SimpleGym, Cloud-Based Gym Management Software Has Integrated WePay For Instant Payments

SimpleGym Partners With WePay

At SimpleGym, we want gym owners to be up and running on our platform in minutes, not days or even hours, and achieving that has been a key component in all of our partnerships.


SEATTLE (PRWEB)

SimpleGym, makers of the cloud-based all-in-one gym management software for gyms, studios, dojos and personal training, today announced a partnership with WePay, the integrated payments business of JPMorgan Chase & Co., to bring its users fast, reliable and secure integrated payments.

SimpleGym has integrated the WePay payments platform into its software, bringing its customers the reliability and security of fully integrated credit, debit and ACH payment capabilities.

Delivering Payments, Securely

In selecting a payments partner, SimpleGym prioritized payment security, streamlined onboarding and a commitment to innovation.

An Instant Onboarding Experience

SimpleGym wanted a payments partner who offers instant onboarding through deferred KYC (Know-Your-Customer). This feature enables gym owners who sign up for SimpleGym, to delay the lengthy underwriting back and forth that traditional credit card processing entails, and instead immediately begin accepting payments from gym members.

“At SimpleGym, we want gym owners to be up and running on our platform in minutes, not days or even hours, and achieving that has been a key component in all of our partnerships,” said Rich McIver, SimpleGym Director of Operations. “With WePay, we found a partner whose deferred KYC onboarding flow enabled us to achieve that. Now, gym owners can simply create a SimpleGym account and instantly have the ability to process payments via our payments partner. That technology was integral to ensuring that gym owners who use our software have the simple, fast experience we always want to deliver. In our payments partner research, WePay was one of only a few prospective partners in the world capable of delivering on that goal.”

A Commitment to Innovation and Affordability

Gym owners need a gym management solution that is easy to use and affordable, but also meets all of their administrative, payment, legal and management needs. And as their gyms develop, those needs change.

Internally, the SimpleGym team has made it a key goal to respond to customer product feedback and feature requests as a means to improve customer experience and ensure that SimpleGym remains the most innovative, affordable and intuitive gym management software platform (See the SimpleGym Changelog for the latest SimpleGym product developments). In WePay, SimpleGym sought and found a similar commitment to innovation and customer responsiveness.

Availability

SimpleGym enables gym owners to sign up and manage members, simplify paperwork, handle class check-ins, track gym growth, handle member payments, and more.

SimpleGym’s all-in-one gym management software is currently available for free for a 30 day trial. Gyms can then select from plans ranging from $9 to $79 per month. See Pricing for full details.

About SimpleGym

SimpleGym is an innovative gym management software platform that provides an unprecedented combination of features, affordability and ease of use. It delivers the best gym management software on the market for both startup gym owners, who can take advantage of SimpleGym’s free tier, and larger gyms, who can try SimpleGym free for 60 days.

New skin care system from VitalFitSR for prosthetic users

It is unfortunate that those with limb loss have obstacles to living an active, healthy life, and I’m pleased to play a role in helping them overcome barriers related to skin care issues


SAN DIEGO (PRWEB)

VitalFitSR, the first skin care system formulated by Paul B. Dean, M.D. in collaboration with other dermatologists and clinicians to address the skin issues faced by individuals with limb loss and high-risk skin issues, launched this month at the Challenged Athlete Foundation (CAF) Annual Community Weekend event in San Diego, CA.

“We have had an overwhelmingly positive reaction from those in the limb-loss community as a result of this skin-care system,” said Paul B. Dean, M.D., founder of VitalFitSR. “We recognized a need for a clinical system to address the challenges that these individuals face every day. It is unfortunate that those with limb loss have obstacles to living an active, healthy life, and I’m pleased to play a role in helping them overcome barriers related to skin care issues.”

Skin conditions are a leading cause of the inability to comfortably wear prosthetic devices, orthotics or diabetic shoe products. The VitalFitSR system contains a unique blend of ingredients that reduces the potential for inflammation, perspiration, odor, fungal infection, dermatitis, and bacteria. The system also works in conjunction to prevent irritation and dry, chapped skin.

VitalFitSR launched in conjunction with being an official sponsor of the Challenged Athletes Foundation in San Diego. The input from participants solidified VitalFit’s mission to enhance lives and their dedication to the support and education of individuals as well as the clinicians that serve them.

Paul B. Dean, M.D. has been practicing dermatology in San Diego for more than 35 years, and is the founder of a hypo-allergenic, ultra-sensitive line of skincare products called Skin Resource.MD available online and in medical offices.

For more information on VitalFitSR, please go to http://www.vitalfitsr.com.

About VitalFitSR

VitalFitSR is the first dermatologist-formulated and approved skin care system for those experiencing challenges from using prosthetics, orthotics or who have dysvascular/neuropathy.

Delaware Valley Accountable Care Wins 2019 Doyle Award for Innovative Post-Acute Care Strategy

Leave a comment


MCG Health

MCG Health presents Delaware Valley ACO with the 2019 Richard L. Doyle Award

Having MCG’s care guidelines as evidence-based tools to help guide our care coordination efforts with our post-acute care partners are some of the important components that help drive our success.


SEATTLE (PRWEB)

MCG Health, part of the Hearst Health network and a leading provider of informed care strategies, has named Delaware Valley Accountable Care Organization (DVACO) a recipient of the 2019 Richard L. Doyle Award for Innovation and Leadership in Healthcare.

The Philadelphia-area ACO was recognized for implementing a unique post-acute strategy which significantly reduced patient length of stay in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and improved care coordination across the post-acute continuum of care. By leveraging MCG’s Chronic Care and Recovery Facility Care guidelines and a web-based tool to track their patients’ stays in post-acute care, Delaware Valley ACO reduced the average length of stay (LOS) by one full day and achieved a $1.3 million savings in Medicare expenditures. The ACO also decreased home health spend by 8% over the same timeframe. Since the ACO’s inception in 2014, they have been able to reduce overall SNF spend in their network by an impressive 30%.

Delaware Valley ACO’s strategic initiative used claims data to define the top 20 diagnoses for patients utilizing a SNF. The ACO then partnered with MCG to publish length of stay guidelines for these diagnoses and share them across their SNF network. This critical step encouraged proactive multi-disciplinary care planning at the time of admission. In turn, this helped to identify barriers to discharge earlier in the patient’s stay and initiate the proper actions to resolve them. Delaware Valley ACO’s SNF partners now proactively communicate with a patient’s primary care physician (and/or ambulatory care coordinator) to discuss clinical, social, medication, or palliative care goals.

“We learned pretty quickly that establishing preferred post-acute care networks was the easy part of our strategy; leveraging them to improve the care of our patients and improve value was more challenging,” said Beth Souder, PT, MSPT, the Director of Post-Acute Networks at Delaware Valley ACO. She added, “Having MCG’s care guidelines as evidence-based tools to help guide our care coordination efforts with our post-acute care partners are some of the important components that help drive our success.”

“We’re seeing more risk-bearing organizations implement evidence-based, informed care strategies across the full spectrum of patient care,” said MCG President and CEO, Jon Shreve. “Delaware Valley ACO’s results show that applying the evidence properly can positively impact coordination efforts between providers working across different settings. We congratulate them on this significant achievement.”

The Richard L. Doyle Award—which includes a $10,000 cash prize—will be presented to Delaware Valley ACO at MCG’s annual Client Forum in Orlando, Florida, May 17-20, 2020. At the conference, leaders from the ACO will present a special session on their winning initiative and take questions from MCG clients and invited guests. You can learn more about the Richard L. Doyle Award for Innovation and Leadership in Healthcare at https://www.mcg.com/doyle-award/.

About Delaware Valley Accountable Care Organization (DVACO)

The Delaware Valley Accountable Care Organization (DVACO) is a limited liability company that is owned by Main Line Health and Jefferson Health, serving the Greater Philadelphia region. DVACO’s purpose is to enhance the quality of health care and reduce the growth rate of health care costs by acting as a convener, accelerator, and provider of the foundation needed to assist its participating members to transition from fee for service, a business model focused on volume, to a model focused on population health.

DVACO operates under the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) through an agreement with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Currently, DVACO is the region’s largest Medicare ACO with more than 2,000 physicians and 90,000 Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries. Additionally, DVACO currently holds three performance-based contracts with private payers as well as the employees and dependents of its owners —enhancing DVACO’s total number of beneficiaries to above 250,000—a number that will likely increase in the future as DVACO participates with additional insurance payers in population health contracts.

About the Richard L. Doyle Award for Innovation and Leadership in Healthcare

The Doyle Award was developed to recognize organizations that make innovative use of the care guidelines to help deliver effective healthcare. Dr. Doyle, the care guidelines founding editor, was a hospital chief-of-staff when he began creating clinical guidelines in the 1980s to help improve healthcare efficiency and quality at Mercy Hospital in San Diego. He later joined Milliman & Robertson and in 1988 published the first set of what was to become the care guidelines.

Judges for this award are independent healthcare quality experts, not currently associated with MCG. Applicants were judged on how well their projects supported the MCG mission to help drive effective care, and the names and locations of the nominees were redacted prior to the judges’ review. Judges looked for evidence of improvements in healthcare quality and patient safety; patient/member satisfaction; staff efficiency, productivity and satisfaction; internal/external communication; and effective use of resources.

“Peer-to-peer and social support is invaluable during the cancer journey,” said Tiffany Kendig, PT, DPT, MPH, CLT, ReVital Program Director at Kessler. “Our ability to offer this resource through CHN empowers survivors and facilitates our dedication to providing comprehensive cancer care.” She discussed ReVital’s philosophy of care – which meshes so closely with CHN’s own. “We believe that all survivors should have access to comprehensive, high quality, specialized cancer rehabilitation services throughout their cancer journey. What’s important to our patients is important to us.”

While we are honored and greatly appreciate recognition for our efforts on the part of cancer survivors, we still have a long way to go in making comprehensive cancer rehabilitation services available to all of those who need them,” Kendig concluded. “Support and recognition by the Cancer Hope Network is a meaningful validation of our mission and a tremendous motivator as we work to get help to those who need it.”
