This will help MedTech executives understand why they need to make this critical investment and the measurable benefits it will have for the company.

INDIANAPOLIS (PRWEB)
June 06, 2023

Greenlight Guru, the leading provider of cloud-based solutions for MedTech companies, announced today the results of a new independent study that measures the return on investment an electronic quality management system (eQMS) solution can have on medical device companies. Developed in partnership with the research firm Hobson & Company, the study shows that companies can experience significant increases in speed and efficiency, along with a reduction in risk, by implementing modern solutions like Greenlight Guru’s eQMS.

The implementation of a QMS is key to the success of a medical device company and the speed at which it can operate. However, success can be more difficult to achieve with a paper-based QMS or generic tools, which 1 in 3 MedTech professionals say they use for essential activities like documentation, product development, compliance, and training. This approach creates inefficiencies and increases the risk of non-compliance. As a result, about a third of medical device industry professionals say they are not well equipped to meet quality and product development standards.

Overall, the independent study found that a three-year investment in Greenlight Guru’s eQMS solution can generate positive cash flows in just 2.7 months and a potential return on investment of 300-500%.

“Our research study clearly illustrates the impact a modern eQMS solution can have on a medical device company,” says Tammy Klein, Management Consultant at Hobson & Company. “Many of the companies in our research study had previously used manual or less sophisticated systems, and they experienced significant improvements after implementing Greenlight Guru’s eQMS solution.”

In addition, the study revealed an array of positive impacts for medical device companies implementing an eQMS solution, including:

• 75% reduction in time needed to set up a quality management system
• 50% reduction in time spent on development and design documentation
• 50% reduction in time spent preparing for audits
• 75% reduction in QA/RA FTE time spent on mandatory training
• 35% reduction in the number of labor hours needed per recall/return/adverse event

Along with the new study, Greenlight Guru has also introduced its new online Value Calculator—an interactive tool that provides MedTech companies with customized reports on the potential impact an eQMS solution can have on their business. The Value Calculator can be accessed here https://www.greenlight.guru/roi-calculator.

“We are excited to release this research study that clearly quantifies the results MedTech companies can achieve when they move from a legacy or paper-based system to a modern eQMS solution,” says David DeRam, CEO of Greenlight Guru. “This will help MedTech executives understand why they need to make this critical investment and the measurable benefits it will have for the company.”

Greenlight Guru will host a free webinar on June 8, 2023 to provide a more in-depth review of the results. More information and event sign-up can be found here.

Men often avoid doctors as it makes them feel out of control. However, men who are proactive will get a better return on the investment in their health.

Every man should know good health is within their reach. It’s the day-by-day small steps that eventually add up to significant improvements in their overall well-being and quality of life.

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
June 06, 2023

Men’s health matters, and the month of June is a good reminder of this message. Taking care of thousands of men over the years has been my top priority. This includes educating and inspiring men to make their health and wellness a top priority too.

Since 1994, June has been designated as Men’s Health Month, meant to raise awareness of issues impacting the health and wellness of men and boys. In addition, this month helps educate and remind men and their loved ones of the preventable health problems affecting men.

Men’s Health Month is an ideal time to talk with men about disease prevention and their health. Men need an ally, not an antagonist. They need encouragement to maintain good health habits and self-care and to find healthy ways to ask for help without concerns about looking weak or unmanly.

Here are five steps men can take starting today to make significant strides in their health:

1.    Exercise regularly: A man’s fitness level can determine his risk of heart attack or dying from heart disease. For instance, ask a man, “Can you walk briskly for 2 miles?” If the answer is no, let them start slowly and go a bit farther daily. Increased endurance leads to better health, including a reduced risk of diabetes and possibly prostate cancer. Plus, they will feel better physically and mentally.

2.    Get checked for prostate cancer: Beginning at age 40, men should have a baseline prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test and yearly after that. Other than skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in American men. The American Cancer Society estimates that for 2023, almost 288,300 men will be diagnosed with the disease, and nearly 34,700 men will die(1).

3.    Get your blood pressure checked: Both men and women should have regular blood pressure checks. The ideal blood pressure is less than 120 over 80. High blood pressure is a “silent killer,” causing widespread damage to arteries, heart, kidneys, eyes, and brain. Therefore, maintaining blood pressure within a healthy range is essential to good health. Men who take steps to exercise, eat a healthy diet, lose weight if necessary, and cut back on alcohol if having more than two drinks a day are more likely to reach this healthy range, significantly reducing their risk for serious health complications.

4.    Reduce sodium in your diet: About 90% of Americans consume too much sodium – the average daily sodium intake for adults is more than 3400 mg daily(2). This exceeds the 2,300 mg of sodium a day recommended by the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Excess sodium increases the risk of hypertension, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Most excess sodium comes from fast foods, processed meats, canned, bagged, boxed, and restaurant food. Men can reduce their sodium intake by eating fresher, unprocessed foods such as more fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains, and fresh meat. They include high-potassium foods such as bananas, kiwi fruit, spinach, tomatoes, and mangos.

5.    Pay attention to health warning signs: Men are prone to ignoring bodily symptoms that could be a possible health warning sign – an unusual ache or pain, blood in the urine, or a change in a mole. Never brush off something as “probably nothing” when it could be more serious. Instead, men should be in tune with what feels normal and what feels different or not right. Warning signs needing immediate attention include:

• 
      Crushing chest pain (possible heart attack) or chest pain triggered by activity but goes away with rest (possible angina)
•     Shortness of breath
•     Excessive sweating or exhaustion with exertion
•     Tingling in arms or other extremities
•     Dizziness
•     Numbness in the face, arms, or legs
•     Swelling in the feet or ankles or another area that is not normal

In conclusion

The more men reading this message, the more likely men can live healthier, happier, and longer lives. Every man should know good health is within their reach. The small steps eventually add up to significant improvements in their overall well-being and quality of life.

MCG Health, part of the Hearst Health network and an industry leader in technology-enabled, evidence-based guidance, announces its Product Manager for Interoperability Solutions, Daniel Cawood, will co-present with University Hospitals’ Director of Clinical Documentation Integrity & Utilization Management, Kelly Skorepa, BSN, RN, CCDS, at the Ohio Hospital Association’s (OHA) 108th Annual Meeting & Education Summit happening June 12-14, 2023, at the Hilton Columbus at Easton in Columbus, Ohio.

Ms. Skorepa and Mr. Cawood will present the session, “Fostering Payer-Provider Collaboration to Reduce Administrative Burden,” on Tuesday, June 13, from 9:45 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. ET. These experts from University Hospitals and MCG, respectively, will provide a before-and-after analysis of leveraging MCG Indicia for Collaborative Care to streamline the clinical authorization processes with payers. The speakers will detail the challenges University Hospital faced prior to launching the solution, important aspects of the implementation process, and the subsequent results of using the solution – including time-savings and hospital productivity metrics.

Mr. Cawood said of the presentation, “MCG and University Hospitals have a compelling story to share about new technology that is automating clinical authorizations and making a powerful impact on hospital efficiency.”

Ms. Skorepa added, “University Hospitals is excited to speak to other healthcare leaders in Ohio about how we got our authorization fax queue down to zero and reduced payer denials by working with MCG.”

Since the release of a Proposed Rule by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicare Services (CMS) in December 2022, providers and payers have been exploring new technologies to streamline the clinical authorization workflow. MCG, widely seen as the current leader in evidence-based decision support technology, has been collaborating with several payers and hospital systems for the past several years to automate the authorization process. MCG has achieved notable successes in authorization burden reduction with hospitals and health plans in Ohio as well as the Pacific Northwest.
