NUEVA YORK, NY–(Marketwire – August 9, 2010) – El verano es tiempo para practicar deportes
al aire libre, disfrutar de un asado con familiares y amigos, salir al
campo, ir la playa y mucho más. Sin embargo, algunas creencias comunes
entre la comunidad Hispana podrían estar impidiendo a esta comunidad
disfrutar de su salud. Por eso, un equipo de médicos del Hospital Mount
Sinai aclara cuatro de los mitos más comunes sobre el verano entre los
latinos.

1. Piel morena no necesita protección solar

“Es un error común entre los latinos creer que si el tono de piel es
oscuro, no es necesario protector solar. Para evitar el cáncer en la piel,
todos los latinos, sin importar su color de piel, deben aplicar protector
solar cada 30 minutos, la primera aplicación 30 minutos antes de exponerse
al sol y cubriendo todas las áreas que se expondrán al sol, con mínimo dos
onzas de bloqueador cada vez”, dice el Doctor y Cardiologo Samer Kottiech,
añadiendo, “no importa donde esté; asegúrese de usar protector solar. Si se
encuentra al aire libre necesita protector solar”.

2. Tomando café, gaseosas y cervezas, no necesito agua

Con temperaturas de más de 90 grados, el cuerpo debe estar hidratado y
pocas bebidas, hidratan su cuerpo como el agua. “El agua no es la opción
más popular entre los latinos”, dice el Doctor Carlos Driggs, especialista
en medicina interna, y agrega, “para evitar deshidratación, lo mejor es
tomar entre 1 y 2 vasos de agua por hora cuando se está al aire libre, si
se consume alcohol o hace ejercicio, se recomiendan 2-3 vasos por hora,
especialmente con temperaturas cada vez más altas. Asegúrese de llevar su
botella durante los días calurosos”.

3. Si la comida está cocinada, no se daña

Las clínicas reciben cada verano pacientes intoxicados por alimentos no
refrigerados adecuadamente. Las actividades al aire libre son muy populares
entre los latinos, lo cual aumenta los riesgos para esta población durante
le verano. El doctor Rajeev Sindhwani, especialista en cuidado
cardiovascular, recomienda, “se puede evitar intoxicación siguiendo 5
reglas: 1. tener manos limpias para manejar alimentos; 2. usar una tabla
para picar carne y otra para vegetales; 3. no dejar los alimentos al aire
libre por tiempo prolongado; 4. asegurarse que las carnes estén bien
cocidas; y 5. limpiar la parrilla antes de cocinar alimentos frescos, para
evitar la contaminación de residuos de otros alimentos cocidos”.

4. Si usted elimina la grasa, se pierde el sabor

“Existe la idea de que quitar la piel del pollo o reducir la grasa de la
carne, hará que la comida pierda sabor. Todos los alimentos, pueden tener
un sabor exquisito incorporando especias, frutas y verduras”, dice el Dr.
Eliscer Guzman, MD FACC, y agrega, “eso ayudará a que los latinos disfruten
una vida libre de dos de las enfermedades que más afectan a esta comunidad,
la diabetes y las enfermedades cardiovasculares”.

Guzmán también recomienda aprovechar las frutas frescas que son abundantes
durante el verano y están disponibles a buen precio. “Su barbacoa debe
tener tantos colores como alimentos saludables existen, verdes, amarillos,
rojos. También hay que cuidar los tamaños de las porciones, para medir el
tamaño de la carne, por ejemplo, asegúrese que esta sea del tamaño de la
palma de su mano”, agrego el Dr. Guzmán.

“Recuerde mantener su parrilla limpia, si quiere darle sabor de asado a sus
platos, puede usar un poco de carbón con sus condimentos predilectos, para
darle el toque de asado y el sabor a su carne”, recomendó El Dr. Guzmán.

NEW YORK, NY–(Marketwire – August 9, 2010) –  Summer is the time for playing outdoor sports, eating at picnics and BBQs with family and friends. However, some commonly made mistakes keep Latinos for being healthy. That is why a team of physicians at Mount Sinai Hospital took it upon themselves to debunk four of the most common summertime myths among Latinos.  

1. Since some Latinos have dark skin, they believe that they don’t need sunscreen
“A misunderstanding among Latinos is that, because many have dark skin tones, sunscreen is not necessary,” says Dr. Samer Kottiech, M.D. and Cardiologist. “However, to avoid skin cancer, everyone needs to frequently apply sunscreen regardless of their skin tone,” he adds. Dr. Kottiech recommends reapplying the sunscreen every 30 minutes after the first application. Also, be sure to cover your entire body and use at least one shot glass of sunscreen with each application.

2. If I drink beverages like coffee, soda and beer, I do not need water
With temperatures rising, it’s critical that your body is well hydrated. “Water is not the popular drink among most Latinos,” says Dr. Carlos Driggs, MD and specialist in Internal Medicine. “However, in order to avoid heat stroke, it is best to drink between 1-2 glasses of water before going outdoors, especially during summer.” Also, Dr. Driggs suggests to increase the consumption of water by 2 glasses an hour, if you are drinking alcohol or exercising, making sure you carry a bottle of water with you at all times to keep hydrated.

3. If food is cooked, it can’t spoil
During summer, emergency rooms see a lot of patients who contracted food poisoning due to food that was not properly refrigerated. Since outdoor eating functions are so popular among Latinos, they are often impacted. “One commonly made mistake is to leave food outside after a picnic or BBQ,” adds Dr. Rajeev Sindhwani, MD, Cardiovascular Disease Physician. “You can avoid food poisoning by following a few simple rules: 1. Handle food with clean hands; 2. Use separate cutting boards for meats and vegetables; 3. Don’t leave food outdoors; 4. Use a meat thermometer to ensure meat is cooked thoroughly,” and 5. Make sure to clean the grill or cover it with aluminum foil before cooking any fresh meat or vegetables to avoid contamination from previously cooked food residue.

4. If you trim the fat, you lose the flavor
Another misconception among Latinos, is if they remove the skin from their chicken or trim the fat from their beef, their food will be tasteless. “Meats will taste just as flavorful by incorporating a variety of spices, fruits and vegetables,” says Dr. Eliscer Guzmán, M.D. F.A.C.C. “By taking this approach, Latinos will live a healthier life and avoid cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, two diseases currently plaguing the Latino community.” Dr. Guzman recommends taking advantage of the abundant fresh fruits during the summer that are available at a reasonable price.

Dr. Guzmán adds, “Portions sizes can make a tremendous difference to your overall health also. A common rule of thumb for portions is to make sure the size of meat is roughly the size of the palm of your hand.”

MENOMONEE FALLS, WI–(Marketwire – August 9, 2010) – Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. (NYSE: ALC)

Highlights:

--  Increased average private pay occupancy by 122 and 8 units over the
    second quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, respectively
--  Increased overall and private pay rates by 5.8% and 3.8%, respectively
    over the second quarter of 2009
--  Increased Adjusted EBITDAR as a percent of revenues to 33.6%, up from
    32.3% in both the second quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010
--  Adjusted EBITDAR as a percent of revenues would have been a record
    34.4% (excluding One-Time Charges)
--  Extended and expanded share repurchase program authorizing up to
    $15 million through August 9, 2011

Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. (“ALC”) (NYSE: ALC) reported net income of
$2.9 million in the second quarter of 2010. During the second quarter of
2010, ALC recorded the following “One-Time Charges”: an impairment charge
relating to a non-cash write-down of certain equity investments ($1.3
million net of income tax benefits); expenses associated with the
realignment of our divisions ($0.3 million net of income tax benefits);
and write-off of expenses incurred with an expansion project that the
company decided not to complete ($0.1 million net of income tax benefits).
Excluding the One-Time Charges, net income in the second quarter of 2010
would have been $4.6 million as compared to net income of $3.9 million in
the second quarter of 2009.

“Second quarter operating results were solid. For the fourth quarter in a
row we achieved positive private pay occupancy and revenue growth,”
commented Laurie Bebo, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Despite
continuing challenges in the economy and in particular with high
unemployment rates, we continue to be confident in our ability to increase
private pay occupancy and Adjusted EBITDAR margins throughout 2010.”

For the first six months of 2010, ALC reported net income of $6.5 million.
Excluding the One-Time Charges, net income for the first six months of 2010
would have been $8.2 million compared to a net loss from continuing
operations and a net loss of $7.7 million and $7.9 million in the first
six months of 2009, respectively. Excluding an impairment charge related
to the non-cash, non-recurring write-off of all goodwill ($14.7 million net
of income tax benefits) recorded in the first quarter of 2009, net income
from continuing operations and net income for the first six months of 2009
would have been $7.0 million and $6.8 million, respectively.

Diluted earnings per common share for the second quarter and the first six
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were:

(1) Excludes the goodwill write-off, net of income tax benefits.

One-Time Charges in the quarter ended June 30, 2010 resulted from:

1.  The reclassification of a decline in the fair market value of equity
    securities from a component of the Company's stockholders' equity to
    the Company's income statement. These equity securities represent
    legacy investments transferred from Extendicare Inc. in connection with
    the capitalization of ALC in November 2006.
2.  The realignment of ALC's divisional level management structure. In
    connection with this realignment, ALC incurred certain expenses
    primarily related to personnel.
3.  The decision not to complete an expansion project due to higher than
    anticipated site costs. We continue to evaluate existing owned
    properties for expansion growth.

Certain non-GAAP financial measures are used in the discussions in this
release in assessing the performance of the business. See attached tables
for definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR, reconciliations of
net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR, calculations of
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR as a percentage of total revenues, and
non-GAAP financial measure reconciliation information.

As of June 30, 2010, ALC operated 211 senior living residences comprising
9,280 units.

The following discussions include the impact of the One-Time Charges and
exclude the impact of discontinued operations unless otherwise specified.

Quarters ended June 30, 2010, June 30, 2009, March 31, 2010

Revenues of $58.3 million in the second quarter ended June 30, 2010
increased $1.6 million or 2.9% from $56.7 million in the second quarter of
2009 and increased $0.4 million or 0.8% from the first quarter of 2010.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2010 was $14.5 million or 24.9%
of revenues and

--  increased $1.2 million or 9.1% from $13.3 million and 23.4% of revenues
    in the second quarter of 2009; and
--  increased $0.9 million or 6.7% from $13.6 million and 23.5% of revenues
    in the first quarter of 2010.

Adjusted EBITDAR for the second quarter of 2010 was $19.6 million or 33.6%
of revenues and

--  increased $1.3 million or 7.3% from $18.3 million and 32.3% of revenues
    in the second quarter of 2009; and
--  increased $0.9 million or 5.0% from $18.7 million and 32.3% of revenues
    in the first quarter of 2010.

Second quarter 2010 compared to second quarter 2009

Revenues in the second quarter of 2010 increased from the second quarter of
2009 primarily due to higher average daily revenue as a result of rate
increases ($2.2 million) and an increase in private pay occupancy ($1.2
million), partially offset by the planned reduction in the number of units
occupied by Medicaid residents ($1.8 million). Average private pay rates
increased in the second quarter of 2010 by 3.8% over average private pay
rates for the second quarter of 2009. Average overall rates, including the
impact of improved payer mix, increased in the second quarter of 2010 by
5.8% over comparable rates for the second quarter of 2009.

Both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR increased in the second quarter
of 2010 primarily due to an increase in revenues discussed above ($1.6
million) and a decrease in residence operations expenses ($0.5 million)
(this excludes the loss on disposal of fixed assets), partially offset by
an increase in general and administrative expenses ($0.8 million) (this
excludes non-cash equity based compensation) and, for Adjusted EBITDA only,
an increase in residence lease expense ($0.1 million). Residence
operations expenses decreased primarily from lower labor expenses.
Staffing needs in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the second
quarter of 2009 decreased primarily because of a decline in the number of
units occupied by Medicaid residents who tend to have higher care needs
than private pay residents. In addition, general economic conditions
enabled us to hire new employees at lower wage rates. General and
administrative expenses increased as a result of expenses associated with
an all-company conference held in the second quarter of 2010 and expenses
associated with the realignment of our divisions.

Second quarter 2010 compared to the first quarter 2010

Revenues in the second quarter of 2010 increased from the first quarter of
2010 primarily due to one additional day in the second quarter ($0.6
million), an increase in the number of units occupied by private pay
residents ($0.1 million), and higher average daily revenue as a result of
rate increases ($0.1 million), partially offset by the planned reduction in
the number of units occupied by Medicaid residents ($0.4 million).

Increased Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR in the second quarter of
2010 as compared to the first quarter of 2010 resulted primarily from a
decrease in residence operations expenses ($0.9 million) (this excludes the
loss on disposal of fixed assets) and an increase in revenues discussed
above ($0.4 million), partially offset by an increase in general and
administrative expenses ($0.4 million) (this excludes non-cash equity-based
compensation). Residence operations expenses decreased primarily from
decreases in utility expenses resulting from normal seasonal fluctuations.
General and administrative expenses increased as a result of expenses
associated with an all-company conference held in the second quarter of
2010 and expenses associated with the realignment of our divisions.

Six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009

Revenues of $116.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased
$2.4 million or 2.1% from $113.8 million in the six months ended June 30,
2009.

Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $28.1 million,
or 24.2% of revenues and

--  increased $3.3 million or 13.1% from $24.8 million and 21.8% of
    revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Adjusted EBITDAR for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $38.3 million,
or 33.0% of revenues and

--  increased $3.5 million or 10.2% from $34.7 million and 30.6% of
    revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to six months ended June 30, 2009

Revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased from the six
months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to higher average daily revenue
from rate increases ($4.2 million) and an increase in private pay occupancy
($2.1 million), partially offset by the planned reduction in the number of
units occupied by Medicaid residents ($3.9 million). Average private pay
rates increased in the six months ended June 30, 2010 by 3.8% over average
private pay rates for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Average overall
rates, including the impact of improved payer mix, increased in the six
months ended June 30, 2010 by 5.6% over the comparable rates for the six
months ended June 30, 2009.

Both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR increased in the six months ended
June 30, 2010 primarily from a decrease in residence operations expenses
($2.2 million) (this excludes the loss on disposal of fixed assets), and
the increase in revenues discussed above ($2.4 million), partially offset
by an increase in general and administrative expenses ($1.1 million) (this
excludes non-cash equity based compensation) and, for Adjusted EBITDA only,
an increase in residence lease expense ($0.3 million). Residence
operations expenses decreased primarily from lower labor and kitchen
expenses. Staffing needs in the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared
to the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased primarily because of a
decline in the number of units occupied by Medicaid residents who tend to
have higher care needs than private pay residents. In addition, general
economic conditions enabled us to hire new employees at lower wage rates.
Kitchen expenses were lower due to new group purchasing plans and lower
overall occupancy. General and administrative expenses increased primarily
from upfront costs associated with transitioning payroll and benefits from
a third party vendor to in-house, expenses associated with an all-company
conference held in the second quarter of 2010, and expenses associated with
the realignment of our divisions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income from continuing operations before
income taxes, interest expense net of interest income, depreciation and
amortization, equity based compensation expense, transaction costs and
non-cash, non-recurring gains and losses, including disposal of assets and
impairment of long-lived assets (including goodwill) and loss on
refinancing and retirement of debt. Adjusted EBITDAR is defined as
Adjusted EBITDA before rent expenses incurred for leased assisted living
properties. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR are not measures of
performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, or GAAP. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR as
key performance indicators and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR
expressed as a percentage of total revenues as a measurement of margin.

We understand that EBITDA and EBITDAR, or derivatives thereof, are
customarily used by lenders, financial and credit analysts, and many
investors as a performance measure in evaluating a company’s ability to
service debt and meet other payment obligations or as a common valuation
measurement in the long-term care industry. Moreover, ALC’s revolving
credit facility contains covenants in which a form of EBITDA is used as a
measure of compliance, and we anticipate EBITDA will be used in covenants
in any new financing arrangements that we may establish. We believe
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR provide meaningful supplemental
information regarding our core results because these measures exclude the
effects of non-operating factors related to our capital assets, such as the
historical cost of the assets.

We report specific line items separately, and exclude them from Adjusted
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR because such items are transitional in nature
and would otherwise distort historical trends. In addition, we use
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR to assess our operating performance
and in making financing decisions. In particular, we use Adjusted EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDAR in analyzing potential acquisitions and internal
expansion possibilities. Adjusted EBITDAR performance is also used in
determining compensation levels for our senior executives. Adjusted EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDAR should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities, and other
income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as
a measure of profitability or liquidity. We present Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDAR on a consistent basis from period to period, thereby,
allowing for comparability of operating performance.

CAMBRIDGE, MA–(Marketwire – August 9, 2010) –  Myomo, Inc., the developer of neuro-robotic stroke rehabilitation technology, has launched myomo@home, a program that enables stroke survivors to purchase the Myomo System directly for use at home. The system is a neuro-robotic rehabilitation device that helps impaired stroke survivors increase movement in their arms, and has been clinically proven effective from two days to 21 years post stroke. Used in the clinical setting since 2008, the Myomo System is now available directly to consumers with a physician’s prescription. Myomo has successfully completed FDA requirements to demonstrate that the device is safe for use in the home.

“Our goal is to make the Myomo System available to as many people as can benefit from it,” explains Steve Kelly, Myomo’s CEO. “Stroke is the leading cause of disability in the US. There is a great need to restore independence to those who have suffered a stroke. Our new program expands access to world-class rehabilitation therapy and technology to any individual at home regardless of geography.”

“We were able to get therapy with the Myomo System, but the nearest clinic was a four hour round trip drive,” said Dean Kenefick, who suffered a stroke in 2004. “When Myomo started a pilot program for home use, we purchased one. I use the Myomo device three times a week and consistently get more return of muscle and movement.”

A Model for Delivering High-Frequency Stroke Rehabilitation

myomo@home is a comprehensive program that leverages evidence-based techniques to restore arm movement. It combines the Myomo System with therapy from a trained and certified Myomo physical or occupational therapist. Direction from a therapist and adherence to a prescribed protocol is critical to the success of stroke patients using the Myomo System at home. 

“Myomo was developed based on a well-known principle that if you work at it, you will get better at it,” said Steve Williams, MD, Chief, Chairman, Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at Boston Medical Center. “Just like learning and getting better at a sport or a craft, re-learning to move your arm requires repetitive practice to keep getting better at it.”

To acquire the product, Myomo has a defined process that includes an in-person or a Web-based video screening and the participation of a clinical partner or a local therapist. If the patient doesn’t have access to a local therapy resource, Myomo works with them to connect with a local therapist through its independent therapist network. 

Myomo provides therapist training and certification through a multi-level certification program that is completed either in-person or live via the Web. Each therapy protocol is customized for the individual patient and follow-up is conducted to adjust treatment for the most potential improvement. Unlimited phone customer service is included with the program.

About Myomo

Myomo develops neuro-robotic technology that helps impaired stroke survivors regain movement in their arms. The company combines technology developed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), with rehabilitation professionals trained at the best hospitals in the country, to help stroke patients regain independence. For more information, visit www.myomo.com.

VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwire – Aug. 9, 2010) –Marketwire would like to issue a correction for the press release issued at 12:30 PM ET. The URL for Vigil’s Financial Statements contained incorrect HTML coding. The proper link is http://www.vigil.com/?Investors:Financial_Statements. The corrected release follows:

 Vigil Health Solutions Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VGL) (“Vigil”) announces the results of operations for the quarter ending June 30, 2010.

Business highlights

• Grew bookings 26% for the quarter to $955 thousand compared to $755 thousand for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009.
• Increased backlog 14% to approximately $3.1 million compared to approximately $2.72 million at June 30, 2009.
• Revenue was $641 thousand for the three-months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $1.37 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of 53%. The decrease reflects lower bookings in FYE2010 and the timing in projects commissioned.
• Expanded revenue from service and maintenance agreements and one-off sales by 72% during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 to $298 thousand.

“I am encouraged with our increased sales bookings which I believe is a positive indication of both the improvement in the economy, as well as our continued investment in sales and marketing,” stated Troy Griffiths, President and CEO of Vigil Health Solutions Inc.

Financial Results

Revenue for the three-months ended June 30, 2010 was $641 thousand compared to $1.37 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of 53%. The decrease in revenue reflects both the reduced number and size of the projects completed during the quarter. Because Vigil records revenue using the completed contract method the number of projects completed this quarter directly reflects a lag related to the timing of the US economic downturn.

Bookings for the quarter were $955 thousand up 26% compared to $755 thousand in the three-month period ended June 30, 2009. The increase in bookings relates to an improvement in the United States economy, specifically, in funding availability for new construction in the seniors living industry as well as the Company’s investment in it sales program.

At June 30, 2010, Vigil had a backlog of approximately $3.1 million (including $1.64 million in deposits and progress billings, recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet) a 14% increase compared to approximately $2.72 million (including $1.34 million in deposits and progress billings, recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet) at June 30, 2009. This increase is the result of booking more new projects than recorded as revenue during the quarter.

The gross margin percentage for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was 45% compared to 48% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The gross margin during the period was with in management’s expectations of margins of between 42% and 47%.

Expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $465 thousand down 22% from operating expenditures of $599 thousand for the same period ended June 30, 2009. The Company decreased expenditures in all areas. These decreases were the result of a combined strategic effort to focus resources where they would be best utilized.

Net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 was $180 thousand, or $0.002 per share compared to a gain of $66 thousand, or $0.001 per share for the previous year. The increase in losses is primarily attributable to the lower in revenue in the period.

Detailed financial statements along with Management Discussion and Analysis have been filed with SEDAR and may be viewed on the Company web site (http://www.vigil.com/?Investors:Financial_Statements) or at (www.sedar.com).

Financial information will be mailed to entitled security holders on August 16, 2010. Or, upon notice to the Company, entitled security holders may request a copy of financials in advance.

Summary Financial Information

Non-GAAP Measure

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, we are disclosing Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as a supplementary indicator of operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before, interest, income taxes, amortization, stock based compensation and currency gains or losses including derivative foreign exchange differences. We are presenting the non-GAAP financial measure in our filings because we use it internally to make strategic decisions, forecast future results and to evaluate our performance and because we believe that our current and potential investors and analysts use the measure to assess current and future operating results and to make investment decisions. It is a non-GAAP measure, may not be comparable to other companies and it is not intended as a substitute for GAAP measures.

MONTVALE, NJ–(Marketwire – August 9, 2010) –  SRS, the leader in high-performance hybrid EMRs, today announced that Sandhills Pediatrics has selected the SRS hybrid EMR for its 14 providers. Sandhills Pediatrics has four offices in the greater Columbia, South Carolina, area and has served the community’s families since 1975.

“I see 38-45 patients a day, so I wanted an EMR that would easily adapt to my workflow and not hinder the pace of my schedule,” says Kevin O. Wessinger, M.D., Sandhills Pediatrics. “The SRS hybrid EMR allows me to practice the way I like, while eliminating the gross inefficiencies of a paper-centric office. Implementation was smooth — we didn’t have to compromise our productivity at all, even during the first few days!”

“The stopwatch doesn’t lie. During our EMR selection process, we looked at several traditional, point-and-click systems and a free online EMR,” says Ken Fenchel, Practice Administrator, Sandhills Pediatrics. “We timed how long it takes to perform common workflow tasks with each EMR and realized that SRS is the easiest and fastest by far. The higher level of productivity is critical to our physicians’ ability to provide quality care to our high volume of patients.”

SRS was designed with direct input by its high-performance physicians to provide them with a system that fits their needs, helps them to work more efficiently, and enables them to achieve a rapid return on their investment. SRS, which has built the largest national network of high-performance practices that successfully use an EMR, attributes its unmatched adoption rate to ease of use, fast implementation, and an accelerated timeframe for training physicians and office staff.

“If more practices took the time to do comparative benchmarking, the rate of successful EMR adoptions would increase,” says Evan Steele, CEO of SRSsoft. “We are confident that Sandhills — like our other pediatric practice clients — will see immediate and ongoing benefits with SRS throughout their offices, and we are very happy to have them join our growing national network of 5,000 providers.”

TAMPA, FL–(Marketwire – August 9, 2010) –  Sage North America today announced that Sage Healthcare Division, a leading provider of electronic health record (EHR) and practice management software, is showing its support for National Health Center Week (August 8 – 14, 2010) by offering volunteer assistance at community health centers across the country during the week through its ProjectSERVS (Sage Employees Reaching out with Volunteer Service).

National Health Center Week is an annual celebration designed to raise awareness about the valuable work that community health centers do. During this week, health centers across the country host events to educate people on healthcare and the types of services provided by the centers. Many events feature free health screenings, food and refreshments, prominent speakers, and more.

“National Health Center Week is a tremendous opportunity to highlight the vital role health centers play in their community. We are appreciative of Sage’s support to make the week even more successful for health centers across the country,” said Dan Hawkins, Senior Vice-President of Policy and Research at the National Association of Community Health Centers. “Sage’s efforts are helping to strengthen health centers in numerous communities, and we stand ready to work with everyone in the years ahead to make sure all people have a healthcare home at a community health center.”

Sage Healthcare Division has supported the event for four consecutive years. This year, Sage employees are volunteering their time at several health centers across the U.S., including:

• Health Linc in Michigan City, Indiana; Knox, Indiana; and Valparaiso, Indiana – Sage employees will host a back-to-school fair and carnival in which each clinic will provide free sports physicals, immunizations, school backpacks stuffed with supplies and lunch will be served at each site; and
• New Hanover Health Center in Wilmington, North Carolina – Sage employees will be scanning paper medical records into the clinic’s electronic system.

“Sage continues to dedicate itself to furthering the mission of improving patient outcomes and quality of care in the United States. Our involvement with National Association of Community Health Centers’ National Health Center Week proves our commitment to this goal,” said Lee Horner, Senior Vice President of Sales for Sage Healthcare Division. “Sage strives to continuously serve communities through programs where Sage employees volunteer countless hours and thousands of dollars to support worthy causes every year, including community health centers, which we salute for the important role they play in our healthcare system.”

Sage has been a longstanding provider of information technology solutions to the CHC and Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) market, said Tony Ryzinski, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Sage Healthcare Division, and maintains a strong commitment to this segment by developing products that address its unique needs. 

“We maintain a close relationship with our CHC partners and continually solicit their input and recommendations,” Ryzinski said. “Many of our CHC partners provide critical insight into the needs of their clinics, providers and patients, and Sage recognizes the increasingly important role of the CHC and FQHC in today’s evolving healthcare economy, as their mission broadens in providing access to care to broader segments of the population.”

LEXINGTON, MA–(Marketwire – August 9, 2010) –  Imprivata®, Inc., the company that simplifies and secures user access, today announced that St Andrew’s Healthcare, the UK’s largest not-for-profit mental health charity, has selected Imprivata OneSign to provide 3,500 employees with faster and more efficient access to a range of applications via single sign-on (SSO) and strong authentication with smart cards. The rollout, completed in June 2010 across the organisation’s four sites in Basildon, Birmingham, Mansfield and Northampton will allow clinical and support staff to increase the speed at which they can securely access patient information and raise the levels of patient care.

The implementation of OneSign will improve clinical productivity by providing users with a single point of secure access though which they can connect to multiple applications, including electronic patient records, HR, Finance, a range of intranet-based applications and its in-house knowledge system.

With OneSign St Andrew’s will bolster the levels of security around user access management without compromising productivity or patient care. OneSign will also ensure IT staff can quickly and efficiently audit access to patient information, helping to avoid malpractice by uncovering instances of shared passwords. This is especially valuable with increasingly strict compliance regulations around the issue of psychiatric medicines and drugs.

St Andrew’s is regularly audited by the Care Quality Commission and the Department of Health, who assess the standards of care being provided at healthcare organisations across the UK. As part of the process, auditors request access to random patient records and other data to ensure these are being managed securely. Previously, auditing employee access to patient data would involve manual printing of SQL tables, however with OneSign IT staff can access records at the click of a switch, simplifying compliance reporting.

“The nature of our work within mental health organisations involves both sensitive patient data and the prescription of psychiatric drugs — which underscores the importance of having complete control of who accesses our IT systems without jeopardising the productivity of our staff,” said Paul Kirkpatrick, Director of IT. “Working with Imprivata to implement single sign-on and strong authentication has enabled us to ensure that only authorised employees can access patient information and applications whilst also making sure we can improve the efficiency of our auditing for regulatory bodies.” 

Additionally, as a 24-hour psychiatric hospital, St Andrew’s has to ensure that medical staff can access data and applications round-the-clock and the self-service password reset module within OneSign will help reduce some of the 400 password reset calls to the IT helpdesk per month, freeing up one full-time employee for other activities.

“Patient data security is one of the primary IT concerns within the healthcare sector today, but not at the expense of employee productivity or patient safety,” said Omar Hussain, CEO and President, Imprivata. “Imprivata OneSign has long been a trusted name for both the NHS and private healthcare institutions across the globe, and we look forward to helping St Andrew’s simplify and secure access to patient data, improve workflow and ultimately the level of care delivered by its staff.”

About Imprivata
Imprivata is the leading independent vendor focused on simplifying and securing user access. By strengthening user authentication, streamlining application access and simplifying compliance reporting across multiple computing environments, customers can align security with user workflows and realize substantial productivity gains while lowering IT costs.

Imprivata has received numerous product awards and top review ratings from leading industry publications and analysts. Headquartered in Lexington, Mass., Imprivata partners with over 200 resellers, and serves the access security needs of more than 1,000 customers around the world. For more information, please visit www.imprivata.com.

INDIANAPOLIS, IN–(Marketwire – August 9, 2010) – Indianapolis-headquartered iSALUS Healthcare was recently selected by Indiana Health Information Technology Extension Center (I-HITEC), as a collaborative statewide initiative led by Purdue University, as an electronic medical records (EMR) preferred software partner. This partnership and endorsement allows iSALUS to serve Indiana’s healthcare community as part of a federal stimulus program to implement EMR software systems.

“The entire team at iSALUS has a vested and personal interest in being chosen as a preferred software provider,” said Michael Hall, president and founder of iSALUS Healthcare. “These are the doctors we trust to take care of our families, and we are honored to be chosen to help them provide the very best care to all of their patients.”

iSALUS was selected by I-HITEC from among hundreds of EMR software firms. The company was chosen based on its ability to assist healthcare providers in implementing electronic medical records, allowing them to qualify for federal stimulus money, a proven technology platform, previous experience with small to medium size healthcare practices, ability to quickly and efficiently implement a large number of new providers, and affordable pricing. Through this partnership, iSALUS and I-HITEC will provide Indiana healthcare providers with a full electronic medical records solution, education, training, implementation, technical and customer support.

“The Indiana Health Information Technology Extension Center is tasked with helping 2,200 Indiana primary care providers (PCPs) achieve Meaningful Use of electronic health record technology by 2012,” said Monica Arrowsmith, I-HITEC’s director. “We are confident we can reach this ambitious goal in partnership with iSALUS Healthcare as one of our certified EMR software partners. Together we will bring understandable, implementable and affordable EMR solutions to Indiana’s healthcare community.”

About Indiana Health Information Technology Extension Center (I-HITEC)
Indiana Health Information Technology Extension Center (I-HITEC) is a federally-designated state-chartered non-profit led by Purdue University. The organization was formed as a result of the 2009 federal Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act and is funded through a four-year, $12 million grant. I-HITEC provides subsidized EHR adoption assistance, Meaningful Use coaching and discounted EHR products and services to Indiana’s small physician practices, public or critical access hospitals, community health centers or rural health clinics as well as other medical settings that serve the uninsured, underinsured, underserved or other at-risk populations. I-HITEC is tasked with educating and helping these entities transition from traditional, paper-based electronic health record management systems to federally-mandated electronic health record (EHR) technology. This initiative benefits Indiana through improvements to the state’s existing health information technology delivery system which will ultimately improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. To receive reimbursement from the federal stimulus program, Indiana’s healthcare providers must achieve and prove Meaningful Use of EHR software. I-HITEC plays a critical role in this process.
