’ mission on Mother’s Day, Max Kothari, CEO of Express Kitchens, said, “The essence of our mission at Express Kitchens is what happens inside somebody’s kitchen – Values and traditions are taught, years and generations of recipes are passed on, kids do their homework – this is what happens in an Express Kitchen. That is our responsibility to nurture human spirit and that is what Nicole is all about. When she faced a tragedy in her life, her family put arms around her and Express Kitchens today as a business is putting arms around the community. We want to thank everybody who participated in our mission.”

The Mother’s Day 2020 is a special tribute to all the extraordinary women in the healthcare sector, who work tirelessly to contribute and help people overcome their struggle and challenges of life amidst the nationwide health emergency. The 31-day long community-driven campaign for the Mother’s Day by Express Kitchens witnessed overwhelming response from people across all walks-of-life from Connecticut and Massachusetts. Nearly 180+ families submitted their responses and video submissions and extended whole-hearted support to all the healthcare mothers, who are committed to serve the humanity. The Mother’s Day 2020 will always remain a very special milestone and memory for the Express Kitchens and its team.
