LA GRANGE, IL, February 08, 2013 (Press-News.org) Smart-ER is pleased to announce the release of its system for patient contact at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Emergency Medicine in Las Vegas, Nevada. Smart-ER has created a software solution for all types of patient interactions within hospitals including after an inpatient discharge, emergency department visit or specialty procedure.
Smart-ER's proprietary methodology improves care quality and helps alleviate the financial burden that avoidable admissions, especially 30-day readmissions, exact on the healthcare system. Based on over a decade of research and development, Smart-ER optimizes callback workflow and dramatically improves care transitions.
Smart-ER President, Dr. Tom Scaletta, explained "Smart-ER revolutionizes patient recontact. Our system includes well being assessments, automatic notifications, and a smart phone application for directors to monitor any open issues. As CMS and other health insurance providers link satisfaction to value-based purchasing programs, hospitals and providers have safety, loyalty and financial incentives to utilize Smart-ER in order to rapidly improve outcomes, build reputation, and decrease costs."
Smart-ER helps swiftly address any patient concerns, a practice crucial to achieving outstanding satisfaction ratings. Proactive engagement heightens the patient experience and readies health care systems for value-based purchasing. With statistically valid performance metrics, staff members are held accountable for their patient interactions.
Next-day assessments address patient well being, medication compliance, and adherence to follow-up plans. Recording stability in the patient's post-visit condition and addressing any setbacks helps improve outcomes and reduces claims. Smart-ER alerts department leaders of serious concerns, allowing for expedited risk mitigation.

Contacting patients right after a hospital encounter, smoothes transitions of care. Smart-ER optimizes the work flow of a nurse in performing post-discharge phone calls and such health coaching is proven to prevent readmissions. In summary, Smart-ER improves provider-patient communication, improves patient satisfaction and outcomes, and has a significant positive impact on the financial bottom line.

Dip in California Small Business for Sale Transactions Last Month, Says BizBen Index
2013-02-08
The total of 1,179 small and mid-sized business for sale deals closed in California last month represents a 3.6% decline from the 1,223 completed transactions recorded during January of last year, according to the BizBen Index which tracks transactions involving the sale of small businesses throughout the state.
"Part of the reason fewer deals closed last month is that some of the sale contracts that might have been wrapped up in January were pushed into completion back in December, when possible. That's because many owners wanted to avoid the higher capital gains ...

HTG, Inc. Lands Another Nationwide Multi-Million Dollar Contract
2013-02-08
HTG, Inc., headquartered in Vancouver, WA, is in a growth spurt, often bidding against the biggest in the industry and lately, more often than not, winning. To Macaulay, this win is more evidence that he can be a lot smaller than his competitors to get the larger contracts in systems integration. Though the contract is another of many similar system conversions for HTG, the project involves client sites in 38 of 50 states. Macaulay says scar tissue and scalability are the keys to making projects of this size manageable.
"Sure at the onset these multi-site, nationwide ...
Ignition interlocks under Ohio law: What you need to know
2013-02-08
Operating a vehicle under the influence (OVI), also known as driving under the influence (DUI), is a serious charge in Ohio. Conventional penalties -- like fines and jail time -- can be very steep for Ohioans convicted of a drunk driving offense.
Yet, some of the most significant penalties for OVI are those that are unique to drunk driving crimes. The possibility of being forced to install an ignition interlock device in your vehicle is not only inconvenient and embarrassing, but could also mean substantial monetary costs.
Ignition interlocks force you to take a breath ...
Multiple drunk driving convictions could mean prison time in Ohio
2013-02-08
An Ohio man sentenced in December of 2012 found out the hard way that repeat drunk driving convictions can lead to serious trouble. Ricky Slabaugh, 49, was hammered in court with a five year prison sentence after racking up his ninth felony conviction of driving under the influence.
Not every repeat drunk driving offense results in such a steep penalty. Nonetheless, Mr. Slaubaugh's example serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of avoiding conviction when it comes to repeat drunk driving charges.
Penalties get progressively steeper for multiple DUIs

New workers' comp parking lot injury case from Oregon Court of Appeals
2013-02-08
When you're injured at work, you are entitled to workers' compensation benefits, which cover the cost of your medical treatment, provide you with partial wage replacement and in some instances pay for vocational rehabilitation. Yet, your employer or your employer's workers' comp insurer may try to say money by denying or limiting your claim for benefits.
One of the most common ways an employer or insurer tries to deny benefits is by saying that the injury did not actually occur at work -- in other words, that you were injured while doing something outside the scope of ...
Fatal car accidents cost South Carolina a staggering amount each year
2013-02-08
In the average year, more than one thousand South Carolinians lose their lives in preventable motor vehicle accidents. According to government data, motor vehicle crashes are the number one killer of Americans age 5 to 34, and are one of the top ten causes of death for all age groups.
The human toll of fatal car accidents is truly devastating -- nothing can replace the loss of a loved one. Yet, there are also substantial financial costs for those left behind when a family member loses his or her life in a car crash.
Loss of future earnings most significant monetary ...
NHTSA to require noise standards for hybrid vehicles
2013-02-08
Hybrid vehicles have a lot of benefits. Because they get much better gas mileage than traditional vehicles, hybrids are excellent both for the environment and for their owners' pocketbooks. However, they also pose a unique danger that many people are not aware of -- because hybrid engines are so quiet, pedestrians and cyclists often cannot hear them, making car accidents that much more likely. The risk is even higher for individuals with visual impairments who rely on their sense of sound to let them know when vehicles are approaching.
In response to this problem, the ...
Gang of eight, Obama present immigration reform proposals in Washington
2013-02-08
On Monday, January 28, 2013, a Bipartisan group of Senators introduced a blueprint for Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR).

Meanwhile, President Obama is determined to address the proposal and it is rumored that the Whitehouse's vision for reform will be somewhat more ...
