"This is an important validation for hospital systems who are committed to a holistic approach to managing key performance metrics. The training and ongoing support of staff to effectively communicate to patients, is key to the overall patient experience and is an often-overlooked opportunity. I have witnessed the transformative power of training doctors, nurses and staff on compassionate communication skills over the years of developing and using this training program," says Dr. Anthony Orsini, President and CEO of BBN.

BBN trained the NICU staff using their IMPROVING PATIENT SATISFACTION: It's All in the Delivery® program which utilizes proven communication techniques to teach physicians, nurses and hospital staff how to enhance the overall patient experience by forming relationships with patients and families through better communication. The training identifies key behaviors, uses experiential learning, workshops and real-time coaching.

"The training program designed and administered by Dr. Orsini, has significantly improved the way our physicians, nurses and team members communicate with our families, said Jose Perez, MD, Corporate Medical Director, Department of Neonatology, Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies, Orlando, FL. The ability to measure this improvement using Press Ganey scores, allows us to link staff improvements to financial performance."

CBD/Hemp Oil Businesses Seeking Merchant Account Solutions Rapidly Growing On EthosPay

EthosPay, a specialist merchant service provider for high-risk industries, has announced a record number of businesses within the CBD/hemp oil industry seeking merchant processing solutions in 2018. Over the past nine months, the number of vendors selling non-psychoactive forms of marijuana seeking merchant processing solutions with EthosPay has increased by more than 400% in comparison with 2017.

The legalization of marijuana, both for recreational and medicinal uses, across many states in America is a major contributing factor to the increase in businesses seeking merchant accounts. To date, 33 states have legalized medicinal marijuana, representing almost a fifth of the US population. It is widely expected that other states will soon follow suit as a poll by Pew Research Center found that 62% of Americans, including 74% of millennials, said that they support the legalization of marijuana.

The legalization of marijuana has led to a huge growth in the number of businesses selling legal cannabis and associated products. By the end of 2019, the CBD/hemp oil industry is expected to be worth more than the firearms and ammunition industry. The same report states that if sales continue on their current trajectory, the industry will grow more than 200% between now and 2020. These factors have had a knock-on effect with businesses seeking urgent merchant processing solutions to deal with the demand from their customers. Read this for more information.

"We have never witnessed an industry explode as quickly as the legal cannabis industry", said EthosPay Press Manager, Shea Robinson, "2018 was a significant year for supporters of legal marijuana and it looks as though 2019 will be another banner year. Currently, there are no signs of this rapid growth slowing down".

Supporting future projections about the growth of the CBD/hemp oil industry are numerous studies displaying the benefits of using various parts of the plant for medical purposes. Anxiety, depression, heart disease, pain relief, and sleeping disorders are a few of the many benefits cited by various recent studies. These studies help to project the industry as legitimate and are sure to contribute to the huge number of businesses operating within the industry.

EZ Waiting Room Expands their National Effort to Raise Awareness of Type-two Diabetes Risk with a Brandperx Partnership

A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) finds that 84 million American adults (more than 1 in 3) have prediabetes, and EZ Waiting Room wants to do something about this pending crisis. Prediabetes—a condition characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, but not high enough to be classified as type-2 diabetes—affects over 75 million Americans who are unaware of their condition. The ez WaitingRoom™ app offers people a "perfect way to spend a minute" where they can take the one-minute Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test while waiting for their doctor's visit to start.

"We are thrilled to support the effort to increase the awareness of Prediabetes and to assist in making a positive difference in the health of our nation by helping fewer people progress to Type 2 Diabetes; we know that awareness does make a difference for people. The ez WaitingRoom™ app offers people a safe, private, and enjoyable experience on their device while waiting at a doctors' office. Our new partnership with the Brandperx network of over 250,000 doctors opens this up to the vast majority of the people in need in our country," says Ed Young, CEO of EZ Waiting Room LLC. "We're serious about helping doctors reach the positive outcomes that they desire for their patients."

Last year, the American Diabetes Association (ADA), American Medical Association (AMA), and CDC, along with the Ad Council, released PSAs that helped hundreds of thousands of Americans learn their risk for developing type 2 diabetes by directing people to take a Type 2 Diabetes/Prediabetes Risk Test. The American Diabetes Association started a program earlier in 2018 along with the ez WaitingRoom™ app to reach the many millions more that need to take the Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test. Building on that program's initial success the program is growing from 15,000 doctor offices to availability in over 150,000 doctor offices through the ez WaitingRoom™ apps partnership with the Brandperx network of over 250,000 doctors. Continue reading.

"Not only do we want to help raise awareness of prediabetes risk factors, but we also want to leverage our connection with doctors to help them identify and deliver care to the patients who have high levels of prediabetes risk. This initiative is more than an awareness campaign; we want to help doctors stage 75 million interventions with the Americans who don't realize they are speeding down the road to type-2 diabetes". -Ed Young, CEO

Patients can often reverse prediabetes through weight loss, diet changes, and increased physical activity. Diagnosis is critical, as research shows that people are much more likely to make the necessary lifestyle changes once they are aware of their condition. A rise in the incidence of type 2 diabetes presents a significant threat to people in America, increasing healthcare costs across the country. To reverse this trend, EZ Waiting Room, LLC is supporting the national effort and working to make an impact in the community through the national launch of the ez WaitingRoom™ app and collaboration with the ADA.

Download the app at http://www.ezwaitingroom.com or directly at the app stores, iOS/Android, and additional information on the overall campaign is available online at http://www.doihaveprediabetes.org.
