Reinforcing its commitment to elevate the human experience in healthcare, The Beryl Institute shares initial concepts for its Future of Human Experience 2030 (HX2030) exploration.


NASHVILLE, Tenn. (PRWEB)

Reinforcing its commitment to elevate the human experience in healthcare, The Beryl Institute shares initial concepts for its Future of Human Experience 2030 (HX2030) exploration. HX2030 is a community inquiry focused on uncovering fundamental actions to guide healthcare in ensuring an unwavering commitment to the human experience over the next decade.

Over 1,000 members of The Beryl Institute community provided input through a series of virtual conversations and a global survey. These concepts and ideas were reviewed by a steering team of community leaders who aligned and refined the ideas to create a dynamic framework comprised of six fundamental actions that will be essential to elevate a commitment to human experience.

In working to elevate the human experience in healthcare over the next decade, patients and consumers of care, workforce within healthcare organizations and the communities they serve will work together to ensure that healthcare efforts:

Patients:

  • Reframe consumerism to patient and consumer partnership.

  • Provide a precision experience through the use of real-time data and decision analytics.


Workforce:

  • Address process burdens and workload issues for healthcare workers.

  • Transform professional models for a new healthcare workforce.


Communities:

  • Expand beyond treating illness to addressing the health and well-being of communities.

  • Meet people where they are, where they need it and follow them where they go.

“Supporting the HX2030 vision as well as acknowledging the realities and new existence of healthcare as we move through the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond, the Institute remains committed to elevating the human experience in every way,” said Jason Wolf, PhD, CPXP, President & CEO of The Beryl Institute. “We will continue to work relentlessly with our community to design and shape a future for healthcare and humanity that honors all in idea and action.”

Midstate Radiology Associates, LLC Offers High-Risk Cancer Screening Program

Leave a comment


Midstate Radiology Associates, LLC

This program is a life-changer. We really are saving lives.


MERIDEN, Conn. (PRWEB)

For 65 years, Midstate Radiology Associates, LLC has been a leader in diagnostic and therapeutic radiology. The large radiology practice is one of the first providers in the United States to offer a high-risk screening program within Advanced Women’s Imaging at all of their Connecticut locations.

Midstate Radiology Associates, LLC has partnered with Navagen Health Partners to provide patients knowledge of their genetic cancer risk through the “Give a Spit” Campaign.

Patients can easily access a 5-minute online cancer risk assessment from the Midstate Radiology Associates, LLC website and be sent their breast cancer risk score via email.

If a patient is found to be at increased risk for breast cancer, Midstate Radiology Associates, LLC will connect him or her with a certified genetics counselor from the comfort of their home or via phone at the time of their mammogram.

If the patient prefers, a paper questionnaire can be completed at the time of her mammogram. Based on the results of the assessment, patients will be provided additional diagnostic testing recommendations.

Patients at elevated risk can provide a saliva sample in-office or opt to have an at-home testing kit mailed to them by Midstate Radiology Associates, LLC. Once the sample is received, it takes about six weeks to analyze before a nurse practitioner reviews the results and next steps with the patient in-person or virtually.

“This program is a life-changer. When we identify women and their families at higher risk for cancer, there are things we can do to lower those risks or prevent the cancer from actually occurring. We really are saving lives,” says Meghan Burgess, MSN, NP-C, AOCNP, Director of Screening & Preventative Services at Midstate Radiology Associates, LLC.

To schedule a mammogram or learn more about genetic testing, contact Midstate Radiology Associates, LLC by phone at 203.694.8879.

Lief Therapeutics Announces Downtime™ Digital Anxiety Treatment Now Available Under FDA’s COVID-19 Emergency Guidance

Leave a comment

Lief’s Downtime™ digital anxiety intervention helps increase heart rate variability to reduce anxiety

When you don’t have another appointment with your therapist or doctor until next week, or you need help calming yourself down in the moment when you’re feeling overwhelmed, Lief is there to help you.


SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)

Lief Therapeutics today announced its Downtime™ digital anxiety intervention is available as an adjunct treatment for Generalized Anxiety Disorder during the COVID-19 emergency. The patented digital intervention is delivered through the company’s flagship Lief Rx Smart Patch, a wearable ECG device now covered under most insurance plans. For the duration of the COVID-19 emergency, physicians can prescribe Downtime™ to help patients manage symptoms of anxiety in conjunction with their primary treatment plan.

Lief’s digital prescriptions are designed to improve heart rate variability (HRV), the gold standard biomarker for mental health. A meta-analysis of 2,086 anxiety patients found that low HRV is associated with anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, PTSD, and panic. Lief’s core offering, HRV biofeedback training, has been shown to significantly decrease stress and anxiety.

In clinical trials, 88% of Lief study participants reported significantly reduced anxiety over the course of eight weeks, as measured by standardized psychometric assessment. Participants were also able to significantly increase their HRV by approximately 50% in 3 minute exercises with the device.

Dr. Ty Canning, a clinical psychologist in the Bay Area shares, “Lief is a cutting edge resource to battle anxiety in the moment. Without it, patients are left relying on medications that, while initially helpful, become ineffective over time. With Lief there is no risk for dependence and no build-up of tolerance, only the increase of ability to self-regulate.”

The Lief Rx Smart Patch can be worn discreetly throughout the day to help patients track their HRV and train it higher through personalized biofeedback exercises. Healthcare providers can use Lief’s free Clinician Dashboard to remotely enroll eligible patients in the Lief program, monitor their biomarker and self-report data, and send secure chat and video messages through the connected mobile app.

Lief’s fully remote program helps providers treat patients’ anxiety and communicate outside the office, thereby supporting nationwide social distancing measures. By enabling patients to reduce their anxiety through empowering biofeedback exercises and support from a remote behavioral health specialist, Lief extends the capabilities of care teams and helps ease the burden on health care facilities and providers.

Highlighting the growing need for remote mental health technologies like Lief in light of ongoing social isolation during COVID-19, the FDA noted in their updated policy guidance,“The use of digital health technologies, including software as a medical device or other digital therapeutics solutions, may improve mental health and well-being of patients with psychiatric conditions during periods of shelter-in-place, isolation, and quarantine.”

As a result of the updated policy guidance, patients can utilize Lief to further reduce their anxiety as a complement to talk therapy, their medication regimen, or another primary therapy as determined by their physician. The wearability and continuous monitoring capabilities of Lief offer a valuable tool for those in need of mental health support on a regular basis. Whether utilized in between appointments with their doctor as a routine well-being practice, or in response to acutely stressful events, Lief offers a flexible adjunct treatment option for those suffering from generalized anxiety disorder, who need more support during this challenging time.

Rohan Dixit, CEO & Founder of Lief shares, “Lief is designed to help people who need daily mental health support, which is particularly relevant during the current crisis when people are feeling stressed or worried every day. When you don’t have another appointment with your therapist or doctor until next week, or you need help calming yourself down in the moment when you’re feeling overwhelmed, Lief is there to help you.”

Lief Therapeutics is currently offering 10% off new users’ first month’s subscription to its direct to consumer telemedicine services with code NEWYEARSLIEF10.

About Lief Therapeutics

Lief Therapeutics offers biofeedback wearables for mental health to consumers and patients, access to telepsychiatrists, and a remote patient monitoring platform for healthcare providers. Lief Rx, Lief’s prescription-only device for patients, can be used as an adjunct treatment for generalized anxiety disorder after consultation with a physician.

D.C National Guard Black Hawk Helicopters Deliver 250,000 NUFABRX® PPE Masks Directly To First Responders

Leave a comment


News Image


ASHEBORO, N.C. (PRWEB)

The D.C National Guard recently ordered Black Hawk helicopters to the Asheboro Regional Airport to transport 250,000 PPE masks that were manufactured by the local North Carolina company. Nufabrx®, a proprietary biomaterial company that seamlessly embeds active ingredients including vitamins, supplements and medications into fabrics, in partnership with Bossong Medical has recently shifted production for a new line of reusable copper medical masks called TheraMasks. These masks are powered by CuTEC copper, a material that is known to be naturally antibacterial. Further talks are ongoing to partner with local DC small businesses to support the production effort.

These medical masks are designed to help reduce the spread of germs through the natural benefits of copper; the fabric helps create a healthier environment for the wearer and reduce facial contamination. The products are durable enough to be machine washed and dried for 30 washes. TheraMasks are environmentally friendly and are not intended to be thrown away daily like disposable masks. Products have been tested for antibacterial (AATCC 100) Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) and Viral Filtration Efficiency (VFE); all data is available to the public online.

The District of Columbia National Guard was activated by the D.C. Mayor, the Hon. Muriel Bowser, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This mission exemplifies the preparedness and quick response of the DCNG to provide vital supplies and equipment needed during these trying times.

Prior to delivering to DC’s National Guard, Nufabrx had already begun delivering to first responders, law enforcement, emergency and medical support teams in Washington D.C. Every minute matters to those on the front line. “Our heroes on the front lines are risking their lives for us, the least we can do is make sure they are adequately protected” said Jordan Schindler, Nufabrx CEO. “We are grateful that we are able to provide PPE to those that need them, and that our Government is choosing to support small businesses and Made in America in this difficult time.” Numerous jobs have been saved and countless more brought back as a result of this effort.

Products can be purchased online at http://www.TheraMasks.com. Nufabrx is continuing to prioritize distribution to healthcare workers and first responders.

About Nufabrx® and TheraMasks

Founded in 2011, Nufabrx® was created by Founder Jordan Schindler after discovering his pillowcase was contributing to his acne. Teaming up with MIT scientists and DoD funding, Jordan spent seven years developing proprietary technology to embed active ingredients into clothing to make medicinal application easier and more efficient. As a way to help our healthcare workers, reusable copper medical masks were a natural transition; TheraMasks was founded as a division of nufabrx.

Chowbotics Quadruples Hospital Deployments of Sally, the Salad Robot

Leave a comment


Due to COVID-19 we have had to close our self-serve salad bar which really had a negative impact on customer service in our main cafeteria. Fortunately we have two Sallys in other retail locations.” – explains Tonya Johnson, Director of Nutrition Services at UAMS


HAYWARD, Calif. (PRWEB)

Chowbotics is deploying over 50 new robots providing fresh customizable meals to hospitals around the country, quadrupling their hospital presence since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. Leaping from 16 hospitals on Feb 1, 2020, Chowbotics’ Sally the salad robot is slated to be in 70 hospitals in the US and Europe by the end of June. As hospitals nationwide have shut down their salad bars amidst hygienic concerns and new food safety criteria, Sally provides much-needed safer access to fresh food 24/7 with the ability to customize meals for dietary preferences.

“Due to COVID-19 we have had to close our self-serve salad bar which really had a negative impact on customer service in our main cafeteria,” explains Tonya Johnson, Director of Nutrition Services at UAMS (University Arkansas Medical School). “Fortunately we have two Sallys in other retail locations where people can still enjoy fresh salads with ingredients they choose. Sally has proven to be a valuable investment during this pandemic. The equipment provides a safe, sanitary method to distribute fresh ingredients.”

Sally’s airtight container keeps all ingredients protected from touch or exposure to the environment, greatly reducing the risk of contamination. In addition to providing a more hygienic experience, Sally gives users the ability to customize meals from up to 22 fresh ingredients with interactive nutrition information. This combination of safety and personalized nutrition helps hospitals in need of new custom foodservice solutions post COVID-19. Users can also select from pre-programmed meals at the tap of the button with recipes developed by Chowbotics’ culinary team which includes alumni from Morimoto Napa, The French Laundry, and John Muir Health Center (a three hospital complex in California).

Since its launch, Chowbotics has deployed over 100 robots worldwide to universities, retail stores, and offices, in addition to hospitals. The company has served over 145,000 meals, demonstrating the ability to scale. Prior to the COVID-19 crisis, Sally was present in 16 hospitals around the country, where 40% of all meals sold were served between the hours of 7pm and 7am, proving the need for 24/7 fresh foodservice. Now, that capability is more relevant than ever.

Chowbotics strives to keep hospital workers and their staff well-fed, and is working to ensure that they are able to supply as many Sallys to hospitals as quickly as possible. Hospitals receiving new robots include:

Lutheran Medical Center, Denver, CO

Good Samaritan Medical Center, West Palm Beach, FLA

Lawnwood Regional Medical Center & Heart Institute, Fort Pierce, FLA

Novant Health Huntersville Medical Center, Huntersville, NC

“Due to COVID-19 we have had to close our self-serve salad bar which really had a negative impact on customer service in our main cafeteria. Fortunately we have two Sally’s in other retail locations where people can still enjoy fresh salads with ingredients they choose. Sally has proven to be a valuable investment during this pandemic. The equipment provides a safe, sanitary method to distribute fresh ingredients. We also save on the labor and food waste associated with grab and go salads. Staff can prep Sally in less time than it takes to prepare the grab and go salads. The ingredients in Sally are also good for 7 days where grab and go salads are only good for 2 days. Customers can also pay directly at the machine which also helps with social distancing. I wish we had more robotic equipment like Sally in our food service areas.” – Tonya Johnson, Director of Nutrition Services at UAMS (University Arkansas Medical School)

“At Lutheran Medical Center, we strive to provide fast, fresh and cost-effective food options for our staff. Since our café isn’t open overnight, this leaves very limited options for our night shift staff. We are excited to introduce Sally the Salad Robot as an innovative and convenient way to order a healthy meal day or night,“ – Calvin Beasley, Vice President of Integrated Services at Lutheran Medical Center, Denver, CO

About Chowbotics: Chowbotics makes fresh food accessible with Sally, the first fresh food robot. Sally’s innovative technology provides customizable salads, bowls and snacks 24/7 in a 3’X3’ space. Chowbotics was recently selected as one of The World’s Most Innovative Companies in Robotics by Fast Company, joining a prestigious list of companies “making the most profound impact on both industry and culture,” and CEO Rick Wilmer was included in Nation’s Restaurant News The Power List: The 50 most influential technology innovators in food service. The National Restaurant Association’s Kitchen Innovation Awards, BIG Innovation Awards, Edison Awards, and Best in Biz Awards have all recognized Chowbotics for its impact on the foodservice industry.

Sun Mar Healthcare Honors Essential Workers with In-N-Out Parking Lot Cookout

Leave a comment


At Sun Mar Healthcare, we believe our team members are true superheroes. They put themselves on the frontlines of this pandemic around the clock out of love and compassion to the seniors for which they care.


BREA, Calif. (PRWEB)

Sun Mar Healthcare wants to celebrate the hard-working frontline essential workers currently serving nearly 3,000 residents in nursing facilities throughout California. To that end, Sun Mar has contracted with In-N-Out Burger to host afternoon parking lot cookouts in a much-deserved staff appreciation celebration.

During the month of May (from May 8 to May 22), In-N-Out Burger will be sending a Cookout Truck to each facility, providing lunch to the staff (150-plus employees per facility), from 2 to 4 p.m.

In California, healthcare workers are in increasingly high demand and under ever-growing stress. Even prior to the COVID-19-pandemic, Sun Mar Healthcare was committed to doing all it could to protect its employees and patients. Facilities have restricted all non-essential visitors, and staff are required to pass a temperature and symptom screening daily prior to entering the work area. However, as the epidemic stretches on, Sun Mar Healthcare feels it is not enough to just protect its employees; it must celebrate them as well.

“The world is paying even closer attention to healthcare workers right now than ever before. The spotlight is on and we want them to truly shine. This is a moment for all team members to be applauded for their tireless and selfless work,” said Bryce Porter, CMS of Sun Mar Healthcare. “In-N-Out is a Southern California classic and what better way to put a smile on the faces of the team and show them how much they’re loved and appreciated.”

Each cookout will feature giveaways and more. In addition to their lunch, every staff member will receive a “Superheros Wear Scrubs” T-shirt.

“At Sun Mar Healthcare, we believe our team members are true superheroes,” Porter said. “They put themselves on the frontlines of this pandemic around the clock out of love and compassion to the seniors for which they care. They go and do the work that few people are brave enough to do right now.”

For more information, contact Bryce Porter at BPorter@sunmarhealthcare.com, or call (949) 303-3082.

Zonar Helps Metro Fleets Sanitize Buses Through New Electronically Verifiable Process

Leave a comment


News Image

It is even more crucial to the health and safety of anyone who steps on a transit vehicle to ensure buses are clean and disinfected . Public transportation is often a lifeline for essential workers and families who need public transportation to get to work or for other daily activities


SEATTLE (PRWEB)

Zonar, the leader in smart fleet technology, today announced that its patented Electronic Verified Inspection Reporting (EVIR®) solution has a new electronically verifiable configuration for ensuring and documenting the sanitation of metro buses. The new configuration is an essential feature for transit fleet managers to ensure buses and equipment are properly sanitized regularly for the safe travel of passengers and operators during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the future. The sanitation configuration is an extension of EVIR which is already widely used for verifying Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) mandated pre- and post-trip inspections have taken place.

The new configuration for sanitation leverages EVIR, the only verified, visual inspection system available in the market today. With EVIR, transit cleaning crews can verify that every step of the sanitation of metro buses has taken place by scanning an RFID or NFC tag at designated zones, as outlined by the American Public Transit Association (APTA) standards of best practices.

“Cleanliness has always been a critical component of transit operations – now more than ever,” said H. Kevin Mest, senior vice president of passenger services at Zonar. “It is even more crucial to the health and safety of anyone who steps on a transit vehicle to ensure buses are clean and disinfected. Public transportation is often a lifeline for essential workers and families who need public transportation to get to work or for other daily activities – we’re committed to helping metro fleet managers provide confidence and peace of mind to the communities we serve.”

The EVIR configuration for sanitizing metro transit vehicles can also help transit organizations:

  • Streamline their vehicle sanitation process for improved productivity while prioritizing cleanliness of operations

  • Digitize the records of cleanings while eliminating a lengthy paper trail and make a major task easier to manage

  • Meet new Federal Transit Administration requirements of documenting specific disinfectants used for sanitation of vehicles

  • Increase productivity by identifying the exact areas and sanitation requirements of each zone

  • Set and monitor expectations of how to sanitize areas and the duration of each task


The sanitation configuration is also compliant with Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan (PTASP). Transit systems that receive Urbanized Area Formula Grants program funds must comply with the new PTASP rule by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Effective July 19, 2019, the FTA requires certain public transit agencies and all rail transit operators to develop safety plans. This rule requires these safety plans to include processes, procedures and performance targets for a safety management system (SMS). – The deadline for compliance has recently been extended December 31, 2020—but agencies are still required to work toward compliance.

Zonar is providing compliance and regulatory assistance and advice on COVID-19 via the Zonar COVID-19 Resource page, as well as a free weekly webinar hosted by the company’s Safety & Compliance team. This resource includes on-demand replays and Q&A sessions and 1:1 advice for drivers, operators and businesses around compliance and regulations through an easy-to-use form. This is all in addition to Zonar’s 24/7/365 customer success team, which is available at the ready to handle any customer or product specific inquiries.

About Zonar

Founded in 2001, Zonar has pioneered smart fleet management solutions throughout vocational, pupil, mass transit and commercial trucking industries. Zonar helps fleets of all sizes maximize the use of their assets with solutions dedicated to improving compliance, efficiency, maintenance, ridership visibility, safety and tracking.

Inc. Magazine Reveals Annual List of Best Workplaces for 2020

Leave a comment


We’re grateful to be recognized for living our values, encouraging growth, and creating a great space for developing careers.


SEATTLE (PRWEB)

Cloudticity has been named to Inc. magazine’s annual list of the Best Workplaces for 2020. Hitting newsstands May 12 in the May/June 2020 issue, and as part of a prominent Inc.com feature, the list is the result of a wide-ranging and comprehensive measurement of private American companies that have created exceptional workplaces through vibrant cultures, deep employee engagement, and stellar benefits.

Cloudticity is a technology startup on the cutting edge of cloud computing and healthcare. It’s rapid growth is a reflection of its core culture which encourages innovation and experimentation across all departments.

Collecting data from more than 3,000 submissions, Inc. singled out 395 finalists for this year’s list. Each nominated company took part in an employee survey, conducted by Quantum Workplace, on topics including trust, management effectiveness, perks, and confidence in the future. Inc. gathered, analyzed, and audited the data. Then we ranked all the employers using a composite score of survey results. This year, 73.5 percent of surveyed employees were engaged by their work.

The strongest engagement scores came from companies that prioritize the most human elements of work. These companies are leading the way in employee recognition, performance management, and diversity. It is a different playbook from a decade ago, when too many firms used the same template: free food, open work environments, and artifacts of “fun.”

“At Cloudticity, we believe our culture is at the heart of our success,” said Gerry Miller, Founder & CEO. “We’re grateful to be recognized for living our values, encouraging growth, and creating an exceptional space for developing careers.”

“Building a great corporate culture comes only from strong leadership,” says Inc. magazine editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “The companies on Inc.’s Best Workplaces list are setting an example that the whole country can learn from, especially now, when company culture is more important to the workforce than ever.”

While researching the finalists, Inc. and Quantum saw distinct themes:

  • 100 percent provide health insurance.

  • 50 percent allow employees to bring pets to work.

  • 62 percent take employees to offsite retreats to relax and recharge.

  • 20 percent offer paid sabbaticals to reward length of service.

About Cloudticity

Cloudticity helps healthcare organizations radically reshape healthcare by unlocking the full potential of the cloud. Cloudticity is a next-gen technology partner for the healthcare industry.
