"I am delighted to have the chance to engage his heart and mind in our mission."

Ford also spent 15 years at IDX Systems Corporation, where he served as vice president of operations responsible for more than 300 large and complex healthcare delivery system customers.

Black Book polled healthcare professionals in Q2 2022 through Q1 2023 to develop the annual comprehensive industry report on the state of secure communications, recognizing top-performing vendors based on client experience and customer satisfaction indicators. The mission of Black Book's independent user surveys is to enlighten healthcare technology buyers on those industry vendors that perform beyond expectations, as reported by current and former customers at every user level in the organization they serve.
Spok®, a global leader in providing a unified, HIPAA- and HITECH-compliant mobile platform for messaging, calls, and alerts, earned top honors as the highest-rated product for a sixth consecutive year.
Black Book Market Research LLC measures customer satisfaction across 18 copyrighted key performance indicators: Strategic Alignment of Vendor Offerings to the Client's Mission and Goals; Innovation and Optimization; Training and Education; Client Relationships and Cultural Fit; Trust, Accountability, Ethics, and Transparency; Breadth of Offerings; Deployment and Implementation; Customization; Integration and Interfaces, Interoperability, and Connectivity; Scalability and Client Adaptability, Vendor Staff Expertise, and Performance; Reliability; Brand Image and Marketing Communications; Marginal Value Adds; Vendor Financial Viability and Managerial Stability; Data Storage Services; Support and Customer Care; and Best of Breed Technology and Process Improvement.
In total, nearly 7,000 cybersecurity system users and senior-level managers participated in the seven-month crowdsourced survey, including 1,104 CIOs, CISOs, and hospital IT security managers to track and trend user experience.
"Usability with clinical communications technology improves workforce satisfaction, and that, in sequence, improves patient care delivery," said Doug Brown, President of Black Book Research. "In addition, the methods for sharing sensitive health information in the last decade have multiplied exponentially, and advances in patient care now require extraordinary clinical communication and collaboration tools like Spok offers hospitals."
Nearly 100 percent of respondent CISOs and CIOs have made secure communications a priority in 2023. Eight percent report they have implemented process improvement teams at their organization that are working on mitigating security gaps in clinical workflow and improving mobility.
Based on IT management respondents, more than 29% of hospital data in Q4 2022 was being shared through unsecured methods.
Thirty percent of hospitals do not currently support HIPAA-compliant secure communications and messaging on any device, slightly down from 34 percent in Q3 2021. Twenty-five percent offer secure texting on hospital-issued devices only currently.
"The Joint Commission's review of sentinel event data is consistently identifying poor communications as a leading root cause of serious injury or death related to patient care," said Brown. "Many health systems, however, still need an uncomplicated yet broad and dependable digital communications technology to facilitate the prompt exchange of information to improve patient safety and quality."
About Black Book™
Black Book Market Research LLC provides healthcare IT users, media, investors, analysts, quality-minded vendors and prospective software system buyers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and other interested sectors of the clinical technology industry with comprehensive comparison data of the industry's top respected and competitively performing technology vendors.

Nedap(AMS:NEDAP), the global leader in RFID solutions, has been selected by Bestsellerfor deploying Nedap's iD Cloud platform to Vero Moda stores. Bestseller completed the roll-out to 380 stores in January 2023.
Bestseller decided to switch to Nedap after seeking a partnership that could leverage their initial RFID investment further. The leading international, family-owned fashion company with more than 2,600 stores, housing brands such as Jack & Jones, Vero Moda, and Only, will deploy iD Cloud for its Vero Moda stores. Implementing iD Cloud enables more software functionality that leads to improving the efficiency of how products are received and the introduction of real-time replenishments. This results in more time for store staff to focus on delivering a seamless shopping experience across all Vero Moda stores.
Casper Terp Harboe, RFID Project Manager at Bestseller, commented: "Our primary focus is to optimize store operations even further by adding RFID-based goods receiving and sharing transactional data to close the loop around RFID. With this single view on all stock, Vero Moda can successfully offer the right products at the right place without high safety thresholds. This has a positive impact on sustainability and profitability."
By partnering with Nedap, Bestseller will rapidly accelerate its omnichannel business's flexibility and service across all its Vero Moda stores. With Nedap's support, Vero Moda will revolutionize the way it interacts with shoppers and ensure a seamless brand experience across all consumer touchpoints. Stock visibility is a key enabler for product availability as well as circular services.
Casper Terp Harboe: "As a company, we take nothing for granted, especially not customer loyalty. To keep our customers happy, we always need to have the right product available across all our sales channels without overstocking and overproducing. Our stores play a vital part in this ambition. Now that we are taking the next step in our RFID journey, we need a partner that enables us to meet our ambitions. We found that partner in Nedap with its global user community and proven track record."
Nick Markwell, Director of Sales EMEA at Nedap: "This fantastic partnership highlights the strategic importance of having an RFID platform that enables easy-to-use functionalities in store and a powerful backend to provide real-time data and insights that can be merged with other platforms at Bestseller. We believe that access to real-time, item-level inventory data is crucial for developing a successful omnichannel strategy and roadmap for brands and retailers. We are proud to partner with Bestseller and look forward to supporting them in leveraging their RFID investment further."

Peters II, Co-founder, HBCU SpringComing. "To date, we've had over 25,000 attendees. This speaks to our team's ability to create authentic culture and conversation amongst a group of Black leaders representing the best and brightest to come out of historically Black colleges and universities."

Make plans to enjoy our award-winning restaurants, elite facilities, and awe-inspiring green spaces. You'll find that Birmingham is a place to make memories that will last a lifetime."
"We're taking action to embed diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging throughout the business as integral to our mission to help all people get jobs. Our global DEIB+ team works to inspire, influence, and inform our approach by unlocking the power of our collective differences to drive innovation across teams and products," said Misty Gaither, Vice President, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging, Indeed.
As proud HBCU graduates, Grove (Florida A&M University) and Peters II (Morehouse College) purposefully crafted HBCU SpringComing to center giving back to help elevate generations of HBCU graduates to come. Proceeds will continue to benefit the HBCU Puissance Scholarship Fund and Birmingham Promise Foundation, founded to aid in offsetting the cost of college tuition for high school seniors bound for an HBCU. Over the last nine years, HBCU SpringComing has raised over $125,000.
"The most important part of HBCU SpringComing is giving back. We're on a mission to help strengthen Black institutions of higher learning across the country and inspire the next generation of leaders within our communities," said Lauren Grove, Co-founder, HBCU SpringComing. "Year after year, our goal remains the same. We've curated a weekend of events that not only celebrates the unique atmosphere that HBCU homecomings create but focuses on increasing contributions towards scholarships that support incoming students and their bright futures."
In addition to Indeed, other proud sponsors include the United States Tennis Association and more.

Struggling with existing ERP software to maintain accurate inventory across multiple stores, Webb Eyecare finds solace in AIMS for managing inventory.
Webb Eyecare uses AIMS Webb Eyecare uses the AIMS RFID Handheld for inventory management
DALLAS, February 20, 2023 (Newswire.com)
-
Webb Eyecare runs three optometry and eye glass stores in Nebraska. With 25 staff and thousands of eye frames to choose from, it was never possible to maintain accurate inventory of what was available. Manual counting was too time consuming and tracking never caught up with the daily demands of serving customers.
"Keeping inventory through our practice management system hadn't been working for years."
General Manager, Jessica Schwager, ABOC, CPOT
"Inventory was always off, and with 25 staff members selling frames there was just too much room for human error to ever fix the problem. AIMs finally gave us a solution. I know exactly what is in each of the three offices every day when they take inventory," said Schwager.
Beyond Inventory, AIMS allows fast correction when things go missing.
"I also know instantly if frames are disappearing from our office. Before [AIMS] it could have gone on for quite awhile without being caught," added Schwager.
Webb Eyecare has three locations in Scottsbluff, Alliance, & Bridgeport Nebraska.
AIMS allows eye care professionals to:
Manage inventory in minutes with RFID. Weekly management reduces loss/theft an average of 90%.
Place re-order and drop ship orders, automatically, from seven manufacturers with two-day turn around for a prescription lens and frame.
Reduce inventory requirement. With AIMS, frames are placed back on board to sell multiple times a day vs. whenever the rep shows up to restock. This also smooths cash flow and expenses to match sales.
Maintains a stock list of more than 80,000 frames from 17 manufacturers with frame data, pictures, and stock levels.
Leveraging novel digital technologies, the partnership between KlimaDAO and Fly Air will enable transparent, immediate carbon offsetting to compensate for the carbon emissions of chartered jet services.
SAN FRANCISCO, February 20, 2023 (Newswire.com)
-
KlimaDAO and Fly Air have partnered together to launch a first-of-its-kind fully automated carbon offsetting solution for chartered jet services.
The partnership will enable the carbon emissions of flights to be automatically calculated based on the type of jet used and the distance traveled. This information will be utilized by the platform to ensure that sufficient compensatory measures are taken by Fly Air on behalf of its customers to mitigate the impact of the carbon emissions.
The partnership will facilitate instantaneous offsetting of carbon credits via KlimaDAO, which is built on top of the public blockchain Polygon, meaning that the carbon credits that are retired are fully traceable and verifiable, including the amount, type and vintage year of the credits used.
Today, there are almost 25 million carbon credits available within the Digital Carbon Market that can be utilized by projects looking to efficiently and transparently offset their carbon emissions.
Through the development and implementation of a carbon offsetting strategy, Fly Air and its customers will be supporting the development of projects within the market that are undertaking high-impact sustainability work that can protect and regenerate vulnerable ecosystems and decarbonize the economy.
Climate Leadership
The airline industry is a highly carbon-intensive industry, which faces unique challenges on its journey towards Net Zero status. Technologies such as airframe enhancements, sustainable aviation fuels, batteries and hydrogen combustion engines do not yet have the scale or maturity to viably decarbonize the entire industry.
Carbon offsetting is a mechanism to compensate for carbon emissions in the medium term as alternative, zero-carbon solutions mature. Ensuring that transparent, traceable carbon offsetting is executed is key to ensuring consumer confidence in the chosen compensatory measures is maintained.
About Fly Air
Fly Air is a private jet booking solution offering premium services for high-end travelers who quickly want to search, reserve, and pay for their private chartered flights on demand. Fly Air works with 900 fixed-based operators around the world and, through a proprietary algorithm, matches members with over 10,000 available aircraft in its global inventory. Membership for the service is completely free and includes an incentivized rewards program that pays members "Fly Miles" in $Fly tokens for booking travel through the app.
By providing a user-centric design that connects to multiple jet operators, FlyAir enables access to private travel faster with more flexibility and lower costs.
About KlimaDAO
KlimaDAO's mission is to accelerate the delivery of climate finance globally by building the transparent, neutral, and public infrastructure needed to scale the Digital Carbon Market. Contact KlimaDAO.
