With SOC 1 and 2 certification, our resellers and end users can rest assured that the proper controls and audit measures are in place to make certain their important records and content remain secure and available.

NEW HAVEN, CONN. (PRWEB)
March 26, 2020

Square 9® Softworks, developers of award-winning enterprise content management (ECM) and digital transformation solutions, is proud to announce that its GlobalSearch C2 Cloud platform has achieved Service Organization Control (SOC) 1 Type 2, SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA compliance certification.

The SOC 1 and 2 standards, developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), are a widely recognized attestation certifying that Square 9’s information security policies and procedures for handling data meet stringent principles for storage, security, availability and confidentiality.

“Square 9 is committed to providing industry leading, cloud enabled solutions for our GlobalSearch C2 customers. With SOC 1 and 2 certification, our resellers and end users can rest assured that the proper controls and audit measures are in place to make certain their important records and content remain secure and available” said Michael Frattini, Senior Vice President of Operations and Corporate Compliance Officer at Square 9.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act Security Rule of 2003, commonly referred to as HIPAA addresses the security of electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI). The addition of HIPAA certification extends Square 9’s commitment of security availability and confidentiality to those customers that store any ePHI within GlobalSearch C2. This enables Square 9 to execute Business Associate Agreements with all covered entities, giving them the peace of mind that their information will be handled and secured according to confidentiality standards.

“As more and more healthcare organizations move their records management strategy to the cloud, it is important that their service provider can guarantee their records will not be disclosed except where meaningful use applies. Achieving HIPAA certification assures our customers and resellers that they can rely on Square 9 to have the requisite physical and technical safeguards needed to ensure ePHI privacy and security,” explained Erin Keller, Director of Operations and Square 9’s HIPAA Compliance Officer.

The addition of SOC and HIPAA certifications add to a growing list of recent accolades the Square 9 product suite has achieved.

A Ridgewood Police Officer picking up hand sanitizer from John Herr, RPh., Pharmacist & Owner of Town & Country Compounding Pharmacy in Ridgewood, New Jersey.

“We cannot make hand sanitizer fast enough. We also depend on suppliers for ingredients that are running low to supply everyone, but thought the first responders in Ridgewood needed our first batch,” expressed John Herr, RPh., Town & Country pharmacist and owner.

RIDGEWOOD, N.J. (PRWEB)
March 26, 2020

With COVID-19 affecting communities in the country and worldwide, sanitation has become a priority. The world is reacting to the pandemic, where certain supplies are limited as demand skyrockets. That’s why Town & Country Compounding Pharmacy is joining a movement to donate hand sanitizer to first responders as a way of keeping them safe from becoming infected.

Town & Country has donated pharmaceutical-grade, alcohol-based sanitizers to first responders and are making these sanitizers while the pharmacy is closed to the public over the weekends, on their personal time. Even with the pharmacy’s busy schedule, they’re taking the time to make these sanitizers to help authorities and first responders. These sanitizers comply with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) guidelines. Most recently, Town & Country donated sanitizers to The Ridgewood Police Department.

The high demand for medication during this health crisis, is urging pharmacies to keep up during the current health crisis. John Herr, RPh., Town & Country pharmacist and owner states, “our supply chain has been affected and our workload has increased while having staffing shortages. Our commitment to service remains high and we ask for continued understanding from our patients while we try to process prescriptions as fast as we can. Unfortunately, shipping and delivery time may sometimes be delayed due to other services also being affected by the pandemic.”

Town & Country hopes the hand sanitizers provided to first responders will help relieve the stress of the current shortage. “We realize the risk that everyone on the front line faces and we wanted to support our local community. We cannot make hand sanitizer fast enough. We also depend on suppliers for ingredients that are running low to supply everyone, but thought the first responders in Ridgewood needed our first batch,” expressed Herr. As they are sacrificing exposure through their duties, first responders must take every precaution to protect themselves. Washing hands and utilizing hand sanitizer can help to flatten the curve of COVID-19.

Town & Country’s priority in these trying times is to help prevent the spread and treat COVID-19, while still serving the pre-existing health needs of our community. As the nation takes on this pandemic day-by-day, Town & Country will also try to make hand sanitizer available for current customers to purchase when they pick up their prescriptions or supplements, depending on availability of time and supplies.

About Town & Country Compounding:

Town & Country Compounding works with providers and specialists to formulate the most customized medication regimens to fit specific needs. Vitamins and supplements for boosting the immune system are also available for purchase to stay healthy. Shipping to 12 states and Washington D.C. Visit TCCompound.com for more information. If you are in need of medications, supplements, or prescriber referrals please call (201) 447-2020.

As the COVID-19 pandemic escalates around the world and threatens to impact lives indefinitely, Rodrigo L. Romulo, M.D., and international infectious disease consultant, and Global Health Olympics™ inventor Sharon Kleyne teach global health education on Kleyne talk radio.

“This threat is unprecedented,” says Kleyne, “and we must be quick and thorough in our response.” Kleyne advises rigorous washing of the face in the morning and at night to remove harmful toxins. She also reminds everyone to wash hands several times a day and make use of disinfectant wipes, especially for surfaces that see high use such as doorknobs, phones and counter spaces.

Romulo agrees, adding that “Priority number one should be breaking the chain of transmission of the Coronavirus. Coronavirus is quite the dangerous virus,” Romulo continues. “It is transmitted as a respiratory droplet expelled from people who have symptoms like coughing & sneezing. The droplets land on surfaces and then can infect others when they touch those surfaces.”

As the health crisis escalates, people are practicing self-isolation and sheltering-in-place, and in many locations these practices are now mandatory. China, Italy, Great Britain and India are now locked down, as are the most populous states in the U.S.

Kleyne asks about the impact of pneumonia, which can be one result of contracting COVID-19. “What about people dying of pneumonia?” Kleyne asks.

“Death by pneumonia,” says Romulo, “is usually the result of a complication of serious illness. It is not a natural consequence.” The current virus crisis, Romulo says, encourages us “to have a heightened sense of personal hygiene practices like hand washing.”

Kleyne, an internationally respected body water evaporation and Water Life Science® researcher, also counsels people to take care of their dry eyes during the pandemic and after by supplementing them with Nature’s Tears® EyeMist®, the Dry Eye Solution® that is 100 percent pure Trade Secret tissue culture grade water containing no chemicals and no additives.

“Hydration should always be emphasized just as you say,” adds Romulo.

Global Health Olympics™ educator Kleyne teaches that every organ of the body requires daily supplementation with 100 percent pure water. Drinking enough water every day flushes toxins out of the body.

“This designation recognizes Dr. Sherman Chan as a UroLift Center of Excellence for his commitment to providing safe and effective treatment to patients with BPH,” said Dave Amerson

PLEASANTON, Calif. (PRWEB)
March 26, 2020

NeoTract, a wholly owned subsidiary of Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX) focused on addressing unmet needs in the field of urology, today announced that Sherman Chan, M.D., Progressive Urology in Manhasset, NY has been designated as a UroLift® Center of Excellence. The designation recognizes that Dr. Chan 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.

“This designation recognizes Dr. Sherman Chan as a UroLift Center of Excellence for his commitment to providing safe and effective treatment to patients with BPH,” said Dave Amerson, president of the Teleflex Interventional Urology business unit. “We are pleased to see the continued acceptance of the UroLift System as a standard of care treatment that may allow men to discontinue the use of BPH medications and improve their quality of life.”

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.
