Los Angeles, CA, February 21, 2017) – Modern Living with kathy ireland® announces an exclusive interview with the executives of  Airbiotics, a company offering a healthy alternative to indoor cleaning.

Robert Meirovich, CEO of Airbiotics began by speaking about the challenges with cleaning indoor spaces in a healthy manner. “Indoor air pollution is considered to be the fourth environmental threat to our health. Eighty million Americans suffer from allergies, asthma, and respiratory diseases. Fifty percent of those diseases are actually caused by indoor air pollution. As a population, we are actually making things worse. We are infusing our homes with different antibacterial disinfectants. Those products cause the problem to be even worse because we are infusing our living space with allergens and scents. Did you know that the average American consumes around forty pounds of dust annually? And this dust becomes a reason for having an itchy and stuffy nose, dry eyes, and headaches.”

Amanda Ortiz, Airbiotics’ Vice President of Operations, continued by explaining how Airbiotics overcomes these challenges in a safe and healthy way. She said, “By using natural probiotics, we have the upper hand. Our probiotics can go through your indoor living spaces and remove the allergens, dust mites, bacteria, mold spores, and other things that trigger your upper respiratory issues in a natural way.”

The show’s Vice President of Programming, JL Haber added, “Staying healthy is very important and knowing that your typical indoor cleaners can actually make things worse is life changing. Airbiotics is offering an alternative that can help people in the long run.”

To learn more about Airbiotics, tune into Bloomberg International on Saturday, February 25, 2017 at 7:00am GMT. The full interview can be seen by clicking here.

Los Angeles, CA – February 21, 2017 — Access Innovations President Marjorie M.K. Hlava and Vice President of Marketing and Communications Heather Kotula are featured on the award-winning, global TV show, Worldwide Business with kathy ireland®. The segment’s topic is how businesses can make their data more searchable and more easily found.

Access Innovations is a thought-leader dedicated to enriching information assets. The company offers an extensive line of information management and database construction products for academic institutions, government agencies and industry. Access Innovations’ services include design, construction, maintenance of databases, taxonomy construction, metadata planning and content management.

Hlava says that many businesses face challenges as they try to keep track of relevant information. She says, “The problem right now is that there is so much information being generated every single day that people are just swimming in oceans of information, and it’s not tagged and retrievable in a way that they can pull it out. That means they’re spending a lot of time searching for answers and not finding them.”

Kotula elaborates on this problem and how Access Innovations can help solve it. She explains, “Marjorie mentioned oceans of information, and I’d like to draw an analogy there. If a marine biologist is researching a particular shark, they tag that animal with something that will uniquely identify it. When we’re searching for information, items that are tagged with unique identifiers — or unique combinations of words, in our case — it’s much easier to reduce the number of matches down to a manageable number.”

JL Haber, Vice President of Programming for Worldwide Business with kathy ireland®, is excited to feature Access Innovations. He says, “In this day and age of information overload, it’s easy to be inundated with information. Access Innovations has come up with an innovative solution to help us keep track of our information and easily find exactly what we need. We’re thrilled to have Access Innovations on our show.”

Bitcoin Plus in 01/2016 was trading at $.08 USD and today  is over $3.40 USD.

Bitcoin Plus – The new up and comer of cryptocurrency

Bitcoin Plus is relatively new to cryptocurrency; however, it has been around long enough to show that it could be one of the new major players in the cryptocurrency market with the likes of Bitcoin. At the time of this writing, a Bitcoin was valued at $1,023 USD, and a Bitcoin Plus in 01/2016 was trading at $.08 USD and today  is over $3.40 USD. What is amazing is how fast the Bitcoin Plus has grown in value. Currently, there are around 90,000 coins in circulation. The code behind the coin is fully open source, and it utilizes a peer-to-peer managed registry. Inflation is fixed at 20% per year, with a maximum total number of coins set at 1 million.

You’ve probably heard about Bitcoins and how they are somehow linked to the Silk Road and other clandestine activities. That may all be true but cryptocurrency is much more than that. Cryptocurrency is used no more often for clandestine activities than traditional cold hard cash. Over a hundred thousand venders currently accept Bitcoin as a form of payment. That bodes the following question.

What are cryptocurrencies really?

If you take away all the noise around cryptocurrencies and reduce the concept to a simple definition, you will find that a cryptocurrency is just limited entries in a database that no one can change without fulfilling specific conditions. This may seem like a very ordinary explanation, but believe it or not, this is exactly how you can define a currency.

Take the money in your bank account: Is it anything more than entries in a database that can only be changed under specific conditions? You can even take physical coins and notes: Are they something else other than limited entries in a public physical database that can only be changed if you match the condition that you physically own the coins and notes? Money is all about having a verified entry in a database of accounts, balances, and transactions.

Why Bitcoin Plus versus Bitcoin?

Think of it this way. If you have a 401(k), you have many choices about how to invest your money. For example, you can have it slowly grow steady income by investing in utility companies. They have a steady stream of dividends and growth, but their stock value is not going to grow that much. So if you want to see rapid growth, you invest in what is called an emerging market. Emerging markets can see valuations grow 20 to 30 percent in a year. That is like the difference between a Bitcoin Plus and a Bitcoin. Bitcoin Plus is relatively new to the cryptocurrency market, and it has potential for huge growth.

Bitcoin Plus makes a great  ground floor investment.

If you are looking for an great investment, Bitcoin Plus is an ideal place to put your money. Yes, there is risk, but in 2008, a lot of people thought banks had their best interest at heart. They gave CDOs – “collateralized debt obligation” an AAA rating, and the CDOs themselves turned out to basically be garbage. A lot of people lost their retirement investing while participating in what they believed to be a solid form of investment. The banks made billions selling you worthless investments. That can’t happen with cryptocurrency because its value is not established by a central authority or manipulated at whim by a government’s political agenda. Yes, there is risk with investing in Bitcoin Plus, but there is risk in investing period. That is what investing is.

Bitcoin Plus is relatively new but has proven to be amazingly secure. There is only one time to get in on the ground floor, and with Bitcoin Plus, the time is now.

ORANGE, CA – 21 Feb, 2017 – On October 14, the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) released the final version of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) Quality Payment Program (QPP), which is intended to streamline the Medicare system and reward physicians for quality patient care. It is assumed that MACRA will eventually also be accepted as a performance and payment-for-performance guideline for some others payers as well. This article explains some of the main points of the QPP.

“The American College of Medical Scribe Specialists (ACMSS) supports the move toward new payment schemes that we believe can help lead a revolution toward higher-quality and value-based care, and away from our former fee-for-service model, which incentivized higher volume of care and often resulted in increased low-quality and unnecessary care,” says ACMSS Executive Director Kristin Hagen. “Since the final QPP was released, we at ACMSS have been studying the nearly 2,400-page document, and we are helping eligible clinicians get ready for full implementation at the beginning of the year.”

Getting You Ready to Report

The first performance period begins Jan. 1, 2017 and closes Dec. 31, 2017. To avoid penalties, eligible clinicians should plan to report some data in 2017. The program consists of four options, and it is possible to earn a small bonus for submitting complete data for 90 days or more, or a moderate bonus for submitting complete data for all of 2017.

During 2017, eligible clinicians who choose to participate in the QPP should record quality data and how they used technology to support their practice. To potentially earn a positive payment adjustment beginning on Jan. 1, 2019 under the Merit-based Incentive Program (MIPS), they must send in data to MIPS about the care they provided and how their practices used technology in 2017 by the deadline of March 31, 2018. Those who are using an Advanced Alternative Payment Model (APM) will report through that model by the same date and may earn a 5% incentive payment in 2019.

Eligible clinicians who don’t send in any 2017 data will receive a negative 4% payment adjustment. Those who submit a minimum amount of 2017 data to Medicare can avoid a negative payment adjustment. Those who submit at least 90 days of 2017 data to Medicare may earn a neutral or small positive payment adjustment.  If eligible clinicians send a full year of 2017 data to Medicare, they may earn a moderate positive payment adjustment. To be able to earn the 5% incentive payment for participating in an Advanced APM, eligible clinicians send quality data through the Advanced APM.  If you participate in an Advanced APM in 2017, then you may earn a 5% incentive payment in 2019.

Reporting for MIPS

In 2017, eligible clinicians must report in the following three categories:

• Quality (60%)
• Advancing Care Information (25%)
• Clinical Improvement Activities (15%)

The fourth category—Cost—is not assessed in 2017

“Improving the use of healthcare technology and streamlining practices while meeting regulatory requirements is an ongoing proposition,” says Hagen. “ACMSS offers a full suite of custom consulting services, medical scribe specialist certification programs and corporate partnerships to help practices drive innovation on the people side of improvement in healthcare quality and patient safety.”

Consulting services that ACMSS provides, and the associated categories they can help practices with, include:

• Custom Consulting (All Categories)
• Standards Development (Quality, Advancing Care Information, Clinical Improvement Activities)
• Workflow Development (All Categories)
• Meeting CMS Meaningful Use (MU)/MACRA: MIPS/APM (All Categories)
• Innovating Practice: CMS MACRA: MIPS/APM (All Categories)
• Research-driven initiatives: Aligning clinical documentation to sustainable wellness and outcomes (Quality, Advancing Care Information, Clinical Improvement Activities)
• Research-driven initiatives: Creating wellness and outcomes through the art and science of clinical documentation (Quality, Advancing Care Information, Clinical Improvement Activities)
• Implementing full scope of “real-time, onsite” credentialed Certified Medical Scribe Specialists (CMSS) personnel to meet national goals (Advancing Care Information)
• Understanding innovative Systems Design; putting the CMSS/CMSA credentials to work (All Categories)
• Preparing, planning, and strategizing for the future (All Categories)
• Requirements of CMS certified personnel; why we do what we do, why it matters (Advancing Care Information)
• Requirements of CMS “CMSS” Certified Medical Scribe Specialists (Advancing Care Information)
• Value of the doctor/certified scribe/patient model (All Categories)
• Creating resourceful value in healthcare (All Categories)
• Precision Medicine: Integrative/Functional Medicine: A Different Kind of Care
• Healthcare as Unique as the Individual: Understanding the difference between our evolutionary public healthcare system through MACRA: MIPS/APM, and, Customized Precision Medicine: Integrative Medicine/Functional Medicine (All Categories)
• Creating our 21st-century patient-centric healthcare systems (All Categories)

The ACMSS certification program meets current and proposed CMS certification requirements toward use of electronic health records. ACMSS is independent from all scribe companies and organizations and works in compliance with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to meet national goals and initiatives of MIPS, MACRA, and Meaningful Use of computerized provider order entry.  Certified Medical Scribe Specialists also meet the qualified personnel standard in Certified Electronic Health Record Technology (CEHRT). 

“ACMSS is closely watching the progress of MACRA and we are excited for our future,” said Hagen. “ACMSS understands MACRA given the expertise and understanding coming through the two systems (public health/precision medicine) in respect of the patient, client, and healthcare practitioner viewpoints.  ACMSS simplifies into secure systems design, the complete library of resources that is available through secure online access per paid membership.  We believe eligible providers should move beyond the minimums for avoiding payment reductions.  In doing so, they need to connect with ACMSS, plan strategically for how they are going to advance the regulations and national goals intended to provide better care and greater value for our nation’s patients.”

The American College of Medical Scribe Specialists offers several pathways for Certified Medical Scribe Specialists and a growing list of customized, one-on-one consulting solutions. Please contact ACMSS directly at info@theacmss.org or 657-888-2158 if you have any questions regarding the ACMSS program and consulting services.

PHOENIX, AZ – 21 Feb, 2017 – Alternative Phoenician band The Ricky Fitts is taking listeners to further heights thanks to their debut album, “The Great Beyond”.  Infusing elements of Indie, Pop and Funk, The Ricky Fitts have created a psychedelic wave on their 13-track LP.  Already gaining the attention and performing with the likes of Death Cab for Cutie and Fitz and the Tantrums, The Ricky Fitts are on their way to becoming one of the most sought after bands from the “Valley of the Sun”.

It all began back in 2016 when Matt Brunsvold placed an ad on Craigslist looking for a drummer.  The keyboardist who also served as a sound tech for The Lumineers, Regina Spektor and Daughter returned to Arizona to be closer to his son in addition to focus on producing and recording.  A month and a half later a drummer by the name of Alec Bushman replied to the listing.

“Initially we were doing a Twenty One Pilots type thing,” recalls Brunsvold. “I had some songs from another project so we started to learn those. Alec played drums and I sang while playing keys and bass with a produced track. Alec suggested we bring in Matt Meza to play the guitar.”

From their initial meeting, the three wrote two songs on the spot affirming they were birthing something special.  Alec and Meza suggested a mutual guitarist friend named Fletcher Milloy join the band to fill their sound out while Brunsvold contacted a vocalist named Elliot James whom he worked on a Rock album with in previous years to join as well. 

“Whereas I connected with Alec, Matt, and Fletcher via the indie world of M83 and Arctic Monkeys, Elliot and I always connected more so with The Weeknd and Prince-like vibes. We were both always studying songs,” says Brunsvold. “Once I had this group of talented players, it only made sense to get Elliot involved to finish what we had started.”

Combining their musical palettes the band was born but without a name.  When the group started to compare what films and music help shape their childhood and teenage years, the cult classic “American Beauty” was amongst many of them.  One of the characters that resonated with the band was Ricky Fitts, the teenager that quit his job on impulse one day to pursue photography, as well as selling marijuana to Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey).  Thus, The Ricky Fitts were born and spent the majority of 2016 working on their debut LP “The Great Beyond”.

Psychedelic guitar riffs, filtered vocals and 80’s driving drums invade listeners’ ears on songs like “Back to the Basics”.  “We belong somewhere better than this,” croons Elliot James on “Where To Begin” before the song breaks into a Disco dancing beat lonely hearts will be singing everywhere.  Most songs on the album were one takes. single shot.  “The Great Beyond” showcases musical minds in the moment creating; mistakes and all are what makes their debut authentic.

“Our sound is unorthodox and a bit all over the place in a good way,” laughs Brunsvold.  “We felt we needed to express our vision entirely so everyone could see the big picture like us.  That’s why we decided to record a full-length album. We want this project to be a journey, not just another playlist.”

The Ricky Fitts musical journey has only just begun.  Their music has been played multiple times on KWSS in Phoenix, 93.3 ALT-AZ, college radio and Fox 10 News.  The Alternative band is even playing at the Pot of Gold Festival in Chandler, AZ.  With their eyes set on becoming a household name, a quote by Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age helps keep them grounded.

“When you expect anything from music, you expect too much,” states Brunsvold. “That quote has a way of managing expectations for us a bit but also reminds us why we do this in the first place. We’ll never try to think about what “they” want to hear, but instead our focus is on just this, what “we” want to play.  Do what makes you happy. Be weird, be yourself, be nice.”

ABOUT THE RICKY FITTS

If Prince, M83, and Two Door Cinema Club had a musical baby together it would be The Ricky Fitts. Alternative rock, Pop, and funk collide on the Arizonian band’s full-length debut “The Great Beyond”. Alec Bushman supplies the pulse of the group on the drums. Fletcher Milloy and Matt Meza tug at the heartstrings on guitar. Matt Brunsvold provides the muscle, blood, and bones on the bass, keys and additional vocals. Elliot James creates the heart with honest and profound lyrics told through his haunting yet soulful voice. Already performing with the likes of Death Cab for Cutie and Fitz and the Tantrums, The Ricky Fitts star is burning hotter than the Phoenician sun.

Essential oils have been used in natural medicine for hundreds of years. Even today, in the world of advanced pharmacology, researchers prove that there is some power to essential oils that cannot be replicated with contemporary drugs. For example, aromatherapy is a recognized type of healing practice and used by a variety of healthcare providers. Luckily, from now on everyone can enjoy the benefits of these products as the new Essential Oils Guide 2017 Edition (https://essentialoilsguide.net/download-free-book/) provides detailed information on all the most popular healing oils.

How to Wield the Power of Essential Oils

In order to really ‘unlock’ the healing properties of these substances, one must use them right. There are dozens of oils available on the market and several ways of administering them. Choosing the right combination of ingredients and application method is imperative in order to produce the desired healing effect.

This isn’t an easy thing to do as one has to understand a great deal about the ‘mechanics’ of the human body as well as the oils themselves. A great number of factors affect the way these substances act and the reactions to them.

There is also the matter of technique to be considered. People have been using essential oils in healing for a very long time, and each culture had their own special recipes and practices to increase their efficiency.

The new Essential Oils Guide (https://essentialoilsguide.net) is an eBook that can help answer all the questions one has about how to use essential oils in order to achieve specific results. This book is a comprehensive data source that presents information is a clear manner that is easy to understand. This means that one doesn’t have to be a biology major to learn from it.

The eBook describes the uses of 40 top essential oils and explains exactly how they act and how differences in applications affect the way they act in the body. It also contains safety tips necessary for everyone as one has to be extremely careful when using natural remedies.

There’s lots of speculation about what will happen to healthcare innovation and technology under the new Trump administration.

How will the repeal of the ACA impact healthcare technology? What is the future of innovation in and around value-based care delivery?

A panel of healthcare technology experts met in San Francisco to explore how the recent change in administration might impact the industry.

The fireside chat, produced by patent-pending HIPAA-compliant email provider, Paubox, and hosted at incubator 500 Startups, gathered some of the best in healthcare tech thought leadership, including:

• Geoffrey Clapp, health technology expert and Paubox adviser
• Rebecca Woodcock, entrepreneur in residence, 500 Startups and head of digital health track
• Noah Lewis, Managing Director, GE Ventures
• Lan Anh Nguyen, CEO, ManageUP PRM

The discussion was insightful as seen in this short clip, and from these notable remarks:

“We thought it would be a pivotal time to get a lay of the land, social leadership positions, on where digital health is heading under a new presidency.” – Hoala Greevy, CEO, Paubox.

“It’s a world of opportunity for you as entrepreneurs…as an entrepreneur, problems didn’t change this month because an executive order got changed.” – Geoffrey Clapp, health technology expert and Paubox adviser.

“We could all use more efficiencies in the healthcare system, and technologies are out there.” – Lan Anh Nguyen, CEO, ManageUP PRM

“The march towards value based care will continue. It presents opportunity.” – Noah Lewis, Managing Director, GE Ventures

“As a healthcare system, we’re not focused on prevention yet.” – Rebecca Woodcock, entrepreneur in residence, 500 Startups and head of digital health track

Jordan Groussman, president of Dr. Green Relief Marijuana Doctors, is preparing for a massive influx of patients if Nevada’s recreational marijuana program goes live on July 1, 2017.

The company has already seen an increase in patient visits since recreational pot became legal on January 1.

“The recreational market might be great for Las Vegas tourists, but it’s a bad deal for Nevada residents,” says Groussman.  “There’s a 32.15 percent tax burden on recreational sales.  Once people start doing the math, they’ll see that medical marijuana is a less expensive alternative.”

The following is a breakdown of Nevada’s current recreational marijuana tax structure:

• 15 percentexcise tax on wholesale purchases
• 10 percent excise tax on retail sales (proposed by Governor Sandoval)
• 8.15 percentlocal sales tax (Clark County)

Medical marijuana patients only pay a 2 percent excise tax on retail purchases, in addition to the local sales tax.  Even if patients factor in the yearly cost of visiting a physician and renewing their patient status with the state, they’ll still save money in the long run.

“Our patients pay $155 a year to be a part of Nevada’s medical marijuana program,” says Groussman.  “That’s significantly less than the overall 18.15 percent retail tax they’d have to pay for recreational pot.  And if you don’t think the dispensaries will also shift the burden of that 15 percent wholesale tax along to the consumer, then I have a bridge to sell you.”

Joe Pollock, deputy administrator of Nevada’s Division of Public and Behavioral Health, made a similar argument.  He also informed a Senate-Assembly subcommittee that Colorado’s medical marijuana program flourished after recreational marijuana became available to the public.

Medical marijuana patients could enjoy additional tax relief in the future.  Assemblywoman Robin Titus doesn’t believe that a sales tax should be applied to medical marijuana because prescription drugs are normally tax-exempt.  If Titus’s viewpoint becomes popular, the state legislature could remove the sales tax, making medical marijuana even more affordable for patients.

If you are like the typical phone user, you take tons of photos and upload them to your social sites.  While having these photos in digital form can be convenient, they lack the permanency of physical prints.  A new mobile app called Froto changes all of that. You can now upload all the images on your phone or Facebook site using Froto, and receive the UV coated, high quality 4” x 6” prints through the mail in just a few days—at completely no charge! 

You may be wondering how Froto can afford to convert your digital images to print, package them and ship to you at no charge.  The answer is that Froto prints coupons and offers from local stores on the back of your photos.  Froto also sends them to your smart phone and notifies you when you are near one of these businesses, so that you can take advantage of these money-saving offers. And because these businesses pay to advertise through Froto, you get the photos for free.

You can download Froto from Google Play or the Apple store.

Froto is currently a small scale operation but is expanding rapidly.  That is why the Froto team has sponsored a fundraising campaign on Indiegogo. In return for supporting this campaign, you may receive valuable perks like extra prints, framed prints, portable cell phone spotlight, cell phone camera lens kit, or instant print mini camera.

Brady & Associates is helping hospitals to make an organized start to the new year, improving their performance and efficiency across their various departments.

At a time when hospitals are facing utilization challenges, often with limited or reduced budgets, it’s hardly surprising that so many are drawing on Brady & Associates’ 30-years’ experience.

Often referred to as the ‘consultants to the consultants’, the business, led by Frank Brady, President of Brady & Associates, provides a number of services focusing on productivity and organization.

Using a program known as ‘IMPACT,’ Brady & Associates’ staffing review and opportunity inventory provides an analysis of staffing practices across hospital departments, as well as providing guidance on how to increase productivity, identify limitations, and ultimately reduce labor costs.

Depending on the individual situation, both IMPACT Quick Check Reports and more in-depth IMPACT Plus Hospital Staffing Reviews are available. Both resources help hospitals to become more organized, and equips them to be able to plan, direct, organize and control resources effectively.

In an ever-changing world, the ability to react quickly when changes occur is essential, so more healthcare delivery organizations are looking to reorganize business lines, realign reporting relationships, and rethink corporate structures.

Brady & Associates has the experience to ‘think outside the box,’ exploring different ways of doing things, and exploring outsourcing or corporate restructuring that could be beneficial. 

“Practical usability makes all the difference in the world” says Frank Brady, President of Brady & Associates.

“Unlike many benchmarking services designed by database programmers, our services are created around knowledge gained from decades of research into the factors that limit human productivity in the clinical setting.”

“Out services enable you to actually DO something concrete in the clinical setting” he added.
