ER will continue to provide resources and make updates to the system in response to the needs of emergency services during the pandemic, and support its customers in any way it can.

BELLINGHAM, Wash. (PRWEB)
April 09, 2020

Emergency Reporting® (ER), the global leader in secure, cloud-based reporting and records management software (RMS) for fire and EMS agencies, recently released new features and resources in response to the COVID-19 coronavirus crisis.

“All of us at Emergency Reporting recognize the responsibility we have to support our large customer base of first responders, who are on the front line of this health emergency in many communities across the country and across the globe,” said David Nokes, CEO of Emergency Reporting. “This global pandemic has brought to light the immediate need for the ability to properly document how many emergency response calls involve COVID-19 concerns. Based on the urgent need for these enhancements, our development team has implemented improvements to accommodate the changing circumstances and documentation needs.”

In response to the United States Fire Administration (USFA) / National Fire Data Center (NFDC) NFIRS National COVID-19 special study (which documents fire department responses to the COVID-19 pandemic), Emergency Reporting has implemented some key components in its system to enable users to participate. ER is supporting the endeavor by adding a COVID-19 “Special Studies” field in its incident report questionnaire and updating its NFIRS export to include this special study data. Making these updates ensures customers can easily capture and report this critical data to the USFA/NFDC. ER is also the only records management system (RMS) that has the COVID-19 special study available in a FedRAMP compliant, high-security Azure Government hosting environment with ER Ultra Secure. Read about it in this blog post.

“Our development team worked tirelessly to quickly implement these updates and enable participation in the special study,” said Sue Cenusa, Senior Director of Product Management at Emergency Reporting “In just 10 days after updating the incident report, 75,000 incidents have utilized the new COVID-19 documentation capability within the ER solution. In the days ahead, our team will continue to prioritize adding more functionality to assist our agencies in accessing and leveraging this information as needed.”

In addition to the COVID-19 Special Study field and updated NFIRS export, ER has released several articles on its blog with information to help first responders. One post provides ER customers with tools to accurately track and analyze COVID-19 data. It discusses ways that users can input data into the ER system so that it can be extracted for actionable intel. Read about it on the ER blog here, or download the PDF white paper version here.

Another recent blog post explains how to use ER’s Inventory module to track consumable EMS supplies during the COVID-19 pandemic for FEMA reimbursement. It offers step-by-step instructions, from creating inventory categories to building & managing your inventory list and extracting the data. Read the post here.

As for Emergency Reporting’s operations during the COVID-19 pandemic, Nokes says that despite all employees working 100% remotely, it’s business as usual. “The company continues to function at full capacity, including its customer support team, which is available to assist customers via chat, email, and phone,” he said. “ER will continue to provide resources and make updates to the system in response to the needs of emergency services during the pandemic, and support its customers in any way it can.”

“During this unprecedented and uncertain time, we want our customers to know that they have our support and our unwavering commitment to continue to deliver the most trusted, reliable records management platform on the market,” Nokes said.

“In Depth” will further explore how to improve outcomes for knee replacement surgeries on the soon-to-be-aired episode.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (PRWEB)
April 09, 2020

Multi-award-winning actor Laurence Fishburne is the host of the educational TV program “In Depth.” The show interviews industry professionals about a large variety of subjects that have an impact on individuals around the globe. A new episode coming to the TV program will delve into the medical field. The episode will feature medical professionals discussing how to improve patient outcomes for knee replacement surgeries.

Knee pain is a common condition and can increase with age. One-third of all Americans experience knee pain at some point in their lives. Often knee pain can result from too much weight on the knee or using an improper technique during physical activity.

Knee replacement surgery may be an inevitable step for individuals experiencing knee pain that limits daily activities, severe or moderate knee pain when resting, or knee swelling and inflammation that does not improve with medications or rest. The majority of total knee replacement surgeries can be successful. However, when recovering from knee replacement surgery, it is crucial to exercise the knee often to reduce swelling and to strengthen the muscles. Otherwise, the outcome of the surgery may not be as positive as it can be.

“In Depth” will further explore how to improve outcomes for knee replacement surgeries on the soon-to-be-aired episode.

The informative show “In Depth” with host Laurence Fishburne is carefully given inspection before broadcast. The TV program has received a variety of awards.

Sharon Kleyne, Founder of Biol Logic Aqua® Research

GRANTS PASS, Ore. (PRWEB)
April 08, 2020

Air Date: 6 April 2020

Guest: Kevin Kearns, founder/CEO of Burn with Kearns and Kids Growing Up Strong; All-star Conference Presenter for IDEA, the world’s largest association for fitness and wellness professionals.

During the virus pandemic, Bio Logic Aqua® Research Water Life Science® will be providing regular updates at http://www.sharonkleynehour.com/Coronavirus.php 

*

Sharon Kleyne personally offers prayers for all first responders, scientists, researchers, medical personnel and sanitation engineers and encourages the world population to put out their country’s flags to demonstrate support and unity.

*

For over twenty-five years, international coach and fitness instructor Kevin Kearns has inspired thousands of kids and adults to improve their health. Sharon Kleyne, founder of Bio Logic Aqua® Research Water Life Science® is the founder of the Global Health Olympics™ and host of the internationally syndicated The Power of Water® & Your Health sponsored by Nature’s Tears® EyeMist® on VoiceAmerica, believes with Kearns that now more than ever people need to find ways to keep moving at home.

“Through on-line yoga, Qigong and other martial arts,” says Kleyne, “they also need to learn to breathe properly and drink lots of water—at least 8-10 glasses a day.” Kearns echoes that, saying he encourages his clients to consume a gallon-and-a-half of pure water every day.

As the COVID-19 pandemic rages, Kleyne reminds everyone about water education. “We’ve got a lot to learn,” says Kleyne. “We must be patient with doctors and physicians as they figure this out. You think you’re in charge. Your body’s organism is in charge from birth. You’re not. It’s the water first, then comes breathing. Then comes the training. Now, we are going through some learning. I call that the Global Health Olympics™.” Kleyne’s Global Health Olympics™ lifestyle is designed to inspire kids and adults to become just like quarterback Tom Brady. Kleyne, who has evaluated Tom Brady, teaches that Brady does everything with fascinating rhythm and scientifically. That’s the training she advises the world to follow. “Stop, think, follow,” says Kleyne. “Don’t be impulsive or emotional. Time was invented for eternity with water,” says Kleyne.

“If you wash your hands properly,” adds Kleyne, you are learning in the Global Health Olympics™. In this germ warfare, we are all soldiers to save lives,” says Kleyne. Here is an educational video about handwashing: https://www.housebeautiful.com/lifestyle/a31903011/black-paint-white-gloves-viral-video-shows-hand-washing-technique/

Kearns, whose father died at twelve and whose uncle introduced him to the martial arts, transformed himself from a small weakling to a strong, fit athlete. “I kept training,” he says, “because I love the community, respect and commitment. The founder of Burn with Kearns and Kids Growing Up Strong, Kearns created program of mixed martial arts training for the military, the NFL, college hockey and many others. He has trained and certified more than 2,500 instructors around the globe.

During the COVID-19 challenge, Kearns relates how he has four major concerns. “I am worried about people eating too much at home, I’m worried about alcohol abuse, drug abuse and suicide,” says a concerned Kearns.

Kleyne worries, too, noting that stress and anxiety continue to build the longer the crisis lasts. That’s why we all need to join in with the social awareness that is best for all health in life and join in on the Global Health Olympics™ training.

Our Virtual Nurse and Patient Support platform uses a multichannel approach that allows a quick and seamless pivot from in-person delivery to virtual, personalized support.

STERLING, Va. (PRWEB)
April 08, 2020

The fact is now unavoidable: The Coronavirus is an equal-opportunity pandemic that dispassionately infects – and kills. The immunocompromised are at greatest risk, but in a cruel twist, efforts to flatten the curve, such as social distancing, are also endangering their lives.

Patients receiving complex medications and treatments face closed doctors’ offices, delayed treatment, and a lack of education and support – not to mention concerns about what happens if they are diagnosed with COVID-19.

Keeping these vulnerable patients secure during an effective shutdown is a moral imperative that Occam Health Services addresses with a cloud-based, telehealth connection between the patient, provider, caregiver and supplier.

Our Virtual Nurse and Patient Support platform uses a multichannel approach that allows a quick and seamless pivot from in-person delivery to virtual, personalized support. Nothing is sacrificed in the conversion. The patient remains at the center of a telehealth experience that is live, compassionate and in real time.

A nationwide virtual nurse team provides patients with immediate high-touch contact during every aspect of their treatment – from staying on schedule with their medication to training on self-administration – while their physician and office staff continue providing critical prescription oversight and care support.

We are committed to helping patients feel confident in an unsettled time with a full range of support services that ensure the delivery and continuity of their medications at every stage, from provider to distributor. Our support services include a call center for questions, delivery and reimbursement assistance, financial services and affordability guidance, and so much more.

For the manufacturer, we provide a robust communication platform with a broad range of services: valuable mechanisms for providing feedback, prescriber outreach to review product features, and syncing your sales and product teams with real-time field data integration and analytics, including integration with Veeva and Salesforce.

With Occam Health Services Virtual Nurse and Patient Support, the patient’s treatment journey can be maintained in these uncertain times. Every day, at every step, patient needs are addressed by a passionate team in ways that are empathetic, life validating and compliant.

Occam Health Services – at the intersection of healthcare and humanity.

With the outbreak preventing in-person events, we have found no platform better equipped than OneClick.chat to support and maintain social connectedness among our members.

PHILADELPHIA (PRWEB)
April 08, 2020

OneClick.chat, an innovative video chat platform, known for its ease of use and accessibility, announced today that it is offering free use of its tools until June 1 for organizations that provide services to older adults. The platform supports the current demand for these organizations to facilitate communication without face-to-face interaction. OneClick.chat uses the latest web-based video chat technology, which means that no downloads or logins are ever required to participate. It works well for small meetings between family and friends, as well as large events for organizations to offer social engagement opportunities, disseminate information, and host workshops.

During this crisis, many organizations who provide support to older adults already find OneClick.chat’s platform invaluable. Alex Glazebrook, Director of Operations at Older Adult Technology Services (OATS), has led efforts to bring their programming online. “For the last several months, we have successfully hosted several events on OneClick.chat, where the older adults we serve were able to easily participate on video chat from their homes. With the outbreak preventing in-person events, we have found no platform better equipped than OneClick.chat to support and maintain social connectedness among our members.”

OneClick.chat’s design is the result of rigorous testing, funded through a highly competitive National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant award. The related studies have proven its usability to enhance social connections and engagement among older adults. 

As Laurie Orlov, Founder of Aging and Health Technology Watch, noted, “It is important work because social isolation is common in older adults and has profound effects on health outcomes, including early mortality and possibly the onset of dementia.”

Connecting in Times of Social Distancing

During this extraordinary period of confinement and isolation, adults of any age can effortlessly engage over video chat with family, friends, and colleagues. All it takes is One Click. Organizations like Senior Living Facilities and Home Care Providers can start the simple process of signing up by visiting: OneClick.chat/Covid-19.

OneClick.chat was designed by a cross-generational team based in Philadelphia. Visit https://oneclick.chat to learn more.
