The goal of the Virtual Maternity Care Playbook is to share what Babyscripts’ clinical partners are doing in response to the need for social distancing and reduced in-person interaction, to help other practices safely transition care out of the clinic.

WASHINGTON (PRWEB)
April 08, 2020

As providers are increasingly turning to virtual care solutions to monitor their patients amid the COVID-19 outbreak, Babyscripts, the leading virtual care platform for obstetrics, is providing OB-GYNs with a Virtual Maternity Care Playbook that offers in-depth tips on best practices, guidance on implementation, and important resources for OB-GYNs transitioning to virtual care during the pandemic and beyond. The resource is available by request here.

The goal of the Virtual Maternity Care Playbook is to share what Babyscripts’ clinical partners are doing in response to the need for social distancing and reduced in-person interaction, to help other practices safely transition care out of the clinic. This playbook has been reviewed by members of the Babyscripts medical advisory committee of OB-GYNs and healthcare leaders.

Drawing on six years of experience in the space and the experience of providers on the frontlines of health technology adoption, Babyscripts’ Virtual Maternity Care Playbook is a best practice guide for how to stand up virtual care solutions in a condensed time frame, as well as direction on how practices should be thinking about this important transition to virtual care, including the following:

• 
  Alternate 4 and 5 visit schedule templates that Babyscripts customers have adopted in their practices with detailed recommendations.
• Reimbursement guidance for implementing virtual solutions.
• Recommendations for patient education and data point collection in between in-person visits, to support patients and better identify moments of risk.
• Best practices for virtual care for high risk patients, including those at heightened risk for diabetes and blood pressure related complications.
• Recommendations for implementing telemedicine, video visits.

Babyscripts recently announced that they are working with OB-GYN practices nationwide to implement dramatically revised in-person office visits from the standard 12-14 down to 4-6, keeping expecting moms out of the clinic through the use of remote monitoring solutions and digital tools. The Virtual Maternity Care Playbook offers guidance for OB-GYN practices looking to make similar transitions.

The Organic Alcohol Company team making hand sanitizer

When we learned of the situation, our team developed a sanitizing spray to offer as donations in our community and we began implementing a plan to go into full-scale production of a hand sanitizer spray in accordance with WHO formulation guidelines and in compliance with TTB and FDA requirements.

ASHLAND, Ore. (PRWEB)
April 08, 2020

The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) has put in place provisions to relieve certain requirements to allow permitted distilled spirits businesses to fast-track the approved production of hand sanitizers in direct response to the Novel Coronavirus – COVID 19. Permitted Distilled Spirit Plants, DSP’s, who manufacture hand sanitizer in strict accordance with the formula manufacturing guidance issued by the World Health Organization (WHO) will also receive temporary exemptions to specific Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations for the production of Hand Sanitizers.

Many hand sanitizers on the market are not what they seem, and with increased sanitary health concerns prompted by the current state of emergency necessitated by the COVID-19 virus, this shortage has not gone unnoticed.

The FDA has issued warnings to several companies that are not in compliance with the Center for Disease Control (CDC) requirements. The CDC requires that the alcohol content in hand sanitizers must be at least 60% to adequately prevent bacterial growth. Additionally, widespread demand and price gouging has made it difficult for many to purchase hand sanitizer.

In response to the demand for hand sanitizer and for the health and safety of our local community, Organic Alcohol Company of Ashland, Oregon has committed to donating hand sanitizers to local first responders and the most vulnerable citizens.

Aaren Glover, CEO and Founder of The Organic Alcohol Company explains, “ When I first learned of the ineffective products on the market, the shortage of hand sanitizer due to demand and hoarding, along with price gouging, our leadership team met and went to work finding solutions. We immediately began producing some test batches of simple yet effective sanitizing spray to offer as donations in our community and began implementing a plan to go into full-scale production of a Hand Sanitizer spray in accordance with WHO formulation guidelines and in compliance with TTB and FDA requirements. We’ve committed to donating to the Ashland Police Department, Ashland Fire department and Ashland Food Bank, Meals on Wheels, American Red Cross, Mercy Flights and Ashley Senior Housing. We intend to donate to many other high-risk and high exposure individuals, institutions and organizations on an on-going basis during this crisis. In addition, we will have this product available for purchase in our community and the larger market in the very near future.”

There has been some concern circulating about the safety and effectiveness of homemade hand sanitizers. If formula guidelines by the CDC and WHO are followed, there is no need for concern as to the effectiveness of a homemade sanitizer.

Until the OAC hand-sanitizer line is available to the general public, DIY recipes are posted on the OAC website and feature the correct ratio of ingredients so people can make their own.

Effective immediately, and due in large part to the efforts of Oregon Senator Ron Wyden, The Organic Alcohol Company is able to sell our high proof spirits to anyone making Hand Sanitizers in accordance with the WHO formula guidelines free of Federal Excise Tax.

About: The Organic Alcohol Company (OAC), located in Ashland, Oregon, is the first organic distillery in Oregon and among the first organic distilleries in the US. Founded in 2001, OAC specializes in producing and supplying the highest quality and most premium organic alcohol products available. The Organic Alcohol Company was founded on principles of sustainability and has been proudly serving botanical extractors, medicine makers and craft manufacturers for two decades.

Aertos 120-UVC during a test flight

“Using UVC energy to disinfect isn’t new, but our delivery method is. The method matters, because it helps to keep people safe amid a pandemic.”

LENEXA, Kan. (PRWEB)
April 08, 2020

Digital Aerolus – a global leader in autonomous technology for any vehicle that flies, drives, dives or swims – has developed the first indoor drone with germicidal C-band ultraviolet (UVC) emitters at 265nm, creating a remote and mobile disinfection method for essential businesses.

The Aertos 120-UVC combines industrial drone technology with powerful UVC emitters, allowing essential businesses to rapidly deploy disinfection tactics remotely, without putting humans at risk.

Digital Aerolus’ industrial drones do not require GPS or external sensors to fly indoors, enabling drones to operate stably in places other drones cannot go, including small and confined spaces.

The company pivoted over the past few weeks to launch a new drone with UVC LED emitters, as a tool to mitigate the spread of pathogens for people working at essential businesses. The Aertos 120-UVC can be used for disinfection in critical places, including:

• 
  Healthcare facilities – patient rooms, hospital rooms, and waiting areas
• Grocery stores – checkout spaces
• Airplanes and Public Transit – seats and exposed surfaces
• Business common areas – restrooms, workrooms, breakroom surface areas
• Warehouses and product areas – work surfaces, product handling and storing areas

UVC disinfection is well-understood and has been used for decades to keep pathogens out of our drinking water and off surfaces. But generally, UVC sources are large, cost-prohibitive or impractical to deploy. UVC energy cannot be directly used around humans, given that these same killing attributes of this energy also damage human DNA. The new Aertos 120-UVC from Digital Aerolus allows more organizations to deploy UVC disinfecting tactics quickly.

Digital Aerolus is co-founded by Jeff Alholm, a leader in the development of the first smartphone, the Newton-based Seahorse; millimeter-wave imaging technology; the 802.11 Wi-Fi standard; the pulse oximeter; and the capnograph.

“As this global crisis has unfolded, we’ve been committed to developing an innovative and accessible solution to wage war against COVID-19 and mitigate the risk to humans worldwide,” said Alholm.

“Like many others, we are innovating to combat this horrible virus, and we’re focused on how we can use our unique technology to deliver pathogen-killing energy in challenging environments. Using UVC energy to disinfect isn’t new, but our delivery method is. The method matters, because it helps to keep people safe amid a pandemic.”

The Aertos 120-UVC will be available in volume in May through Digital Aerolus partners and resellers including CDW.. Learn more about the Aertos 120-UVC disinfection drone on the Digital Aerolus website.
