SpendMend

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - August 16, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

SpendMend, a leading provider of solutions to optimize the cost cycle for the healthcare industry, today announced the successful completion of its purchase of Trulla, one of the healthcare industry's leading providers of pharmacy procurement software. 

Trulla was founded in 2018 by company CEO, Curtis McEntire, a former executive in pharmacy sourcing and supply chain at Intermountain Healthcare, one of the largest healthcare providers in the Intermountain West of the United States. 

The acquisition of Trulla should enable SpendMend's pharmacy division to further expand its suite of solutions aimed at helping healthcare systems, hospitals, and clinics reduce annual pharmacy costs and better manage 340B program compliance and optimization. Concurrent to the acquisition, SpendMend is releasing SpendMend Trulla, an advanced Pharmacy Procurement Software application aimed at helping pharmacy buyers select the right NDCs and suppliers while navigating overly complex drug purchasing processes.

The current release of Trulla is designed to enable health systems to maximize pharmacy savings through superior pricing algorithms, product standardization, and supplier selection. In addition to the flagship procurement module, Trulla also offers an advanced pharmacy analytics module, as well as a host of pharmacy distribution center consulting services.

"I founded Trulla to help health systems capture previously unattainable cost savings," states, Curtis McEntire, "I could not be prouder of the solution we've created and its impact on reducing pharmacy costs and helping healthcare facilities to drive better patient care."

"We are thrilled to integrate Trulla software into the larger SpendMend suite of pharmacy solutions," states Rob Nahoopii, PharmD, MS, ACE, Sr. VP of Pharmacy Services at SpendMend. "In the last year, we've provided compliance and optimization services for over 300 pharmacies. We believe every one of those clients could benefit immediately by using the Trulla solution."

The acquisition of Trulla by SpendMend is made in partnership with Morgan Stanley Capital Partners (MSCP) as part of a strategic initiative to expand the value of the SpendMend Pharmacy division. Investment funds managed by MSCP invested in SpendMend in early 2022, recognizing the company as a leader in cost-cycle management and compliance management services to hospitals.

Existing Trulla clients will not experience any disruption to services as a result of the acquisition. The newly acquired group will continue operations as usual. Curtis McEntire will continue to manage division operations from his company headquarters in Draper, Utah.

GIMME Beauty Offering Back-to-School Essentials Bundle

GIMME Beauty Offering Back-to-School Essentials Bundle
GIMME Beauty highlights its most popular, must-have items being restocked for the coming school year.

SALT LAKE CITY - August 16, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

GIMME Beauty, the viral social media sensation that delivers innovative hair care solutions, has restocked its most popular — and most commonly misplaced — back-to-school essentials. From hair ties and bobby pins to elastic stacks and claw clips, GIMME Beauty has got everything to start the school year off right for just $48.

Back-to-school season means a busier schedule for everyone; from early-morning rush hour to after-school practice, life can get pretty hectic. It's natural for things to get lost and misplaced amid the chaos of it all. With that in mind, GIMME has restocked the most commonly lost items throughout the school year.

Hair bands are notorious for getting lost. GIMME Beauty reinvented hair bands with game-changing, patent-pending features that customers have been asking for. GIMME hair ties provide a firm, yet gentle, hold, preventing headaches, dents and damage. With bands made for all kinds of hair types, customers can find the right band that works best for their hair.

Bobby pins are another repeat offender. Average bobby pins routinely fall out and get lost, even during the most mundane tasks. GIMME Bobby Pins are another hair classic reimagined, featuring a tougher, longer-lasting spring and textured insides for a more secure hold. Ideal for all hair types, these also have a top spot on the list among the most commonly lost hair essentials.

Clear elastics also are often misplaced — even just around the house — and when time is short, GIMME's Elastic Stacks are known for securing hair of all types. When early mornings mean getting out the door fast, GIMME's Elastic Stacks are perfect for all trendy back-to-school hairstyles. 

Additionally, GIMME's patent-pending hair brushes are back in stock. GIMME's Detangling Brushes are perfect for styling with care and taming all hair types. As a bonus, GIMME will offer their anti-static brushes as an add-on to the bundle at a greatly reduced price.

"Back-to-school is a busy time for the family and brings with it a whirlwind of activity," said Jeff Durham, CEO. "Busier days mean less time for hair care, so we aim to make the process as simple, straightforward, and stress-free as possible. We made sure to restock on the basics, along with everything needed to start the school year off right."

The school year comes with enough stresses, both from school work and personal life; GIMME Claw Clips can help keep hair off that list. GIMME's Clickfit Claw Clips are perfect for all-day firm grip and everyday use on the days when styling is not an option.

Accuro Epidural Guidance Device Demonstrated Superior for Spinal Anesthesia Administration Compared to Palpation & Conventional Ultrasound in a Parturient With Extreme Obesity

Accuro Epidural Guidance Device Demonstrated Superior for Spinal Anesthesia Administration Compared to Palpation & Conventional Ultrasound in a Parturient With Extreme Obesity
Accuro's integration of artificial intelligence with ultrasound (AI-US) provides detailed ultrasound image analysis pivotal in complex clinical scenarios.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - August 16, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

RIVANNA®, developers of world-first, imaging-based medical solutions, announced the results of a clinical case study demonstrating that Accuro played a crucial role in aiding the placement of an epidural catheter in a parturient with extreme obesity. The study, published in The Ultrasound Journal, further concluded that the benefits gained by pre-procedural AI-US are multiple: 

• increases patient satisfaction, 

• provides immediate recognition of anatomical structures,

• increases first-attempt success rates,

• reduces needle placement times, 

• and predicts needle direction and distance from the skin to reach target structures. 

As reported in the study, a patient requesting epidural analgesia for labor presented with a calculated BMI of 64.5 kg. Initial landmark palpation for localization of interspinous spaces proved unsuccessful. Secondarily, acquiring standard ultrasound imaging of the lumbar spine was ineffective in identifying target structures due to the amount of subcutaneous tissue. Accuro, which utilizes AI-enabled automatic recognition of spinal anatomy, provided rapid identification of the desired intervertebral space, the correct point for needle insertion and the estimated depth to the epidural space. A senior attending physician placed the epidural catheter on the first attempt. 

Quoted from the study, "…morphological alterations secondary to pregnancy and obesity created difficulties that could not be overcome using traditional landmark palpation nor standard ultrasound techniques." 

"Numerous studies have confirmed the effectiveness and safety of the Accuro-guided technique over the palpation-based approach for spinal placement or epidural catheterization," commented Will Mauldin, Ph.D., co-founder, and CEO of RIVANNA. "This study is notable because it examined the viability of standard ultrasound imaging in labor and delivery, especially in obese patients, as the visibility of the ligamentum flavum, dura mater and epidural space decreases significantly during pregnancy."

Neuraxial ultrasound competency using conventional equipment relies on the operator to provide accurate results. Conversely, Accuro's integrated AI-US technology provides clinicians with more detailed information that can be crucial in complex clinical scenarios. It may offer a new advantage in improving outcomes and training for operators not experienced in neuraxial ultrasound techniques. 

Conducted via the Anesthesiology, Critical Care and Pain Medicine Division at the University of Parma, Parma, Italy, the clinical case study was published in The Ultrasound Journal volume 14, Article number: 34 (2022).

All of Gayo Azul's cheeses are available in convenient sizes; varieties include:

NEW Cotija—a firm and crumbly Mexican aged cow's milk cheese with a sharp, slightly salty flavor. It is an unbeatable topping when crumbled over enchiladas, tacos or street corn.

Dutch Gouda—mild taste and creamy texture, the wedges are perfect for a cheeseboard and work wonderfully shredded in a casserole or for sauces with wonderful meltability. Also available in slices, it makes for a delicious cheeseburger, grilled cheese, or cold sandwich.

Dutch Edam—a bit firmer than Gouda, and with a rich flavor and smooth, creamy texture. It is excellent cut-up for cheeseboards, shredded for baking dishes, or cubed for salads. It is known for its red wax exterior and the spherical shape of a full Edam ball.

European Swiss—a semi-firm cheese with a sweet nutty taste and telltale round holes, also known as eyes. Available in sliced form, it is perfect for burgers and both cold and grilled sandwiches. 

Queso Blanco— a fresh, white cow's milk cheese with a slightly salty and mild flavor. Its young age creates an irresistibly creamy, yet crumbly texture that holds shape well, making it ideal for grilling. It is also perfect when crumbled to complement any soup, salad, or rice and beans. It is great served as a table cheese with fresh fruit, marmalade or chutney.

Queso Para Freir—a fresh, white, cow's milk cheese with a firm texture, mild and slightly salty flavor. Known for its high melting point, which softens the cheese while leaving an unmelted interior that holds its shape, it is commonly used for frying. It is also great sliced for sandwiches, crumbled over fruit salads, and melted over baked dishes.

Global Health Intelligence Announces the 2022 Best-Equipped Hospitals in Latin America

HospiRank 2022

Report on medical equipment market Latin America including best hospitals

MIAMI - August 15, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Global Health Intelligence (GHI), the leading healthcare data analytics provider in Latin America, has just published HospiRank 2022, its ranking of the best-equipped hospitals in Latin America.

Based on quantitative analysis of data from more than 19,000 Latin American hospitals in GHI's database, HospiRank ranks medical institutions according to eight specific categories, including best-equipped for high-risk patients, best-equipped to host patients, highest counts of basic surgical equipment, best installed base for treating cancer, best-equipped for primary diagnostics, and more.

"While there are other rankings of Latin American hospitals, HospiRank is the only ranking to offer verified hard data about the hospitals' infrastructure," explains Guillaume Corpart, CEO and founder of Global Health Intelligence. "We include specific data related to operating rooms, beds and counts of critical capital equipment that help hospitals stand out as leaders within their fields of focus. We offer this as a resource for medical equipment and device manufacturers. HospiRank is not designed for patients, since medical equipment counts are only part of what determines quality," observes Corpart.

Beyond the rankings, which include a total of more than 400 hospitals in the 6 countries included, HospiRank 2022 also has new features:

  • A data portrait of Latin American hospitals, including penetration rates of both basic and specialized equipment,
  • Data on infrastructure and hospitals in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru, among other countries
  • Interviews with the leaders of the best-equipped hospitals, to gain insights into their acquisitions and future plans
  • A recently updated list of all hospitals in Latin America that have robotic surgery systems

"Beyond concrete medical equipment market data for Latin America, HospiRank may also be helpful for hospitals, because it allows them to see how they compare to other hospitals in terms of equipment levels," says Corpart.

The main report can be downloaded from Global Health Intelligence's website. It covers the top 5 hospitals in each category for each country featured in HospiRank 2022. However, journalists can contact GHI directly for specific country reports featuring the top 10 hospitals in each category.

About Global Health Intelligence (GHI)
Global Health Intelligence created HospiScope, the world's largest hospital demographics database focused on Latin America, as well as SurgiScope, the first database to track surgical procedures performed in Latin America. The firm updates more than 2 million hospital data points each year, helping clients with custom research, data on the medical devices market, competitive profiling for the LatAm healthcare industry, marketing sizing, segmentation and pricing/cost analyses.

Newport Beach Chiropractic Expert Dr. Mike Digrado Launches New Website
Chiropractor Dr. Mike Digrado of Newport Center Family Chiropractic, is excited to announce the launch of his new website.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. - August 12, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

One of Southern California's best decompression and laser treatment professionals, Dr. Mike Digrado of Newport Center Family Chiropractic is excited about the launch of his new website, designed and managed by chiropractic marketing experts at MyChiroPractice.

Dr. Digrado's patients primarily seek out his care to benefit from his advanced decompression and laser treatments, as well as his expertise and passion in treating sciatica, herniated discs, back pain, neck pain, and mobility issues. Dr. Mike Digrado loves helping patients and solving problems - he initially joined the chiropractic profession after his own healing experience with chiropractic following a car accident in 1994.

Dr. Mike Digrado has over 20 years of experience, focusing on sciatica pain, bulging and herniated discs, severe low back pain, and neck pain. To produce transformational results for his patients, Dr. Digrado utilizes advanced technologies including state of the art decompression tables, deep tissue laser therapy, and the Sigma Ultralign Computerized Adjusting Tool.

Spinal Decompression slowly relaxes and stretches the spine, removing the downward forces of gravity and creating a vacuum that allows oxygen and nutrients to flow back into the disks and begin the healing process. Patients simply lie down on the state of the art Non Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy for 20 minutes per session. This FDA-cleared procedure is gentle and comfortable — with minimal risks and minimal side effects. Dr. Digrado has performed it many times in his office and has had tremendous success treating all types of disc damage.

Laser Therapy is an innovative treatment that helps offer pain relief through a process known as photo-bio stimulation. This type of treatment delivers deep penetrating photonic (light) energy to bring about physiological changes. During treatment, ATP (Adenosine-triphosphate) production is increased, inflammation and pain may be reduced, and circulation is increased at the site of pain.

Dr. Digrado invites the Newport Beach and Orange County community to check out his new website, and take advantage of his 20+ years of experience and passion in treating sciatica, herniated disc, and back / neck pain through decompression therapy, laser therapy, and/or a computerized adjustment tool.

Seattle Childcare Company Launches Nationwide Expansion
National Leader in Policy Framework for the In-home Childcare industry steps up to Expand Service Area

SEATTLE - August 12, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Seattle Nanny Network, Inc. launches National Nanny Network - allowing for placements of best-in-class, in-home childcare providers nationwide. The company was recently named a finalist in the prestigious multi-state Better Business Bureau Torch Awards for Ethics in Business and has been assisting local families for over two decades.  

"This wouldn't be possible without the phenomenal providers we have the privilege to represent every day. Without them, we wouldn't be relevant," founder Emily Dills said. "The pandemic has challenged parents and childcare on so many levels. The providers who do this work are essential, and the realization that we could take the terrific work we do locally and offer that to families nationwide is pretty exciting."

Seattlenanny.com has been in business since the 1990s. They lead the industry with best practices framework and credit their success to an ability to organically attract applicants based on a reputation for lifting the work through local, state, and federal advocacy. The company was instrumental in creating city-wide "return to work safely" procedures in the midst of the pandemic. They are often called upon as an expert to provide industry commentary. Nationalnanny.com offers the same service that Seattle area families have relied on for decades, making it available to a wider audience.

Maria Zamora, a 15-year veteran nanny who was placed by the firm in 2020, says she is grateful to them for "guiding me and mediating as an HR team" with her employer. This level of support is critical to work that takes place in isolation, inside private homes, in a largely unregulated industry. 

National Nanny Network partners with experts across the workplace safety, employee screening, and domestic payroll spaces to provide cutting-edge resources to their clients and job applicants. They also offer educational and mental health resources during a time when the industry is experiencing a major shift due to demand for an often overlooked and undervalued workforce.

Credello: Here’s Why, According to Experts, You Should Think Twice Before Co-Signing a Loan

Credello: Here’s Why, According to Experts, You Should Think Twice Before Co-Signing a Loan
NEW YORK - August 11, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Maybe you know what it means to co-sign a loan. Perhaps you're unfamiliar with the concept. If you know what co-signing means, you might sometimes think it's appropriate to do that for a family member or friend. 

However, before you start looking into the best personal loans with co-signers, you should think about the risks that go along with this course of action. We'll talk about those right now.

What Does Co-Signing Mean?

If you co-sign for a loan, along with someone else, you have a binding legal obligation to repay that loan in full.  

As a co-signer, you agree to pay back the loan's entire amount if the person with whom you co-signed cannot do it. If they miss any payments, the lending entity will immediately turn to you and expect you to cover the money they are due.

Now, let's go over why you might think twice before becoming a loan's co-signer.

1. You're Legally Liable for Missed Payments

We already mentioned the first and most crucial reason why co-signing for a loan can backfire. If the individual you co-signed the loan with can't cover the agreed-upon monthly payments for any reason, you'll have to come up with that money yourself.

If you don't have ready funds to cover those payments, this situation can throw your life into turmoil. In the worst circumstances, you might have to move out of your house, sell your car, or do whatever else is necessary to produce the money. 

2. You Can Ruin Your Credit History

You also risk a plummeting credit score if you co-sign for a loan and the other individual who took out the loan can't make the payments. If you have the cash to cover those payments, your credit score will not be harmed. If you don't have the money, though, your score can take a significant hit.

3. You Risk Debt Collector Harassment

If you co-sign for a loan, and the person with whom you got it can't make the payments, the lending entity will turn to you for that money. If you can't pay it promptly, they can turn the matter over to debt collectors.

You probably won't like the experience of having debt collectors calling and emailing you incessantly until you can get the lending entity their money. The lender can even step up the legal action by suing you and garnishing your wages if you take too long to rectify the situation.

Consider Before Co-Signing for a Loan

Certain situations might arise when you'll want to co-sign a loan, most likely for a family member or close friend. Think carefully before you do, though.

If the individual you co-signed the loan with can't make the payments, you might get harassed by debt collectors until you produce that cash and give it to the lending entity. If you can't get the lender that money quickly, that will negatively impact your credit score as well.

You'll also have to undertake the responsibility of paying the lending entity whatever amount of money the other co-signer doesn't have. Doing so can make your life difficult if you must dip into your savings, if you're on a fixed income, or in similar situations.

Before you co-sign for a loan, make sure you trust the person with whom you're co-signing. Understand that you're on the hook for any missed payments if their fortunes change.
