“It’s extremely critical in these circumstances that front-line workers be able to access patient information such as medication records and comorbidities, no matter where they are, in order to deliver the best possible care for these patients,”

NATICK, Mass. (PRWEB)
April 14, 2020

Interbit Data, a leading technology company dedicated to providing hospital care teams with on-demand access to crucial patient data, announces new options for hospitals and health systems to access patient data from anywhere, at any time, to coordinate care during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Across the country, healthcare workers are dealing with an influx of COVID-19 patients, time and resources are scarce, and temporary hospitals are springing up at locations from schools to universities to conference centers. It’s extremely critical in these circumstances that front-line workers be able to access patient information such as medication records and comorbidities, no matter where they are, in order to deliver the best possible care for these patients,” says Arthur Young, President and CEO of Interbit Data.

Interbit Data’s NetSafe is an automated software solution that ensures uninterrupted, HIPAA-compliant access to patient data during system downtimes, including planned updates, power outages, natural disasters and cyberattacks. Now, to better address COVID-19-related data accessibility needs, Interbit Data will give its nearly 300 NetSafe customers across North America the added option of internet-based access to critical patient information. This additional capability maintains the same HIPAA compliance and makes it easier to ensure patient safety from remote and makeshift locations, which are now approved under CMS’ new COVID-19 regulations. Existing NetSafe customers who choose to take advantage of this feature may access it free of charge through June 30.

Customers are also deploying Interbit Data’s automated report distribution solution, NetDelivery, in innovative ways to manage the challenges associated with COVID-19. For example, some health systems send appointment cancellations and postponements through NetDelivery to all referring physicians in response to COVID-19 protocols, while others route incoming COVID-19 test results and restrict general access to that information through Interbit Data’s DesktopFax solution (which enables unlimited faxing across the enterprise from PC-based applications).

For now, these innovative capabilities are only available to hospitals and health systems that have already set up their critical information in Interbit Data’s secure servers. Interested organizations can email ayoung@interbitdata.com to learn more about Interbit Data’s rapid implementation that can quickly support their COVID-19 data accessibility needs.

John Wood, Encompass Group, LLC CEO

Encompass Group is honored to be the New York City Javits Center scrub supplier for Jockey.

MCDONOUGH, Ga. (PRWEB)
April 14, 2020

In connection with ongoing efforts to respond to the national emergency to combat COVID-19, Encompass Group, LLC today recognized its unique supplier role in current and ongoing Jockey International, Inc. (Jockey) benefactor activity around the nation. In particular, Encompass Group proudly acknowledged itself as the source of 10,000 scrub units being donated by Jockey to the healthcare staff at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City.

A dire and global shortage of proper personal protective equipment (PPE) has placed frontline healthcare workers in the U.S. on the COVID-19 line of fire. The burgeoning risk, mounting daily, has pressured product manufacturers, government regulators, hospital systems, and supply chains alike to formulate new strategies and tactics for devising and sourcing supplies of qualified, appropriate PPE.

Jockey is helping to meet vital PPE needs of frontline doctors and nurses in the nationwide COVID-19 fight. Jockey is committing to donate 250,000 isolation gowns to the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) PPE distribution efforts. The company also is donating localized lots of respiratory and surgical masks in Kenosha, Wis., the company’s hometown. And, Jockey will give the 10,000 units of scrubs to the hard-hit area of New York City.

A televised March 30, 2020 White House Coronavirus Task Force Press Briefing in the Rose Garden highlighted a variety of groundbreaking corporate citizenry efforts, including those by Jockey. President Donald J. Trump introduced Jockey Chairman & CEO Debra S. Waller, who, in addition to other frontline support activities, announced the Jockey New York Javits Center scrub donation.

Remarked John Wood, Encompass Group, LLC chief executive officer, “Encompass Group is honored to be the New York City Javits Center scrub supplier for Jockey. When we’re called to help, we do our best to respond and we’ve done that here. I extend my gratitude to President Trump, Vice President Pence, the Coronavirus Task Force, Jockey, and all of the corporations, including our own, banding together in service to our nation.”

Deanna Leonard, Encompass Group, LLC, vice president and general manager, professional healthcare apparel, added “The Jockey brand is synonymous with American pride, quality, and comfort. Encompass Group always is proud of our role in delivering apparel to professional staff. Knowing we’re able to help those dedicated to caring for COVID-19 patients on a daily basis elevates our mission to an entirely new level.”

“As a family-owned company headquartered in Wisconsin, we were eager to support the critical needs of those on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19,” said Mark Fedyk, president and chief operating officer, Jockey. “It is in our DNA to roll up our sleeves and help our country in times of need. We are pleased to provide critically needed PPE and scrubs for the health care workers on the front lines of this fight.”

Paul and Jeremy Garavel at Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital

What’s most remarkable to me is that not once have they ever asked for anything in return.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. (PRWEB)
April 14, 2020

Garavel Subaru has selflessly supported Michael “Mikey” Friedman’s vision of how to help kids cope with cancer for the last six years, never once asking for anything in return. Garavel Subaru’s Share The Love Events have raised more than $200,000 for Mikey’s Way Foundation since 2014.

Mikey’s story: At the age of 15, Michael “Mikey” Friedman was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer. After undergoing equally aggressive treatment he was offered a Make-A-Wish to go anywhere or buy anything. Rather than buy something for himself, Mikey selflessly chose to give away his wish to other young cancer patients, starting Mikey’s Way Foundation in 2005. The Foundation gives laptop computers, tablets, and other Wi-Fi ready electronics to kids undergoing long-term, debilitating treatment. The gifts provide a strong diversion and connection with the outside world to patients isolated by their treatment.

The Garavel connection: Jeremy Garavel attended the same high school as Mikey and witnessed first-hand Mikey’s determination to make a difference for kids in treatment like him. Many years later, when Garavel Subaru was looking for a hometown charity for their Share the Love Event, Mikey’s Way Foundation seemed the perfect fit.

One selfless act of giving inspires others: Ever since hearing Mikey’s story, Garavel Subaru employees from Sales to Service to Accounting and the front office have worked to share Mikey’s vision with their customers and the broader community. For the 2019 Share The Love Event, Subaru of America made a $250 donation for every new Subaru vehicle purchased or leased at Garavel Subaru in Norwalk. In addition, every time Mikey’s Way Foundation was chosen as the charity of choice, Garavel Subaru donated an additional amount to Mikey’s Way.

Over the years, Garavel Subaru’s support has translated into more than 1,000 brand new electronic gifts for pediatric cancer patients in treatment. With Garavel’s support, Mikey’s Way was also able to outfit each in-patient pediatric hematology/oncology room at Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital with an iPad for use during prolonged stays.

“It’s difficult to put into words just how special the Garavel Subaru team is and how they have positively impacted the lives of so many young cancer patients struggling through treatment. What’s most remarkable to me is that not once have they ever asked for anything in return,” reports Les Friedman, Mikey’s Way Foundation CEO and Mikey’s Dad. “Some corporate philanthropy programs want to know what’s in it for them. All Garavel Subaru has ever wanted is to make a difference in the lives of kids with cancer.”

“Mikey’s story is inspiring – it brings out the best in all of us and we are honored to be a part of it,” said Paul Garavel, owner of Garavel Subaru.

Mikey’s Way Foundation gives laptop computers, tablets, and other Wi-Fi ready electronics to kids affected by the emotional and physical hardships of long-term debilitating treatment. They distribute these electronic gifts via their Mikey’s Way Day and Mikey’s Wish List programs to children all over the country with an emphasis in Connecticut and New York. The gifts provide diversion and connection with family and friends, helping them to cope with cancer… Mikey’s Way.

Garavel Subaru is located at 10 Tindall Avenue in Norwalk, CT. Everyday Garavel Subaru holds true to their motto: “Selling cars is what we do. Helping the community is who we are.” For more information about Garavel Subaru visit http://www.garavelsubaru.com.

The Real-Time Prescription Benefit tool is going to be a game-changer for pharmacies. It will give pharmacists the data they need to make educated decisions to make sure their patients are receiving the medications and treatments that are right for them.

OAK BROOK, Ill. (PRWEB)
April 14, 2020

BestRx, a digital pharmacy management software company, is proud to announce they are the first pharmacy software system, in collaboration with a trusted partner, to offer Real-Time Prescription Benefit (RTPB) functionality for pharmacies. The RTPB tool enables accurate and complete, patient-specific benefit information from the point-of-prescribing to the point-of-dispensing; allowing for better informed provider and patient medication choices, awareness of lower-cost medication options for patients and potential to improve medication adherence.

The RTPB feature is automatically integrated into the pharmacy’s existing workflow. Now, without having to run test claims, pharmacists can find the most appropriate and cost-effective medication treatment options for patients based on their specific formulary and benefit coverage. In addition, the Real-Time Prescription Benefit tool allows pharmacists to identify details about: prior authorizations, lower-cost alternative medications and patient’s out-of-pocket costs. As a result, pharmacies can help reduce medication abandonment and increase better health outcomes for patients.

“The Real-Time Prescription Benefit tool is going to be a game-changer for pharmacies” says Hemal Desai, President of BestRx. “It will give pharmacists the data they need to make educated decisions to make sure their patients are receiving the medications and treatments that are right for them. I have personally seen the feature in action at one of our client pharmacies, and in one instance, the pharmacy was given information that allowed them to switch a patient from a 30-day to a 90-day supply, which will result in the patient saving over $800 per year in copays on that medication alone. The days of blindly sending test claims to find the right treatment are over, and Real-Time Prescription Benefit is the future.”

This feature has already been rolled out to all pharmacies using the BestRx Pharmacy Management System and will be offered free-of-charge until the end of 2020.
