2011 Leadership in Health Care Award
Honoree: J & B Medical
Link: World Medical Relief
Over the years it has been proven that people of J & B Medical most certainly have their hearts in the right place. You name a disaster and we can call on this company and they come through with significant donations for the victims.
Most recently we can mention the earthquake in Haiti when J & B donated medical supplies and this year the disaster in Japan for which they donated adult diapers. But J & B Medical is also a steadfast donor of supplies that are benefitting the international recipients. They also help with World Medical Relief’s supply service by offering adult briefs, and pull-ups by selling those items to us at a low rate which we pass on to the clients.
It is in grateful recognition of the contributions to World Medical Relief’s International and Local Programs that we present the Leadership in Health Care award to J & B Medical.
Health Net Connect Launches VideoDoc ™: The World’s First Complete Remote Patient Examination Telemedicine Solution
Virtual House Calls and Rounds Now Available Worldwide – Projection of 70% Reduction in Hospital Re-Admissions Equal to Billions in Savings
New York, NY June 23, 2011 -- Health Net Connect, Inc. (HNC), a designer, manufacturer and distributor of telemedicine patient monitoring solutions, software, hardware and remote patient monitoring today announce the worldwide release of the HNC VideoDoc™ (patent pending) telemedicine solution. The first of its kind, fully comprehensive telemedicine solution, the HNC VideoDoc ™ system provides physicians and care providers with the ability to remotely monitor any patient anywhere in the world and conduct real-time virtual house calls and virtual rounds in a secure environment. The additional benefit would reduce the rate of hospital re-admissions by almost 70% -- potentially saving hospitals billions of dollars in reduced re-admission costs. “VideoDoc ™’s launch today has altered the delivery of medical care for the entire world,” said Mary Shaya, President, J&B Medical Supply, parent company of HNC. “Using the VideoDoc ™ platform, physicians in New York can deliver the latest medical innovations and techniques to Darfur as easily as to New Jersey. Yet, this innovation is not simply advancement in medical technology and care, it is a victory for all of us working to increase effectiveness and efficiency in medicine, end needless suffering and to improve the human condition.” The HNC VideoDoc ™ solution monitors heart, lung and blood functions for congestive heart failure, diabetic and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients, as well as high-risk pregnancy and dermatology. It integrates all patient vitals like blood pressure, electrocardiogram, pulse oxymetry, weight / body mass index, blood glucose, and spirometry plus diagnostic tools like home ultra-sound systems with HIPAA and HI-Tech compliant video consultation systems, allowing for secure data exchange and diagnostic consultations with physicians and specialists around the world. All HNC patient devices are FDA and CE approved. The HNC Home Patient Monitoring system allows a chronic or acute state patient to discharge and return to the comfort of their home without losing their connection to the health professionals who manage their care. Physicians can now provide more effective in-home convalescent care -- treatment proven to enhance clinical outcomes. Patients easily visit their healthcare professionals, send their vitals and receive home video consultation and care. All patient vitals are transmitted via trends, graphs and reports to care providers. HNC In-hospital solutions allow Physicians to conduct virtual rounds and care for their patients regardless of where the patient or care-provider is located in the world. “Video conferencing with patients while viewing real-time vitals and visual condition allows for true un-matched care. VideoDoc ™ can demonstrate improved patient outcomes, substantial reductions in the cost of care as well as unprecedented access to Physician Specialists worldwide. These are the core strengths of HNC Solutions,” said HNC’s Chief Operating Officer, Corky Davis. An interactive demonstration of the VideoDoc ™ telemedicine device technology can be found on www.healthconnectlive.com. The HNC release of VideoDoc ™ coincides with the signing of an international economic cooperation agreement with IxSys, nv, a Belgian designer of patient monitoring, diagnostic and homecare software. The signing ceremony, on the occasion of the Belgian Economic Mission, will be held in the presence of The Royal Highness, Prince Philippe and Princess Mathilde of Belgium and H.E. Steven Vanackere, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Consul General of Belgium in New York, and Ambassador and Mrs. Herman Portocareroto, among others. The event will take place June 23, 2011 at 6:30 pm at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, New York, NY. HNC and IxSys will work together in transactions in the United States, the Middle East and other parts of the world to develop and market the products and solutions of Health Net Connect and IxSys. The mission statement of HNC, a Wixom, Michigan-based telemedicine company states in part, “…to provide reliable patient monitoring and telemedicine products and software with focus on reducing the cost of healthcare and improving patient outcomes worldwide”.
