Henry Schein ROI Proposal
Dentists Against Diabetes aims to introduce a diabetes screening program to dental offices to improve early diagnosis and treatment of diabetes. The program would provide dental offices with diabetes risk assessment kits to administer to patients to screen for risk and signs of undiagnosed diabetes. If a patient is at risk, the dentist can recommend they take a Diabetes Risk Assessment test kit home. The resulting report would provide the patient's risk level and advice to see their doctor if needed. This program could generate additional revenue for dental offices from kit sales while improving patient care and strengthening the relationship between dentists and the medical community.

Patient congestion in ED
The document discusses strategies to reduce congestion in emergency departments (EDs) through increased patient involvement and addressing gaps in service. It identifies four key gaps: listening, planning, service delivery, and communications. Recommendations include actively listening to patients, involving them in care planning and policy changes, designing the ED for efficiency, ensuring appropriate staffing and resource allocation, educating patients on proper ED use, and strengthening communication between EDs, primary care providers, and patients. The overall aim is to close gaps and improve the patient experience through a coordinated, patient-centered approach.
GP Access Manifesto v5 (1)
This document describes how general practices can become "demand-led" by understanding and responding to predictable patient demand for appointments. It outlines a model called MEPRA - measure, predict, respond, adjust - to collect data on demand patterns, predict future demand, respond to demand in real-time by offering various appointment options like phone or online consultations, and continuously adjust to shifting demand patterns. Practices that implement this demand-led approach report benefits like improved access for patients, reduced DNA rates, and greater control and productivity for GPs. The key is flexibility to meet each patient's individual needs rather than a rigid supply-led system of limited pre-booked appointment slots.
Ward Handover & Patient Discharge Solution
Ward Handover enables a more efficient handover of patients between shifts enabling a more effective patient discharge process. The solution is split into two parts, based around 6PM's CareSolutions database:
Ward Handover System:
A proven ward handover application which enables clinical staff to maximize their care time whilst delivering a single view of the patient by allowing them to enter the discharge notes into a single location that may be accessed by all clinical teams involved in the patient's care – including doctors, ward nurses, specialist nurses and Allied health Professionals. The system therefore allows predictability of bed utilization to maximize their occupancy and assists the bed management team in proactive assessment whilst reducing overall costs of related activities.
Patient Discharge Reporting:
The second part of the solution is real time reporting. The solution takes feeds from the Trust's CRS application every 15 minutes regarding patient status and predicted discharge dates which is then used to create a number of reports for ward staff regarding the workload and patient status. These reports can then be viewed either by ward staff or by consultants.
San_Antonio_Case_Study_12.22
The San Antonio Metropolitan Health District clinic implemented a new fee collection process that increased weekly revenues from around $900 to nearly $5,000. They standardized the language used by staff and asked patients to pay their full bill or what they could afford. However, revenues decreased after the staff member overseeing the process changed roles and the clinic reverted to the old practices due to a lack of formal procedures. Key lessons included designating an owner of the process and creating formal policies to sustain changes.
Final paper sent to printer
This document provides recommendations to improve new patient wait times for the NeuroMedicine Pain Management Program (NMPMP) at the University of Rochester Medical Center. It analyzes scheduling and billing data from January 2011 to June 2013. The regional market assessment found 40 competing pain clinics, with most having wait times over 14 days, which is the standard set by URMFG. Analysis of NMPMP data showed the current wait time is 30 days, below the desired 80% of new patients seen within 14 days. Adding provider capacity through hiring a nurse practitioner is recommended to reduce wait times while maintaining financial viability.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.The Nervous and Chemical Regulation of Respiration

FQHC Added Same Day Appointment Slots While Reducing No-Shows
- 1. Adding same-day appointment slots without additional headcount. Executive Summary With over 5 locations serving over 15,000 patients, an FQHC was looking for ways to reduce no-shows and create additional same-day appointment slots. As the FQHC engaged patients via SimplifiMed, it was able to add 45 additional same-day appointment slots every week. Challenges The FQHC previously used Athenahealth’s SMS reminder functionality. This solution required patients to call the clinic to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Unfortunately many patients do not get the time to call back the clinic during normal office hours. As a result, the clinic had a high no-show rate and a long waiting list. The FQHC was looking for an Athena integrated solution. Process Going live with SimplifiMed was a 10-minutes process. As the practice went live across 5 sites, patients started to get SMS reminders to confirm, cancel, or reschedule appointments. Results & Next Steps Over 70% patients responded back to SimplifiMed’s reminders. All the transactions were committed directly in Athena without any manual intervention. As patients canceled or rescheduled appointments, every week, 45 additional slots became available for same-day or next-day visits. This added up to over $120,000 additional revenue opportunity. In the next phases of deployment, the FQHC is using SimplifiMed to recall and schedule patients for preventive care. For more information please mail us at success@simplifimed.com The case study describes how an FQHC boosted patient response rate to over 70%. This resulted in 45 additional same-day appointment slots every week and over $120,000 per year revenue opportunity.
