The MeldRx directory meets the new FHIR endpoint requirements under ONC HTI-1 and offers enhanced functionalities and user experience.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Darena Solutions, a leading provider of FHIR®-enabled interoperability, regulatory compliance, and analytics solutions, has announced the launch of its newly redesigned directory (formerly MeldRx Hub). This update comes in response to the upcoming ONC Endpoint Requirements under the HTI-1 rule, set to take effect on January 1st, 2025. The ONC has mandated that by this date, EHRs must ensure that FHIR API endpoints for all provider organizations are published in a public directory. The specification requires (g)(10) certified developers to publish a “Service Base URL” in a machine-readable FHIR format, including detailed organization information for each endpoint.
To ensure compliance, the ONC has introduced the Inferno tool (Service Base URL Test Kit) and the Lantern Public Directory, which will monitor the availability and accuracy of these URLs. Non-compliance may result in corrective action as per the HTI-1 final rule. The newly redesigned MeldRx directory not only complies with these stringent requirements but also offers enhanced functionalities and user experience.
KEY FEATURES OF THE REDESIGNED MELDRX DIRECTORY
Automatic Publication of FHIR Endpoints: All HTI-1 certified FHIR endpoints provisioned for providers will be automatically published to the directory.
User-Managed Listings: Customers can update their practice and provider details directly from the MeldRx app, ensuring real-time accuracy.
Improved Search and Sorting: Enhanced search and sorting mechanisms make it easier to find practices and providers within the directory.
Patrick Schiess, President and Chief Information Security Officer of Darena Solutions, commented on the launch: “MeldRx’s directory is more than a listing of practices and providers. It’s a vehicle to build trust while connecting patients, providers, and researchers to valuable healthcare data. We designed the directory with usability in mind and know that our customers are excited to see their practices and providers listed among some of the leading organizations in healthcare. By being listed in the directory, organizations are taking a stand for healthcare interoperability and letting the world know that they believe in the mission to digitally share healthcare data.”
As part of its ongoing commitment to regulatory compliance and innovation, Darena Solutions continues to deliver solutions that facilitate data sharing, interoperability, and prospective decision-making within the healthcare ecosystem. The redesigned directory is a testament to the company’s dedication to providing top-tier solutions that meet the evolving needs of healthcare providers and EHR developers alike.

The same highly skilled talent is available directly through Revuud, offering a more streamlined and cost-effective solution.
Market Expansion and Performance Highlights
Continuous Growth of IT Talent Pool: Revuud’s marketplace now features over 3,100 highly qualified and pre-vetted IT professionals, providing healthcare systems with direct access to top-tier talent.
Surge in Engagement Revenue: Revuud has already achieved a remarkable 100% year to date increase in engagement revenue over all of 2023, reflecting the growing demand for its innovative talent management solutions.
Addition of New Healthcare Systems: The company achieved 40% YoY new client growth in the first half of 2024 by adding 8 new health systems to its platform. This expansion adds to an already robust client base, including several of the largest healthcare providers in the country.
Revuud’s platform offers several key benefits that are transforming the industry:
Direct Access to Talent: Healthcare systems can directly connect with pre-vetted IT contractors, eliminating the middleman and reducing costs.
The Ability to Build Your Bench: Organizations can invite contractors they have previously worked with and trust into the platform for easy and less expensive access in the future.
Flexibility and Scalability: Revuud enables healthcare systems to scale up or down as needed using fractional resources, without sacrificing quality. This flexibility is especially valuable in managing fluctuating project demands.
“As we continue to see terrific growth and success with our clients, the potential for Revuud to transform the healthcare IT talent management landscape is immense.

Keltie Jamieson, CIO at Bermuda Hospitals Board, shared, “Everyone we’ve engaged with through the Revuud platform has been highly skilled and at a much better price. The pricing via staffing agencies and recruiters is just too high.”
Revuud enabled BHB’s small digital health team to manage their projects more effectively, even allowing team members to take vacations without the need for constant on-call duties. This success story highlights Revuud’s ability to significantly improve operational efficiency and reduce costs for healthcare organizations.

For parents looking for quality education that prioritizes developmental skills, preschool registration is now open. The program provides children with specialized instruction, a supportive environment, and behavioral support to ensure they learn and thrive. Their daily schedule includes therapeutic integration, developmental center play, small group activities, snacks, literacy and numeracy groups, and gross motor play. Their team is composed of members from the special education, speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, and mental health disciplines. For more information on enrollment, you can visit their Preschool page.
Kathryn Ferro, Founder & CEO of Basal Therapies & Preschool, speaks to what makes the program so special. “The thing that makes Basal a special place is really our dedicated team and their genuine desire to make an impact on the kids they serve, their families, and our community as a whole.”
Comprehensive Childhood Development Services
Basal Therapies & Preschool is able to provide their effective programs thanks to their focus on the five developmental domains:
Cognition: How your child thinks and learns
Communication: How your child understands and uses verbal and non-verbal forms of communication
Adaptive Skills: How your child uses self-help activities to improve their health and safety
Motor Development: The ways your child moves and manipulates their environment using gross and fine motor skills
Social-Emotional Skills: How your child learns to make sense of emotions and develops meaningful relationships with others
Ferro emphasized this focus, saying, “We are able to support kids and families with wrap-around care. We draw on the experiences and expertise our team brings to not only aid in each child’s development, but really to walk alongside our families, celebrating gains, big and small, by their side.”
The team at Basal Therapies & Preschool puts their years of experience into providing these top-quality services:
Pediatric Occupational Therapy
Pediatric Speech Therapy
Pediatric Mental Health
Pediatric Outpatient Feeding Program
Parenting Education
Therapy in community settings
Parental Involvement
Every provider on the team understands that families seeking pediatric therapy often feel isolated, overwhelmed, and intimidated. They hope parents will view the process of getting their children adequate help will feel more like a partnership than a battle. Basal Therapies & Preschool actively encourages parents to play an active role in their child’s development. This encouragement comes from the understanding that for a child to succeed, families need to be involved and informed. When everyone is on the same page, there will be a clear understanding of what kind of pediatric therapy is recommended for each child, how it will be implemented, and how success will be measured.
All About Community
Basal Therapies & Preschool recognizes that their success is largely dependent on the community they serve. That’s why they provide support and host events whenever possible. One of their most popular events is their PJs & Prizes event, which invites families to enjoy games, crafts, and other activities. Previous community partners for this event include family support services, therapy dog groups, libraries, and more.
A unique aspect of this group’s approach to child development is their community-based services. These are therapies provided by licensed providers at community locations, such as schools and child care centers. This model provides the opportunity to bring a child’s therapies into real-world situations and environments, promoting carryover and partnership with their caregivers and teachers.
They also frequently hold donation drives and host hangouts that give children the opportunity to take part in activities like Charades, Pictionary, crafts, and even movie nights. For a look at upcoming hangouts, you can visit their Group Programs page.
One other upcoming service Basal Therapies & Preschool will be offering is birthday parties. Parents will be able to reserve rooms to celebrate these important milestones in their children’s lives. While a dedicated page will be added to their website in the near future, anyone who would like to learn more or book early can contact them directly.
Happy Children, Happy Parents
Basal Therapies & Preschool has received a high amount of praise in the time they’ve been open, thanks to a commitment to their core values and the children they serve. One parent left a glowing review that stated, “Basal Therapies provides unmatched patience and expertise coupled with a new approach in multiple care settings. We’re deeply grateful for their dedication to giving our kids a voice!”
Another parent had these words to share: “Parenting kids with special needs can often feel like a lonely undertaking, but since our girls started therapy at Basal, I finally feel like we have a team that has our backs. Our therapists have been beyond amazing and so beautifully achieve the perfect balance of research-based intervention while still treating our girls like the individuals they are. Our therapy team at Basal is also next level when it comes to collaboration with each other and our family in working towards the goal of our girls becoming the best versions of themselves. We are so thankful to be part of the Basal family!”

Basal Therapies & Preschool is always looking forward to what’s next. With preschool registration in full swing, they’re planning a fun- and education-filled year for the children who enroll. Beyond that, parents and community members can look forward to other upcoming events, of which details will be shared in the future.

“More and more leaders realize that improving clinical data management processes can drive cost savings across the board,” said Raghu Bukkapatnam, Chief Growth Officer at Q-Centrix. “Depending on its size, a health system can spend anywhere from $10 million to more than $50 million on clinical data management activities every year. Assessing what they spend, understanding what kind of return they get from their investments, and identifying inefficiencies are simple ways to improve financial performance.”
To that end, Q-Centrix executives identified three key strategies hospital and health system leaders are exploring to mitigate financial pressures throughout the rest of 2024.
Hospitals are seeking refuge from continued cost pressure with AI solutions, but the safe integration of generative AI is a long-term endeavor, not a quick fix to shrink spending.
Q-Centrix’s 2024 State of the Industry Report notes that 79% of healthcare facilities use or plan to use AI technologies to curate clinical data, whether internally or through a third party—and for nearly half of these respondents, their primary goal for using AI in this way is reducing administrative burden on staff. With administrative tasks costing the U.S. healthcare system $60 billion dollars each year, AI has great potential to save time and lower costs. However, the risk an AI model introduces compared to an individual’s impact is exponential.
Brian Foy, Chief Product Officer at Q-Centrix, anticipates that many leaders within the hospital setting are looking to AI to solve their budgetary concerns but are underestimating its risks.
“The potential that AI presents is huge, but it comes at a cost: substantive risk. Models create model-sized problems; inevitably, someone is going to be in the headlines because LLMs broke something that negatively impacted a large patient population. The only way to avoid the risk is with precision—but precision at scale is extraordinarily complex, and it requires a combination of access, technology, and human intervention. Unless hospitals are willing to take a thoughtful, long-term AI approach that includes all these elements—or partner with an organization that has a proven track record for exploring AI safely—they may need to consider other ways to reduce costs.”
Alternatively, to address rising expenses, hospitals are exploring new growth options in areas traditionally seen as cost centers, such as quality. Leveraging clinical data sets from registries for research offers new opportunities to drive advancements and generate revenue.
Three-quarters of hospital leaders Q-Centrix surveyed said their facility is currently sharing or plans to share de-identified clinical data with other organizations for research purposes. Yet almost two-thirds of clinical trials fail to enroll enough patients for an effective study.
“Hospitals sit on a mountain of data that can be used for research, and leaders are starting to realize how much value that data holds for the communities they serve,” said Victor Wang, Q-Centrix’s Senior Vice President of Data and Research. “Exploring these types of expansions of their clinical data usage has great potential for hospitals: they can contribute to life-saving research, offer patients early access to innovative treatments, and stay competitive. Providing their data for funded research opportunities opens up entirely new revenue streams for hospitals.”
The ability to access structured, flexible, and custom clinical data sets is essential for health system leaders seeking innovative ways to leverage their data. But when most clinical data is unstructured and siloed throughout the health system, centralizing data management is paramount.
Q-Centrix found that nearly eight in 10 hospitals are currently centralizing or planning to centralize clinical data management throughout a region, service line, or facility. This strategy allows healthcare facilities to save costs, drive efficiencies, and gain unparalleled access to their data.
“We’re seeing more leaders explore their clinical data use cases,” explained Bukkapatnam. “We’ve found that any effective strategy begins with an enterprise approach and ends with a clinical data warehouse. When leaders centralize data management processes, they can transform their data from disparate, unstructured information to clean, actionable data sets with endless uses.”
Q-Centrix, the industry’s largest provider of enterprise clinical data management solutions, stated in its 2024 State of the Industry report that 2024 is the year to start seeing healthcare differently. That statement still holds true for the remainder of 2024 as hospitals and health system leaders navigate industry changes and challenges. This shifting landscape presents a unique opportunity to pursue new strategies for growth and innovation.
About Q-Centrix Q-Centrix sees clinical data differently—as custom data sets with infinite possibilities.
Providing the industry’s first Enterprise Clinical Data Management (eCDM™) approach, Q-Centrix combines technology, the largest and broadest team of clinical data experts, and insights from its more than 1,200 partners to help improve patient outcomes and drive process and performance improvement, strategic growth, and operational efficiency.

Announcement of national social impact campaign to drive health outcomes for women using yoga and mindfulness. Campaign Benefits Dress for Success New Orleans & Grace House of Memphis
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Freedom at The Mat (FaTM) launched its first-ever social impact campaign, “The 1440 Free Women Movement,” (1440) to reduce women’s stress levels & risk of stress-related illnesses at its Freedom Fête Juneteenth event this summer in New Orleans. Targeting June 2025 as the campaign’s conclusion, FaTM will donate $14,400 to nonprofit partners, Grace House of Memphis “In Need Fund,” and Dress For Success New Orleans ongoing support of women getting back on their feet. The campaign’s success will be measured by FaTM’s increase of its YouTube channel subscribers by 4,000, video viewership by 10,000 views, wellness mats purchases by 400, and in-person class attendance by 200.
The 1440 Free Women campaign, themed “Your Wellness, Her Freedom,” is an invitation to all women to free themselves of emotional and physical baggage (including traumas, life-distracting relationships, and body weight) through yoga, journaling, meditation & mindfulness. The campaign counts women as free who 1) watch a selfcare video on Freedom at The Mat’s YouTube channel, 2) purchase a Freedom Art Wellness & Yoga Mat or Towel or 3) attend an in-person FaTM wellness class. Freedom at The Mat is a Louisiana-based Benefit corporation which is a trusted resource for women globally who are in restoration, whether from work addiction, people pleasing, substance abuse, domestic violence or sex trafficking. Campaign progress is posted on FreedomAtTheMat.com’s 1440 Campaign page on the 1st of each month.
“The 1440 Free Women Movement highlights the solutions yoga + community bring to the problems so many women face today. Many of the women served by Dress for Success New Orleans are facing homelessness, domestic abuse, trafficking, substance abuse, and major health issues often caused by the immense stress they are under. Self-care is a core principle Dress for Success New Orleans shares with the women we serve, and the clear benefits yoga and meditation techniques have are profound,” says Lori Byargeon, Dress for Success New Orleans, Executive Director.
The number 1440 is significant as it is the number of minutes comprising one complete day, suggesting a sense of fullness and abundance in time and opportunities. For women, 1440 can represent the idea of embracing each moment fully and finding peace and grace in the passage of time. Additionally, it can also symbolize the abundance of blessings, possibilities, and positive energy available to women as they navigate their lives and pursue their dreams. In numerology, 1440 can be seen as a combination of the numbers 1, 4, and 0, each contributing its own significance. The number 1 represents new beginnings and leadership, 4 symbolizes stability and practicality, and 0 signifies wholeness and infinite potential.
