ROCHESTER, NY–(Marketwire – July 27, 2010) –  ImageXpres Corporation (PINKSHEETS: IMJX) today announced that its Surg-i-Scan™ “digital” Surgical Safety Checklist system has been approved by Apple Corporation and is now available as an Apple software “app” via the Apple iTunes Online Store. The Surg-i-Scan™ “digital” surgical safety checklist software has been designed to reinforce and document improved surgical safety protocols in hospitals and outpatient clinics using or considering use of surgical safety checklists during surgical procedures.

John Zankowski, ImageXpres President and CEO, states, “We are extremely pleased that the ImageXpres Surg-i-Scan™ ‘Digital’ Surgical Safety Checklist Software App has been fully tested and approved by the Apple software development team, and is now ready for large-scale utilization by hospitals, clinics and physicians’ offices. As previously announced, the downloadable software is available as a free, evaluation application by the hospital surgical staff to determine its effectiveness and performance in their own operating rooms.

“We are most confident that doctors and nurses will find the Surg-i-Scan™ Safety Checklist software extremely useful in its present form, and we are confident that use of the software app by surgeons and nurses will result in major sales of standalone Surg-i-Scan™ software sales. In addition, we are anticipating sales of hospital-wide client server extensions of the Surg-i-Scan™ safety checklist software, with certain HIPAA privacy and security features incorporated. Also, a very important result is the expected exponential increase in sales and utilization of physical, analog Surg-i-Scan™ Safety Checklist boards by hospitals just now considering adoption of a surgical safety checklist protocol.”

Mr. Zankowski adds, “Once the hospital surgical team has downloaded and used the free software app, customized Surg-i-Scan™ software, with requisite enhancements and design fields specific to that institution’s approved protocol, it will be licensed to the hospital for a fee, on a one-time, per user basis. ImageXpres will provide all upgrades and support for the software, as well as back-up storage for hospital provider personnel, at a yearly or monthly rate. In the custom Surg-i-Scan™ software versions, several unique productivity, storage and communication features will be available for hospitals and clinics seeking to incorporate surgical safety checklist protocols into their Electronic Health Record (EHR).

“ImageXpres is working closely with ITX Corporation, a key Apple software development partner, also located in Rochester, NY, along with a number of medical surgical supply organizations, in order to reach thousands of hospitals and deliver custom software, in a timely manner. ImageXpres and ITX have identified major software, hardware systems, and services offerings for the growing healthcare market, beginning with the Surg-i-Scan™ Safety Checklist System, and both companies expect to capitalize on the competitive product advantages of their strategic business relationship. ImageXpres recently announced the hiring of a lead apple software developer, and the company is in the process of becoming a certified Apple software developer.

“The U.S. market is estimated at over $25 million annually, based upon the number of surgical operating suites, and could reach over $100 million annually by 2012. The market for other invasive procedures where safety checklists are used, such as IV / Transfusions, emergency room, diagnostic procedures, labor/delivery, is ten times as large.

“ImageXpres currently manufactures and markets analog, custom-designed Surg-i-Scan™ Safety Checklist boards for operating rooms, and the new digital software product will augment the effectiveness of the analog Surg-i-Scan™ Safety Checklist boards, providing valuable documentation of all surgical procedures on an ongoing, daily basis. As an example of the synergy between digital and analog surgical safety checklist products, ImageXpres has been working with a Texas hospital consortium, designing and manufacturing custom analog surgical safety checklist boards, and the digital software version can provide effective, timely documentation of the improvements generated by use of surgical safety checklists within the group.”

Mr. Zankowski, concludes, “We are very excited about the availability of our Surg-i-Scan™ ‘digital’ Safety Checklist product, as it is one is one that truly can benefit every hospital and surgical suite no matter where they are located. The WHO study has documented the benefits of surgical safety checklists for hospitals and patients, in terms of lowered deaths and lowered surgical procedural errors, thus saving lives and improving healthcare delivery. Our Surg-i-Scan™ ‘digital’ Surgical Safety Checklist product is unique in the industry, and now makes it affordable and easy for any hospital, in any country, to test out the usefulness of a surgical safety checklist process, and make immediate improvements in patient safety. Our goal is to make the digital checklist very affordable for millions of hospital providers, thus generating strong market pull for this unique, patient safety product.”

NightHawk Radiology Selects Cisco Unified Computing System to Increase Business Agility, Lower Data Center Costs

Posted on July 27, 2010 Written by Annalyn Frame

SOURCE: Cisco

Cisco Unified Computing System and Nexus Solutions Help NightHawk Radiology Provide Mission-Critical Healthcare Radiology Services to 26 Percent of U.S. Hospitals

SAN JOSE, CA–(Marketwire – July 27, 2010) –  NightHawk Radiology Services, which provides high-quality, cost-effective services to approximately 1,600 healthcare sites — including 26 percent of all U.S. hospitals — has selected the Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) Unified Computing System® as a highly available and scalable platform for the company’s new main data center, which consolidates many smaller server sites around the country into a single primary site. NightHawk Radiology processes 3 million radiology studies per year with an average turnaround time of under 20 minutes per study, uses the flexible architecture of the Cisco Unified Computing System and its virtualized environment to support its goal of providing best in class radiology services and ensuring patients receive timely service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Cisco Unified Computing System unites computational, network, storage access, and virtualization resources in a single energy efficient system that reduces IT infrastructure costs and complexity, helps extend capital assets and improves business agility.

In addition to its impact on customer-facing services, deploying the Cisco Unified Computing System and Nexus 5000 data center switches has resulted in lower costs, easier management, and improved business agility for NightHawk Radiology. With the new system, the IT team reduced servers by 50 percent, reduced the time needed to deploy and manage servers by 80 percent, reduced cabling infrastructure by a factor of five, and can provision servers in just 20 minutes..

KEY FACTS / HIGHLIGHTS

  • NightHawk provides a complete suite of high-quality, cost-effective solutions, including professional services, and an advanced, proprietary clinical workflow technology, to increase efficiencies and improve the quality of patient care. NightHawk’s team of U.S. board-certified, state-licensed and hospital-privileged physicians provide radiology healthcare services around the clock, and require a mission-critical data center to support timely information delivery.
  • NightHawk has configured eight Cisco Unified Computing System blades as VMware ESX servers, each hosting approximately 10 virtual machines, with plans to double the number of virtual machines in the future. NightHawk also uses the Cisco Nexus 1000V Switch, a software switch that operates inside the VMware ESX hypervisor to give the network team complete visibility into the virtual machine environment for easier management.
  • NightHawk Radiology has deployed a full suite of Cisco data center solutions. In addition to the Cisco UCS and Nexus 5000 Series data center switches, the company also deployed Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders, Cisco MDS storage switches, and the Cisco Catalyst® 4900 Series switch as part of the overall infrastructure. These solutions will enable NightHawk to deploy unified fabric in the data center that is more cost-effective, lower in power and cooling demands, and easier to manage.
  • Cisco Services and World Wide Technology supported the project with design, planning and deployment to help NightHawk achieve its goal to design a next-generation system that scales easily and provides investment protection. In addition to the Cisco data center technologies, the solution includes a VMware virtual environment and NetApp storage infrastructure. 
  • The Cisco Unified Computing System enables NightHawk to achieve:
    • Competitive Differentiation through High Availability: The Cisco Unified Computing System delivers the high availability that is crucial in an industry where server outages not only cause revenue loss, but also delay delivery of critical patient care. The ease of moving virtual machines between servers helps ensure adequate compute capacity between midnight and 5:00 a.m., when the company receives three-quarters of its images. Server operating system upgrades can be quickly achieved by moving virtual machines to a different blade, and moving them back after. With UCS, Nighthawk no longer has to postpone software updates out of concern for reduced production capacity.
    • Simplified Management: Using the Cisco Unified Computing System Manager service profiles, an administrator can change an operating system configuration and then apply it to multiple server blades at the same time, saving time and reducing configuration errors. Firmware upgrades are easier as well, because the IT team simply attaches the upgrade to the template, and then Cisco UCS Manager automatically updates all server blades associated with that template. This means the IT team can update all servers in just 30 minutes compared to the 20 hours required previously.
    • Lower Costs: NightHawk has made significant cost savings through the need to maintain fewer physical servers as well as halving the number of cables and network interfaces needed to support virtualization. This means more of NightHawk’s power and cooling budgets can be used on servers. 
    • Increased Business Agility: The Cisco Unified Computing System Manager has decreased the time needed to deploy and manage servers by 80 percent, while also increasing stability and availability.

SUPPORTING QUOTES

“Systems availability is a paramount concern in our industry as server outages, even brief ones, can prohibit the delivery of patient care. Because medical practitioners and patients depend on our systems to be 100 percent reliable, we looked for technology with the highest level of redundancy and resiliency. With the Cisco Unified Computing System and Nexus solutions, we’ve experienced extremely high availability, coupled with lower costs and simplified management. Cisco UCS delivers the high availability we need to attract and retain customers.”

Riverside’s Internal Medicine Program provides a holistic learning environment. “The program prepares residents to practice independently in general osteopathic Internal Medicine or to enter into a sub-specialty fellowship program,” said Dr. John Jurica, Riverside Medical Center vice-president of medical affairs.

Kalorama Comes Out With Seventh Edition of Its IVD Tome

Posted on July 26, 2010 Written by Annalyn Frame

SOURCE: Kalorama Information

NEW YORK, NY–(Marketwire – July 26, 2010) –  Every two years, healthcare market research firm Kalorama Information releases the highly anticipated update to its industry leading report, “Worldwide Market for In Vitro Diagnostic Tests, 7th Edition.” In seven best-selling editions, Kalorama Information’s lead diagnostic analyst Shara Rosen has provided a total view of every aspect of the market for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) testing, in one complete volume.

“We’re very pleased to release this completely updated edition of our best-selling title,” said Bruce Carlson, publisher of Kalorama Information. “The idea behind our unique report is that the entire market can be captured in one volume and business planners can use it as a key reference.”

This go-to reference for the IVD industry reveals the trends that are impacting the field now, and provides a realistic forecast five years into the future for companies already participating in or considering entry into this growing industry. All of the major segments of clinical lab testing are covered.

Kalorama has reorganized the presentation of the IVD market in this latest edition in a manner that better reflects how the industry has evolved. For instance, there is an increased focus on lab automation. Due to a lack of trained lab technologists to run the more complex new set of molecular and histological tests and immunoassays, a proliferation of test and lab automation tools has been launched that remove precious human resources from mundane pre-analytical and sample tracking tasks to make time for more sophisticated ones.

Center for Technology and Aging Participates in National Effort to Reduce Readmissions by Improving Care Transitions

Posted on July 26, 2010 Written by Annalyn Frame

SOURCE: Center for Technology and Aging

OAKLAND, CA–(Marketwire – July 26, 2010) –  The Center for Technology and Aging (CTA), is collaborating with the Administration on Aging (AoA) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on funding innovative care transition projects for older adults and persons with disabilities through the national system of Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRC).

CTA’s “Technologies for Improving Post-Acute Care Transitions,” (Tech4Impact) grants are designed to encourage ADRC programs (www.aoa.gov/AoARoot/Grants/Funding/index.aspx) to expand use of technologies that promote better patient transitions from hospitals, rehabilitation centers or nursing facilities back to homes or other community settings.

According to The New England Journal of Medicine, avoidable hospital readmissions within 30 days of discharge cost Medicare $17.4 billion annually.

“We are privileged to be a partner in this national effort to improve care transitions,” said David Lindeman, director of the Center for Technology and Aging. “Improving care transitions and lowering hospital readmissions is a national priority. Use of selected technologies, such as remote patient monitoring and medication management technologies, is associated with reduced hospitalizations, so it makes sense to focus on expanding their use.”

Tech4Impact grants will complement grantee funding made available through the $60 million AoA and CMS initiative, “Implementing the Affordable Care Act: Making it Easier for Individuals to Navigate their Health and Long-Term Care through Person-Centered Systems of Information, Counseling and Access.” Complete details are available at: www.aoa.gov/AoARoot/Grants/Funding/index.aspx.

CTA will make Tech4Impact funds available to states that are awarded grants by AoA/CMS for program Option D: ADRCs Evidence-Based Care Transition Programs. (AoA/CMS grant applications are submitted electronically at www.grants.gov.) The CTA application for states will be released by September 30, 2010, and full proposals will be due October 15, 2010. Grants are expected to commence by January 2011. Additional guidelines pertaining to the Tech4Impact grants are available at www.techandaging.org 

ADRCs (www.adrc-tae.org) are community-based programs designed to streamline access to long-term care services under the auspice of the Administration on Aging, an arm of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

In addition to the Tech4Impact grants, CTA administers grant-funding programs for projects that seek to expand the use of medication optimization and remote patient monitoring technologies for the care of older Americans.

The Center for Technology and Aging (www.techandaging.org) supports the rapid adoption and diffusion of technologies that enhance independence and improve home and community-based care for older adults. Through grants, research, public policy involvement and development of practical tools and best practice guidelines, the Center serves as an independent, non-profit resource for improving the quality and cost-effectiveness of long-term care services. The Center was established with funding from The SCAN Foundation (www.thescanfoundation.org) and is affiliated with the Public Health Institute (www.phi.org) in Oakland, CA.

Posted on July 26, 2010 Written by Annalyn Frame

SOURCE: Typenex Medical

Easy to Use System Provides Modernization Over Legacy “Band and Form” Products

CHICAGO, IL–(Marketwire – July 26, 2010) –  Typenex Medical, LLC, a leader in transfusion recipient verification solutions, has launched their latest barcoded blood band innovation, the FlexiBlood Recipient Verification System.

The FlexiBlood Recipient Verification System was developed using feedback from blood bankers and nurses to ensure that the product improved on the legacy “band and form” recipient verification systems available today. FlexiBlood uses GS1-128 linear barcodes and can accommodate pre-printed patient information labels to reduce transcription errors at the bedside and in the blood bank. It also boasts a barcoded specimen tube sticker that stays attached to the band during application to help promote the accurate labeling of the pre-transfusion specimen at the patient bedside.

“Blood bankers asked for a solution that leverages barcodes to reduce transcription errors and provides a way to help clinical staff label specimens accurately to avoid wrong blood in tube errors,” said Scott Leece, General Manager of Typenex Medical. “Nurses wanted a solution that is easy to use, comfortable for patients, and that supports them throughout the specimen collection and blood administration processes. FlexiBlood was designed to meet all of these requirements.” 

FlexiBlood has additional features that differentiate it from other offerings, such as the ability to be easily reapplied if removed during the patient stay using the Typenex R3 Attachment System and directions for use on every FlexiBlood form. “Based on clinical feedback and the many features of FlexiBlood, we are confident that it is a better solution than Ident-A™ Blood or Securlink®,” stated Leece.

The FlexiBlood Recipient Verification System has two standard forms and six standard insert band colors. For more information on FlexiBlood, please call (866) TYPENEX or visit http://www.typenex.com/.

CytoSorbents Corporation to Exhibit at the Force Health Protection Conference and ATACCC

Posted on July 26, 2010 Written by Annalyn Frame

SOURCE: CytoSorbents Corporation

MONMOUTH JUNCTION, NJ–(Marketwire – July 26, 2010) –  CytoSorbents Corporation (OTCBB: CTSO), a critical care focused company using blood purification to treat life-threatening illnesses, announced that it is exhibiting at two leading military healthcare conferences in August. The first is the 13th Annual Force Health Protection Conference (FHP) at the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, Arizona, where CytoSorbents will exhibit in Booth #507 from August 10-11, 2010 (http://phc.amedd.army.mil/fhpc/). The FHP conference is expected to gather more than 2,000 healthcare medical providers, policymakers and vendors from around the world, focused on the latest research, services and products for disease prevention and treatment, safety and homeland security for both military and public health purposes.

The second is the Advanced Technology Applications for Combat Casualty Care (ATACCC) Conference to be held at the Tradewinds Beach Resort, in St. Pete Beach, Florida. CytoSorbents will be exhibiting from August 16-19, 2010 in Booth #19. ATACCC is the Department of Defenses’ premier scientific meeting that addresses critical advances in trauma medicine and the unique medical needs of the warfighter (https://www.ataccc.org/). At both venues, the Company will be showcasing its blood purification technology with a hands-on demonstration of how the device works, how it is easily administered, and how it could be applied in a number of clinical situations facing critically wounded military personnel.

Dr. Phillip Chan, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, “Members of our military forces put their lives on the line every day, not only in Iraq and Afghanistan, but all over the world. The injuries they sustain in protecting our freedom include penetrating wound injuries, infection and sepsis, and blast, trauma, crush and burn injuries that are extremely complex and severe. Standard of care therapy remains predominantly supportive, and does not address the cytokine storm and subsequent severe inflammation that can lead to multi-organ failure and death in these patients.” 

Dr. Chan continued, “We believe that our flagship product CytoSorb™, a powerful cytokine removal technology currently in human clinical trials, is the key to changing the current treatment paradigm of ‘supportive care and watchful waiting’ to one of ‘active treatment,’ potentially saving more lives. In addition, blood purification using CytoSorb or other resins under development, may solve many other vexing problems facing the military and the DOD, such as how to treat soldiers or civilians exposed to chemical or biologic warfare. Exhibiting at these major conferences continues our efforts to build funding support for our technologies within the military and the DOD and to expand the number of clinical applications for our products.”

About CytoSorbents and CytoSorb™

CytoSorbents Corporation is a critical care focused therapeutic device company in clinical trials to treat severe sepsis, the end result of “overwhelming infection,” with a novel blood purification device called CytoSorb™. Severe sepsis afflicts more than 1 million people in the United States and an estimated 18 million people worldwide each year, killing one in every three patients despite the best treatment. In the United States, more die from severe sepsis than from either heart attacks, strokes or any single form of cancer. Severe sepsis is typically triggered by bacterial infections like pneumonia, or viral infections like influenza. However, it is the body’s abnormal immune response to the trigger that leads to severe inflammation and the unregulated, massive production of cytokines, often called “cytokine storm,” that then causes multi-organ failure and often death. CytoSorb™ is a cartridge containing highly porous polymer beads that are designed to filter cytokines and treat potentially fatal cytokine storm. As blood is pumped repeatedly through the CytoSorb™ cartridge using standard dialysis equipment, the beads bind and remove cytokines and other toxins from blood. The treated blood is then returned to the patient. The Company is currently conducting its European Sepsis Trial – a multi-center, randomized, controlled clinical trial using CytoSorb™ to treat up to 100 patients with severe sepsis in the setting of respiratory failure. Pending a successful trial, the Company will seek CE Mark approval and commercialization of CytoSorb™ in the European Union and then commence clinical trials in the U.S. for approval. Importantly, cytokine reduction via CytoSorb™ has broad applicability to a number of other critical care diseases where cytokine storm plays a detrimental role, including burn and smoke inhalation injury, trauma, acute respiratory distress syndrome, advanced influenza, acute pancreatitis and others. CytoSorb™ is one of a number of different resins designed for various medical applications, including improved dialysis, the potential treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, rhabdomyolysis in trauma, removal of chemotherapy during treatment of cancer with high dose regional chemotherapy, drug detoxification and others. Additional information is available for download on the Company’s website: www.cytosorbents.com

Mortgages – Points and Interest Rates Go Hand in Hand

Saga Insurance

 Relating to mortgages, many individuals tend to look at factors and interest rates as to separate issues. In actual fact, they will virtually always be used as leverage in opposition to every other. 
Points and Curiosity Charges
Two critical parts of a home mortgage are the interest rate and factors charged at the outset. The rate of interest is solely the cost of borrowing the cash and applies to the total quantity borrowed, to wit, six percent for example. The points on a home mortgage are an up-front fee that equates to a share of the loan. As an example, one level equates to an up-front fee equal to at least one percent of the overall loan value. Paying one level on a $300,000 loan would equate to a charge of $3,000. 
Many people jump to the conclusion that points are unhealthy and should be averted in any respect costs. While this may look like widespread sense, it’s not true in all situations. From the lender’s view point, factors and interest rates work hand in hand. When you’ve got a novel cash scenario, you may be able to save a ton of curiosity over the life of a loan by paying elevated factors at the outset of the loan. Usually, the extra you pay in points, the decrease the rate of interest on the loan. 
For those who intend to carry onto your property for a very long time, paying most points on the mortgage makes sense when you have the cash.

It is a high flood threat that’s most likely to make your own home uninsurable. In line with a latest survey, 6.5 million houses are already at risk from flooding of which 1.5 million are in high danger areas. The government has completed flood defences in lots of such areas and protection for an extra 80,000 homes is due this year. But issues have additionally been expressed a couple of further a hundred and twenty,000 new homes planned for the Thames Gateway which are potentially in a high “in danger” zone. Yet many areas remain vulnerable. And if international warming continues, by 2030, the 1.5 million in danger might mushroom 3.5 million. Back in 2003 the Association of British Insurers (ABI) agreed the ideas which committed UK insurers to offering house and contents insurance for properties in areas that are assessed to be at a flooding danger as soon as in seventy 5 years or more. The rider was that the flood defences had to be already in place or would be accomplished by the tip of 2007.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has the duty of growing and maintaining these flood defences however within the insurance business there’s widespread concern that inadequate progress is being made. Because of this the insurers have has warned the federal government that there might be widespread withdrawal of insurance cowl if progress is stepped up.
In the intervening time, these in areas threatened by flood water may discover their insurance premiums soaring. While the insurance coverage industry agreed to supply insurance cowl, their dedication was simply to maintain premiums at “cheap” levels. But there was no definition of what “cheap” means. Because of this premium will increase of 60% have been common with up four hundred% will increase in dangerous areas. In a tiny variety of cases, cover has been withdrawn altogether, principally in country areas the place DEFRA considers the price of defending a cluster of a few houses to be uneconomic.
Environmentalists warn that until DEFRA will get it is skates on, the UK ‘s current bill for flood injury might rise from £950 million a yr, to £3.2 billion. In spite of everything, the common insurance coverage declare for family flood injury is £30,000 – that’s even higher than fireplace damage. And localised occasions like the 2004 flood at Boscastle, Cornwall , can price the insurers over £15 million.
If you’re in any doubt whether or not your private home or proposed dwelling, is in a flood danger area, you need to go to www.atmosphere-agency.gov.uk. This is DEFRA’s web page the place you possibly can test whether or not they think your property is at risk of flooding. Their maps were originally designed for planning purposes and provide data on a put up-code basis.
Whilst many insurers use the DEFRA info, others like More Than, have their own flood maps. These assess properties individually slightly than put up code areas. Which means in case your current insurer will increase your premium for flood threat and uses the DEFRA data, you may still be able to get a cheaper fee from an insurer using it’s personal flood data if its data identifies that your property is beyond the “at risk” zone.
The ABI has not too long ago added to the pressure on DEFRA to accelerate the building and upgrading of flood defences. It has warned that except the government will increase its spending on flood defences, the insurance coverage business may not proceed their dedication to the 2003 principles.
