WEDI Releases Industry White Paper, “Understanding the Models and Definitions of Encounters”

Leave a comment


“The industry needs to understand the current uses and transmissions of health care encounter data in order to address the barriers and variances that exist today.”


WASHINGTON (PRWEB)

WEDI, the nation’s leading nonprofit authority on the use of health IT to create efficiencies in health care information exchange and a statutory advisor to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), today announced the development of an industry white paper that provides a baseline understanding of various purposes of health care encounter transactions, their processing models and definitions.

According to the paper, “Health care encounter transactions have generally been thought of as secondary use of claims data; data that is used for research and public health surveillance. As alternative payment models and value-based care gain traction, health care encounter transactions and the use of that data have become more prevalent and meaningful. The industry needs to understand the current uses and transmissions of health care encounter data in order to address the barriers and variances that exist today.”

The 32-page document addresses the longstanding purposes, meanings, and needs related to the use and processes associated with health care encounter transactions. Some key takeaways from the white paper’s conclusion include:


  • The industry needs to understand the current uses and transmissions of health care encounter data in order to address the barriers and variances that exist today.

  • Encounter data is sent and received by different organizations. Although the entities involved in sending and receiving the encounter data and transmission methods are similar, each model has its own intent for why the data is being transmitted and what needs to be transmitted.

  • Various nonstandard and work-around methods are used today to send and receive data that are not accommodated in current standard transactions.

WEDI is the leading authority on the use of health IT to improve health care information exchange in order to enhance the quality of care, improve efficiency, and reduce costs of our nation’s health care system.

Celebrating girl power on International Day of the Girl Child 2019

Leave a comment


Dayton Children's four female orthopedic physicians

Dr. Claire Beimesch, Dr. Melissa Martinek, Dr. Sarah Steward, Dr. Lora Scott

In 2011, the United Nations declared October 11 as the International Day of the Girl Child to help galvanize worldwide enthusiasm for goals to better girls’ lives, providing an opportunity for them to show leadership and reach their full potential.


DAYTON, Ohio (PRWEB)

Only 6% of orthopedic surgeons in the country are women – and Dayton Children’s has three of them, as well as a female physician leading the sports medicine program. These four work with a whole host of women providing positive role models for today’s girls who want to succeed in traditionally male-oriented fields.

Orthopedic medicine deals with the correction of differences in bones or muscles. Many times that correction is needed after a sports injury. For Beavercreek native, Sarah Steward, MD, that was her calling to become an orthopedic surgeon, pursuing special training in sports injuries. “I grew up playing sports and played basketball at an international level. I considered careers like basketball player, basketball coach, engineer, architect and doctor. I also always knew I wanted to be a mom. In the end, I decided on a career that allowed me to combine my love for science, medicine, athletics and kids, all in one.”

Director of Dayton Children’s sports medicine program, Dr. Lora Scott’s passions also ran toward STEM careers. “I wanted to do something science or technology related. When I thought about my ideal job, I was picturing what today is called a biomechanical engineer. But that was a non-existent career at the time. I didn’t even know what to call that role back then. There were very few, if any, schools who offered it. In the end, I opted for a medical degree in pediatrics and focused on treating sports injuries like concussions. You only have one brain and it’s imperative we protect it for a lot more than just athletics.”

Other orthopedic surgeons focus on congenital issues, those that children are born with. They can be conditions such as scoliosis, the curving of the spine, or cerebral palsy (CP), a condition marked by impaired movement and muscle tone. While surgery is one option to improve movement, orthopedic experts have a lot of other methods in their toolbox that girls interested in a STEM career could study.

“I pursued extra study in motion analysis,” says Claire Beimesch, MD. “There is technology called a gait lab that allows us to watch in real time how a child walks or runs. It’s a great way to take interest in high-tech tools and apply it to make the human body work better.”

Melissa Martinek, DO, PhD, showcases yet another route aspiring girl physicians can take. She is also an orthopedic surgeon, but earned her medical degree in osteopathic medicine, a discipline that bases diagnosis and treatment on the idea that the body’s systems are interconnected. She may work on changes to a child’s muscles and skeletal system that impact health in other parts of his or her body.

“An example could be a leg lengthening surgery,” explains Dr. Martinek. “If we lengthen the leg, it brings the body back into balance and leads to better alignment of all kinds of systems. Muscles, nerves and even organs are no longer compensating for the shorter leg.”

These doctors are not the only women making an impact in the orthopedics division. Dayton Children’s has an incredible array of female physical therapists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, medical imaging technicians and many more roles throughout the hospital who care for kids throughout their health care journey.

“I hope that these examples give girls who are considering what their future could hold more options,” says Debbie Feldman, president and CEO of Dayton Children’s. “I hope that my colleagues and I can inspire young women and open their minds to the possibilities to areas they may not have considered before.”

Truly effective social change cannot come without girls’ leadership. These women at Dayton Children’s are leading the way, and providing examples for girls to go above and beyond.

Nihon Medi-Physics Launches In-house Production of Molybdenum-99

Leave a comment


News Image

Nuclear medicine scan by Technetium-99m radiopharmaceutical.

Molybdenum-99 is the critical raw material for Technetium-99m radiopharmaceuticals.


TOKYO (PRWEB)

Nihon Medi-Physics (NMP), the leading radiopharmaceutical company in Japan, announced the in-house production of Molybdenum-99 (99Mo), the critical raw material for Technetium-99m (99mTc).

NMP launched a project for the in-house production of 99Mo by investing about JPY1.3Bn and plans to start commercial production of 99Mo in 2023. They have developed a new manufacturing process that uses an accelerator instead of a nuclear reactor. It is an environment-friendly procedure without generating nuclear waste.

A stable supply of pharmaceutical products is the most important mission for a pharmaceutical manufacturer. Stable procurement of 99Mo is an essential factor for fulfilling this mission sustainably. Therefore, NMP has been collaborating with the Research Center for Electron Photon Science, Tohoku University, since 2016 to develop a new 99Mo manufacturing process using an electron accelerator. NMP has successfully conquered various issues such as 99Mo quality as a raw material for 99mTc radiopharmaceutical products as well as its productivity. NMP has confirmed the suitability of the manufacturing process for commercial production.

99mTc radiopharmaceuticals are major products in the global diagnostic nuclear medicine market, and the demand for 99Mo as a raw material is growing in emerging countries. Together with deteriorating production capabilities due to aging production facilities of existing suppliers, the supply/demand imbalance is forecasted to become more significant, according to a report published by an international organization*1. In the event of a global 99Mo supply shortage, NMP’s project could contribute to overcome the negative impact this would cause to medical care practice within nuclear medicine procedures.

Nihon Medi-Physics Co., Ltd. (NMP) is a leading company for radiopharmaceuticals in Japan, engaged in R&D, manufacturing, and distribution. NMP’s stable and reliable supply of quality products has contributed to society over the years. With continuous challenges to new business opportunities in the “Development of Theranostics”, “Application of digital technology in healthcare”, and “Expansion of radiopharmaceutical business in Asia”, NMP anticipates to further contribute to the health and well-being of societies into the future.

Dr. Deutsch of Perimeter Plastic Surgery Recommends Fall for Elective Surgery

Leave a comment


Perimeter Plastic Surgery logo

“This is why we recommend undergoing procedures during the fall and winter months, so patients have plenty of time to have the best recovery possible. We make it a priority to remain highly accessible throughout the course of every aesthetic journey.”


ATLANTA (PRWEB)

Choosing the right time to go through a medical procedure can be tough, especially when different factors can come into play. Dr. Mark Deutsch of Perimeter Plastic Surgery and his team can help you decide which procedures are right for you, while also recommending the best times to perform them.

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the fall and winter months are the ideal times to book an appointment at a clinic for a consultation. Common procedures such as breast augmentations or tummy tucks can be lengthy, and the recovery stage can take a few months. The colder months are the best time for recovery and provide ample time for swelling to resolve because people are able to stay indoors, relax and take it easy after surgery. Essentially, it is also smart to plan cosmetic procedures around the holidays as more people have extra off days which brings better chances towards recovery.

Double board-certified specialist, Dr. Mark Deutsch has continuously proven himself as one of the most trusted surgeons in the plastic surgery field for the past 20 years. He is currently featured in Atlanta Magazine’s list of Atlanta “Top Doctors” issue in partnership with Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. for the fourth year in a row. Dr. Deutsch serves a multitude of hospitals, including Northside and Piedmont Healthcare.

With specialized training from MD Anderson Cancer Center and Albert Einstein Montefiore Medical Center, Dr. Deutsch performs procedures for breast cancer reconstruction, head and neck cancer reconstruction, and complex cosmetic cases including breast procedures and the extremely popular “mommy makeover.” During each appointment, he will provide all of the essential facts about any procedure while answering any questions or concerns that you have in mind. Before choosing to undergo any type of procedure, it is important to review all of the benefits and risks prior to coming in for a consultation with Dr. Deutsch. Since the practice strives to excel in patients’ well-beings, this brings successful outcomes on a daily basis.

“Our practice philosophy is to embrace the belief that every patient is entirely unique,” explains Mark Deutsch, MD, FACS, plastic surgeon and medical director of Perimeter Plastic Surgery. “One of our core tenants is spending ample time with patients which is critical to achieving the highest quality of care. This is why we recommend undergoing procedures during the fall and winter months, so patients have plenty of time to have the best recovery possible. We make it a priority to remain highly accessible throughout the course of every aesthetic journey.”

About Perimeter Plastic Surgery:

Perimeter Plastic Surgery is one of the top plastic surgery practices with locations in Atlanta and Fayetteville, Georgia. The team at Perimeter Plastic Surgery is now welcoming patients for any type of consultation. Owner and founder of the practice, Mark Deutsch, MD, FACS, has over 20 years of plastic surgery experience, is double board-certified, and has been named a Top Doctor in Atlanta by Castle Connolly for four years in a row: 2016, 2017, 2018 & 2019. Perimeter Plastic Surgery’s Atlanta office is located in Northside Doctor’s Center on Johnson Ferry Road.

Parsley Health Launches New Digital Services on Tail of $26M in Series B Raise

Leave a comment


News Image


NEW YORK (PRWEB)

Parsley Health, the leading national provider of holistic personalized medicine designed to reverse chronic illness and optimize health, announced the launch of two new telemedicine services and a round of Series B funding today. Since Parsley Health’s Series A in April of 2018, the company has raised an additional $26M in new funding.

White Star Capital, the global multi-stage technology investment platform, led the Series B round with additional investments from funds including FirstMark Capital, Amplo, Alpha Edison, Arkitekt Ventures, and Galaxy Digital, as well as individuals including Nat Turner, founder and CEO of Flatiron Health, and Tom Lee, Founder of One Medical. The Series B round officially closed in the summer of 2019.

“Our health system desperately needs a makeover. According to the CDC, 60% of American adults have at least one chronic disease – that’s 153 million people. These are largely lifestyle-driven, preventable and reversible conditions and yet they account for 90% of our annual healthcare costs,” said Dr. Robin Berzin, CEO & Founder of Parsley Health. “A revolving door of prescriptions, referrals to specialists and band-aid solutions won’t fix this and it won’t fix us. We need a new model of care, one that’s accessible, affordable, proven to address the root causes of chronic disease and – thanks to technology – available from anywhere around the globe.”

On the tail of its Series B raise, Parsley Health launched a suite of fully-digital offerings, including a telemedicine membership plan for ongoing care and two new at-home diagnostics products.

The telemedicine membership will allow people across the country to take advantage of the same offerings found at Parsley’s brick-and-mortar locations: advanced diagnostic testing, personalized medical care from doctors trained in functional medicine, health coaching and unlimited online access to their care team 365 days a year – all from the comfort of their own homes. The features are fully integrated to support members through nearly 4-hours of 1-1 sessions with their Board Certified doctor, allowing Parsley to help telemedicine members get to the root cause of their health concerns, using the best of both conventional medicine and modern holistic care.

Parsley’s new diagnostics products provide individuals with in-depth testing, an analysis of their speciality lab results, and a personalized doctor-designed plan to improve their health. Parsley’s first diagnostics product line, Comprehensive Hormone Care, is designed to help women suffering from conditions and symptoms like PCOS, PMS, fatigue, weight gain, insomnia and anxiety detect the root cause and get back to feeling like themselves again. Comprehensive Hormone Care will include options to receive either a one-time analysis with a health plan, or join as a member to receive health coaching and re-testing to track progress over time. Additional issue-specific at-home diagnostics products are expected to launch in the year ahead.

At the outset, telemedicine services will be available statewide in New York and California with plans to scale to 50 states in the next six months.

“Parsley Health’s unique model not only fosters a better, stronger relationship between health practitioners and patients, but addresses the strong demand for functional medical services and easier access with their organic tech integration. We believe in Parsley’s noble mission and continue to be impressed by its fast-growth in the US and its model that enables the company to generate multi-channel revenue from care memberships to e-commerce,” said White Star Capital Founder and Managing Partner, Eric Martineau-Fortin. “With this new investment, we are incredibly excited to work with the Parsley team to help further scale its modern personalized approach – a critical need of the healthcare industry across the world.”

America spends $3.5 trillion on healthcare each year – much of this goes to diseases that are data-proven to be effectively treated, prevented and reversed with lifestyle and nutrition interventions. Guided by advanced testing and diagnostics, Parsley Health’s outcomes-focused approach has the potential to help patients across the country feel better while saving the healthcare system billions of dollars.

“Parsley Health is delivering the future of primary care,” said Nat Turner, Founder and CEO of Flatiron Health. “From the advanced clinical model designed to reduce chronic illness while optimizing health, to the tech-enabled consumer-grade user experience, they are proving novel ways to improve outcomes and lower costs. I’m proud to join them again as an investor in their latest round of funding and to watch the company scale nationally.”

Following the launch of their suite of remote services, Parsley Health will open its California flagship center in West Hollywood, Los Angeles in October 2019. Like Parsley’s first flagship center in New York City, the West Hollywood location will be tech-integrated and engineered to boost health by using biophilic design principles.

Parsley Health will use this latest funding to hire additional doctors and team members, expand to new cities and increase its remote services.

About Parsley Health

Parsley Health is a new kind of digital health company offering personalized medicine services across telemedicine, diagnostics and in-person care. Parsley’s unique approach blends cutting-edge testing, nutrition, wellness and prevention with conventional medicine. It is the first and only vertically integrated digital health solution for reversing chronic disease and optimizing health. The company was founded in 2016 by Dr. Robin Berzin, M.D., a Columbia-trained physician, digital health expert and leader in holistic medicine. Parsley centers are currently open in Los Angeles, New York City and San Francisco and fully-digital telemedicine services will be available nationwide in early 2020.
