MD Revolution, Inc. announces RevUp Now, a rapid Remote Care Management rollout program as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic


MD Revolution Logo

Having the benefit of care managers with MD Revolution has allowed us to communicate with our patients quickly. We are connected to our patients and are prepared for a time when our patients can start coming back into the office. – Ashley Ludwick, Practice Manager at Wheeling Hospital in WV

MD Revolution, Inc., a provider of comprehensive Medicare Care Management services and patient engagement technologies, announced it is immediately launching “RevUp Now,” a streamlined implementation of its flagship RevUp Care Management services in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

MD Revolution reports that it is redoubling its commitment to improving patient outcomes through a combination of telehealth and remote care during this difficult period, and is providing its RevUp Now program to any practice on an accelerated basis. MD Revolution has the experience and bandwidth to onboard anywhere from hundreds to thousands of patients in a matter of days, not weeks or months.

RevUp Now Provides Care Management Fast

RevUp Now is a rapid rollout of its full care management platform, with the specific intent of helping medical practices maintain financial viability and connection with patients during this national shutdown. RevUp Now includes all core features of the RevUp platform, including Chronic Care Management, Remote Patient Monitoring, Annual Wellness Visits, COVID-19 screening, and more.

In particular, RevUp Now includes:

  • Rapid service deployment and patient enrollment, focused on quickly starting service for patients in under 7 days
  • Remote training for medical practices and clinics
  • Customized care coordination and escalation protocols to support practice operations
  • On-demand remote clinical resources to deliver care on the clinic’s behalf
  • A system for helping patients prepare for tele-health visits with their doctor, to make those initial visits as productive as possible
  • Timely COVID-19 and related health education for patients
  • Frequent virtual contact to keep patients engaged, and identify issues resulting from isolation and social distancing

RevUp Provides Coverage During Practice Closures

The RevUp care management platform fills the gap for physicians and clinics who have been forced to change the way they physically see their patients during this time. While practices across the country re-tool and regroup, finding the path forward for appointment-based telemedicine, our team of remote clinicians is able to stay in contact with their patients, providing a care plan, frequent tele-contact, maintain virtual interaction, all using the RevUp care management platform.

“Having the benefit of care managers with MDR has allowed us to communicate with our patients quickly. We are connected to our patients and are prepared for a time when our patients can start coming back into the office,” according to Ashley Ludwick, Practice Manager at Wheeling Hospital in West Virginia.

MD Revolution’s Response to COVID-19

“MD Revolution is doing its part during this pandemic. We have quickly added a COVID-19 screening assessment to our software to be available to the 30,000 patients under our care. Our clinical care team fields hundreds of requests from patients about symptoms, and we are the first line of defense for our patients while medical clinics are unavailable,” said Nick Metzger, RN, Clinical Director. “In addition, to ensure uninterrupted service to our clients, our multiple call centers are now 100% remote, to serve our patients while protecting the wellbeing of our team.”

To sign up for RevUp Now, contact Paul Huffman at (858) 847-5064, email now@mdrevolution.com, or visit our website at mdrevolution.com.

About MD Revolution, Inc.

MD Revolution is an innovative Care Management company that uniquely combines technology, services, and analytics to produce scalable, high-touch care models that enrich the patient-provider experience and, more specifically, mitigate the challenges associated with meeting the requirements for Medicare’s Chronic Care Management (CCM) initiative, Behavioral Health Integration (BHI), population health programs, Annual Wellness Visits (AWV), as well as supporting Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and other digital health services. Solutions are available as full service turn-key solutions, software-as-a-service, and through reseller partners.

NeoTract Designates Dr. Frank Simoncini as UroLift® Center of Excellence


News Image

“We are pleased to recognize Dr. Frank Simoncini as a UroLift Center of Excellence for his commitment to providing consistent care to BPH patients using the UroLift System treatment,” said Dave Amerson

NeoTract, a wholly owned subsidiary of Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX) focused on addressing unmet needs in the field of urology, today announced that Frank Simoncini, D.O., Southeast Valley Urology in Gilbert, AZ, has been designated as a UroLift® Center of Excellence. The designation recognizes that Dr. Simoncini has achieved a high level of training and experience with the UroLift® System and demonstrated a commitment to exemplary care for men suffering from symptoms associated with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as enlarged prostate.

Recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines, the FDA-cleared Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH. The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue.

The UroLift Center of Excellence program is designed to highlight urologists who are committed to educating their patients on BPH and the UroLift System as a treatment option and consistently seek to deliver excellent patient outcomes and experiences.

“We are pleased to recognize Dr. Frank Simoncini as a UroLift Center of Excellence for his commitment to providing consistent care to BPH patients using the UroLift System treatment,” said Dave Amerson, president of the Teleflex Interventional Urology business unit. “This achievement has helped many patients experience durable, longterm relief from the burdensome symptoms of BPH while preserving sexual function*1,2.”

Over 40 million men in the United States are affected by BPH, a condition that occurs when the prostate gland that surrounds the male urethra becomes enlarged with advancing age and begins to obstruct the urinary system. Symptoms of BPH often include interrupted sleep and urinary problems and can cause loss of productivity, depression and decreased quality of life.

Medication is often the first-line therapy for enlarged prostate, but relief can be inadequate and temporary. Side effects of medication treatment can include sexual dysfunction, dizziness and headaches, prompting many patients to quit using the drugs. For these patients, the classic alternative is surgery that cuts, heats or removes prostate tissue to open the blocked urethra. While current surgical options can be very effective in relieving symptoms, they can also leave patients with permanent side effects such as urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and retrograde ejaculation.

About the UroLift® System

The FDA-cleared UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a minimally invasive transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue. Clinical data from a pivotal 206-patient randomized controlled study showed that patients with enlarged prostate receiving UroLift implants reported rapid and durable symptomatic and urinary flow rate improvement without compromising sexual function*1,2. Patients also experienced a significant improvement in quality of life. Over 100,000 men have been treated with the UroLift System in the U.S. Most common adverse events reported include hematuria, dysuria, micturition urgency, pelvic pain, and urge incontinence. Most symptoms were mild to moderate in severity and resolved within two to four weeks after the procedure. The Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines. The UroLift System is available in the

U.S., Europe, Australia, Canada, Mexico and South Korea. Learn more at http://www.UroLift.com.

Etna Interactive Offers Help for Medical Practices Facing an Unsteady Economy


News Image

Etna Interactive, a medical marketing company that helped guide elective medical practices through the Great Recession 12 years ago, has developed a white paper aimed at helping elective healthcare professionals survive the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. Titled “Is Your Practice Recession Ready? 12 Online Marketing Tactics to Help Elective Medical Practices Weather an Unsteady Economy,” the paper offers detailed advice to help providers claim their share of a shrinking market.

“This is familiar territory for us,” says Ryan Miller, Etna Interactive’s chief executive officer. “We have served the digital marketing needs of elective medical practices for almost 20 years and through several economic downturns, including the Great Recession of 2007-2009.”

Miller says the tactics included in the white paper can give practices facing operational disruption a way to make smart marketing investments that can “transform this moment of uncertainty into one of opportunity.”

Etna Interactive is an industry leader and is recognized as one of the most trusted online medical marketing companies. Having served hundreds of clinics throughout North America, Etna is an award-winning firm known for its focus on strategy, innovative service lines, and exceptional client care.

The white paper is not the only step Miller and Etna Interactive have taken to help their clients and other elective medical practices navigate the uncertainty posed by the COVID-19 crisis. The Etna blog also includes a short video to assist practices in implementing a virtual appointment process—a potential boon to elective healthcare providers as they comply with shelter-in-place edicts issued by governors nationwide.

Among the strategies included in the white paper are ways to strengthen search engine optimization, enhance online reputation, and thoughtfully target specific markets.

With the elective healthcare market likely to shrink, thoughtful strategy and planning is more important than ever for providers to sustain their practices. The tactics included in the white paper are designed to help elective medical practices not only do that, but also to emerge from a potential recession better prepared to seize new growth opportunities.

Clinics leaders can download the free white paper at https://www.etnainteractive.com/recession-readiness/.

Founded in 2002 and based in San Luis Obispo, California, Etna Interactive (http://www.etnainteractive.com) is a full-service healthcare marketing agency. The company offers medical website design, SEO, PPC & paid search, social media marketing, email marketing, strategic consulting, content strategy, and reputation management services to hundreds of the world’s most prominent names in the elective healthcare field.

Adult ADHD And Empowering Those With The Condition Featured On “Behind The Scenes” With Laurence Fishburne


News Image

The segment will feature medical professionals within the space as well as those who are becoming difference-makers in society.

Award-winning American actor Laurence Fishburne (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence_Fishburne) is the host of the informative show “Behind The Scenes”. The TV program covers a wide array of topics of educating its viewing audience about issues impacting people across the globe. A new episode will feature adult ADHD and how to empower and support those affected by the condition.

Of all of the adults living in the U.S., an estimated 4.4% has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD symptoms may include absent-mindedness, forgetfulness, short attention span, anxiety, boredom, mood swings, depression, hyperactivity, and lack of restraint. While ADHD can feel frustrating and cumbersome for those suffering, it does not have to be. Understanding the symptoms and treatment options available can help one take control of their disorder.

Adult ADHD can improve with medications and non-prescription alternatives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the top options for medication treatment. CBT is a type of therapy that can aid those struggling with ADHD to manage their thoughts healthily. People who have ADHD can benefit from a good night’s sleep, as well, since inadequate sleep can worsen ADHD symptoms. There are prescription options for ADHD treatment, too. The most commonly prescribed drugs to treat ADHD are stimulants, non-stimulants, and antidepressants.

“Behind The Scenes” will further delve into empowering adults dealing with the disorder on an episode airing soon. The segment will feature medical professionals within the space as well as those who are becoming difference-makers in society.

“Behind The Scenes” with Laurence Fishburne is a high-quality television program. The education show has received a multitude of awards for its achievements in TV.
