While bonuses and discount coupons are some additional benefits every employee seeks, health insurance is an essential perk that determines whether or not an experienced professional will apply to a particular company. Health insurance is no longer a luxury but a necessity for both companies and employees. However, since relevant policies can be a bit expensive for individuals, companies are investing in group insurance. While paying monthly premiums can undeniably increase your business expenses, the hidden benefits and perks will encourage you to instantly get a group policy. Here are some top reasons why your business should also get one for your staff.

1.  Keep Your Employees Healthy

As an employer, it is your duty to overlook your employees’ physical and mental health. Getting group insurance can ensure that they are medically covered and protected against illnesses and underlying issues. When it comes to health, prevention is better than cure. Since health insurance provides access to medical care round the clock, any lingering issue can be easily diagnosed and treated before it gets serious.

Today, the companies failing to provide free policies to their staff are frowned upon. Since working professionals are free to sue their employers or gain compensation for physical or mental health damage on your company premises, you can combat such situations too. Furthermore, inducing workplace wellness can create a happy and positive environment, which your staff will love and appreciate. A healthier and happier team will function better and the members will get along well. This also means that your team will take fewer holidays, thereby keeping your performance high.

2.  Boost Confidence and Productivity in Your Employees

With insurance, your team members can work in peace and stay assured about having access to medical care. Working professionals obliged to pay their own medical bills can also save money and avoid their debt from piling on. This, in turn, keeps them happy and satisfied. In a way, your employees may portray their gratitude by working harder and reaching goals with vigor. According to the Desjardins insurance agents, you can incorporate additional policy benefits in your group insurance to design a complete wellness program. For example, dental care and prescription drug coverage can provide additional medical benefits.

Every company needs its employees to be confident and productive to meet its daily and yearly goals. With enhanced productivity, your tasks will be completed on time, which, in turn, will keep your clients satisfied. Basically, this minor incentive can keep your team members content.

3.  Manage Finances and Taxes with Ease

If you get group insurance for your company, you will likely benefit from a reduction in taxes. Some government bodies exempt companies from paying taxes or deduct a part of their final tax amount on group incentives. The pre-tax budget allocated to employees is used to pay for the health policies, which increases their income at the end of each year. The tax-deductible benefits are, therefore, useful for both the employer and staff members. You may have to invest a little time and effort in filling the relevant paperwork. Pay attention to other tax credits applicable in your region to gain reap maximum benefit.

Some employers are subjected to pay long medical bills for employees who get hurt on their office premises. With a health policy in place, you can save money and use it for your business instead. By getting group insurance, you are also saving money by paying lower premiums. In turn, you can streamline your budget and operation costs. Redirect the saved money to buy new inventory or towards developing a new service that can help your company grow.

4.  Attract Talented Candidates

As mentioned, certain talented and experienced candidates consider health insurance a priority and refrain from applying to jobs that fail to provide one. They are aware of the additional benefits and perks of this incentive and look for companies that provide individual or group insurance. While saving money is one of the top benefits, experienced candidates also look forward to working in a healthy and happy environment. While your chance of recruiting experienced candidates increases by a wide margin, you also have a stronger grip on retaining existing talent.

By getting insurance, you are not only giving value to your employees’ health but also helping them save money. With your finances in order and deduction in taxes, you are collectively saving a lot of money as a group. Moreover, since group insurance is cheaper than individual policies, your team can unanimously stay healthy, happy, and financially stable. If you haven’t signed up for a group policy for your company yet, it is high time you do.

If you are like most people, you have probably felt frustrated when your memory fails to live up to your expectations. However, it is possible to improve memory and focus with some simple techniques that anyone can do. This article will share some of the proven ways you can enhance your focus and boost your memory.

1.  Take Nootropics-natural Cognitive Enhancers

Nootropics or natural cognitive enhancers are substances that enhance cognition through chemical means. They work by affecting neurotransmitter levels in the brain, increasing attention span and memory retention, among other things.

Research has shown nootropics to be effective with students who have ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) because it focuses them on tasks they need to complete, like studying for exams.

There are many different types of nootropic drugs. Therefore, by picking the most popular smart drugs in the market, you can get an idea of what they can do. Some of the most common ones include; Adrafinil, Modafinil, and Phenylpiracetam.

2.  Get Enough Sleep

Sleep deprivation and a lack of focus are connected because when you’re running on low energy, it’s much more difficult for us to direct your attention in different directions.

This is just one thing that can help get you focused at work or school: getting enough sleep!

The exact number of hours varies from person to person, but the general rule is that, for most adults, seven or eight hours is a good amount. This will also help you with your memory! When we’re sleep-deprived, it’s more challenging to remember things that have just happened.

3.  Meditation

Meditation is a simple, powerful technique that can be done anywhere, anytime. Start by sitting comfortably with your back straight and eyes closed for about ten minutes each day to get into the habit of meditating. Then you can increase the length of time as it becomes more natural for you and do so just before an important meeting or when studying.

The goal is not to empty your mind but instead focus on only one thing: breathing in through your nose, then out through your mouth slowly, or thinking about specific words and letting everything else go.

What’s most important is being able to control how much attention you give different things. You’ll be more focused when you’re able to say, “This is important and needs my full attention,” while at the same time realizing that other things don’t need this kind of focus.

And meditation has also been shown to improve memory. Research suggests it can better remember information because it promotes a system in our brains called neuroplasticity, which allows neurons in one part of the brain to take over for those lost or damaged from Alzheimer’s disease.

4.  Eat healthy foods

Eating healthily is one of the best preventative measures you can take to avoid memory loss. Fresh vegetables, legumes, and fish are all excellent sources of Omega-rich foods that have been shown in studies to help improve blood flow and cognition.

Studies have also shown that people who eat a diet high in antioxidants are at a lower risk of developing age-related brain diseases like Alzheimer’s.

Legumes such as lentils or beans are good sources of iron linked with higher cognitive function in the elderly. Beans contain protease inhibitors that fight against amyloid plaques from forming on the nerve cells, preventing them from destroying neurons. They also inhibit inflammation in the brain.

Leafy vegetables such as spinach or kale, rich in antioxidants and folate (vitamin B), can help protect against cognitive decline associated with aging. Other leafy greens like chard and collards have been shown to reduce the risk of dementia due to high amounts of lutein that are good for eye health.

5.  Take a Break

Taking a break is very important because it gives your brain a chance to rest and reduce stress. Find something fun or engaging that you enjoy doing during the break, like watching a funny video or sitting in the sun.

The brain loves novelty, so try to do something different each break time. If you usually take a walk, go for a run instead! Changing your routine will help make it easier and more fun.

If you’re looking to boost your memory and improve focus, these tips are a great place to start. Don’t forget about the importance of exercise in this equation as well! Remember that no one-trick will give you instant results – it takes time for changes in our brain chemistry and can take up to 20 minutes before we notice any difference. So keep at it every day until those good habits become second nature.

Komodo Health announced the acquisition of Breakaway Partners, a leading market access software company for the life sciences industry. The acquisition brings together Komodo’s Healthcare Map™ and software with Breakaway Partners’ industry-leading formulary data, policy criteria, and analytics platform to create the industry’s first enterprise market access solution suite based on a comprehensive, real-time view of real-world outcomes and costs.

As healthcare payers and providers continue to shift to value-based payment models, which incentivize the use of the most effective therapies, the market access analytics field has become critical to determine restrictions, reimbursement levels, and coverage decisions. In a domain ripe for innovation, Breakaway Partners has emerged as the leader. ??Its software solutions track formulary changes, medical and pharmacy policy criteria, and payer coverage – in real time and across geographies – to inform market landscape strategies for new and existing therapies.

Together, Komodo and Breakaway are pairing the largest map of real-world evidence with real-time market access insights,” said Arif Nathoo, MD, CEO and co-founder of Komodo Health. “Breakaway is a pioneer in using technology to provide market access teams real-time insights on policy decisions. We couldn’t be more thrilled to add their solutions and expertise to further our mission of reducing the burden of disease.”

“Gaps in access lead to gaps in care delivery,” added Web Sun, President and co-founder of Komodo Health. “In a value-driven world, payers, providers and life sciences companies need faster, more complete insights to bridge the gap between new breakthroughs, the potential impact on patient outcomes, and formulary decisions. With this acquisition, we will be delivering solutions that encompass a real-time, comprehensive view of the entire market access landscape.”

Historically, market access decisions have been based on expensive, manual, and time-intensive analyses of aggregated formulary and policy criteria. The resulting insights were often out-of-date and incomplete, and they lacked visibility into patient outcomes. Now, through a single software interface, it will be possible to quickly understand a

nd prioritize patient access with insights rooted in the current landscape of existing restrictions, as well as the real-world experience of individual patients.

“Legacy formulary aggregators not only lack the depth and breadth of data to see patient outcomes, but also the intuitive software to unlock the insights,” said Christian Pinsonault, Managing Partner at Breakaway Partners. “Together, we are making it possible to track the impact of policy and formulary decisions on patient outcomes and – more importantly – to inform value-driven strategies that improve those outcomes. It will now be possible to quickly understand and prioritize patient access based not only on the current landscape of existing policy restrictions, but also on the real-world experience of individual patients.”

Together, Komodo Health and Breakaway Partners will expand their software capabilities, powered by insights from Komodo’s Healthcare Map, the industry’s largest and most complete database of de-identified, real-world patient data, which tracks more than 325 million de-identified patient journeys. The acquisition further extends Komodo Heath’s expansion across the healthcare ecosystem, delivering a range of real-world data, analytics, and software solutions designed to close gaps in care, improve access, and reduce the burden of disease.

Denver-based health tech leader Eon announced that it is partnering with Community Healthcare System to power their lung and breast cancer care programs. The hospitals of Community Healthcare System: Community Hospital, Munster, St. Catherine Hospital, East Chicago, St. Mary Medical Center, Hobart, and Community Stroke & Rehabilitation Center, Crown Point, are using Eon Essential Patient Management (EPM) computer solutions for patient management and the identification, capture and tracking of incidental findings. An incidental finding occurs when a suspicious abnormality is found on an imaging exam being done for an unrelated reason.

Each year, 200–300 million radiology scans are performed in the U.S. and 25 percent of them have incidental findings. These findings are often the first sign of an underlying condition. In order for proper care and resolution, each one of these findings needs accurate identification and follow-up. Unfortunately, that is not happening often enough. Screening programs, while being effective, don’t capture all of the findings. For example, 95 percent of lung nodules are found incidentally and 50 percent of all incidental breast findings fall outside of screening eligibility.

With Eon EPM, Community Healthcare System is ensuring these missed opportunities are captured and followed up on. Eon EPM is the only market-available software with the necessary technology to identify patients with incidental breast findings from radiology exams-with 95 percent accuracy-and track their follow-up.

Eon EPM also is able to capture lung nodules with 98 percent accuracy. The end result is saving lives. With Eon EPM, more data is gathered, organized and shared per evidence-based guidelines than before with the healthcare team for patients at risk for potentially life-threatening diseases.

“The incidental identification and patient management capabilities of EPM Breast set it apart as healthcare’s only software option for a comprehensive breast program. It offers one solution for both screening and incidental patient populations,” explains Dr. Scott Skibo, Chief Medical Officer at Eon. “Together, the EPM Lung Cancer Screening and the EPM Lung modules deliver the ideal solution for a comprehensive lung program, ensuring all patients get the care they need and no-one falls through the cracks.”

Eon EPM uses Computational Linguistics, a branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI), to extract abnormal findings and clinically relevant information from radiology reports. It is the only computer-based solution to identify incidental findings on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), X-ray exams and Computed Tomography (CT) scans.

Through its partnership with Eon, Community Healthcare System will be able to make great strides toward fighting lung and breast cancer by detecting these diseases when treatment is most effective.

“Finding breast and lung cancers at the earliest stages is the goal of every cancer program in the country,” said Dr. Jonathon Lee, Medical Director of Cancer Services, Community Healthcare System. “Cancer is very beatable when it is treated in the early stages before it spreads and has a chance to take over. With Eon EPM, we now have an amazing tool to help us in this battle.”

Community Healthcare System hopes to achieve a stage shift in how incidental lung and breast findings are identified and managed, a critical step in the fight against two of the most common forms of cancer in the U.S.

“With this system, we can identify the cancers long before the patient even has symptoms and use the software to track the patient from diagnosis to treatment,” Dr. Lee said. “It will help us make sure that someone with an incidental finding is detected and followed up with a specialist in our hospital system. The physicians and nurses in the Community Healthcare System are dedicated to beating this disease and now we have one of the best available weapons to help us win the war against cancer.”

Cloud-based EPM uses the same dashboard for all its disease modules making integration at Community Healthcare System seamless. EPM allows staff to manage both patient populations on a single interface. This saves valuable time that they can now spend on achieving new heights in patient care.

Medtronic plc, the global leader in medical technology, announced the launch of the Prevail™ drug coated balloon (DCB) Catheter in Europe following CE (Conformité Européene) mark. The newest coronary DCB on the market, the Prevail DCB is used during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures to treat narrowed or blocked coronary arteries in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).

During the catheter-based procedure, the balloon inflates within the artery, while the drug is delivered to the arterial tissue where it is absorbed. The Prevail DCB utilizes a rapid absorption drug – paclitaxel – to enable treatment of de novo lesions, small vessel disease, and in-stent restenosis (ISR). DCB angioplasty does not require a permanent implant and is often used in cases where the implantation of a drug-eluting stent (DES) is not desirable or is technically challenging.

“As physicians treat more patients with complex lesions, it is critical to have a drug coated balloon that is highly deliverable across a variety of vasculatures, and also utilizes a drug that absorbs quickly into the vessel,” said Azeem Latib, M.D., lead principal investigator of the PREVAIL Study and section head of interventional cardiology and medical director of structural heart interventions at Montefiore Medical Center in New York City. “The excellent deliverability coupled with a strong safety profile that is backed by clinical evidence makes the Prevail DCB an ideal option for interventional cardiologists using DCB technology to treat their patients.”

The Prevail DCB builds on the excellent safety and efficacy demonstrated in the previous generation IN.PACT™ Falcon DCB clinical program and was reaffirmed by the PREVAIL Study presented at the 2020 PCR e-Course conference. In the PREVAIL Study, the Prevail DCB showed exceptional performance in patients with complex lesions, including those with small vessels and those treated for in-stent restenosis, which occurs when a portion of a stented artery is blocked. The Prevail DCB showed favorable late loss (0.05 ± 0.44 mm) at 6 months and a strong safety profile that included no stent thrombosis, target vessel myocardial infarction (TVMI), or cardiac death and low clinically driven target lesion revascularization (6%) out to one year for all patients.1

“The launch of the Prevail DCB not only underscores our global leadership and commitment to interventional cardiologists around the world, but also highlights our strong focus on complex PCI,” said Jason Weidman, senior vice president and president of the Coronary and Renal Denervation business, which is part of the Cardiovascular Portfolio at Medtronic. “We intentionally designed the Prevail DCB to address the challenges posed by smaller, more complex vessels by leveraging our coronary technologies to provide physicians the ability to navigate through tight lesions with greater confidence.”

The Prevail DCB uses PowerTrac™, the same enhanced technology used in the delivery system for the Medtronic Resolute Onyx™ DES, to provide superior deliverability and two times more pushability than the previous IN.PACT Falcon technology enabling greater control for tortuous anatomies.2 In addition, Prevail DCB has a low crossing profile for exceptional crossability.

The Prevail DCB is the latest addition to the Medtronic coronary portfolio, which also includes the market-leading Resolute Onyx DES in sizes ranging from 2.0-5.0 mm, the Euphora™ semicompliant balloon dilatation catheter, the DxTerity™ Diagnostic Angiography Catheter line, and the Telescope™ Guide Extension Catheter.

The Prevail DCB is available for use in Europe and is not approved in the U.S.

In collaboration with leading clinicians, researchers and scientists worldwide, Medtronic offers the broadest range of innovative medical technology for the interventional and surgical treatment of cardiovascular disease and cardiac arrhythmias. The company strives to offer products and services that deliver clinical and economic value to healthcare consumers and providers around the world.
