CareCloud Empowers Sympathy Health Clinic with Comprehensive Telehealth Solution to Enhance Patient Care

CareCloud, Inc. a leader in healthcare technology solutions for medical practices and health systems nationwide, today announced the successful integration of its talkEHR platform at Sympathy Health Clinic in Las Vegas. This integration stands as a significant leap forward in enhancing the clinic's patient care and practice management capabilities.

The comprehensive talkEHR offerings seamlessly integrated into Sympathy Health encompass cutting-edge functionalities, including electronic health records (EHR), practice management (PM), telehealth, electronic prescription (eRX), and electronic claims (eClaims). The core objective of this integration is to streamline the day-to-day workflows of healthcare providers while simultaneously elevating the overall patient experience.

The decision of Sympathy Health Clinic to transition to CareCloud's talkEHR stems from their requirement for a comprehensive solution that includes telehealth capabilities. The talkEHR solution is not only expected to fulfill the clinic's billing, charting, and prescription requirements but also to notably amplify the efficiency of its telehealth operations. Dissatisfaction with the limitations imposed by their previous telehealth provider prompted Sympathy Health Clinic to actively seek a more cost-effective and adaptable alternative capable of catering to their unique specifications.

The talkEHR telehealth functionality boasts a seamless virtual visit experience, integrating with a HIPAA-compliant practice management tool for appointment scheduling and rescheduling. It further mitigates no-show instances through automated notifications. During telehealth visits, healthcare professionals can concurrently update patient charts, optimizing the efficiency of the process. The patient-centric design includes easy one-click access, eliminating the need for separate apps to establish connections. Additionally, the system incorporates a virtual waiting room.

Ellen Wright, practice manager at Sympathy Health Clinic, shared, “We recognized the growing inefficiency in our telehealth operations, with our healthcare professionals dedicating excessive time to administrative tasks. After a thorough evaluation, we concluded that CareCloud's talkEHR is the optimal solution to address these challenges.”

The implementation of CareCloud's talkEHR also presents an opportunity for added revenue streams. Telehealth calls are logged automatically, allowing follow-up calls that were previously unbillable to transform into revenue-generating encounters. Furthermore, the platform facilitates the extension of office hours through virtual means, enhancing accessibility for patients.

With a proven track record among thousands of practices across the U.S., CareCloud's solution is renowned for its simplicity and user-friendliness. Guided setup and seamless data importation support facilitate a smooth transition. The company's commitment to customer service is evident through its round-the-clock support, ensuring consistent assistance. The platform is also known for its strong security measures and rapid onboarding process.

Carinda Cox, vice president of sales operations of CareCloud, stated, 'We are acutely aware of the challenges faced by healthcare providers, especially in the ever-evolving landscape. Our objective is to empower clinics like Sympathy Health with tailored solutions that optimize operations and allow them to devote more attention to patient care. We are enthusiastic about our collaboration with Sympathy Health Clinic and look forward to assisting them in their journey toward heightened efficiency and improved patient outcomes.”

Absolute Software New Application Health Monitoring Extends Cyber Resilience to Leading Endpoint Security and Productivity Applications

Business Wire | November 02, 2023

Absolute Software™, the leading provider of self-healing, intelligent security solutions, today announced the launch of Absolute Application Health. This new feature empowers digital enterprises to strengthen cyber resilience and boost end user productivity with the industry’s most resilient application health monitoring capabilities. With this latest innovation to the company’s Secure Endpoint product line, customers can monitor the health of more than 2,000 commonly used Windows and Mac applications – including security controls, business, and productivity tools – to ensure they are installed, running, and properly configured on all devices. “Organizations deploy millions of endpoint devices to support growing remote workforces around the world, and they invest billions of dollars into security controls needed to protect their networks against advanced threats and costly compliance violations,” said Sarah Pavlak, Industry Principal, Frost & Sullivan. “Despite all these efforts and money spent, organizations continue to experience increasing attacks and complexity challenges that severely disrupt business operations. This is leading to a continual need for innovations that can mitigate software failures and close security gaps.” Absolute’s 2023 Resilience Index reveals that on average, enterprise endpoint devices have 67 applications deployed, with 10 percent of these having more than 100 applications installed. In analyzing 10 of the most widely deployed security tools, the report also shows seven of those 10 apps were installed and healthy on less than 80 percent of deployed devices, on average. In some cases, apps were only functioning correctly 47 percent of the time. said John Herrema, Chief Product Officer, Absolute Software. Today’s digital enterprises are investing billions of dollars in mission-critical security and business tools, and we believe those applications should deliver their intended value. The complexity and fragility of endpoint applications, however, means that all too often they are failing. And if the tool you use to monitor your other applications is subject to those same failures, then you’re really in trouble, because it’s impossible to fix what you can’t reliably see or diagnose. This latest innovation builds on Absolute’s unique Persistence technology to provide the industry’s most resilient visibility and monitoring capabilities. This allows our customers to achieve maximum security, productivity, and return on their software investments. [Source:Business Wire] With Absolute Application Health, IT and security practitioners gain the deep visibility needed to ensure applications are installed, running, up-to-date, and properly configured across their entire device fleet. They also have access to detailed, interactive reports and widgets that enable them to swiftly diagnose why an application is failing and then take remedial action. Embedded in the firmware of more than 600 million devices, Absolute’s patented Persistence® technology provides a secure, always-on connection between the Absolute Platform and the endpoint. The new Application Health feature leverages this digital tether to ensure health monitoring and reporting remains uninterrupted. Absolute Application Health is available now to Absolute Secure Endpoint customers subscribed to eligible Absolute Resilience licenses. For more information, including how to access and activate this new feature, visit our latest blog. About Absolute Software Absolute Software makes security work. We empower mission-critical performance with advanced cyber resilience.

ClosedLoop Introduces Data Science Products for Value-Based Healthcare

ClosedLoop | September 20, 2023

ClosedLoop, a prominent healthcare data science platform, has formally introduced two novel data science solutions. These solutions, namely, ACO-Predict and Evaluate, are crafted to assist healthcare organizations in the comprehensive analysis, assessment, ongoing surveillance, and enhancement of their programs, with the objectives of minimizing adverse events, enhancing health outcomes, and curtailing expenditures. ClosedLoop's offering, ACO-Predict, marks the healthcare sector's inaugural no-cost AI-powered solution for population health risk stratification. It harnesses the same algorithms that propelled ClosedLoop to garner fame in the 2021 CMS AI Challenge and earned the Best in KLAS Healthcare AI ranking for 2022 and 2023. When integrated with the updated Beneficiary Claims Data API data feeds from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the product furnishes Medicare Accountable Care Organizations with a turnkey risk stratification tool for Complex Care Management programs, all free of charge. Meanwhile, the company's second product, ClosedLoop Evaluate, is a SaaS solution designed to evaluate and continuously monitor the efficacy of intricate population health initiatives over extended durations.

ClosedLoop’s solutions aim to improve healthcare organizations' outcomes and offer essential patient support. Jennifer Zbell, VP of Clinical Analytics at Healthfirst, stated, ClosedLoop provided the quantitative evidence we needed to increase investment in successful programs." She added, "Evaluate gives us the confidence to examine our programs across the board so we can better see what's working, when it's working, and who it's working for. [Source – Business Wire] ClosedLoop Evaluate represents a pioneering industry solution that not only supplants these studies with software-driven evaluations but also facilitates the ongoing assessment of program impact amid evolving programs and populations. Andrew Eye, Co-Founder and CEO of ClosedLoop concluded that success in value-based care hinges on two key aspects: accurate prediction and effective intervention. ACO-Predict delivers AI-powered prediction capabilities to all medicare patients nationwide at no cost, ensuring access to necessary assistance regardless of location or ACO resources.
