Author Dimensional Insight Customer Main Line Health Discussed Clinical Analytics at National Healthcare CMO/CMIO Summit
Burlington, MA (PRWEB) March 13, 2014
Dimensional Insight, a developer of business intelligence (BI) solutions, today announced that Harm Scherpbier, M.D., vice president & chief medical information officer of Main Line Health, a Dimensional Insight customer, presented a session titled, “Does CPOE Guide Clinicians to the Best Choices? Clinical Analytics for Insulin Regimen Tracking,” last week at the National Healthcare CMO/CMIO Summit. In the session, Dr. Scherpbier discussed how Main Line Health, a community health system serving suburban Philadelphia, uses The Diver Solution™ (Diver), Dimensional Insight’s BI platform, to strengthen its diabetes regimen tracking.
The National Healthcare CMO/CMIO Summit was an invitation-only event for senior-level medical executives and solution providers. It was held March 6-7 at Red Rock Resort & Spa in Las Vegas. The agenda included keynote presentations, case studies and interactive sessions, as well as one-on-one meetings.
In his presentation, Dr. Scherpbier discussed how Main Line Health implemented computerized physician order entry (CPOE) guidelines for inpatient insulin therapies. Physicians, nonetheless, were using CPOE to build suboptimal insulin therapy order sets. Using Diver, Main Line developed an endocrinology dashboard application to analyze insulin regimen ordering patterns and correlate the choice of insulin regimen with patients’ glucose outcomes.
Main Line uses the application to give direct, physician-specific feedback, as well as target education and training to hospital physicians. Insights are used to further refine CPOE guidance so that Main Line can improve the quality of care delivered.
“We are seeing rapid growth in the application of analytics to clinical data among our healthcare customers, as clinical data becomes more widely available electronically,” said George Dealy, Dimensional Insight’s vice president of healthcare applications development. “Providers are increasingly using healthcare analytics to monitor, analyze and drive practice changes in disease management that improve patient outcomes and quality of care.”

New Infographic Raises Awareness About Data Breaches, Hacking, and What You Can Do to Protect Yourself
North Huntingdon, PA (PRWEB) March 06, 2014
A new infographic from Century Negotiations, Inc (CNI) reveals startling information about the world of hacking and data breaches. Backed by solid research, including 9 years of studies done by ID Theft Center, the infographic entitled “EXPOSED: Hacking and Data Breaches – The Business of Stealing Information” strives to educate CNI’s clientele and blog readers about this increasingly common form of data thievery. The graphic is available to view on their blog for free, and reveals ways the consumer can protect his/herself from becoming a victim.
As technology increases at an exponential rate, the vulnerability of the consumer continues to demand more attention. It’s not just the PC that’s connected to the internet anymore. For most people, it’s their cell phone, which holds a trove of personal data (including photos, videos, and text messages). Then there’s the rapidly expanding audience of people utilizing wearable technology, such as watches and smart glasses. Even further, home appliances and automobiles are starting to integrate internet technology. It’s inevitable that connected technology will eventually envelope just about every activity people engage in on a daily basis. Although convenient, these advances necessitate new habits to protect personal information.
Along with the consumer responsibility comes the need for businesses and corporations to adopt vigilant privacy policies and technological protection to keep data thieves out. The most recent large scale attack was towards Target stores in December, amidst the busiest shopping season of the year, where a reported 40 million financial records were stolen. Another 70 million records were further compromised containing items like a name and email address. Though unsettling, this is not the first time an event like this has happened. It begs the question then: What are companies doing to crack down on the gaps in technology which allows these hackers to be successful?
While companies fight to keep up with sleuth hackers, there’s also a new level of consumer responsibility that people must take on as citizens of the internet community in order to protect their own privacy. In the blog post and infographic, CNI shares several preventative measures to take that will make it much harder for a hacker to steal one’s information. Bottom line – it’s up to the consumer to make their data well protected and not become the low-hanging fruit that hackers so eagerly seek out.
As a debt settlement company, CNI wants to make sure their clients and blog readers are well equipped not just for the financial roads of life, but also developing best practices that will permeate into their lives as a whole. This includes better online security to protect items like a social security number (SSN) and credit card information, ensuring that hackers will not be able to access this information and then fraudulently charge up the credit or bank accounts.
CNI was founded by Dave Leuthold in 2003 and is now recognized as a leader in the debt settlement industry. He was also involved with the founding of The Association of Settlement Companies and is on the board of the American Fair Credit Council. CNI has settled more than $ 600,000,000 of debt for their clients.

Online Speech Therapy Provider Connects Students with the Future of Learning Through Official Partnership with Double Robotics
Austin, Texas (PRWEB) March 05, 2014
Austin, March 4, 2014 – TinyEYE Therapy Services is taking telepractice to a new level of educational innovation. They announced this morning their official partnership with Double Robotics, a California-based robotics company known for their telepresent robot. TinyEYE has begun using this robot in delivering their speech therapy services in Canada and the USA.
Telepractice is a term that refers to practitioners using telecommunication technologies to deliver their treatments. In speech therapy, the most common type of telepractice is using a web camera and a web-enabled software tool to connect with the student while they’re at school. Traditionally, telepractice has been one static location to another static location. “Bringing mobility into the telepractice model enables the therapist to engage in the environment of the student,” said Greg Sutton, TinyEYE Chief Executive Officer. “They can go right into the classroom, sit next to the student at their desk or stand next to the teacher. They get a better overall feeling of the environment that the student is in and this enables the therapist to better treat that student.”
The engagement that speech therapists can achieve while using the telepresent robot is the key to achieving positive outcomes for students. TinyEYE Co-Founder and Speech Therapist, Marnee Brick adds, “Through our 8 years of experience of delivering online speech therapy to thousands and of thousands of kids, we’ve learned that engagement is the secret to learning. By bringing robots to schools, we are facilitating engagement and also preparing children for the future they are going into, rather than the world that we came from.”
Media & industry are invited to learn more about TinyEYE’s innovative use of robots in the education system by joining Greg Sutton for his talk at SXSWedu or by visiting http://www.TinyEYE.com/RobotsinSchools. Event participants will get an opportunity to be the robot!
Session: Special Education: Bring your Robot to School!
Time: 9:30am, Wednesday, March 5, 2014
Location: Austin Convention Center Ballroom EF at SXSWedu

TinyEYE is a global leader in bringing online Speech-Language Pathologist and Occupational Therapist services to schools. Providing therapy services in 5 languages across 12 countries, TinyEYE has reached students with no access to these vital services due to geographic, social, or economic barriers. Thousands of students have been served via its award winning online therapy platform which has been proven effective by numerous independent research studies. In an official partnership with Double Robotics, TinyEYE is on the forefront of innovation in bringing the next generation of telepractice by introducing robots in the classroom. TinyEYE’s mission is to mend spirits, grow smiles, and engage children in their lives.

Tips On Trips Spots The Hot Trends In Summer Programs For Teens
Baltimore, Maryland (PRWEB) February 28, 2014
“Summer programming for teens has become a very competitive industry. Parents are looking for ways to occupy their younger teens that cannot yet hold jobs. And, parents of older teens are looking for resume builders and experiences from which their teens can craft college essays,” says Eve Eifler, co-owner of Tips on Trips and Camps, Inc.
Co-owner Carey Rivers adds, “The trends that seem to be driving the summer program industry right now are demands for shorter programs to accommodate the busy teen schedule and demands for more bang for the buck.”
Eifler agrees, “While programs abroad used to be strictly delineated between language, community service, or adventure travel; today, teens can choose one program in which they can do all three. And, teens can participate in two distinctly different trips in one summer under the same organization. To allow for this, these organizations provide escorted flights from one country to the next destination.”
Rivers highlights social entrepreneurship as another hot trend in teen summer camp programming. She says, “these programs teach teens business-based solutions to social problems like poverty and ecology. Students learn environmental stewardship and leadership skills at top American universities or in foreign settings such as South Africa or Switzerland.
Experiences abroad for teenagers have been a popular thing for years. A high school student can explore a foreign culture by studying on a college campus or staying with a host family. A new type of experience, however, is one in which a student has already developed a passion at home and wants to experience that skill in a foreign setting. Eifler agrees, “A student can paint in a small community in Ireland or develop their writing in Prague. They can explore public health issues and learn preventive medicine in Nicaragua or do a photography workshop in London.”
Food and sustainable living is certainly a new area of interest to many teens and parents alike and the industry has responded with a multitude of farm to table programs, both domestically and abroad. Rivers adds, “Kids have become disconnected from the land and from where their food is derived. With some trips to Italy, teens can learn organic farming and culinary skills and form an appreciation for the entire process of food production and eating. In Nicaragua, they can practice their Spanish and work on healthy gardening with native people.”
Specialty camps have existed for a while now, but it was not until very recently that those specialties were linked to religious philosophy. Jewish specialty programs have sprung up in outdoor adventure, science, business and sports. Eifler says, “The idea of the traditional Jewish co-ed camp will always remain; but, for the teen who missed that experience or is just not a traditional camper, he can pursue an interest in science or business alongside a Jewish cohort and, simultaneously, understand things like how Jewish ethics inform business decisions.”
Every teen program director wants to go where “no man has ever been,” but has to balance that with parents’ concerns over safety. Rivers agrees, “Teen tour operators have responded with a wealth of more stringent security protocols to ensure that travel is safe for kids no matter how far or distinct. It is not uncommon to find teen programs that travel to Uganda or Vietnam. Eastern Europe has also become a major teen destination to countries like Croatia and the Czech Republic.”
Tips on Trips consultants have been advising parents for the last 43 years. They have U.S. regional offices in Maryland, Washington, D.C., New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida, Texas, Missouri, Illinois, California, and abroad in France and Barcelona. Parents can receive expert advice by telephone, email or in person.
