MediNotes Releases Charting Plus 4.5 Electronic Health Record Update

MediNotes Releases Charting Plus 4.5 Electronic Health Record Update

New features continue to escalate usability of popular EHR program, Charting Plus™

(PRWEB) February 5, 2005

MediNotes Corporation is pleased to announce the recent release of Charting Plus™ 4.5. This release marks the 8th upgrade to Charting Plus™ since its inception in 1997. Version 4.5 includes improvements to the existing functionality, as well as several new features that will benefit physicians and their staff. “Most of the enhancements made to this release of Charting Plus™ are a direct result of suggestions made by our clients,” explains Don Schoen, CEO of MediNotes.

Having focused on the small market segment (1-10 physicians) MediNotes continues to expand the features of Charting Plus and now offers 16 specialties for physicians to choose from. Don Schoen added, “We are continuing to make improvements to the program and simplifying the interface to ensure that it is effective and user-friendly.”

Enhancements to Charting Plus 4.5

Charting Plus™ 4.5 includes various enhancements, including: improved control of left/right descriptors in ophthalmic objects, enhanced control of batch printing functionality, a more organized and readable way to import lab results, a new Object Navigator to facilitate easier use of Object Explorer, a graphical signature that can be used with a signature macro, and the ability to customize letterhead with graphics, fonts and other formatting.

The 4.5 release of Charting Plus also allows an integration with PrimetimeÂ’s Instant Medical History and several diagnostic packages from Welch Allyn.

Instant Medical History

The integration with Primetime Medical Software’s Instant Medical History™ enables patients to enter their own medical information electronically and, when completed, will populate the history and chief complaint sections of Charting Plus™. “ By bringing the medical information directly into Charting Plus,™ Instant Medical History™ will save physicians, on average, 4 minutes per patient,” states Matthew Ferrante, President, Primetime Medical Software.

Charting Plus integrates very tightly with IMH, allowing information to be imported as discrete data - identical to the data stored the programÂ’s native object structure. Instant Medical History is available through MediNotes Corporation.

Welch-Allyn ECG and Vital Signs

MediNotes Corporation has partnered with Welch-Allyn to bring physicians yet another way to spend more time with their patients. The Welch-Allyn Vital Signs interface allows physicians to obtain a patient’s blood pressure, temperature, blood oxygenation and pulse, and pull the results into Charting Plus™ by simply selecting a “capture” button. “This interface is another time saver for our clients,” states MediNotes CEO, Don Schoen. “It adds speed and accuracy to tests that are already being conducted in most medical offices.” The ECG interface captures the patient’s ECG rhythm and stores it electronically for instant availability during future exams.

Welch Allyn equipment is available directly through Welch Allyn, while the interface can be purchased through MediNotes Corporation.

Orphanage Receives Nearly $1 Million from Private Donor

Orphanage Receives Nearly $1 Million from Private Donor

Whole Child International, a nonprofit public charity, received another $300,000 in donations from network marketing icon, Tom Mower, making total contributions an incredible $850,000 to date. This significant act of generosity has ignited a frenzy of contributions by others.

Springville, UT (PRWEB) August 6, 2009

Tom Mower Sr., a renown scientist and extraordinary marketing visionary, grew his multi-level marketing company from nothing into one of the largest health and nutrition organizations of all time. Then, in 2006, he sold it and started over. Now, with over $100 million invested into his new company, SISEL International is destined to become even greater. But that's not all Tom is investing in. Along the way, he's giving back to millions of underprivileged children who spend their childhoods in orphanages and often don't even know their names.

It is a heart-wrenching scene. Throughout the world, millions of children without parents are crammed into underfunded orphanages where caregivers come and go and human contact is brief and impersonal. No names. No eye contact. It is, essentially, life on an assembly line. In fact, many of these children spend 23 ½ hours in a crib with little or no interaction. What will become of them?

Five years ago, Karen Gordon set out to change that. She started a 501(C)(3) public charity called Whole Child International to improve the quality of care and bring basic conditions to a level at which childcare reform can occur. Karen has been featured in major media venues including; Glamour Magazine, NBC TV, Reader's Digest, Good Morning America, and Forbes Magazine.

It was in Forbes Magazine that the story of Whole Child caught the attention of Tom Mower, who had always wanted to do something similar. Tom immediately called Karen to offer help. He thanked Karen for her unselfish humanitarian efforts and instantly donated $250K in 2007, then $300K in 2008, and most recently, $300K in 2009. "For me, it's an opportunity to do something really worthwhile," Mower said. "This is the most valuable charity I've ever seen. I'm impressed with how much money goes straight to the orphans and not to administrative costs."

But what is even more remarkable is that this was only the beginning; other contributors have begun to follow Tom's example. His leadership, generosity, and good will, has now been multiplied exponentially. Since he began donating, Karen has been able to attract contributions from several other corporations and individuals around the world. And a personal invitation by Tom has made it possible for thousands of SISEL customers, distributors, and employees to participate by donating when they purchase SISEL's unique products or through Tom's own charity, Earth Stewardship Foundation.

About SISEL International:
SISEL is an extraordinary network marketing company dedicated to developing and manufacturing powerful nutritional and personal care products based on solid science. The company's mission is to provide unique, one-of-a-kind health products that don't contain potentially harmful ingredients found in common commercial products.

Enlightenment or Armageddon -- Are We at the Brink? Social Anthropologists Discover Two Worlds

Enlightenment or Armageddon -- Are We at the Brink? Social Anthropologists Discover Two Worlds

After the tipping point comes the flip. People are polarized. Headlines scream bad news and spread fear. We are living hectic, chaotic lives in an upside-down world. It needn't be this way. Millions of people have already made the flip to a healthier, more mindful existence where people understand and value each other.

Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) June 15, 2006

Self-proclaimed social anthropologists Jared Rosen and David Rippe have discovered two worlds that exist side by side. One is an upside-down world where people feel harried, fearful, and powerless to change their lives. No matter what they do, they’re headed toward a hopelessly polluted future where unaffordable health care, unethical corporations offering meaningless work, scarcity of natural resources, unhealthy food and entertainment choices, and war seem unavoidable. This upside-down world seems poised at the brink of Armageddon.

The other is a world that is right side up. People in this world know that emotional and spiritual wellbeing, meaningful work, natural health, global prosperity, renewable natural resources, and feeling connected to others is possible. These people know that their individual choices affect the lives of everyone else on the planet. The people of the Right Side Up world celebrate life as they herald an age of enlightenment.

Both of these worlds exist today. Humanity stands on a bridge between them, and we must choose to go in one direction or the other. Enter The Flip: Turn Your World Around by Jared Rosen and David Rippe. It’s an enthusiastic users’ manual with real-world examples of the simple changes at work, at home, in relationships, and in entertainment, eating, and health choices that millions of people are already making -- and you can too.

The Flip features visionary wisdom from luminaries in the fields of science, government, business, entertainment, and politics, including Nobel Peace Prize winner Oscar Arias, popular media icons Daryl Hannah and Ed Begley, Jr., and best-selling authors with cumulative sales of more than 55 million books, such as John Gray, Barbara De Angelis, Gary Zukav, Ken Pelletier, John Robbins, Patricia Aburdene, and Byron Katie.

The Flip documents the changes affecting every area of our lives:

From symptom-masking synthetic pills whose side effects kill 108,000 Americans annually. . . to integrative medicine focused on holistic wellness, now widely available as a result of grassroots consumer demand From junk food laden with sugars, fats, and untested chemicals that has contributed to the American obesity epidemic and a tenfold increase in childhood diabetes since 1985 . . . to the success story of companies like Newman’s Own Organics and Whole Foods Market and the nearly 63 million active American consumers of organic, natural and healthy products From a dangerous energy dependence on polluting oil, which leads to global warming and in turn to natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina. . . to clean, renewable energy sources like wind power, which already provides Germany with 30% of its electricity. The American Great Plains has enough potential wind power to meet the electricity requirements of the entire country!

As Rosen and Rippe tells us “The flip is occurring whether we embrace it or not, whether we believe it or not. The question is whether you will be a willing participant and active proponent of the flip, or if will you struggle to hang on to an outmoded, broken world that serves the darker parts of our being. By choosing to believe in the possibilities of the human spirit, by embracing the flip, you can become free to express yourself and work for a balanced world and a whole-hearted life.”

About the Authors

Jared Rosen is the coauthor of Inner Security and Infinite Wealth, and the founder of Dreamsculpt, an organization dedicated to catalyzing authentic and soulful expression in the entertainment industry.

David Rippe is founder and president of Celestia International, a strategic marketing communications and creative services firm. Rippe is also the author of The Journals trilogy under the pseudonym R. T. Stone.

Giving Green Gifts New Trend at Baby Showers This Spring

Giving Green Gifts New Trend at Baby Showers This Spring

With the environment hot on everyone's minds, moms-to-be are increasingly concerned with keeping baby safe with earth friendly and organic baby products. This spring, mothers-to-be are requesting environmentally friendly baby showers featuring organic and other earth friendly products.

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 28, 2008

Across the United States, people from all lifestyles are trying to do their part to become more earth friendly. A recent trend is the environmentally friendly baby shower that showers mom and baby with healthy, organic and non-toxic products.

"My husband and I are hoping to raise our baby in a toxic free environment and will use organic baby products (http://www. mobilemoms. com/organic-baby-products-information. htm) wherever possible," comments Jackie Johnson from Portland, Maine. "When my sister offered to host a shower, I asked her to make it an environmentally friendly theme so that friends and family could help our baby get off to an earth friendly start."

Today, there are many organic baby products (http://www. mobilemoms. com/Organic-Clothing-Products-53-cat. htm) and other environmentally friendly baby products on the market. "We are really noticing a rise in sales of organic baby products like organic cotton baby clothes and natural baby bathing essentials," says Eva Centeno, owner of Mobile Moms.

"We stock a full range of earth friendly and organic baby products helping friends, family and moms make the healthiest choice for baby. I often suggest to customers that they create an environmentally friendly gift basket to give the mom at the shower. It can be filled with products for both mom and baby like organic essential oils to help mom with stretch marks and an adorable organic cotton sleeper that feels so cozy next to baby's delicate skin," Centeno concludes.

Any friend or family member wanting to host an earth friendly baby shower should ask the mom-to-be to make a list of products she would like to receive. That way, gift giving is easy for those attending the shower.

QuadrantONE Doubles Its Size, Expands to More Than 250 Newspapers

The Newspaper Consortium, a consortium of 26 newspaper companies, will add 138 web sites to quadrantONE (www. quadrantone. com), an online advertising alliance formed in February by four of the country's largest media companies.

CHICAGO (PRWEB) March 20, 2008

 quadrantONE allows advertisers, for the first time, to buy hundreds of well-established and trusted online newspaper and broadcasting sites by placing a single order. It is owned by Tribune Company; Gannett Co., Inc.; Hearst Corporation; and The New York Times Company.

The consortium newspapers will become affiliates of quadrantONE, devoting guaranteed inventory on their sites to deliver premium audiences to advertisers seeking national, regional and local reach.

W. Scripps Company and others.

"In joining quadrantONE, The Newspaper Consortium takes another giant, logical step in uniting much of the newspaper industry for the benefit of audiences and advertisers," said Michael Romaner, president of Morris Communication's Morris DigitalWorks and co-chair of the consortium's steering committee. "Over the last year, our partnership with Yahoo! has driven significant employment revenue for many of our members and set the stage for a continuing series of content and sales initiatives. Together, we are moving quickly into an exciting online future."

"Online, as in print, many of our newspapers provide the primary, most trusted source of news and advertising in our communities, creating an ideal audience with maximum impact for advertisers," he said. He noted that in many consortium markets, the printed newspaper and its online site reach more than 70 percent of all adults.

The newspaper and broadcast sites in the network represent in excess of 70 million unique monthly visitors.

Men's Coupons Sites Soar in Second Quarter '09

Men's Coupons Sites Soar in Second Quarter '09

As the economy slowed and families had to dig deeper this Spring to make ends meet, coupon focused web sites have seen tremendous growth, especially one specific site that caters to unlikely users - men.

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) May 26, 2009

As the economy slowed and families had to dig deeper this Spring to make ends meet, coupon focused web sites have seen tremendous growth, especially one specific site that caters to unlikely users - men.

A quick review of Google News under the keyword "coupons" will show thousands of recent media mentions, all talking about how shoppers are taking advantage of online discounts, said Traci Dean, owner of MensCouponClub. com. "We focus on helping men who find it difficult to shop online or are too busy and want to find good deals in one place," she said.

Dean reports Second Quarter '09 sales for MensCouponClub. com will be an estimated 75% more than the Second Quarter '08 results. The site has also added approximately 500 additional e-commerce merchants this year and is working directly with affiliate managers to provide custom coupons for its customers.

"We have recommendations to what women want, suggestions made by women, and by the same token, for women using our site, we have recommendations for what men like, suggestions made by men," Dean said.

Stereotypes don't apply these days when it comes to using coupons and saving money at the grocery store or online, according to retiree Martin De La Montainge, of Tampa. "I'm happy to save money anyway I can. The only coupons I used in the past were found in Sunday newspapers, however, I found MensCouponClub. com that sends a weekly email containing many coupons for different products that fit my needs. Occasionally I will see a coupon for a product that I have never used before and the discount provided by the coupon is an incentive for me to purchase the product and try it at least once."

MensCouponClub. com works with reputable merchants and adds exclusive coupons every month in many different categories such as: Sports & Fitness, Electronics; Health; Apparel and many others. The owners of MensCouponClub. com also run CouponsandSportsBlog. com to compliment their services and give its visitors updates on major sports related stories mixed with deals they might like.

Immunoxel Approved in South Africa

Immunoxel Approved in South Africa

Ukrainian immunotherapeutic product Immunoxel (Dzherelo) has been granted approval in South Africa. This approval will allow immediate sales of the Ekomed phytoconcentrate as an immune adjuvant for TB and HIV treatment.

Kiev, Ukraine (PRWEB) May 25, 2009

Ekomed LLC announces exciting milestone in its expansion of botanical products to markets outside of Ukraine. Dzherelo is now classified under complementary medicines category by the Medicine Control Council (MCC) of the Department of Health of the Republic of South Africa. Negotiations are now underway with potential partners to initiate marketing of Dzherelo in South Africa.

Dzherelo and its improved version known as Immunoxel are top-selling herbal supplements in Ukraine. This year it has been approved in its first Asian market country, Mongolia, where sales have successfully started last month.

Immunoxel has been shown to be safe and very effective in a variety of clinical conditions including but not limited to seasonal flu, influenza, acute respiratory infections, tuberculosis, hepatitis, HIV, autoimmune conditions, and malignancies.

Drug-resistant TB is on the rise throughout the world and is most frequently seen in the countries of the former Soviet Union, Asia and Africa. The South Africa has highest number of TB cases on the continent, especially MDR and XDR TB cases. The latter form of TB caused worldwide concern after 2007 outbreak in Kwazulu Natal province of South Africa where 52 of 53 patients (98%) with XDR tuberculosis and HIV co-infection had died within 2 weeks from the time of diagnosis.

Conventional TB chemotherapy success rates are significantly lower in patients with MDR and XDR-TB also known as Multi Drug Resistant and Extensively Drug Resistant TB. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) surveys indicated that in the worst-affected countries, 10 percent of MDR-TB cases were XDR-TB. Current treatment of drug resistant TB can take up to 18-24 months. The disease is difficult and expensive to treat and outcomes are frequently poor. No new classes of anti-TB drugs were introduced in past 40 years and existing drugs are practically useless against drug-resistant TB.

The Ekomed Director, Mr. Volodymyr Pylypchuk commented: "South Africa is burdened by one of the worst tuberculosis and HIV epidemics in the world. Our commercial partner Zodiac Capital has been working diligently and we are very excited to announce that that their effort paid off. Our Immunoxel works through completely novel immune mechanism and to the best of our knowledge is the only and most effective adjuvant to TB and AIDS drugs. The approach that we have developed drastically shortens treatment duration and can save countless lives right now. Our clinical studies conducted in Ukraine during last ten years have shown convincingly that we can offer reliable, cost-effective solution to the global TB and HIV crisis. In addition to immediate marketing we are also planning independent scientific studies in South Africa. Our aim is to collaborate with leading hospitals and universities and to share with them our unique expertise. We are confident that results from these trials will provide further support to earlier published findings in Ukraine."

About Ekomed
Ekomed is the leading phytopharmaceutical company in Ukraine and is firmly committed to the development of immune therapies that offer superior advantage in treating TB, HIV, hepatitis, and influenza. Ekomed's efforts to develop adjunctive therapies have been under way since late 1980's. Ekomed began its HIV research back in 1998 and TB research even earlier. Ekomed is one of very few botanical companies that are committed to scientifically-sound clinical and basic research. Ekomed strives to ensure affordable access to phyto-medicines for infectious diseases and other illnesses. Ekomed is also committed to seeking expanded access to people living in the world's poorest countries and those hardest hit by the AIDS and TB epidemics. For more information, visit http://www. ekomed. com. ua (http://www. ekomed. com. ua)

About Zodiac Capital
Last year Ekomed has established a global marketing partnership with Zodiac Capital Limited - a publicly traded investment group listed in Australia. This relationship may potentially assure worldwide global access to the range of Ekomed products and especially Immunoxel, for those who have limited or no treatment options.

Daren Jorgenson, founder of Canadameds. com and pioneer of the online pharmacy industry, continues to be a leader when it comes to offering the 45 million un-insured and under-insured American patients with reliable and affordable prescription medications from Canada and around the world.

(PRWEB) September 20, 2005

Daren Jorgenson, Founder of www. Canadameds. com and pioneer of the online pharmacy industry, continues to be a leader when it comes to offering the 45 million un-insured and under-insured American patients with reliable and affordable prescription medications from Canada and around the world.

Since December of 1999, Daren JorgensonÂ’s group of pharmacies have been providing prescription medications to thousands of patients all across the U. S. with Canadameds. com being one of the first online pharmacies to offer international options when companies such as Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline restricted supply to Canadian wholesalers and pharmacies so that patients in the U. S. could continue to obtain prescription medications that are essential to their health and well being without sacrificing their quality of life.

“We are always trying to offer the best prices and the most reliable alternatives to our patients in the United States and in doing so, we were able to recognize at a very early stage, that although prescription drug prices in Canada are significantly lower than they are in the United States, there are several other regions around the world that offer reliable prescription medications, manufactured by the same companies that offer prescription medications in the United States at an even lower price than what is available in Canada," says Jorgenson.

In the spring of 2004, Canadameds. com launched a new technology, which was developed in house that led to the new Canadameds. com slogan, “Not Just from Canada anymore. You chose the country and you chose the savings.” The new technology allows Jorgenson’s group of pharmacies to offer prescription prices from multiple regions such as Canada, Israel, Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States so that our customers may maximize their savings.

Many of JorgensonÂ’s competitors have since followed his lead and are offering international options on their sites but what they fail to offer and something that is unique to Canadameds. com and JorgensonÂ’s group of companies is a U. S. option through a licensed American Pharmacy.

“Although a majority of the long term chronic care medications are priced higher in the United States than any other developed country in the world, there are exceptions," says Jorgenson. "We offer our patients the option of ordering multiple medications from multiple regions, including the United States so that they may maximize their savings.”

As an example Jorgenson says, “The best price that any of our competitors offer on generic Prozac (Fluoxetine Hydrochloride) is $38.94 U. S. for 90 capsules and some are charging as high as $144.53 U. S. for the same product. Canadameds. com provides a price from 6 different countries, including the United States and our price from our U. S. pharmacy is $12.03 U. S. for 100 capsules, which is significantly lower than any of our competitors. We are completely transparent in our dealings with our customers and make every effort possible to offer our patients with the best service and best prices available. I’m not sure how some of our competitors can justify charging $144.53 U. S. for something that can be purchased in the United States for just over $10.00 U. S. I encourage everyone to visit our website www. canadameds. com and review what the price of your medications would be from multiple regions, including the United States so you can maximize your savings. Just because you are ordering from an online pharmacy in Canada, doesn’t mean the price will automatically be less, there are drugs that are priced lower in the United States and that is why we offer multiple regions with multiple prices so you always know you are getting the medication at the best price available," says Jorgenson.

We encourage all American politicians, health care providers and citizens to express their concerns and comments regarding costly American drug prices by fax to 1-204-947-9153 or by mail to 885 Main Street, Winnipeg, MB. Canada, R2W 3P2.

Rauland-Borg Addresses Patient Safety Concern Over Pillow Speakers in Oxygen-Enriched Healthcare Environments

Rauland-Borg Addresses Patient Safety Concern Over Pillow Speakers in Oxygen-Enriched Healthcare Environments

One of the primary patient safety issues when using non-approved pillow speakers in an oxygen-enriched environment is a fire hazard. This creates a potentially unsafe environment for patients in a healthcare facility. Rauland-Borg is the first and only current manufacturer of healthcare communications products to obtain this UL approval.

Skokie, IL (PRWEB) July 14, 2004

Rauland-Borg, the leader in nurse call communications, offers pillow speakers for the Responder® nurse call systems that are approved for use in oxygen-enriched environments by Underwriter Laboratories in accordance with the Hospital Signaling and Nurse Call Equipment standard (UL-1069). Rauland-Borg is the only nurse call vendor to currently offer this safety feature to healthcare facilities.

One of the primary patient safety issues when using non-approved pillow speakers in an oxygen-enriched environment is a fire hazard. This creates a potentially unsafe environment for patients in a healthcare facility.

Pillow speakers not deemed safe in oxygen rich environments contain the following caution: "CAUTION – Not For Use By Patients Undergoing Oxygen Therapy – Hang On Hook When Not in Use."

The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) states the following when considering patients receiving oxygen:

"Regardless of the method of oxygen administration employed, electrically operated pendant controls and call cords, including but not limited to those that carry the above caution statement, should not be used by patients undergoing oxygen therapy, unless the pendant control is specifically labeled for use by patients undergoing oxygen therapy."

From a risk management perspective, Carl Cox, Vice President of Engineering for Rauland-Borg states, "Rauland-Borg's unique ability to offer this feature addresses an important patient safety concern. Hospitals have the reassurance that their patients who are receiving oxygen treatment can safely use the pillow speakers to control the television, lights, and call and speak to the nursing staff."

Rauland-Borg is the first and only current manufacturer of healthcare communications products to obtain this UL approval.

About Rauland-Borg Corporation

For over 70 years, Rauland-Borg has been an industry leader in the design and manufacture of communications and life-safety equipment for institutional environments. RaulandÂ’s Responder combines traditional nurse call with the latest technology and management tools. Responder systems offer fast and flexible solutions for staff-to-staff and staff-to-patient communication, resulting in increased productivity and quality of patient care.

New Federal Court Winnings Against BCBS Prompting Provider Association To Be Certified Under New Federal Claims And Appeals Laws

New Federal Court Winnings Against BCBS Prompting Provider Association To Be Certified Under New Federal Claims And Appeals Laws

In Wake Of Recent Federal Court Favorable Rulings, The Ohio State Chiropractic Association (OSCA) And ERISAclaim. com Entered Agreement For Claims Specialists Certification Training Under New Federal Health Claims And Appeals Laws. As The First Healthcare Provider State Association In The Nation, OSCA Will Effectively Guide Its Members In Fighting Against Abusive And Discriminatory Claim Denials And Solving Overpayment Recoupment Crisis.

Hanover Park, IL (Vocus) November 8, 2010

In the wake of two latest Federal Court favorable rulings for the class action lawsuit against Blue Cross Blue Shield entities in all 50 states and in defending a lawsuit from BCBSRI over the alleged overpayment recoupment, and in light of new federal health claims and appeals law, effective September 23, 2010, the Ohio State Chiropractic Association (OSCA) has entered an agreement with ERISAclaim. com, a leading national ERISA and PPACA consulting firm, in order to be certified as ERISA - PPACA Claim Specialists under new federal health claims and appeals laws. This partnership for appeals compliance will enable OSCA to effectively guide its members to fight against abusive and discriminatory claim practice. The first of series of certificate classes will be held on November 18, 2010 in Columbus Ohio for OSCA’s ERISA-PPACA Committee members and leadership.

New federal health claims and appeals law, Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, PPACA, was signed into law by President Obama on March 23, 2010, and went into effect on September 23, 2010 bring the most significant changes in US healthcare history in the past 45 years since Medicare was created.

“OSCA will be the first provider State Association to be trained as the ERISA-PPACA Claims Specialists under the new federal health claims and appeals laws, effective September 23, 2010, for all health plans and individual policies nationwide” said Dr. Jin Zhou, President of ERISAclaim. com, a national expert on ERISA and PPACA compliance and claims appeals.

“With about 87% of employer-sponsored health plans providing coverage for chiropractic services, an essential healthcare benefit for American people, the Chiropractic Profession is now recognized and used as the #1 alternative healthcare provider in the USA. Yet we have experienced the most discriminatory claims reimbursement abuses from the payers. With the recent federal court victories solely based on federal ERISA law, we are finally convinced that new federal appeals law, PPACA, and existing federal ERISA law will help protection for our profession’s fair compensation in the healthcare market” declared Dr. Otto J. Schmidt, DC, OSCA 2011 President elect.

“Our members and chiropractic providers have been struggling and in need of urgent and effective guidance for prompt and optimal reimbursement for decades. The ERISA-PPACA Committee, a part of OSCA’s Insurance Committee, will receive the best education and training from ERISAclaim. com on ERISA and PPACA, and will serve as a compliance and reimbursement team to coach members across the state. Core benefits for OSCA membership will be practical and effective hands-on assistance to advocate medically appropriate chiropractic care, to appeal any and all claim denials and delays under applicable federal laws, on behalf of hard-working Americans, to establish a statewide databank for insurance coverage and policies, Summary Plan Description (SPD) for OSCA members to share for insurance coverage verification. These will be our preprimary goals”, declared Bharon Hoag, Executive Director of OSCA.

“As a part of our mandatory compliance with new federal claims and appeals laws, we will have no other choice but become an expert of ERISA and PPACA. Now federal courts have rewarded our compliance efforts for doing ERISA appeals from some of our members”, elaborated Dr. Judson G. Sprandel II, DC, OSCA Past President and proponent of this Agreement.

OSCA’s new initiative is well supported by recent federal court favorable ERISA rulings. On May 17, 2010, under ERISA law, the federal court in Chicago ruled to permit a national class-action lawsuit by chiropractors, some of them are members of OSCA, to proceed against 23 Blue Cross Blue Shield entities over the alleged overpayment recoupment in violation of federal law ERISA, in PCA et al v. BCBSA et al, Case # 1:09-cv-05619. On October 27, 2010, a federal court in Rhode Island ruled against Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island over its overpayment and fraud claims against two healthcare providers. The court ordered that federal law ERISA completely preempts BCBSRI’s state law claims for breach of PPO contract and fraud, and ERISA limits BCBSRI potential recoveries, in BCBSRI v. Jay Korsen, Case#: 1:09-cv-00317-L-LDA. Both of these lawsuits are represented by the top class-action law firm, the Pomerantz Firm in NY, a leader in the fight against abusive health insurance practices. ERISAclaim. com provided compliance assistance and litigation support in administrative appeals and judicial proceedings for both cases.

Located in Columbus, OH, the Ohio State Chiropractic Association (OSCA) is the leading Chiropractic State association with hundreds of Doctor Members statewide. OSCA represents its members through advocating and promoting chiropractic science and healthcare services, supporting and protecting its members through compliance assistance in claims educational guidance and appeals, and patient advocacy.

Who's Your Daddy? Shop Father's Day Gadgets by Dad Persona

Who's Your Daddy? Shop Father's Day Gadgets by Dad Persona

Extech Instruments, a subsidiary of FLIR Systems, Inc., (NASDAQ: FLIR) announces its annual Father's Day list of electronic test gadget gift ideas for every type of dad.

Waltham, MA (Vocus) June 16, 2009

Extech Instruments (http://www. extech. com/instruments) (http://www. extech. com (http://www. extech. com)]), a subsidiary of FLIR Systems, Inc., (NASDAQ: FLIR) announces its annual Father's Day (http://www. extech. com/instruments) list of electronic test gadget gift ideas (http://www. extech. com/instruments) for every type of dad. Inspired by Wired magazine's popular Geek Dad blog which recently featured Extech, the 2009 list suggests useful and affordable test tools for a variety of "dad personas." Use the list below to find your dad's persona and match him with a tester or meter he's sure to love:

Marathon Dad: Whether your dad is a daily jogger or he can't wait for the next triathlon, give him the Extech HeatWatch (HW30). This full-function stopwatch has an exclusive Heat Index alarm that factors temperature and humidity to alert Dad when poor air quality can put him at risk for heat cramps or heat stroke. Help your dad go the extra mile for health and safety on those hazy, hot and humid days. (Recommended by the National Health & Wellness Club.)

This Old Dad: If your father is addicted to home renovation or improvement or he is just generally handy like a pocket on a shirt, he deserves Extech's Wireless Circuit Identifier (RT30). This ingenious 2-way tester is ideal for any dad who needs to safely cut existing house wiring to add outlets, light fixtures, or new wiring drops. Using the RT30, he can always identify the correct circuit breaker to shut off before working on a particular wire in the attic, basement or walls. Usually a two-person job, the RT30 makes it easy for the man who insists, ''I'll do it myself.''

''We have the technology'' Dad: If you're dad insists on fixing all his electronic devices himself, or the smell of solder means he's building or re-building another electronic gadget of his own, he'll love Extech's Tweezer Tester (RC100). For anyone who works on electronics, this convenient tester's tweezer design makes it easy to test small circuit board components with one hand instead of using test leads. Tell Dad it measures resistance and capacitance and can test diodes -- he'll know what you're saying.

Hi-Def Dad: Is Dad constantly making adjustments or additions to his high-end audio/video system? To ensure his miles of wiring are all properly connected, introduce him to Extech's Continuity Tester Pro (CT20). This 2-piece kit permits one person to test wiring at both ends, making sure speaker wire polarity is not reversed, for example. In addition to cable, audio and video connections, your dad will love the CT20 for testing home network, telecom, alarm, automotive and electrical wiring. For home theaters and more, the CT20 will be music to Dad's ears.

Megapixel Dad: If your father is serious about photography, repeating stories about photo trips, f-stops and shutter speeds, having a light meter to accurately measure ambient lighting will light up his passion. Extech's EA31 EasyView® Big Digit Light Meter provides essential footcandle and Lux readings. The easy to read display is great on the eyes and the minimum/maximum feature helps Dad pinpoint dark or bright locations. Illuminate your Father's Day with the EA31.

Fine-Grit Dad: For a dad who loves woodworking, knowing the moisture content of his wood supply is as important as ''measuring twice, cutting once.'' Whether it's a 2x4 stud or fine cherry, wood that's too dry or too damp can ruin a great woodworking project. Extech's pocket-size moisture detector (MO100) is here to help. This compact pin-style meter gives your dad important moisture readings for wood and a variety of building materials, and also displays air temperature measurements. Fair warning: Dad may now use moisture content as an excuse to procrastinate on the honey-do list.

Collectible Dad: Some dads are crazy about collecting things like first-edition books, rare maps, coins or postage stamps. If your father enjoys taking a close look at the details of rare memorabilia, Extech offers a unique digital mini-microsope camera that provides incredibly fine images of whatever Dad likes to collect. The cellphone-sized MC108 displays incredibly crisp images on its color display and can also snap images like a digital camera for downloading via USB for sharing or archiving.

Fuel-Injected Dad: For dads that can't spend enough time on their cars, an invaluable tool for big and small electrical and electronic diagnostics is a good multimeter. Extech's rugged EX411 multimeter accurately provides all essential readings for auto and home. Plus, your dad will love Extech's exclusive built-in infrared thermometer for point-and-shoot, non-contact readings on a/c ducts, hoses, exhausts and more.

Harnessing the Power of Accountability Crucial in Achieving Success in Life and Business

Harnessing the Power of Accountability Crucial in Achieving Success in Life and Business

Keeping a mental list of goals for your business and personal life is not enough to make sure you actually achieve them--discovering and harnessing the power of accountability is the key. Clay S. Nelson will be hosting the next Personal Planning Workshop in Santa Barbara, California on September 15-16, 2007.

Santa Barbara, CA (PRWEB) July 13, 2007

As a business and life coach, Clay S. Nelson is oftentimes asked by his clients to take on the role of being an accountability partner.

"Asking for help with accountability is a crucial step when you're setting goals for your life or your business," Nelson explains. "Because without an accountability plan and team to help you stay on track, getting what you say you want will be unnecessarily difficult."

"Even though you've reached a place where you can articulate your wants and needs, it will still be easy for the distractions and circumstances of everyday life to get in your way, slow you down--even keep you from reaching your goals altogether!"

Participants of Nelson's two-day Personal Planning Workshop (http://www. claynelsonlifebalance. com/personalplanning. html) learn to use accountability to create the life and business they say they want, by:
Asking themselves "The Three Questions", which helps them identify what they really want and don't want in all domains of life Using Personal Planning Templates for writing down and tracking short term and long term goals. Tracking specific daily and weekly tasks. Getting present to and monitoring personal financial health. Building an accountability team to help them stay focused on the goals they set for themselves.

"No one, no matter how big or successful they might be, is big enough to accomplish all they want by being the lone ranger." Nelson continues, "We have to ask others for help, and the good news is that building your team can start right at home with your spouse and children."

"With the power of accountability to guide and drive you, you can discover the keys to having more time, more fun, and more freedom to do and have whatever you want for yourself, your family, and your business."

Nelson will be hosting the next Personal Planning Workshop in Santa Barbara, California on September 15-16, 2007. His company, Clay Nelson Life Balance, also offers the accountability tools utilized in the workshop in a single volume called the Accountability Workbook (http://www. claynelsonlifebalance. com/accountabilityworkbook. html), available from the Clay Nelson Life Balance web site as a PDF download, or as a printed and bound edition.

Two companion volumes are also available: the Business Planning Workbook (http://www. claynelsonlifebalance. com/businessplanningworkbook. html), which gives business owners and entrepreneurs the power to design their company's future, and the Marketing Workbook (http://www. claynelsonlifebalance. com/marketingworkbook. html), which helps the reader develop a marketing plan to reach objectives outlined in their business plan.

Clay S. Nelson founded Clay Nelson Life Balance to teach individuals and businesses how to set goals, target what impedes their achievement and implement plans that attain extraordinary results.

Evantage Consulting’s case study highlights how web analytics can be an effective catalyst for change and improve Marketing ROI.

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) October 18, 2006 –-

“Companies frequently fail to capitalize on the true value of their web analytics data,” according to Jennifer Veesenmeyer, senior marketing consultant with Evantage Consulting. “Pairing this data with critical business events and relevant offline data is the basis for meaningful reporting and optimized marketing campaigns.”

Evantage Consulting, presented a case study of one its clients, a leading regional law firm at the national Emetrics Summit (www. emetrics. org) in Washington, DC. This case study demonstrated how, in just a few months, a business went from a lot of data but little insight about their online marketing initiatives to a clear understanding of their online competitive position and improving it.

The process involved three steps. The first was to capture web analytics data most relevant to their business. The second involved linking that data with offline marketing data. The third step was to bring this data together into a highly visual and intuitive format in order that executives could grasp the key issues quickly. “This process transformed the results into information executives really wanted, and knew they could act on,” Ms. Veesenmeyer said.

World Trade Organization Ruling on GM Foods Signals Danger for DSHEA

World Trade Organization Ruling on GM Foods Signals Danger for DSHEA

An analysis of the wider implications of a recent World Trade Organization preliminary ruling on genetically-modified foods, and the relevance of this issue to the dangers posed by the Codex Guidelines for Vitamin and Mineral Food Supplements.

Plantation, FL (PRWEB) February 15, 2006

In May 2003 the United States, Canada and Argentina filed trade complaints against the European Union (EU) at the World Trade Organization (WTO). The complaints argued that the EU had essentially suspended the approval of GM foods since October 1998, and that this has prevented GM food products manufactured in the United States, Canada and Argentina from being imported into the EU.

The WTO issued its interim ruling on February 7, 2006, and found that the EU and six of its member states had violated international trade rules by barring entry to GM crops and foods. However, this ruling could yet have far wider implications.

Shortly prior to the filing of the three GM trade complaints an obscure international committee, the ad hoc Codex Intergovernmental Task Force on Foods Derived from Biotechnology, had submitted reports to the Codex Alimentarius Commission, in March 2002 and March 2003, recommending the adoption of four global guidelines it had drawn up regarding GM foods. An FAO/WHO-sponsored body, the Codex Alimentarius Commission subsequently met in Rome, Italy, in July 2003, and adopted these four guidelines as new global standards.

Because of the existence of these guidelines it was always possible that the EU would lose the three GM trade dispute cases. The WTO has increasingly been using Codex texts as the benchmark when ruling on international trade disputes, and, as such, the Dr. Rath Health Foundation believes that the WTO's ruling on GM foods could have profound implications regarding the future enforcement of the Codex Guidelines for Vitamin and Mineral Food Supplements.

The Codex Guidelines for Vitamin and Mineral Food Supplements were adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission in July 2005, and threaten, in time, to enforce tight restrictions upon the availability and dosages of vitamin and mineral supplements in all countries that are members of the WTO. Nevertheless, it is notable that many consumers, particularly in the United States, do not yet appreciate the reality of this danger.

Many people in the United States, for example, mistakenly believe that their access to vitamins and minerals is protected by the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA). In fact however, and in the same way that the four Codex guidelines on GM foods now threaten, via WTO enforcement, Europe's ability to maintain its bans on the import of GM food products, the Codex Guidelines for Vitamin and Mineral Food Supplements could eventually be used at the WTO to reduce the availability and dosages of vitamin and mineral supplements in the United States.

As such, the WTO's ruling on GM foods may come to serve as a timely awakening call for anybody who still believes that it is optional for countries to implement Codex texts into their national legislation. Just as importantly, however, it could also be a stark reminder of the increasingly prominent role played by the WTO in the bigger picture behind the 'business with disease'.

About the Dr. Rath Health Foundation:

Following scientific breakthroughs by our founder Dr. Matthias Rath and others in the field of vitamin research and cellular health, it is probable that cardiovascular diseases, cancer, Aids and other common health problems will be largely unknown to future generations.

As a result of this pioneering research, it is now possible to establish new forms of public health care systems that can be implemented simply and economically in any country, from local level right up to the level of national public health policy.

The Dr Rath Health Foundation is a not-for-profit entity established by Dr. Rath in order to advocate internationally for the achievement of these goals.

New OpenSSL Vulnerabilities Discovered

New OpenSSL Vulnerabilities Discovered

Vigilinx, the leading provider of independent, proactive security intelligence, today advised clients of the discovery of a potentially dangerous vulnerability in certain versions of OpenSSL code which enables encrypted communication on the Internet.

Parsippany, N. J. (PRWEB) August 3, 2002 -

Vigilinx, the leading provider of independent, proactive security intelligence, today advised clients of the discovery of a potentially dangerous vulnerability in certain versions of OpenSSL code which enables encrypted communication on the Internet. Initial analysis of the vulnerabilities and early patches in VigilinxÂ’ Patch Validation Laboratory corroborates researchers reports on this vulnerability. The vulnerability has been reported in findings by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Air Force Research Laboratory. Two additional independent security researchers have also confirmed it.

The problem involves four buffer overflow vulnerabilities. One causes the denial of service vulnerability, while the other three allow a remote attacker to execute code with root-level privileges. Affected systems are those using OpenSSL 0.9.6d or earlier, 0.9.7-beta2 or earlier, or the current development snapshots of 0.9.7. The vulnerabilities affect both client and server.

“The wide proliferation of servers that utilize SSL to protect encrypted sessions, may make these vulnerabilities significant,” said Bruce Murphy, Vigilinx CEO. “At this point, we are not aware of any damage that has been inflicted due to this vulnerability, but we believe that the potential for damage is high and a proactive response is warranted. “

Additional information about this vulnerability can be found at www. vigilinx. com.

Denver, CO and Santa Fe, NM (PRWEB) May 1, 2008

Outskirts Press, Inc. has published Business Revolution through Ancestral Wisdom: The circle knowledge of the past comes forward to show us how to create a practical and ethical process for success, sustainability, and true prosperity by Tu Moonwalker & JoAnne OBrien-Levin, Ph. D. with Láné Saán Moonwalker, which is the author's most recent book to date. The 6 x 9 Paperback in the Business Aspects category is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble for a suggested retail price of $22.95. The webpage at www. outskirtspress. com/businessrevolutionwisdom (http://www. outskirtspress. com/businessrevolutionwisdom) was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.

About the Book (Excerpts & Info):
We need a new blueprint for the conduct of business. The evidence is everywhere. As recent events show, too many business organizations operate in ways at odds with our sense of what is ethical, moral, and fair. Many business practices seem to be on a collision course with human welfare and with the precious and fragile ecological environment that sustains us. Furthermore, these behaviors are increasingly costly to the environment, to human well-being, and now--as is becoming evident--to the businesses themselves. Something is terribly wrong. We are desperate for a better way. We need a different foundational structure for business--one that enables us to be effective and, at the same time, supports our humanity. But is such a vision really possible?

All wisdom traditions point toward this fundamental truth. There is a pattern to the flow of the universe: it flows in a circle. It follows that when human activities flow in a circular manner, they receive tremendous support from the universe. Aligning with this flow is key to lasting happiness, success, and peace. This wisdom is applicable to business.

The Circle can help us restructure businesses so that energy continuously flows through them, keeping them vital. It can help us build ethics and sustainable practices into their very foundation. It supports healthy relationships, fostering attitudes of acceptance, mutual respect, and co-operation. As a blueprint, the Circle is scalable, multi-faceted, and endlessly customizable. It's applicable to all stages of building, managing, and evolving a business.

Never before has the Circle been written about as a tool for business management. For the first time, this book brings it into the world of modern commerce.

Deftly constructed at 240 pages, Business Revolution through Ancestral Wisdom: The circle knowledge of the past comes forward to show us how to create a practical and ethical process for success, sustainability, and true prosperity is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Business Aspects category. With U. S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Business Revolution through Ancestral Wisdom meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $22.95.

Additionally, Business Revolution through Ancestral Wisdom can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press wholesale online bookstore at www. outskirtspress. com/buybooks (http://www. outskirtspress. com/buybooks)

ISBN: 9781432717865 Format: 6 x 9 Paperback SRP: $22.95

Sherwin-Williams Names Zig. marketing Digital Agency for Three Brands

Zig. marketing has been named the digital agency of record for three Sherwin-Williams brands, Dutch Boy®, Krylon® and Pratt & Lambert®. Zig is helping Sherwin-Williams make a commitment in the digital space to stay ahead of a changing media landscape, and do an even better job of talking to and inspiring new and current customers.

Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) March 7, 2009

Zig. marketing has been named the digital agency of record for three Sherwin-Williams brands, Dutch Boy®, Krylon® and Pratt & Lambert®. Zig is helping Sherwin-Williams make a commitment in the digital space to stay ahead of a changing media landscape, and do an even better job of talking to and inspiring new and current customers.

"There's a major digital revolution taking place on the web, a place where virtually every purchase decision takes place, and Sherwin-Williams wants to be on the forefront," says Adam Chafe, Vice President of Marketing Diversified Brands.

The initial efforts will include microsites, banners, paid search, blogging and email campaigns, with Zig helping to give Sherwin more productive and cost effective alternatives to standard advertising, to better reach and engage their customers.

For Dutch Boy, Zig is creating an interactive My House Stinks campaign around their newly launched Refresh™ odor-eliminating paint. The viral-based campaign involves consumers sharing and posting their ugly, stinky room pictures that others will then vote on. Krylon is launching the first ever wood spray stain, using only interactive means with a Save Our Saturday (SOS) campaign that revolves around helping men perform their honey-do list jobs faster and entering them to win a trip to the World Series. The Pratt & Lambert campaign called the Green Palette Architectural Information Center focuses on the business-to-business segment of architects, giving them a forum to learn about green sustainability, and a platform to post and comment on each others green designs.

"The internet is about reaching buyers as close to the purchase decision as possible. Zig has learned how to help clients engage consumers on their own terms in order to successfully sell something digitally," explains Howard Zoss, President of Zig. marketing.

Zig. marketing, a fast-growing entrepreneurial advertising and web consultancy headquartered in Cleveland, OH with an office also in Detroit, is a unique, direct, no-nonsense, entrepreneurial consultancy taking an "un-agency" approach that breaks the rules and generates sales results for clients.
