IRM, Inc. Releases Next Generation Revenue Management Reporting Solution Hospital Business Performance Management

Integrated Revenue Management, Inc.,  a leading technology, education, and consulting firm supporting hospital revenue management initiatives, today announced the releases and general availability of its new software as a service (SaaS) solution, Hospital BPM.

IRM, Inc. Releases Next Generation Revenue Management Reporting Solution Hospital Business Performance Management

Hospital BPM is an innovative and powerful analytics solution that hospitals use to track and manage vital revenue management initiatives. The solution combines powerful ETL technology with a series of revenue cycle management dashboards. The dashboards offer financial executives and department managers actionable information in a format that hospital finance professionals can easily understand and to which they can easily react.

Said Jack Duffy, Co-Founder of IRM, “This product represents a response to a key need in the industry. Hospital financial executives face two key problems today. Firstly, the volume of data they must analyze and process is increasing exponentially. This deluge of data from disparate sources makes analysis difficult, at best. Making informed financial decisions is further complicated by the unstructured nature of hospital financial information. Combine this systemic problem with a fluid regulatory environment and it makes the job of the hospital finance executive that much more difficult. Reimbursement rules of the road are changing daily and keeping pace with this change is a constant challenge.”

Hospital BPM represents the next generation of healthcare reporting technologies. The SaaS model keeps costs down and allows for rapid adoption across departments. The revenue cycle dashboard transform unstructured data from disparate sources and gives the reporting consumers the information they need to make critical and timely decisions.

Said Duffy; “We began the development of this solution as we typically do, with a live customer, satisfying a real and crucial need. Tufts Medical Center has been our primary beta client. We have worked with Tufts and their needs are quite common. We knew that once we released the solution live with Tufts, we could build upon that experience and release a general solution for the market.

The product is officially generally available. IRM, Inc. is planning a series of webinars and live product demonstrations and will be working with other clients to roll out the system live in production. You can learn more about this solution at http://www.irminconline.com/services/rms_hbpm.htm

For more information on the solution or to schedule a demonstration, contact kmiller@irminconline.com.

Holistic Approach Lends Itself To Drug Rehab

Over a decade ago, Mountainside Treatment Center set a standard for drug rehabs all over the world by offering personalized treatment plans for each individual who seeks drug addiction treatment at their facility.

Each treatment plan is approached holistically, addressing the full needs of the individual including Mind, Body and Spirit. This type of approach was unheard of prior to Mountainside’s ground-breaking efforts however, it’s proved to not only be a viable treatment model but a highly successful one as well.

Incorporating facets of traditional drug rehabs such as 12-step programs, individual counseling sessions and group sessions, Mountainside goes one step further and offers programs that reconnect the Mind, Body and Spirit. This innovative addiction treatment approach has found universal appeal in many drug rehabs.

Typically, an addicted person arrives at the point of drug addiction treatment completely disconnected and out of touch with reality as well as themselves. Their addiction has become an all-consuming monster and has not only psychologically but also physiologically created a disconnect between the mind and body function. Utilizing methods such as Yoga, Tai Chi and meditation helps the addicted individual begin integrating their total selves back into the life they had prior to becoming addicted.

Environment plays a part in the Mind, Body, Spirit connection. In order to be successful within this realm, the individual must exist in a stress-free, tranquil environment for the reconnections to begin. Chaos is the one true enemy of recovery. Mountainside’s colonial setting at the base of the mountains lends itself as a perfect location for recovery to begin and for the Mind, Body, Spirit program to work.

The Harley Medical Group Finds Awards Season Driving Demand For Eyebrow Lifts

The Harley Medical Group reports that high arches are the must-have look for this year, with Megan Fox, Eva Mendes and Beyonce sporting sculptured brows on the red carpet.

The Harley Medical Group, the UK’s largest cosmetic surgery provider, is reporting increased enquiries into non-surgical eyebrow lifts of around 39%, as women across the UK try to emulate the look of the stars.

The Harley Medical Group Finds Awards Season Driving Demand For Eyebrow Lifts

A spokesperson at The Harley Medical Group commented: “The non-surgical side of the business has seen real growth over the past year and our non-surgical specialists are seeing an increase in ‘combination treatments’, which offer affordable and effective solutions for lines and wrinkles. The eyebrow lift is a safe, lunchtime treatment, with the striking effect of reducing lines and opening up the area around the eye.”

According to staff at The Harley Medical Group clinics across the country, the increase in enquiries has been noticeable, with Angelina Jolie as the star possessing the looks which most women want their eyebrows to imitate. This impact on enquiries has been felt most within the London area, where the greatest increase in enquiries has been experienced.

Dr Nick Milojevic, Cosmetic doctor at The Harley Medical Group, commented, “The eyebrow lift is achieved with a combination of Botox and dermal fillers. The resulting effect gives a smooth, wrinkle free brow and helps make eyes appear larger and more open.”

Brows can be non-surgically lifted with a combination of Botox into the brow area, followed by an injection of dermal fillers into the arch of the eyebrow. The treatment is most effective if patients have an injection of Botox initially and then have the fillers treatment two weeks later. The Botox helps even out wrinkles and tighten the skin, while fillers add volume to plump and smooth creases. Results last for six to nine months.

Georgia Senior Communities Launch Mission for Haiti

As aid drives continue for Haiti, Dogwood Forest Assisted Living communities are partnering to launch “Hands on Haiti: Family to Family,” an ongoing aid mission to lend support towards the restoration efforts in Haiti and to support Dogwood Forest employees that were personally affected by the earthquake.

Georgia Senior Communities Launch Mission for Haiti

“The months ahead are going to be tough,” said Tami Tucker, life enrichment director at Dogwood Forest of Fayetteville.” “After the media leaves, they will still be there needing our help. Our residents, family members and employees are all pitching in.”

Dogwood Forest aid drives range from collecting packed large zip-closed bags containing cloths, undergarments and toiletries to collecting water, tents and baby formula.

Communities are teaming up with local organizations that are such as Hosea Feed the Homeless the Red Cross and local church ministries to transport items to Haiti.

Kathy Pittman, life enrichment director for Dogwood Forest of Gainesville, said the Haiti mission has spiritual significance for her. “The Spirit of the Lord reminded me of the miracle that Jesus did with two loaves of bread and five fish,” Pittman said. “I believe God will do the same for this ministry if we give. He will bless it and give it back multiplied for the people of Haiti.”

Connecticut Alcoholism Treatment Program Offers Comprehensive Approach To Treating Addictions

On a quiet afternoon, you can find a variety of individuals from all walks of life actively participating in Mountainside Addiction Treatment Center’s variety of programs. But, from an outsider’s perspective, you would never know that the activities these individuals are participating in, actually equip them for life-long continued self-recovery from their addictions.

Connecticut Alcoholism Treatment Program Offers Comprehensive Approach To Treating Addictions

Nestled in the foothills of the Berkshires, this unassuming facility specializes in offering comprehensive treatment programs for those struggling with addictions.

“In the early 90’s, we pioneered a program that set the standard for other drug rehab and alcohol treatment centers worldwide,” states a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment center. “We realized the importance of true comprehensive treatment options for individuals. We took that vision, developed a team of caring, compassionate, professionals ranging from Licensed and Certified Alcohol and Drug Rehab Counselors, Psychiatrist and Nurse Practitioners, to a Spiritual Advisor and Mind Body Spirit Program Director. All of these individuals work together, coordinating a unique treatment program that addresses each individuals’ needs, while combining traditional addiction treatment therapies with holistic approaches to aid in self-recovery.”

Optical Express Reports Successful Launch Of Ambassador Programme

The programme, available to all past laser and intraocular lens treatment patients of Optical Express, enables referrers to choose how they would like their referral reward – valued at hundreds of pounds – to be distributed. They can claim the reward themselves, give their friend or relative the full discount, or split the reward.

Optical Express Reports Successful Launch Of Ambassador Programme

After a trial run at the end of 2009, the Ambassador Referral Programme was officially launched in early 2010. Since then, over a thousand valued patients have taken advantage of the unique opportunity offered by the opticians.

“We’re extremely excited about how the programme has gone so far,” said David Carson, head of the Ambassador programme. “Everyone has really embraced the opportunity, and we’re seeing promising numbers and getting great feedback.”

All three options surrounding the allocation of the reward have been very popular, according to Carson.

“The fact that we’re seeing such a distribution of choices in terms of the reward really reaffirms to us that our patients appreciate the choice we’ve provided them with,” he said. “If one [option] had been overwhelmingly popular, we might have considered reworking the programme, but as it stands, the numbers indicate that our referrers like having all three options.”

Despite the relatively limited time frame in which the Ambassador Referral Programme has been running, patients have been extremely enthusiastic, Carson said.

“We’ve seen numerous patients referring three, four, even six of their friends and colleagues in the short time since we launched the programme,” he said. “Every day we’re getting calls from patients who have just been treated, anxious to receive their pack in the mail and start referring. The momentum that is building right now surrounding Ambassador is just phenomenal.”

Optical Express offers free laser eye surgery consultations at over 100 locations across the UK and Europe.

End Of NHS Funded Homeopathy Could Leave Some UK Residents With No Other Choice But To Seek Private Medical Insurance

After examining the claims of homeopathy, the House of Commons select committee on science and technology has concluded that the NHS should no longer provide funding for the treatment.

End Of NHS Funded Homeopathy Could Leave Some UK Residents With No Other Choice But To Seek Private Medical Insurance

Homeopathy – a 200-year-old complementary medical practice – uses heavily diluted substances which are thought to cause similar symptoms to the illnesses they are being used to treat; thus triggering the body’s natural healing process.

Millions of patients across the globe swear by homeopathic treatments while others dismiss it as nothing more than a ‘placebo’.

Whichever side of the debate you’re on, life insurance comparison website – QuoteBoffin.co.uk – believes that every patient should have the right to seek medical care they feel is appropriate for them.

A spokesperson for QuoteBoffin.co.uk said: “Freedom of choice is something that Britain prides itself on. Removing homeopathy f r o m the NHS medical roster means a percentage of patients are being denied the right to choose a method of treatment they believe is most appropriate or may work better for them than other forms of medicine.

With health insurance providers still offering homoeopathy treatments via carefully selected homeopathic specialists, patients wishing to pursue this line of treatment may have no other option but to seek private health cover.”

Complimentary therapies and medicines are available via some of the UK’s biggest health insurance providers such as AXA PPP and BUPA.

Patients needn’t worry about paying through the nose for homeopathic treatment out with the NHS claims QuoteBoffin.co.uk: “The end of homoeopathy on the NHS doesn’t mean the end of homoeopathy full stop. Health insurance premiums start f r o m as little as £5 per month which is a small price to pay for peace of mind and first class healthcare which covers homeopathy and beyond.

With the rise and rise of price comparison websites that allow consumers to check insurance prices, there’s no reason why you can’t get a good deal on an insurance package that allows you to retain freedom of choice with regard to medical care.”

Overcome Prescription Drug Addiction

Cliffside Malibu, a prestigious recovery facility on the Malibu coast, has long been a leading light in the California treatment community. Now, the center is pleased to announce its renewed commitment to helping clients overcome prescription drug addiction in a private and dignified setting.

Overcome Prescription Drug Addiction

Prescription drug addiction is personal problem. By the same token, prescription drug addiction treatment should be a private process. The best prescription drug addiction rehab facilities are those which most effectively shield their clients from public scrutiny. In the end, any inferior standard of care is simply unacceptable.

Those principles, in turn, are the bedrock of Cliffside Malibu’s treatment philosophy.

With its expert caregivers and posh amenities, Cliffside Malibu is a world-class institution. The prescription drug addiction treatment center has always catered to an elite clientele. Now Cliffside is expanding its mission, with the goal of delivering the best care on the planet to those individuals who need it. At Cliffside Malibu, nothing less than excellence will ever be acceptable.

“Our celebrity clients face enormous challenges on the road to wellness,” said Cliffside Malibu’s Program Director. “As a prescription drug addiction treatment center, it’s our role to ensure that they’re allowed to pursue recovery without having to look over their shoulders for paparazzi. We believe that our long record of success reflects the depth of our commitment to confidentiality.”

Unfortunately, that commitment to confidentiality is also precisely what distinguishes Cliffside from its competitors.

Vista Bay Drug Rehab Success Through Holistic Cocaine Addiction Recovery

Video footage posted on YouTube offers the public a rare glimpse at Narconon Vista Bay Rehab, a drug and alcohol treatment center that’s renowned worldwide for its holistic cocaine addiction recovery program. Vista Bay Drug Rehab is not the sort of facility that’s in the spotlight, despite the fact that Narconon has built a reputation for highly effective holistic treatment programs for over 40 years. While the facility is highly regarded (with recognition that extends to being awarded a Congressional Certificate), the staff is content to let the center’s success in helping patients finally overcome their addictions speak for itself.

Vista Bay Drug Rehab Success Through Holistic Cocaine Addiction Recovery

Brandon (his last name is with held to protect his identity), a 22 year old who fought addictions to cocaine, marijuana and alcohol, is a typical success story. After years of substance abuse, doctors told him he had suffered permanent nerve damage. He was literally throwing his life away. He enrolled at vistabay, hoping to turn his life around, and after graduation wrote:

“I have been clean now for five months, and I will continue on this track for the rest of my life… I feel blessed that the Narconon program saved my life and I have learned to live life, instead of letting my environment (sic) have a negative effect on me.”

There have been thousands of other patients like Brandon. Watching the video on YouTube, where a graduate of the program recounts everything he’s gained since completing treatment, including reaching the stage where he’s able to set and achieve goals in his life, is poignant and helps to put a human face on why Narconon expends so much effort in helping people overcome addictions.

Vista Bay Drug Rehab Center is different from most other drug rehab clinics. The patient is the priority and the treatment program for each patient is customized to meet their individual needs. An all natural, holistic approach to cocaine addiction is employed, rather than the clinical treatment that most centers rely on and the success rate of Vista Bay Rehab supports the idea that holistic treatment is a superior method.

Narconon has offered drug addiction rehabilitation for over 40 years and the cocaine addiction program at Vista Bay Rehab continues to gain recognition for its success rate. Even though 30 days of additional treatment are offered should a patient suffer a relapse within six months of graduating from the program, the staff is seldom called upon to make good on this promise. Based in California, with a beautiful and well equipped facility (which can be seen on the YouTube video), Vista Bay Drug Rehab is truly a permanent solution to cocaine addiction and other substance abuse issues.

Vista Bay Rehab and Bay Area Community Create Family Intervention Success

Family is the constant that everyone should be able to count on. When a family member loses their way, becoming caught in the net of drug or alcohol addiction, Narconon Vista Bay Rehab is the addiction treatment facility of choice for family members who care enough to take action. While the holistic program at Vista Bay Drug Rehab differs radically from most clinical addiction recovery programs, the staff and their ability to reach out to the family of patients is one of the key reasons that vista bay graduates succeed where so many others fail. Testimonial from G.G., a father whose addict son was spiraling out of control is typical of what family members say of the program:

Vista Bay Rehab and Bay Area Community Create Family Intervention Success

“Living at home after his third state rehab stay things went from bad to worse. Our son began to steal money from family and friends. He would pawn expensive household things to support his habit. His cocaine habit had torn our family apart and the decision was made, I would take my own son to jail. I was forcibly placing him in the car when my wife came to me with what she called, the answer. She had contacted a man named Francisco at a place named Narconon. I told her it was just another 28 day rip off, but today I am glad she insisted. My son is still at Narconon, not as a patient, but helping others with their problems. ”

Other testimonials from families in the Bay area community, including those beginning to show up as a video on YouTube, are common. They reflect the fact that Vista Bay offers an extremely effective addiction treatment program (often succeeding where others have failed multiple times) and that the staff and family interaction, whether through intervention, treatment or follow-up after graduation, is both valuable and recognized within the community.

NHS Struggles To Cope With Rising Levels of Obesity

Rising levels of obesity could see a substantial rise in the number of people applying for health insurance, money saving website Quoteboffin.co.uk has revealed.

NHS Struggles To Cope With Rising Levels of Obesity

With 20% of the population now classed as clinically obese and more people dying from weight related diseases than ever before, the UK’s obesity crisis is adding a heavyweight strain to the NHS that’s impossible to ignore.

At £2.6billion a year, the cost of obesity related NHS bills is asking tax payers to dig deeper and deeper into their pockets in order to cover the cost.

Causing most concern however is the effect that obesity is having on NHS resources and – in particular – waiting times which have begun to rocket as obesity related illnesses add even more patients to already crowded lists.

The fear of long waiting lists will be the main driver towards private medical insurance claims QuoteBoffin.co.uk: “With rising levels of obesity adding months, if not years, to already overcrowded waiting lists it’s no wonder that more consumers will begin turning their attention to private health cover in order to guarantee prompt and professional medical treatment.

Waiting lists can be especially frustrating for those who have strived to live a healthy lifestyle but could still find themselves at the end of a very long queue. Health insurance removes the unknown by guaranteeing peace of mind and first class medical care in equal measure.”

While Government and health organisations have strived to pepper the airwaves, internet and billboards with healthy eating campaigns such as 5-a-day and Milk Moustache, Britain’s obesity crisis shows little sign of letting up.

QuoteBoffin is calling for consumers to take note of current health trends and prepare for the future:

“Obesity in the UK is projected to grow by 10% every decade for the foreseeable future. Today’s social climate should encourage people to prepare for the future and view health insurance as an essential not a luxury. Quoteboffin.co.uk and its competitors allow consumers to compare the cost of insurance packages from market leaders; meaning preparing for future has never been so simple or affordable.”

Saline and Silicone Breast Enhancement: Which One Should Patients Choose?

Patients interested in undergoing breast enhancement surgery will eventually make the choice between saline and silicone implants. There was some concern surrounding saline implants in the 1990s over health issues in women. However, after extensive research and testing, there was no connection established. Currently, doctors and patients still have a choice between the two materials, and while the physician may make a recommendation, patients still need to consider the pros and cons of each to make their decision.

Saline and Silicone Breast Enhancement: Which One Should Patients Choose?

Made of a silicone shell and filled with non-toxic silicone gel, the manufacturer fills silicone implants to a specific size and seals them. The outer shell is available in a number of different textures, sizes, shapes, colours, and thicknesses to help doctors produce results as close to natural tissue as possible. It’s important to note, however, that this style requires a large incision below the breast for installation, and once in place, are not adjustable.

Saline implants are made from the same shell as silicone breast implants, but are filled with saline solution (saltwater) instead of silicone gel. These may come prefilled by the manufacturer, or unfilled, which are installed using a small incision in the belly button, around the areola, under the arm, or under the breast. Once in place, the doctor fills them to the desired size and seals them. Adjustments can be made to the firmness and size afterward with a minor surgery.

Drug and Alcohol Addiction Destroys Families No Further

“It took around 2000 hours to put this data base together,” commented Marcel Gemme, the Owner of Drug Rehab Services. The data base he is referring to is the first ever of its kind in Canada . Simply put, it is a one-stop-shop for your entire drug and alcohol treatment needs. “Our directory includes lists of outpatient, detox centers, medical detox locations, assessments, home detox information, residential treatment (free programs included), shelters, aftercare, AA meetings, and NA meetings. All of these services are listed, which you can find easily using the online locator,” said Marcel. He went on to say, “there are also specific categories to narrow down your search, such as youth treatment, treatment centers for woman, and centers for men.”

With this being one of the most extensive and easy to use data bases ever developed, it truly eliminates the problems of finding the right treatment. Many data bases that are created are sometimes difficult to use and may be incomplete, and in most cases you can’t even talk to a real counselor. “Canadians who are looking for the right help can search this directory for options in there own province and city, narrowing the search down to specifically what they need,” added Marcel. The internet can, unfortunately, not be user friendly, especially in a crisis situation looking for help. Drug Rehab Services found this to be one of the main problems Canadians were facing. And when it came down to locating help for drug or alcohol addiction, it sometimes was next to impossible to find the right treatment; this now has all changed.
