“With NoTouch Center 4.3, ‘Velma Lakes’, we bring many improvements drawing from our multi-platform experience while fulfilling numerous customer feature requests,” says Stratodesk CEO and Founder, Emanuel Pirker. “Take the new update/OS image selection, for example. It has never been easier to update a diverse fleet of endpoints. Thanks to fantastic collaboration with major VDI providers, we are always on the cutting edge with the latest VDI Clients.

Today, Stratodesk software has sent endpoint management into turbospeed, unlocking unlimited and unequaled time and cost savings to enterprises and businesses of all sizes, all around the world.”

New Features Overcome Previously Unsolved Enterprise IT Challenges

While the new update/OS image selection mechanism streamlines endpoint management processes by enabling unprecedented management for x86 and Raspberry Pi devices in the same network at the speed of a single click, system administrators and IT managers around the world will be dazzled by cutting edge and intuitive new user role management capabilities. These capabilities streamline user role management, enabling enterprises to seamlessly configure permissions across their entire organization with unprecedented ease.

The new licenses limitation features also solves major system administration challenges by initiating unparalleled administration over the type of licenses and number allowed at any level.

Velma Lakes includes Stratodesk Cloud Xtension as well, extending NoTouch Center management through a standard internet connection to endpoints, wherever they are.

Today’s businesses are as complex and unique as the individuals that work for them, meaning that endpoint management must be so fast, adaptable and forward thinking that it can anticipate these challenges, and be used to effectively solve them sometimes before organizations have even realized that the challenge exists.

Workers today require specific devices across the spectrum of hardware, making the need for a hardware agnostic solution more paramount than ever. They expect to get their work done from home, on the go, or in the office from one, two or even more devices. Stratodesk software covers this vast and complex spectrum of use cases and hardware more profoundly than ever thanks to Velma Lakes, enabling the best-in-class endpoint management interface for administrators and workers/end-users alike.

Millennials Prefer Healthy and Convenient Snacks

Leave a comment


Millennials on the go


SALT LAKE CITY (PRWEB)

According to a new report by Mondelēz International, consumers’ dietary preferences are changing throughout the world. The first-ever State of Snacking report, developed in partnership with consumer polling specialist The Harris Poll, found people want smaller bites throughout the day, healthy choices and quality ingredients. And Millennials prefer this more than any other group.

Seventy percent of Millennials surveyed said they prefer snacking throughout the day, as opposed to eating larger meals.

But a penchant for eating on the go is far from the only thing to glean from the report. For 87% of those polled, convenience was a top factor impacting snack choice. And 80% of consumers reported that they look for healthy, balanced bites. It appears consumers want both convenient AND healthy snacks.

Eating healthy, quality snacks throughout the day can be beneficial to health. According to culinary nutritionist Jackie Newgent, “Snacks can actually help fill in nutrient gaps and lead to a healthier overall eating plan.”

A healthy vending machine can provide the sought-after, convenient access to wholesome, quality snacks and drinks. Healthy snacking can help prevent hunger and the inevitable (and associated) overeating at mealtime.

“Empowering people to eat healthy by providing convenient access to wholesome, delicious and quality snacks, drinks and entrées is what we have always done,” said Healthy YOU Vending’s Director of Operator Services Jill Navidomskis. “In today’s busy world, taking the time to indulge in a sit-down, healthy meal can seem out of reach for a lot of people. So, we’re happy to provide a healthy alternative to traditional vending machine and convenience store fare.”    

Healthy YOU Vending is the world leader in the healthy vending industry. With corporate offices in Kaysville, Utah, the Healthy YOU Vending team is dedicated to making healthier snacks, drinks and food products more accessible to people across North America. All company vending equipment is privately manufactured in the United States at a state-of-the-art facility. Owner/Operator opportunities for serious-minded and health-conscious entrepreneurs are currently available in most states.

MDToolbox Receives Updated Surescripts Certification and Helps Prescribers Meet National and State Mandates

Leave a comment


MDToolbox is committed to providing e-prescribing technology that is continually increasing prescription accuracy, patient safety, and provider efficiency.


RICHLAND, Wash. (PRWEB)

Leading e-Prescribing software vendor, MDToolbox, is focused on helping prescribers meet national and state electronic prescribing requirements. MDToolbox announced today that its e-Prescribing solution, MDToolbox-Rx, has received an updated certification from Surescripts that meets the National Council for Prescription Drug Program’s (NCPDP) SCRIPT Standard v2017071 for sending and receiving electronic prescription information.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires this new standard to be used by providers transmitting prescriptions electronically in the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit (Part D) program by January 1, 2020. However, many electronic health record vendors are struggling to meet this fast approaching deadline.

The upgrade to the new e-Prescribing standard brings exciting new features in MDToolbox-Rx that decrease the provider’s workload, increase patient safety, and improve prescription accuracy. These include:

  • The ability to automatically include Narcotic Addiction DEA Number (NADEAN) or XDEA numbers with relevant controlled substance prescriptions.

  • Automatic inclusion of patient drug allergies and vitals with prescriptions.

  • Expansion of messaging types and additional messaging fields – physicians now have the ability to not only utilize cancel and change requests, but also follow-up renewals and fill notifications along with other comprehensive features.

  • Increased character limit for directions, allowing for more thorough instructions for complicated prescriptions.

  • Enhanced support for future fill requests – eliminating extra clicks and streamlining the ability to make multiple future fill requests.

Along with the national CMS deadline, MDToolbox is also helping prescribers meet their state e-Prescribing regulations. These state laws range from requiring Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS) to requiring both controlled and non-controlled prescriptions be sent electronically. Several states already have laws in effect, while others’ deadlines are just around the corner. The following states have upcoming requirements beginning January 1st, 2020:

  • Arizona

  • Florida

  • Iowa

  • North Carolina

  • Oklahoma

  • Rhode Island


=

In addition to meeting state laws to transmit prescriptions electronically, MDToolbox also helps prescribers easily meet requirements to check their state Prescription Monitoring Programs (PMPs). Half of all US states have passed legislation requiring that the databases be checked before prescribing controlled substances in an effort to combat the opioid epidemic. MDToolbox offers the ability to integrate state PMP data directly into a prescribers’ e-Prescribing workflow. The feature allows prescribers to check a patient’s controlled substance prescription history in just one click, going directly to the patient’s record and eliminating the need to login separately and search for the patient. This convenient tool saves healthcare providers time, serves as a reminder to check their state PMP database, and makes it easy for providers to keep up with their state regulations.

“MDToolbox is committed to providing e-prescribing technology that is continually increasing prescription accuracy, patient safety, and provider efficiency,” stated Michael Conner, Director of Business Development at MDToolbox. “We are excited to be at the forefront of implementing the new SCRIPT standard as we make it a priority to stay ahead of the continuously changing regulations and standards so that our providers can focus on patient care.”

About MDToolbox

MDToolbox is a Health Information Technology software company providing innovative solutions. MDToolbox-Rx, the flagship product, is a complete e-Prescribing system that is used by stand-alone medical practices and facilities, as well as integrated seamlessly with hundreds of other Health IT systems nationwide. MDToolbox-Rx offers a highly customizable and simple to use electronic prescribing system that is Surescripts®, Meaningful Use, and EPCS certified.

Brach Eichler’s 2019 New Jersey Health Care Monitor Reveals Physicians Must Still Contend with Data Privacy Issues, the Opioid Crisis and Reduced Reimbursement

Leave a comment


While many physician practice groups already completed mergers and acquisitions in recent years, we still are likely to see the ripple effects of this year’s mega deals on the physician community for some time to come.


ROSELAND, N.J. (PRWEB)

More physicians are spending less time with patients and contending with reduced reimbursement rates than just four years ago. Data privacy, and the prescribing of opioids continue to be on the radar, while technology is becoming an increasingly important tool within physician practices.

According to the newly-released Brach Eichler 2019 New Jersey Health Care Monitor, the eighth annual survey of New Jersey physicians:


  • 63% said they were dealing with an increased administrative burden as a result of regulatory or compliance issues (versus 39% in 2015).

  • Nearly 56% of respondents said the changing healthcare environment has led to reduced reimbursement (versus 27% in 2015).

  • Nearly half said they were spending less time with their patients (versus 16% in 2015).

  • 37% spent more on technology in the last year (versus just 9% in 2015).

  • A little over half of physicians surveyed say they are prescribing fewer opioids to their patients compared with 43% in 2018.

In spite of these demands, little more than half of all physicians said their practice structure has not changed in the last year (versus 49% in 2018 and 61% in 2015).

“In 2019, we saw significant transactions continue to shape New Jersey’s healthcare marketplace such as Summit Medical Group’s merger with New York City-based urgent care system CityMD, as well as continued hospital consolidations,” said Brach Eichler Managing Member and Healthcare Law Practice Chair John D. Fanburg, “While many physician practice groups already completed mergers and acquisitions in recent years, we still are likely to see the ripple effects of this year’s mega deals on the physician community for some time to come.”

In fact, 16% of those physicians surveyed said that they did integrate their practice with another healthcare organization such as another single or multispecialty practice or hospital within the last year (versus 32% in 2018 and 37% in 2015), in a continuation of the trend, albeit at a lower rate. Of those physicians who are considering merging or otherwise modifying their practice, the reasons remained mostly consistent with the 2018 survey, with the desire to reduce expenses and increase cash flow being the most important reasons, followed by the desire to reduce the administrative burden, boost market share, and remain competitive.

According to the 2019 study, data privacy continues to be a focus for physicians in terms of how they run their practice in the face of highly- publicized technology breaches and cyberattacks. More than 4 in 10 physicians said they are investing in technology, while 40% also said they are conducting more staff training, and 20% are creating a new policy and procedures manual in an effort to protect their patients’ data and privacy.

Opioids continue to be an important topic. Healthcare Law Member Joseph Gorrell noted, “The nation’s opioid crisis has captured the attention of New Jersey’s physicians, as well, with more than half (52%) of the respondents prescribing them less often and suggesting alternatives, and 29% taking greater care to document patient and prescription data, according to this year’s survey.”

Among the survey’s other key findings:

  • 36% of respondents said they haven’t felt any impact from the now 18-month-old out-of-network law; 30% weren’t sure yet, and 14% said their reimbursement had been reduced.

  • While the media have talked a great deal about new ways to deliver medical care, the vast majority (72%) said they have not considered or are not already delivering medical care in new ways. However, 19% have considered telemedicine, 12% have considered concierge medicine, and 4% have considered home-based healthcare.

  • All of the business and regulatory demands on physicians continue to impact their outlook for their practice. While more than 62% of NJ physicians have a neutral, favorable, or very favorable outlook for their practice, nearly 38% had an unfavorable or very unfavorable view.

  • Reduced reimbursement is physicians’ biggest concern going into 2020, followed by increased administrative burden and keeping up with regulatory and compliance demands. Many still also feel pressure to give up their independent practices and face challenges keeping their client base intact.

2020: What’s In Store for the Practice of Medicine in New Jersey?

While this year’s study didn’t reveal dramatic fluctuations in the trends from the 2018 study, Fanburg noted that it often takes time before “we meaningfully start to see the longer-term effects of some of these changes, such as M&A activity, New Jersey’s evolving cannabis laws, and the influence of Wall Street and private equity. While the relative consistency among the trends between last year and this year may suggest that there is stability in the marketplace, in fact, New Jersey’s healthcare arena continues to evolve, quite dramatically in some ways, and serves as a barometer for the changing practice of medicine across the country.”

Among the trends that Brach Eichler has highlighted for 2020 are:

  • New York- and Philadelphia-based hospitals will continue to penetrate the New Jersey market; for example, Penn Medicine, CHOP, and the Rothman Institute have followed other large hospitals like Memorial Sloan Kettering and New York Presbyterian into the New Jersey healthcare marketplace.

  • Physicians will continue to move away from smaller practices to hospital affiliations, a decision driven as much by geography, as well as strategy. Specialists, in particular, will need to look more carefully at their referral sources. As hospitals continue to merge, they will exert greater influence over their referral base, which will have a significant effect on which specialists patients “choose.”

  • Wall Street and private equity will continue to help physicians monetize their practices.

  • Patient care will increasingly be rendered by physician assistants and advanced practice nurses as physicians face growing pressure to be ever-more efficient with regard to patient “throughput,” something that is especially true within the larger practice groups.

In spite of these changes and challenges, more physicians than not still would recommend that a young person graduating from college go into the medical profession, with 53% saying so in this year’s survey. “This suggests that, despite the growing regulatory and compliance burdens, as well as competitive pressures, physicians still derive enormous satisfaction from the practice of medicine. This fact really says more about the profession here in New Jersey than anything else, much to the benefit of patients,” Fanburg added.

New York City based IV Drips now offers Ketamine and NAD+ Infusions

Leave a comment


News Image

I believe that individuals can fully capitalize on their body’s strengths and rejuvenation through IV drip therapy. With Ketamine and NAD+ Infusions, our patients can overcome issues that have plagued them for years, says Bracha Banayan, owner of IV Drips Customized IV Hydration & Wellness.


NEW YORK (PRWEB)

IV Drips is one of the go-to mobile IV therapy drip services in NYC. IV Drips has been offering concierge IV service for vitamin drips, hydrations drips, hangover drips and other drip therapies and IV Drips has recently expanded their drip and infusion offerings by adding Ketamine and NAD+ infusion therapies to their treatment options.

Ketamine is a well-known drug in widespread use that has the potential to change the lives of millions suffering from chronic illnesses. Considered as an “essential medication” by the World Health Organization, Ketamine is used around the world as a safe treatment for depressions, PTSD, anxiety, addiction, and certain chronic pain conditions. With over 18 million adults living with depression in the United States alone, finding an effective treatment for this condition is imperative. Up to 30% of patients with depression are classified as “treatment-resistant,” which means that medications prove ineffective at helping them find relief from this devastating illness. Ketamine IV therapy is a revolutionary treatment that triggers the brain’s reaction to the drug and therefore provides relief. Results from Ketamine IV therapy are known to last far beyond the actual infusion, giving patients needed relief.

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is an essential part of the body’s fuel-making process. This coenzyme is present in every one of the human body’s living cells. As people age, the NAD+ levels begin to drop significantly, and people who participate in drug or alcohol abuse also deplete their bodies’ natural stores of this coenzyme. Decreased levels of NAD+ have been linked to a vast array of health conditions and startling symptoms. IV infusions allow NAD+ to release directly into the bloodstream, providing a much faster and far more effective treatment. NAD+ can improve mood while boosting energy, mental clarity, and brain function. Symptoms of depression and anxiety often improve as cells are repaired with this essential coenzyme.

Both Ketamine and NAD+ IV infusions are unlike other treatments currently available for depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, addiction, and fatigue. These IV infusions provide immediate relief, where more conventional methods often take weeks for medications to enter the body’s system and provide relief. At IV Drips, we are committed to making these life-changing treatments available. Our care team provides a safe and highly effective alternative to medications that make take weeks to ultimately prove inadequate.

“I believe that individuals can fully capitalize on their body’s strengths and rejuvenation through IV drip therapy. With Ketamine and NAD+ Infusions, our patients are now able to overcome issues that have plagued them for years,” says Bracha Banayan, owner of IV Drips Customized IV Hydration & Wellness.

The entire team at IV Drips works with patients to determine the most therapeutic care plan for their specific needs. Ketamine IV therapy must be performed in the safety of a controlled setting under the supervision of trained medical staff. However, NAD+ infusions and other drip therapies are eligible for mobile drip concierge service. Mobile IV therapy treatments are available in the NYC Metro Area.

IV Drips has two clinic locations in New York: one in New York City and one in Brooklyn. Both sites provide concierge service to make IV therapy infusion as convenient as possible to their clientele.

More About IV Drips Customized IV Hydration & Wellness:

IV Drips Customized IV Hydration & Wellness is owned by Bracha L. Banayan, NP. Bracha Banayan is licensed to practice in New York, and she has two office locations: New York City and Brooklyn. IV Drips Customized IV Hydration & Wellness offers IV therapy that expedites the process of replenishing the essential nutrients the body needs to help patients feel revitalized, re-energized and refreshed. The key component of IV Drip therapy is to help essential vitamins enter straight into the bloodstream so that patients experience immediate results and can take advantage of the full capacity that vitamins have to offer. IV Drips Customized IV Hydration & Wellness has a team of registered nurses and medical practitioners who are specialized in IV infusions.

Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. (NYSE and SIX: ZBH), a global leader in musculoskeletal healthcare, announced the completion of the first surgery using the recently FDA cleared Persona Revision Knee System for a revision knee arthroplasty procedure. The case was performed by David Lewallen, MD in Rochester, Minnesota.

“This is a very intuitive, elegant and powerful revision system,” said David Lewallen, MD. “Used with cemented stems it is also quite simple, with limited instrumentation and very adaptable to a wide range of patient anatomic variations and bone defects.”        

The Persona Revision Knee System offers anatomic implant geometry to achieve the desired bone coverage, fixation1 and stability to provide patients an individualized implant fit to personalize revision knee arthroplasty based on patient anatomy.

“This system has been meticulously designed and tested to deliver a revision solution of the highest quality, that addresses the varying and sometimes unpredictable challenges surgeon customers encounter,” said Jim Lancaster, Group President, Joint Reconstruction at Zimmer Biomet. “We are proud to offer the orthopedic community such a system and look forward to learning how it has helped improve patient lives.”
