Mainstream Medicine Invests in Complementary & Alternative Medicine

Mainstream Medicine Invests in Complementary & Alternative Medicine

Paul Ramsey, founder of Ramsey Healthcare, and Natural Health International are bridging the gap between supplements and pharmaceuticals. Femmenessence™ offers women and mainstream medicine a naturally safe alternative that works. Five year published clinical trials and research reveal an 84% success rate in reducing menopausal symptoms.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) December 4, 2008

Paul Ramsay is the founder and major shareholder in Ramsay Healthcare, one of the largest private hospital operators in the world with over 100 hospitals globally. Mr. Ramsay is now a significant shareholder in Natural Health International, the ground-breaking nutraceutical company that introduced Femmenessence™ to the US market. Femmenessence™ is the first herbal product with double blind placebo controlled clinical trials demonstrating statistically significant effects on the hormone levels of peri and post menopausal women. In these trials Femmenessence™ showed an 84% success rate in reducing menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats and mood swings. Unlike other herbal options for post menopause Femmenessence™ increases levels of estradiol, progesterone, LH and thyroid hormone, while reducing FSH. The research also shows promise with respect to heart and bone health, with reductions in body weight, LDL, triglycerides and improvements in HDL, gastro intestinal absorption and bone density. The most interesting aspect of Femmenessence™ is its completely novel mode of action. Unlike HRT or bio identical hormones, it does not introduce hormones into the body, nor does it work like the black cohosh, soy or red clover. Rather Femmenessence™ supports the body's own regulation of the complete hormonal profile through the Hypothalamus Pituitary Adrenal Axis.

"We are extremely excited to have Mr. Ramsay involved with NHI" said James Frame CEO of Natural Health International, "we understand that the future of healthcare must be an integrative approach but in order for that to become mainstream there must more quality control and clinical research relating to natural alternatives." Mr. Frame went on to discuss what would be required "…the most important thing is to get ride of the "us" and "them" attitude that currently exists and have clinical trials that combine pharmaceutical grade protocols with natural products of the quality and dose recommended by natural product industry experts. It is up to the natural products industry, of which we are a part, to set its own standards ensuring customers have guarantees of quality, efficacy and safety. Every herb we have ever researched works, the issue is making sure you provide the customer with a quality, stable, bio-available dose."

Natural Health International's catch phrase - "bridging the gap between supplements and pharmaceuticals" defines their strong scientific and clinical focus. The company is also responsible for the first plant based melatonin product on the market - Herbatonin®.

Natural Health International is unique in the natural products industry combining species, phenotype selection and organic and biodynamic type farm practices with proprietary manufacturing processes for each individual herb. Also distinguished by its scientific and clinical research, the company's vertical integration ensures control of the whole manufacturing process from seed to shelf. With a head office in San Francisco, NHI oversees operations in Vanuatu, Australia, New Zealand, France, Peru and Asia. Natural Health International is launching Femmenessence™ in the UK and Canada and will be expanding its retail presence to include Europe, Australia, Japan, Korea and other parts of Asia in 2009.

Written in an eminently readable style by a therapist with more than 12 yearsÂ’ experience working with singles and couples in the field, Romancing the Web is filled with real-life examples that help to illustrate both the problems and solutions that singles can find in their quest for companionship in cyberspace.

Romancing the Web details the intricacies of online dating, including:

How to complete a profile that attracts the type of mate you are looking for

Red flags for online daters

How to stay safe

Popular websites for meeting other singles

Computer dating etiquette

Deciding when (or whether!) you should meet face-to-face, and more

Diane Berry is a former family law attorney-turned psychotherapist. She owns and operates a mental health clinic and, for the past five years, has been working extensively with her single and divorced clients on issues related to online dating. As a result of her experience, she is able to provide a unique perspective of this revolutionary matchmaking practice and provides many colorful, real-life examples to illustrate some of the problems and solutions associated with this phenomenon.

Selkirk Gives Small and Mid-sized Organizations Affordable Access to Treasury Management Solutions with New Web-based Service

Selkirk Gives Small and Mid-sized Organizations Affordable Access to Treasury Management Solutions with New Web-based Service

Selkirk Gives Small and Mid-sized Organizations Affordable Access to Treasury Management Solutions with New Web-based Service

(PRWEB) February 16, 2002

February 13, 2002, Vancouver – Selkirk Financial Technologies Inc. today announced an early access release of its new Web-based offering, Treasury Anywhere™. Developed exclusively for delivery over the Internet and sold on a monthly subscription basis, Treasury Anywhere, is a cost-effective, highly secure service designed to meet the unique treasury needs of small and mid-sized organizations. Service launch is in Q2 2002.

“Liquidity management and cash forecasting are Board of Directors’ issues, regardless of an organization’s size, industry or complexity,” said Selkirk’s chief operating officer, Lyndon J. Harvey. “Fortune 2000 organizations have realized time and cost savings from best-of-breed treasury workstations for more than a decade, but there was nothing comparable on the market for small and mid-sized organizations -- until now.”

Successful organizations recognize that treasury functions are critical to financial health. However, according to a recent study conducted by independent market research firm Schmidt Consulting Services, based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, most small and mid-sized organizations still rely on spreadsheets for managing liquidity and forecasting cash flow, a practice many recognize as unreliable and resource-intensive. According to the Schmidt research, many companies feel their current cash forecasting methods are inaccurate, unreliable and in need of automation.

“With Treasury Anywhere,” said Harvey, “organizations with limited resources and capital finally have access to a robust treasury solution that will help them optimize their financial performance, while increasing efficiency and mitigating risk.”

The new service leverages the proven business logic of Selkirk’s large corporate treasury management solution, Treasury Managerâ. Incorporating the expertise garnered from working with over 150 Fortune 2000 organizations, Treasury Anywhere delivers proven functionality and best practices to small and mid-sized organizations with the convenience of a Web-based service.

With Treasury Anywhere, organizations can now automate workflow to reduce record-keeping and data-entry tasks; integrate bank balances and transactions from multiple financial institutions; and consolidate financial activity into one secure system. Most importantly, the service provides access to a complete and accurate picture of an organizationÂ’s daily cash position and forecast, 24/7.

more - "Our delivery of Treasury Anywhere reinforces our commitment to providing customer-focused solutions and services to the financial community,” said James W. Suttie, Selkirk’s president and chief executive officer. “We’re extremely excited about our new Treasury Anywhere service and the superior returns it will offer our clients and stakeholders.”

Custom Line-of-Business Apps for iPhone, iPad: Coming Soon

Custom Line-of-Business Apps for iPhone, iPad: Coming Soon

Formotus is expanding its mobile business application platform to include iPhones and iPads so companies can design once and deploy anywhere from the cloud onto iPhone, iPad, Android, and Windows Mobile devices.

Bellevue, WA (PRWEB) August 5, 2010

Formotus, Inc. (http://www. formotus. com) announced plans to support iPhones and iPads as part of its unique cloud-based platform for creating, deploying and managing custom line-of-business applications on a wide variety of mobile devices. The same Formotus solutions already running on Android and Windows Mobile devices around the globe will begin working on iPhones and iPads as well.

A significant obstacle hindering mobile workforce automation is the growing diversity of smart devices in the market. “It’s increasingly unrealistic for companies to mandate a particular kind of smartphone to be used by all their mobile employees,” says Adriana Neagu, CEO and co-founder of Formotus. “We want iPhone users to have the same access to their companies’ custom mobile line-of-business applications as people carrying Android or Windows Mobile devices.”

Formotus and its network of partners present customers with a whole new strategy for mobile business application design and development, according to Neagu. “In the past there have been two main choices for multi-platform apps,” she said. “Web-based apps that trap the user in a mobile browser, or multiple native application development efforts. Ours is neither, ours is a new approach.”

Design Once, Deploy Anywhere. (http://www. formotus. com/DesignOnce. html) Formotus installs rich native client software on each device, then creates custom solutions as business forms that install from the cloud and function like apps. “Our solutions already work across platforms on Android and Windows Mobile,” Neagu explains. “Now Apple device users will be able join in using the same technology.” Formotus mobile business forms are also compatible with Microsoft Office, and in fact are created using InfoPath, the Office application for form design.

Every Formotus app is as unique as a custom-coded solution, yet Formotus mobile application design requires no coding and very little initial investment by the customer. “Some customers learn to create their own mobile business forms using InfoPath,” mentioned Neagu, “while others leave that work mostly to an experienced Formotus partner. Either way, the design process is rapid and inexpensive compared to custom coding.”

Enabling Offline Productivity. (http://www. formotus. com/Better-than-Browser. html) One big advantage over browser-based forms is that the Formotus mobile client software is designed and optimized for occasionally connected devices. “We're talking about rich native client software optimized for offline productivity,” points out Neagu, “not a browser-based Web app requiring constant connectivity.” The mobile worker stays productive even without connectivity. Multiple drafts of multiple forms can be opened, edited and saved locally as XML files on the mobile device. Completed forms submit to an outbox where they queue to be sent over-the-air to their destination when connectivity is available.

Browserless SharePoint Data Connections. (http://www. formotus. com/SharePoint. html) SharePoint connectivity is built right into Formotus software + services. Enterprises already using SharePoint can easily start connecting to it with mobile devices. Formotus works with SharePoint anywhere, whether on-premises, hosted by a partner, or in the cloud with Microsoft SharePoint Online (BPOS). SharePoint connections are made directly between the Formotus mobile client and the SharePoint server – no proxy servers or add-ins are needed on the back end, and no browser is needed on the mobile device.

User, Device and Application Lifecycle Management. (www. formotus. com/http://formotus. com/TourCloud. html) Formotus provides many of the same capabilities as heavier mobile enterprise application platforms (MEAP): provisioning devices, deploying and updating custom business apps, managing and authenticating mobile users, making data connections between devices and business systems, etc. The difference: Formotus is a much lighter and more agile solution that is far less disruptive to set up and maintain. Unlike MEAP middleware solutions, the Formotus cloud + mobile platform requires no server-side installation at all. Apps are installed from the cloud and data connections are made through standard Web services or directly with SharePoint.

Custom Line-of-Business Applications for Any Industry. (http://www. formotus. com/Solutions. html) Formotus mobile business apps for iPhone, iPad and other devices can be used to automate mobile workflow and data collection in any industry, and are especially well suited to field service and repair, sales, deliveries, surveys, inventory, inspections, and mobile health care. Companies of all sizes can design custom mobile line-of-business applications such as inspection (www. formotus. com/http://formotus. com/Inspection. html) reports, signature capture (http://www. formotus. com/Inspection. html) forms, mobile work orders, proof of delivery, field service dispatch systems (http://www. formotus. com/Dispatch. html) and workflow for mobile workforce management.

About Formotus. Formotus, Inc. is the creator of the Formotus Software + Services Platform which enables businesses of any size to create, deploy and manage the lifecycle of mobile business applications on all kinds of phones. Formotus Software + Services are sold through carriers and a growing network of partners.

Sanford Health Breaks Ground on Children’s Clinic in Klamath Falls, OR

Sanford Health Breaks Ground on Children’s Clinic in Klamath Falls, OR

Sanford Health and the Klamath Falls, OR community together celebrated the groundbreaking of a new children’s clinic today. The new Castle of Care™ will bring together current pediatric physicians from southern Oregon into one convenient location. Opening in 2012, the Sanford Children’s Clinic will be approximately 9,000 square feet and include the Castle of Care™ features of other Sanford Children’s facilities.

Sioux Falls, SD (Vocus) September 10, 2010

Sanford Health and the Klamath Falls, OR community together celebrated the groundbreaking of a new children’s clinic today. The new Castle of Care™ will bring together current pediatric physicians from southern Oregon into one convenient location. Opening in 2012, the Sanford Children’s Clinic will be approximately 9,000 square feet and include the Castle of Care™ features of other Sanford Children’s facilities.

“The intent of the Sanford Children’s Clinic initiative is to expand access to pediatric healthcare for children who might otherwise go without,” stated Dave Link, Sanford Health Sr. Executive Vice President. “Physicians in this community have provided quality care to children for years, but this new Sanford Children’s Clinic will ensure that this care will continue to benefit children and young families for many years to come.”

The Sanford Children’s Clinic physician team will include two pediatricians from the Klamath Pediatric Clinic and one from the region’s largest hospital, Sky Lakes Medical Center and will grow through recruitment in subsequent years. Additionally, the clinic will employ administrative and nursing staff to support the provider team. It will serve a community and broader metropolitan area of 60,000 people, including more than 16,000 children. The clinic will also serve the four-county market service area that includes children and young families in Oregon and California.

“In addition to providing top notch pediatric care to the children of the greater Klamath Basin in a ‘kid friendly castle,’ Sanford’s partnership will put us on the cutting edge of pediatric research and technical support,” said Rick Zwartverwer, MD, future Sanford Children’s pediatrician. “We should be in a position to attract the best young physicians as we replace our retiring physicians who have served for the last 30 years.”

Various community leaders, organizations and businesses are joining with Sanford Health to ensure the future of children’s healthcare in the Klamath Falls region. Robert Quinn, MD, a Bend, OR physician, is facilitating the donation of land for the clinic, and Sky Lakes Medical Center will provide ancillary lab and imaging resources when the clinic opens. The JELD-WEN Foundation is leading an effort and coordinating response among area foundations and donors to support the clinic’s success. TEAM Klamath, a public/private partnership organization that fosters the development of services for the community, and the American Academy of Pediatrics played integral roles in Sanford’s selection.

“It was evident early in the citing process the Sanford Health organization and the Klamath Falls team had something in common: a deep-seated dedication to taking care of people,” said Paul Stewart, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sky Lakes Medical Center. “It is a pleasure partnering with the top-notch professionals at Sanford on the clinic project. Our local team enjoyed considerable ‘front-line’ assistance from throughout the community, as well as significant behind-the-scenes support from a host of area business and civic leaders. Their enthusiastic generosity helped us successfully assemble the pieces to make our mutual dream a reality; to make this day possible. At the core of our collective success, however, is the cooperation and vision we experienced among existing local pediatricians and others in the medical community. The new clinic builds on the relationships we’ve experienced in the past and will greatly enhance the future of medical services for our community.”

The Sanford Children’s Clinic in Klamath Falls is one of five Sanford Children’s Clinics announced by Sanford Health as part of the initiatives outlined after a donation from South Dakota businessman and philanthropist Denny Sanford in 2007. A portion of the donation is being used to establish a network of Sanford Children’s Clinics in communities around the world in order to increase access to pediatric care. The first Sanford Children’s Clinic opened in Duncan, OK in August 2009; Sanford Children’s Clinic in Belize City, Belize broke ground May 2010 and will open in 2011; Sanford Children’s Clinic in Oceanside, CA will share space with Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego in a facility set to open in spring 2011; and Sanford Health recently announced plans to build a clinic in Dublin, Ireland.

About Sanford Health
Sanford Health is an integrated health system headquartered in Fargo, ND and Sioux Falls, SD and consists of two long-standing organizations that merged in 2009. Sanford is now the largest, rural, not-for-profit healthcare system in the nation with a presence in 110 communities in eight states. In addition, Sanford Health is in the process of developing international clinics in Belize and Ireland.

With more than 18,000 employees, Sanford Health is the largest employer in North and South Dakota. The system is experiencing dynamic growth and development in conjunction with Denny Sanford's $400 million gift in 2007, the largest gift ever to a healthcare organization in America. This gift is making possible the implementation of the several initiatives including global children's clinics, multiple research centers and finding a cure for type 1 diabetes.

LiveProcess, the market leader in web-based emergency preparedness and incident management solutions for healthcare, today announced that it will be exhibiting at and attending the Third National Emergency Management Summit at the Renaissance Washington, DC Hotel, March 4-6, 2009. The Summit is the leading forum on disaster, epidemic and terrorism planning, response and recovery for healthcare organizations.

Verona, NJ (PRWEB) February 26, 2009

LiveProcess, the market leader in web-based emergency preparedness and incident management solutions for healthcare, today announced that it will be exhibiting at and attending the Third National Emergency Management Summit at the Renaissance Washington, DC Hotel, March 4-6, 2009.

The Summit is the leading forum on disaster, epidemic and terrorism planning, response and recovery for healthcare organizations. An extraordinary confluence of events, both environmental and geopolitical, has created both a heightened risk and a heightened awareness of natural disasters, epidemics and terrorism in the United States. The National Emergency Management Summit seeks to assess these risks and articulate practical approaches to strategies for planning, response and recovery.

LiveProcess was established in the wake of the September 11th attacks and the worldwide SARS outbreak in response to widespread recognition that healthcare needed a better way to plan and respond to disasters. In 2003, LiveProcess launched its centralized, web-based disaster preparation and incident management platform ― the first of its kind for healthcare ― to help healthcare organizations prepare for and respond to both large - and small-scale emergencies and disasters. Today, it is the leader in emergency management for hospitals.

"This Summit provides practical solutions to hospital emergency management issues and is one of the best and most informative conferences for healthcare emergency managers," said Mitch Saruwatari, LiveProcess' vice president of Quality and Compliance. "LiveProcess is proud to be exhibiting at this event."

The purpose of the Summit is to increase knowledge on how emergency management professionals can best prepare for disasters (pandemic, terrorism, and infectious diseases), use scarce resources wisely, implement responses more effectively, and create new partnerships. Participants can expect to leave the conference with a better ability to assess readiness for natural disasters and pandemics, foster best practices through presentation of a variety of successful case studies from the field and explore the difficult legal and ethical issues that arise in emergency situations.

LiveProcess will present a brief case study on how technology can help improve healthcare emergency management programs during the Networking Luncheon on Thursday, March 5th.

LiveProcess is exhibiting at Booth #10 on Wednesday, March 4th and Thursday, March 5th. To arrange interviews with LiveProcess executives, please contact Paul Ruderman at 973-571-2500.

For more information on the Summit, call (800) 684-4549 or visit www. emergencymanagementsummit. com.

About LiveProcess:
The LiveProcess platform is used by hundreds of hospitals across the country. The American Hospital Association (AHA) has exclusively endorsed LiveProcess as the choice for disaster readiness and incident command solutions for its more than 5,000 member hospitals.

The LiveProcess platform provides hospitals, other healthcare providers and public health agencies with the ability to evaluate and manage their own preparedness and state of readiness, as well as coordinate response with other entities, from small incidents through large-scale healthcare emergencies. Its broad and growing range of fully-integrated tools include Hazard Vulnerability Analyses (HVAs), an integrated Incident Command System (ICS), NIMS Compliance activities, Drills for Readiness and Compliance, a real-time Event Log, and Competency-Based Training capabilities.

THE ULTIMATE WELLNESS FORMULA!

THE ULTIMATE WELLNESS FORMULA!

(PRWEB) October 12, 2000

SNELLVILLE, GA – Preventive Therapeutics, Inc.(PTI), manufacturer and marketer of high quality, unique dietary supplements introduces Complete Thymic Formula by nutritional pioneer, Carson B. Burgstiner M. D. Dr. BurgstinerÂ’s Complete Thymic Formula® (CTF) and Vitamin/Mineral Complex combines cutting edge nutritional support with hormone replacement therapy for the thymus gland. It is perhaps the most comprehensive all natural dietary supplement available today. CTF contains a synergistic blend of herbs, essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids, thymic and other glandular extracts, antioxidants, enzymes and whole food extracts. This remarkable product is designed to provide a solid and wholesome foundation of nutritional support while making available factors that nourish and strengthen immune function.

Complete Thymic Formula® uses a patented Controlled Delivery System™ to maximize the absorption and assimilation of nutrients, which are selectively delivered at the right time and place along the digestive tract. In effect, this technology gives the formula an “innate intelligence”, recognizing that fat soluble nutrients are optimally absorbed along a certain section of the digestive tract and water soluble nutrients along another. The spray/freeze dried materials are hydrolysated (made water soluble) for optimum absorption. The food factors have a natural coating that protects them in the acidic environment of the stomach, making them available in the small intestine where most absorption takes place.

PTI formulas contain no artificial colors or flavors, and are sugar, starch, salt and preservative free. Dr. Burgstiner's Complete Thymic Formula is distributed through a network of select health food stores and medical practitioners nationwide.

Croda Inc Announces Launch of New Patented Gentle Cleaning Ingredient

Croda Inc Announces Launch of New Patented Gentle Cleaning Ingredient

Cromollient SCE keeps cleaning power while preventing irritation.

Edison, NJ (Vocus) December 29, 2006

Wipes, sprays and multipurpose cleaners are becoming more and more popular as time-pressed consumers seek to reduce the time spent cleaning. These fast and convenient cleaners often come in contact with the skin and are used around family and pets, so safe, gentle products are a must. With this in mind, Croda Inc is pleased to announce the launch of Cromollient SCE into the home care and industrial markets.

Cromollient SCE is a 100% active, patented ester shown to reduce the irritation potential of household or institutional cleaners without compromising cleaning ability. Tested in brand concentration studies for dishwashing soap, shower and tub cleaners and disinfecting wipes, Cromollient SCE was shown to boost the cleaning power of most applications and imparted a soft after-feel to hands when used at efficacious levels. It significantly reduced the irritation level of these products, in vitro, and when added to 100% Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), it reduced the irritation of SLS to that of distilled, deionized water! It is compatible with many surfactants and will produce clear surfactant systems. It can usually be added over the top to most cleaning systems to improve mildness and create gentler products without reformulation.

With the market moving towards milder, gentler cleaning products, create them with ease using Cromollient SCE. Ideal for multi-purpose sprays and wipes, dish detergents, bathroom cleaners and industrial cleaning, just to name a few, Cromollient SCE possesses wide pH tolerance making it suitable for most cleaning products. When designing mild, gentle products, no matter what the application, choose Cromollient SCE for enhanced cleaning, without irritation.

PAC feels so strongly about LIFE Ionizers that it is now endorsing and recommending them. The LIFE Ionizer is an innovative alkaline mineral water machine that promotes good health with superior hydration, mineralization, oxygenation and cellular detoxification.

People Against Cancer is known for advising people on the best treatments and most effective preventions for cancer. More than 1,500,000 Americans will be diagnosed with cancer and 750,000 will die this year alone. The epidemic continues, yet People Against Cancer feels little progress is being made by the medical establishment to prevent, diagnose and treat most forms of the disease. This is why they have a mission of providing members with the best cancer treatment.

Frank Wiewel and his wife Denise founded People Against Cancer in 1986. Frank has fought tirelessly for the fair testing of innovative, non-toxic cancer therapies through guest appearances, radio interviews, publications, and more. Frank has been called "The most powerful independent voice in the field of cancer" and is proud of the PAC endorsement of LIFE Ionizers alkaline water systems.

Although this line of alkaline water ionizers (http://www. LifeIonizers. com) is not a treatment for cancer, it does produce drinking water that acts as an antioxidant and flushes toxins out of the system. People Against Cancer focuses both on alternative therapy treatments and preventative measures for cancer. Living a healthy lifestyle is definitely one way to help prevent many cancers and other illnesses, and a superior alkaline water system is part of a healthy lifestyle.

The alkaline drinking water that comes from LIFE Ionizers is created using high quality platinum-coated titanium plates with internal and external filtration systems, resulting in micro-clustered water with the highest antioxidant qualities. The LIFE Ionizers alkaline water machine is constantly being upgraded and redesigned by the company's skilled research engineers and hydrologists to keep up with advancing technology.

Raise Its™ Furniture Risers Create Room for Storage and Promote Ergonomics

Raise Its™ Furniture Risers Create Room for Storage and Promote Ergonomics

Garner Industries, a leading manufacturer of precision tooling, CNC machining and custom molds, today introduced Raise Its™ furniture risers, a safe, simple system for raising the height of home and office furniture and equipment.

Lincoln, NE (PRWEB) August 2, 2006

Garner Industries, a leading manufacturer of precision tooling, CNC machining and custom molds, today introduced Raise Its™ furniture risers, a safe, simple system for raising the height of home and office furniture and equipment.

“Everyone has experienced the frustration of furniture not being high enough,” said Garner sales representative, Kelly Potter. “The bed might not be high enough to put storage containers under it, or a desk isn’t high enough to get a person’s legs under it. Raise Its™ risers are an easy, inexpensive way to adjust the height of furniture to create more storage or make tables, desks and beds more ergonomically appropriate.”

Each Raise Its™ riser is one inch high and four inches square. The risers are constructed of sturdy polycarbonate plastic, in either solid black or clear, with an interlocking design that allows as many as three to be safely stacked at a time. To use Raise Its™ risers, simply stack and place under the legs or sides of furniture. A unique system of depressions in the top of each unit accommodates bed wheels of different sizes, as well as round legs, square legs and board-style furniture legs. A non-skid rubber insert on the bottom of each riser assures that they will remain safely in place on tile and wood floors. Raise Its™ risers safely hold 600 pounds of weight per leg.

At home, in addition to raising beds to allow more under-bed storage Raise Its™ risers can elevate sofas with sagging slipcovers, beds with dragging skirts or serving trays on a buffet for dramatic presentation. In the office, Raise Its™ risers are not only useful for elevating desks and workbenches for ergonomic health, they also raise computer monitors to eye level and keep CPUs off the floor, creating a static barrier. In addition, in hospitals, in nursing homes or at home, use Raise Its™ risers to flexibly, easily and discretely adjust furniture height for wheelchair accessibility and limited mobility, or to elevate the end of a bed to reduce acid reflux symptoms.

Consumers will find the Raise Its™ furniture risers in retail stores across the nation at an MSRP of $15.95 for eight in a box. For more information, visit http://www. raiseits. com (http://www. raiseits. com).

Health IT Adoption Rates Drive Orion Health® Continued Global Growth

Health IT Adoption Rates Drive Orion Health® Continued Global Growth

Orion Health Inc. has achieved a strong profit performance for the year ending March 31, 2010 in spite of the economic turmoil’s impact across the industry. Orion Health’s gross sales revenue across the group increased 28% percent in the second half of 2010 compared with the same period last year.

Auckland, New Zealand (Vocus) June 22, 2010

Orion Health Ltd., a global leader in Health Information Exchange (HIE) and Electronic Health Record (EHR) solutions, has achieved a strong profit performance for the year ending March 31, 2010 in spite of the economic turmoil’s impact across the industry. Orion Health’s gross sales revenue across the group increased 28% percent in the second half of 2010 compared with the same period last year.

According to Ian McCrae, Orion Health CEO, the past year has been one of the strongest in the global marketplace for the company, which has been providing interoperability solutions to the healthcare industry since 1993. Based on the momentum seen during the first two months of fiscal year 2011, Mr. McCrae is confident this consistent quarter-on-quarter growth will continue throughout 2010.

“The driving vision for Orion Health is to make sure we build health information products that are better designed and easier to implement than ever before” says Mr. McCrae. “Accordingly, as health IT projects continue to be prioritized across the globe, more healthcare providers are turning to Orion Health’s leading integration engine and clinical workflow software to help them improve healthcare delivery through better access to medical records.”

North American Health IT Market Growth
North American contracts accounted for 70 percent of Orion Health’s sales. Customers include private hospital and healthcare providers, state public health departments and regional health information exchanges (HIEs). Sales of Rhapsody Integration Engine contributed to nearly a third of the North American revenues, including the company’s largest global OEM partnership to date, an effort to embed the solution into Philips’ portfolio of healthcare informatics solutions.

Paul Viskovich, President Orion Health North America says as more funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 becomes available, hospital and health systems are more rapidly deploying health information exchange programs.

Mr. Viskovich attributes North American growth to Orion Health’s leadership in the Health Information Exchange market and healthcare integration engine market, which continues to be validated by customers and third-party developers. “In North America, even though many organizations were waiting to act until the announcement of funding guidelines in the middle of the year, Orion Health has seen a growth rate of more than 20 percent over the previous year,” says Mr. Viskovich.

International Health IT Market Growth
Growth in Europe and the Middle East is also increasing. Charles Scatchard, the company’s newly appointed President of International says that significant deployments in Norway and Northumbria as well as continued implementations in Spain helped drive a 20 percent increase in sales across the region.

Customer Driven Solutions and Partnerships Ease Health IT Processes
Mr. McCrae says that organizations using Rhapsody report saving hundreds of staff hours per year by graphically mapping interfaces, automating the data exchange and reporting process and easing troubleshooting. It is one of the most widely adopted integration platforms used by public health departments, a market known for rigorous requirements for expenditures and competitive reviews.

With more than 10 new customers in the second half of the year deploying Concerto physician portal technology, which underpins Orion Health’s HIE and EHR solutions, the company now has more live sites than any other vendor globally.

Orion Health has also added new global partnerships. In the past year, the company has formed strategic and successful partnerships with companies such as Logica, Vangent, Forward Advantage, Xwave, Philips and Merge.

Other accomplishments:
 Orion Health Ian McCrae received the World-Class New Zealander Award  Orion Health was one of four finalists in the PricewaterhouseCoopers Company of the Year - New Zealand Hi Tech Awards  Orion Health technology received an honorable mention in BIO-IT World 2010 Best Practices Awards Program and was honored at this year’s Arab Health Awards  Orion Health received top 10 ranking in this year’s Technosium Hot Companies awards

The Orion Health group currently employs 350 people. Most of the company’s research and development takes place at its New Zealand headquarters.

ClinfoSource and Nucleus Network Create Alliance to Provide Online GCP Clinical Trial Training for the Australia Region

ClinfoSource and Nucleus Network Create Alliance to Provide Online GCP Clinical Trial Training for the Australia Region

ClinfoSource, a US-based global online training company has partnered with Nucleus Network of Australia to provide web-based GCP training for clinical trials professionals in the Australia region, later to be extended to include New Zealand regulations. This program will offer clinical trial investigators, coordinators, research associates and others a solid and practical understanding of clinical trials conduct and management, the regulations and ethics central to the drug development process.

Danville, CA (PRWEB) March 6, 2008

ClinfoSource, a global online training company based in Danville, California, announced today that it has partnered with Nucleus Network Ltd based in Victoria, Australia to jointly provide web-based GCP training for clinical trials professionals in the Australia region, later to be extended to include the New Zealand regulations. This program is intended to offer clinical trial investigators, coordinators, research associates and other clinical trials professionals a solid and practical understanding of clinical trials conduct and management, and of the regulations and ethics central to the drug development process. The program will be launched in March, 2008.

Web-based GCP training courses have been offered by ClinfoSource since 2002 in response to the growing demand for comprehensive, high quality clinical research training courses that can be accessed by clinical research personnel at their convenience and at an affordable cost. Nucleus Network has been providing in-class clinical research training to those involved in trials in Australia and New Zealand since 2005. The new collaboration will offer courses customized for the Australia-New Zealand region in the web-based format allowing convenient access to GCP training. These online courses represent a greater depth and breadth to the current in-class GCP course.

In the joint program, a trainee will have up to 12 months to complete the modules for a particular certificate. There are 5 separate certificate programs tailored to site personnel and to sponsor/CRO personnel, ranging from core training to advanced training. Alternately, custom selection of more than 50 individual modules in areas of specific interest will also be available. The courses and modules will be launched progressively beginning in March.

Dr. Kay Ranganathan, President of ClinfoSource said, "We are very excited about partnering with Nucleus Network in offering this program. Combining Nucleus Network's expertise in clinical research training with ClinfoSource's comprehensive set of training modules and web-based platform will facilitate GCP training for wider audience in the region."

Robyn Lichter, Manager Nucleus Network Education added, "The expanse of our country renders a challenge to the delivery of programs with resourcing and cost maintenance. Essentially training budgets are constrained so to have alternate options which do not require a travel component for the trainee is highly desirable. The added option of training at one's own pace will suit some people's learning style. This high standard, accessible, affordable and flexible clinical research training format will address the gap for busy dedicated personnel."

Dr Andrew Giddy, CEO of Nucleus Network said, "We are very excited to be involved in the development of a new range of modules for Australia which expand the format and diversity in clinical research training."

Albany Medical College Volunteers Open Engeye Health Clinic in Uganda

Albany Medical College Volunteers Open Engeye Health Clinic in Uganda

In partnership with local Ugandans, three medical students have brought sustainable healthcare, for the first time, to a forgotten region of Uganda.

Albany, NY (PRWEB) June 22, 2007

The 2007 spring break for three medical students in the midst of their second year of school was not the typical white sand beach escape designed to offset the rigors of medical school. Instead, after working over the past year with their now clinic manager, John Kalule, a local Ugandan, they headed to rural Uganda with a team of 14 other doctors, students and nurses, and opened the doors of the health clinic they had built earlier that year in Ddegeya Village, Uganda.

In the midst of a forgotten region of Uganda with no electricity, no running water, no transportation and no health care, they brought hope to the villagers. Together with local nurses and translators, they provided medical care to over 750 community members who had never been seen by a health care worker. A nurse was hired to remain on board full-time after their spring break departure, and John Kalule, who leads the entire project in Uganda, is busy continuing upgrades to the site.

The spring 2007 visit marked the beginning of a sustainable healthcare system for the villagers. The next medical mission is scheduled for November 2007. While the primary medical students responsible for the rural health clinic -- Stephanie Van Dyke, Misty Richards and Brooke Richards -- are thrilled with their accomplishments, they realize that there's much more to be done. Prior to their next trip back, they hope to bring electricity to the clinic and build and stock an on-site laboratory.

Despite the success of Engeye Health Clinic's maiden voyage, they were forced to accommodate an obvious deficiency -- the lack of a diagnostic lab to accurately identify the disease. With no advancements of medicine on hand, such as microscopes or rapid tests, during their spring 2007 Uganda mission, they were forced to make educated guesses based on a patient's visible symptoms and medical history. Malaria, STDs, HIV and TB appeared to be widespread. However, without any previous data, statistics for the region or diagnostic testing, they could not be certain what diseases are plaguing the village and causing so many deaths.

The addition of laboratory tests will facilitate better medical care and treatment. In addition to servicing the needs of Engeye Clinic, the lab will serve as a fund-raising tool because it will enable Engeye Clinic to run tests for other clinics, a luxury currently nonexistent in the region. The group is conscientious with regards to sustainability and is ensuring all their advancements will create a self-sustaining system. Currently, the small amount charged for each patient's visit is enough to fund the purchase of new medications. The team has started both construction of the laboratory and wiring of the Engeye Clinic for electricity, and is confident that they will be completed prior to their next mission in November 2007. In 2008, they plan to add a trauma wing and dental and eye care units.

The villagers are thrilled and support the project whole-heartedly. They feel proud to have their village hosting the clinic and have shown their thanks in many ways, including festive singing and dancing. Many have commented that they've been asking for the angels to help them, and finally they have heard their calling. The U. S. medical students and Ugandan staff have a unique bond -- two worlds uniting, listening to each other and respecting each other's differences, all in attempt to raise the standard of living in a region where it is currently unacceptable. They are a small group of Americans and Ugandans, working to improve the living conditions and reduce the unnecessary suffering in rural Africa through education and health care.

The entire clinic and two volunteer houses were constructed during the summer of 2006 at an estimated cost of $50,000 by The Engeye Health Clinic's founder, Stephanie Van Dyke, her parents, Gary Arnold, who led the construction efforts and is the father of a fellow classmate, several other volunteers and at least 50 villagers. An inheritance from her grandmother was Stephanie's gift to the project and her parents helped supply the remainder needed. Upon returning to the States after building the clinic, Misty Richards and Brooke Richards, two fellow medical students, joined in the efforts and the three comprise the board of directors for the non-profit organization.

Stephanie met and befriended John Kalule, the primary Ugandan partner leading the project, while volunteering in Uganda in 2000. The word Engeye means "white monkey" in Luganda, an official language of the country, and is John's family clan name. The team realizes their responsibility. They understand the fact, and do not take it lightly, that whatever they do, or don't do, will directly influence the villager's well-being. Everybody realizes that without good health, the villagers will never begin to overcome the poverty of their country.

The official Mission Statement of the Engeye Health Clinic is: "To improve living conditions and reduce unnecessary suffering in rural Africa through education and compassionate health care. Implicit to every project that we undertake is the understanding that it will ultimately be sustainable with little or no outside assistance, and that it will be accomplished free of the imposition of any foreign social, political, or spiritual values."

The spring 2007 medical mission comprised of second year Albany Medical College students, Kim Robinson, Misty Richards, Evan Rodriguez, Stephanie Van Dyke, Brooke Richards, Lalithapriya Jayakumar, Julie Huynh and Jackie Schwartz, fourth year student Zoe Selhi and Sarah Levasseur, RN, Cynthia Hartman, Seth Edwards, a pre-medical student from St. Rose College, and two physicians, Dr. Bob Paeglow and Dr. Joe Murley. Dr. Paeglow, of Albany Medical College, was profiled in People Magazine in 2006 for his charity work and community involvement. To learn more, please visit Engeye Health Clinic at www. engeye. com.

Presenting the Youngest Social Networking Profiles Ever

Presenting the Youngest Social Networking Profiles Ever

Highly successful www. babyspot. com emerges to revolutionize the way families and parents interact with one another. Parents create profiles for their children that allow the world to watch them grow each day. The site offers blogs, videos, pictures, comment features, and parenting-based content.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) January 24, 2008

With the birth of a child came the birth of one of the Internet's greatest ideas (http://www. babyspot. com/index. php). Though the Internet now offers a substantial number of social networking sites, none exist like the one created by co-founders James Rivera and Zameer Upadhya.

Shortly after welcoming their first child Danny into the world, James and Monica Rivera became bombarded with requests for news, pictures and videos of their little bundle of joy. Seeking to quell the mob that demanded to see the new family member, the fresh-faced parents logged onto the Internet and started posting pictures here and there and sending scattered emails that were sometimes filtered out by Spam-screeners.

Frustrated by their need to act as technical support for the newborn's various online profiles and photo sites, the parents turned to long-time friend Zameer who, as it turns out, was experiencing equal chagrin at how challenging it had become to try and receive news about his distant baby-cousins. Together, they hatched a plan to create an entirely new breed of social networking site (http://www. babyspot. com/about. php) that would forever change the lives of parents the world over.

They created Babyspot. com, a site that allows users -- specifically parents -- to create profiles that give them the ability to post news and pictures of their children for fellow parents and family members to see. The prevailing sentiment is that not everyone can completely appreciate the sublime joy of becoming a parent, but Babyspot. com brings together the people who do.

Delving into the site, users can see the site offers as many (if not more) features (http://www. babyspot. com/tour. php) as most social profile sites. With the ability to write biographies and blogs, and update pictures and videos, parents can create an immersing baby-centric experience for the viewing pleasure of their families and friends. The simplicity of the site eliminates the need for tired newborn parents to spend what little energy they have left bouncing from site to site and writing countless emails to relatives, over and over.

The site is very user-friendly, and has thus far been incredibly successful at keeping families in touch and creating friendships between parents living cities and countries apart. The creators of the site even understood that not all parents want the world to see their children, so they added an option that allows you to block your child's profile from anyone who was not personally invited to view it.

Just like watching their own child learn and become successful, the Riveras will be able to guide their website to a healthy future adulthood. With the recent explosion in popularity of networking sites, one thing is for certain: it's worth keeping an eye on Babyspot. com to see what it'll be when it grows up.
