Dynamic’s HCC Analytics Solution Identifies Suspicious HCC’s to improve RADV Outcomes

IRVINE, Calif. (PRWEB) December 12, 2017

Dynamic Healthcare Systems, a leading provider of comprehensive solutions to health plans and health systems participating in Medicare Advantage, Managed Medicaid, and Marketplace programs, today announced the utilization of its Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) Analytics solution to assist Medicare Advantage health plans with achieving optimal results from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Risk Adjustment Data Validation (RADV) audits. Poor results on RADV audits can lead to extrapolation of a small subset of findings across the health plans’ entire membership, potentially resulting in large penalties. Dynamic’s analytics solution identifies for health plans areas of potential risk where the plan should focus remediation efforts to help improve RADV outcomes.

“Through the utilization of Dynamic’s HCC Analytics solution, health plans can identify suspicious diagnosis coding that indicates areas where overpayments may have occurred,” says Jim Corbett, Chief Strategy Officer at Dynamic Healthcare Systems. “Dynamic clients can then easily process any resulting diagnosis code deletes through Dynamic’s risk adjustment solutions,” added Corbett.

Dynamic’s robust solutions, like its Medicare Advantage suite of integrated solutions, provide Medicare Advantage health plans and health systems with an enterprise-wide platform that enables a strong risk adjustment strategy ensuring maximum and accurate risk-adjusted payments. Dynamic’s integrated software solutions are designed to ensure health plans and health systems meet the complex compliance and data processing requirements that CMS establishes, monitors, and enforces. Dynamic’s solutions integrate various sources of health plan and provider data to create a single view of a Plan’s membership. This single view facilitates the delivery of high-quality managed care while helping health plans meet compliance and revenue management challenges.

The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program is a highly-competitive program that encourages domestic small businesses to engage in Federal R&D projects that have the potential for commercialization.

BEAVERCREEK, Ohio (PRWEB) December 12, 2017

Redwall Technologies, the leading ISV for multi-modal endpoint device security, today announced that it has been awarded a Phase I contract by the United States Marine Corps to participate in a SBIR program aimed at securing communications and data across a multitude of operating systems used by Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM). Four vendors were competitively selected to receive Phase I awards under SBIR Topic N175-105, “Data Integrity and Confidentiality Resilient Operating System Environment for Multi-Level Security.”

“We are honored to be awarded this Federal R&D work by SBIR,” said John Rosenstengel, Redwall president and CEO. “Redwall is sort of like the BASF of data security throughout pockets of the Federal Government. We don’t make the devices that secure field operations for some military units and first responders, but we do make them more secure through our unique approach to securing mobile data.”

The uniqueness of Redwall Mobile® resides in securing devices at the kernel, the intermediary code between device hardware and software. This approach is a departure from many competing security tools that operate at the application layer using a “sandbox” methodology to isolate applications and data within the operating system. A secure sandbox, or container, is created where corporate (or government) data and apps reside, while personal data and apps remain intact and unchanged. This dual-persona smartphone security method allows one smartphone to be used for both personal and business use.

The issue with the containerized, dual-mode method is the data left in memory on the device that is still accessible in both sandbox and personal-use mode. In this instance, true app/data isolation is not achieved because of the memory leakage.

The Redwall Mobile® method of hardening the smartphone at the kernel layer creates a purer and completely segmented system with multiple personas for both personal and business use. Redwall Mobile® uses cryptographic keys to isolate data and apps for each persona so that when the user changes from one persona to the next, there is no data leakage to memory; it is removed when the user leaves that persona.

“We are seeing more interest within Government agencies in our unique approach to data security,” said Redwall Chief Technology Office Eric Üner. “With attackers now comprising military units of U.S. enemies, our cyber defense must now repel foreign enemy states in addition to rogue hackers. Through the SBIR, the Government is looking to the most innovative minds, and the commercial ISV community is a great start.”

About Redwall Mobile®

More than just a container or simple switch between work and home profiles, Redwall Mobile® features multi-modal personas, each with its own unique apps, data, settings, and encryption keys. The multi-modal feature of Redwall Mobile® delivers a cleaner operating environment because it secures the device at the kernel layer, below the application stack. This security architecture allows Redwall to provide customers with any mode of persona that their security policy requires, whereby one BYOD user can have any number of device personas. Each persona can be built with its own securely isolated apps, data, settings, and authentication requirements that define which processes can access which system features, drivers, files, and networks.

With this unique approach, Redwall Mobile® puts client organizations in a more proactive posture limiting malicious user and virus activity by halting access to sensitive corporate (or personal) data below the application stack. Because Redwall operates below the application layer, it thwarts even highly-sophisticated kernel and driver exploits. Furthermore, Android devices hardened with Redwall are immune to threats like TowelRoot and KingRoot without the need for patches or updates of any kind, and will defend against future zero-day attacks without the need to push an update. No emergency patching is required in this set-and-forget mode of securing access to data and sensitive IP.

Because this technology is firmware-based, it can also be applied to IoT components such as medical instruments, smart appliances, SCADA devices, sensors, and other smart devices.

About Redwall Technologies, LLC

Redwall Technologies was founded in 2013 by a group of defense and intelligence practitioners who had a common desire to secure mobile points of intrusion into government datacenters. Rather than looking at signatures of viruses already in circulation, Redwall founders developed their product on the premise of what would keep us from hacking into a device? Redwall founders took to the offensive, searching for a means to prevent their own “white-hat” hacker team from compromising a mobile device. This led to their development team building device-hardening tools for smartphones, tablets, and other connected devices such as those in SCADA, CANBus, and similar networks.

Redwall's unique, patented technology is typically installed at organizations whose users rely heavily on the highest levels of device performance and availability, while ensuring military-grade security. The prototypical Redwall Technology user is a first responder in a disaster zone or member of a military operations team engaging in matters of national security whose field communications require adapting to fast-changing environments and threat landscapes.

Cybereason's Principal Security Researcher Amit Serper has discovered that a new variant of OSX.Pirrit adware targeting Mac OS X that enables cyber criminals to take full control of a user's Mac computer.

BOSTON (PRWEB) December 12, 2017

Cybereason, creators of the leading cybersecurity data analytics platform including endpoint detection and response, next-generation antivirus, and active monitoring services, today announced that Amit Serper, the company’s Principal Security Researcher, discovered a new, invasive OSX.Pirrit adware variant targeting Mac OS X that enables cyber criminals to take full control of a user’s Mac computer.

This newest OSX.Pirrit version has infected tens of thousands of Mac computers around the world. Typical adware campaigns enable the attackers to flood a person’s computer with ads. However, OSX.Pirrit not only bombards Macs with adware, it spies on users and runs with the highest user privileges, enabling hackers to leverage this adware to capture personal information on the users, including bank account logins and intellectual property of businesses.

To download the copy of Serper’s research, visit:

https://www.cybereason.com/blog/targetingedge-mac-os-x-pirrit-malware-adware-still-active

“This is the third chapter of the OSX.Pirrit saga, and this variant is by far the most invasive and dangerous. Infected users will find it extremely difficult to uninstall the program because it is either masked as an Apple update (which the vast majority of users will click on thinking it is legitimate) or as part of the Apple configuration system. In very rare instances, the infected user will be able to uninstall the adware,” said Serper.

Over the past two years, Serper spent significant time analyzing OSX.Pirrit adware. His first OSX.Pirrit discovery in April 2016 provided details on how the adware had the potential to carry out malicious activity and how it contained practices borrowed from traditional malware. Several months later in July 2016, Serper disclosed additional information on OSX.Pirrit including the name of TargetingEdge, the company behind OSX.Pirrit’s creation.

“It is extremely important not to underestimate the dangers of adware. Today, most security professionals dismiss adware and consider these programs low security risks compared to the other security issues they face. Attackers are aware of this practice. They add components or use components already embedded in the adware to use them in a way that’s analogous to malware,” added Serper.

In June 2017, Serper was the first security researcher in the world to discover a cyber vaccine for the NotPetya ransomware, an attack that caused more than $1 billion in losses and damages to corporations around the globe. In October 2017, Serper was the first to discover a vaccine for the equally nasty Bad Rabbit ransomware that spread around the world, causing massive productivity losses equaling hundreds of millions of dollars to many corporations.

Transformance USA, an iconic Dallas-based non-profit credit counseling service established in 1974, has partnered with Cooperative Processing Resources of Richardson, Texas to provide an enterprise-wide comprehensive and integrated credit counseling software solution.

Since Transformance USA’s conversion from its old-school aging system to the new CPR DMS platform – which went live in November -- Dr. Prescott and Mr. Ginevich report a smooth transition.

“No matter what area of debt counseling you specialize in, be it credit, student loans, housing, or financial education, office automation and data management is the crux of our existence. We gather data for a myriad of stakeholders -- our own internal reports, client profiles, donor communications, and government filings. Our partnership with CPR greatly improves our productivity as well as our responsiveness - and service to our clients,” concludes Prescott.

Placing in two categories makes JLG one of the few companies to win awards in two categories throughout the 16-year history of the competition.

MCCONNELLSBURG, Pa. (PRWEB) December 12, 2017

JLG Industries, Inc., an Oshkosh Corporation company [NYSE:OSK] and a leading global manufacturer of aerial work platforms and telehandlers, earned top honors in two categories of Rental Equipment Register’s (RER) annual Innovative Product Award competition. The JLG® 1644 and 1732 high capacity telehandlers placed first in the material handling category, while JLG SmartLoad Technology won the technology enhancements category, making JLG one of the few companies to win awards in two categories throughout the 16-year history of the competition.

“Taking home two category awards is a real honor for us, especially in a year when RER reports having a record number of companies participating in the competition,” said John Boehme, JLG senior product manager, telehandlers. “The 1644 and 1732 high capacity telehandlers and SmartLoad technology are winners in their own right, but when combined, they give operators even greater confidence during operation and protect fleets by providing operators additional guidance on load capabilities.”

The JLG® 1644 and 1732 high capacity telehandlers offer 15,650 and 16,755 pounds of lift capacity, respectively. These machines are the first JLG® telehandlers in the high-capacity category and the first telehandlers in North America with optional SmartLoad Technology. SmartLoad is an advanced bundle of three integrated technologies, including attachment recognition, a load management information system and a load stability indicator.

Additionally, the JLG® 1644 and 1732 are among the first equipped with the company’s precision gravity lowering system. Equipped with this system, the telehandlers rely on hydraulic power to raise the boom, but use gravity to lower it, providing the operator with better, more precise control.

RER Innovative Product Awards celebrate many of the most innovative products manufactured in the past year and marketed to the equipment rental industry. A panel of more than a dozen rental company owners and operators and other industry participants selected the award winners in 15 categories of equipment and tools. Category award winners will be profiled in upcoming issues of RER magazine.

The Hurify Tokens and Blockchain platform promises to deliver a better way for IOT app developers to monetize their services

SEATTLE (PRWEB) December 16, 2017

Many insiders and authorities point to the Blockchain's development to be every bit as impactful and important as the launch of the world wide web itself. A close second to this is the recent explosion in interest surrounding the Internet of Things (IOT). On the cutting edge of these developments are Ethereum Blockchain powered by Hurify, poised to revolutionize how IOT projects are executed with their breakthrough new platform. Developers and clients are poised to benefit from the smooth workflow exchange and anonymity Hurify offers, with transactions taking place with their own Ethereum ERC20 standard HUR tokens. The Hurify token presale is launched today and ends on December 25, 2017.

"We see Hurify disrupting business as usual in the IOT world in a very positive way," commented a spokesperson from the company. "This is a new way to work with developers creating apps and performing other services and it's certain to benefit both ends of the developer/client relationship. Ultimately that points to reduced stress, avoiding unnecessary problems and more productive workflow, all things which effect the bottom line and quality of work."

Hurify has certainly attracted quality backers to the project so far, with a wide range of diverse firms coming on board as strategic partners highlighted by Stewart Mckelvey; DroneThinkDo; TokenLot; and H3Buildings all backing Hurify enthusiastically.

The process of using Hurify to make connections has been developed to be as smooth as seamless as possible. Both developers and clients create profiles, clients submit projects based on their needs, which developers then apply for, negotiations take place and escrow is deployed. HUR tokens are currently available for Beta testing on Rinkeby for easy, anonymous and secure transactions.

Smart signs are pointing towards Hurify as the future of platforms to hire app developers and other service providers free from middleman and outside interference. With IOT services rising above the USD 75 Billion in the marketplace calling this significant is an understatement. By disrupting existing models in this area Blockchain technology again proves itself to be both versatile and beneficial across a myriad of different technology spaces, large and small.

InventHelp, a leading inventor service company, is working to submit Power Share to companies for their review.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. (PRWEB) December 16, 2017

"My wife and I were sitting at home one night just talking about how you can share photos and music to each other’s phones," said one of two inventors from Houma, La. "And then it occurred to us that it would be great if phones could share battery power as well."

They developed the POWER SHARE to offer a convenient way to share battery power between two phones. The design makes it easier to supply power to a phone in a pinch. It eliminates the need to plug the phone into a conventional electrical outlet. The invention ensures that the phone has battery power available for calls, texts, Internet use, etc. This provides added peace of mind. Additionally, all of this keeps the battery from dying.

The original design was submitted to the New Orleans office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 16-NWO-158, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

LMScheckout e-commerce capabilities now integrated with Bridge LMS

BROOMFIELD, Colo. (PRWEB) December 16, 2017

Envisiontel’s cutting edge shopping cart solution, LMScheckout, provides a new opportunity for Bridge by Instructure customers to create and manage a multi-tenant e-commerce solution to sell, enroll, and deploy training content to the extended enterprise.

Like many LMS providers, the challenge of providing an e-commerce solution within Bridge is that it was designed to cater to a known, internal user: someone who has their training enrollments assigned to them from the system, often based on their role within the organization. At its most basic level, an e-commerce solution must be able to provide access to an unknown, external user: a person who needs to choose their own training.

“We built LMScheckout with a mission in mind,” commented Jonathan Turkle, vice president of Envisiontel. “Our mission is to provide external users with a robust storefront experience, one that gives individuals and stores owners all the unique transaction and enrollment tools they need, so users can design their own learning path in an environment that both inspires and motivates them.”

With the integration of LMScheckout, Bridge customers can:

• Import their entire Bridge training catalogue into a highly customizable storefront platform.
• Customize and group catalogs into offerings based on multiple criteria.
• Pass student data back and forth between the Bridge LMS and the storefront.
• Purchase and access courses or review course progress without ever having to leave the storefront environment.
• Manage user notifications, credit card transactions, invoicing, purchase orders, and discounting through LMScheckout.
• Leverage the Salesforce integration in LMScheckout, where students can be tracked as contacts and sales can be tracked as opportunities.

“Pairing Instructure with LMScheckout allows our customers to reach an extended audience and optimize the training provided through Bridge,” said Melissa Loble, vice president of partnerships and professional services at Instructure. “With LMScheckout’s background and focus on education, their solution is tailored to cater to our customer’s training needs on an individualized basis.”

For end-users, LMScheckout provides a rich user experience, where visitors can easily navigate a blend of course offerings based on their preferences, browse through course recommendations, customer reviews and ratings. Sharing through course embed codes and social media hooks are just a few way users can promote course options to friends and associates.

For the store owner, the LMScheckout e-commerce platform is an opportunity to market and promote training content across multiple distribution outlets. Store owners can create and manage an almost unlimited number of uniquely branded child stores, where each store can be individually provisioned from the same Bridge instance. This multi-tenant solution means store owners can create any number individual child stores to market and sell training through training partners or by targeting individual market verticals.

The result of all these offerings is a unique opportunity for Bridge admins to extend their reach with a fully integrated solution to sell and market their Bridge online courses to a brand new audience in the online marketplace.

Technica's Athermal FBG devices enable size reduction of optical wavelength referencing and calibration circuits used in telecom, optical sensing, spectroscopy, and for optical test, measurement, and monitoring instruments.

ATLANTA, BEIJING, and SINGAPORE (PRWEB) December 17, 2017

FBGs are reliable all-fiber optical components have been used for making accurate and reliable temperature and strain measurements for over two decades. However, when used as optical wavelength references or markers, FBGs need to be packaged into devices that ensure the absence of any strains on the FBG while also passively compensating for temperature fluctuations in the surrounding environment. Technica’s family of T95 Athermal FBGs has now been expanded to include smaller, compact size, mini packaged devices packaged in both single-ended and double-ended configurations. Optical wavelength referencing circuits are widely used in industry and in research and development laboratories. Often used together with other optical components, Athermal FBGs are an enabling technology for sub-picometer level absolute measurement systems.    

The T95 is a Wavelength Reference consisting of a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) encapsulated in a package that contains advanced materials effective at providing passive temperature compensation by matching the coefficient of temperature expansion (CTE) of the FBG’s single mode (SM) fiber. Typically, when changes of temperature occur and the fiber FBG expands, the center wavelength of the FBG shifts as well. In the case of the T95 Athermal Packaged FBG, the compensation material bonded to and surrounding the FBG fiber shrinks proportionally to the expansion of the FBG fiber to yield a passively temperature compensated FBG device. Our precision athermal packaging yields excellent wavelength stability over the customers’ temperature range of interest, typically -10 to +60 Degrees Celsius. Available in a wide range of optical specifications and exhibiting stable operation for highly accurate long-term use. Proprietary and licensed technologies are used to ensure that each sensor has a stable optical core and a matching material composition and outer diameter for device protection that is well fit for the environment in which the device will be used. Inquire with Technica about custom packaging options for integration into customer designs. 

“This new family of Mini Athermal FBGs has proven to perform well as part of new generation wavelength referencing systems embedded in our customers’ test and measurement instruments for use in Aerospace, Automotive, Medical, Nuclear, and Civil Engineering applications. A good alternative to FBGs that need to be placed on a block and be heated or cooled to maintain wavelength stability, the expanding T95 family of passively compensated optical wavelength reference devices is the basis for a growing number of test and measurement instruments configurations to address emerging industry needs” stated Alice Yang, Director of Marketing at Technica. 

The T95 Athermal FBG has been in production for several years and continues to receive excellent customer feedback. Currently installed in various applications with practically no returns since its initial release. Now, the newly expanded family of Athermal FBGs is poised to find applications in an expanding range of designs.

Tracking deadlines for each step for the admission process for dozens of colleges can be a nightmare. IvyTies solves this longstanding problem by introducing the Application Timeline Tool.

(PRWEB) December 17, 2017

“Applying to numerous colleges and keeping track of deadlines can be overwhelming. Even the most organized applicant can lose track of a deadline. IvyTies makes it easy for students to stay on track in the application process,” says Gaurav Chopra, Director of International Admissions, Stenberg College, Canada. Not only do students often miss out application deadlines but also many colleges lose out potential applicants just because they don't have a way to remind all interested applicants about their application deadlines. To solve this longstanding problem, IvyTies, an EdTech startup, is the first to introduce the Application Timeline Tool.

“IvyTies helps students remember deadlines so that you no longer have to worry about forgetting when you must turn your documents to our school. It is a very helpful way for students to stay on top of the requirements,” says William Velez, Assistant Director for International Admissions & Recruitment, Chemeketa Community College, Oregon. A college admission officer can enter their application deadlines for each step in a given term on IvyTies. Students applying for a particular term for a particular college just need to click a button to add it to their calendar. IvyTies merges the deadlines for each step of the admission process for each college into a common timeline. Students can then clearly see the next upcoming deadline across all the colleges that they are applying to, and would receive multiple email reminders for each deadline.

The IvyTies team has been working hard to identify unmet needs of both colleges and applicants, and built an innovative solution that works for both parties after multiple iterations of the solution. “The team at IvyTies have always provided a professional and attentive service. The website is very intuitive and simple for schools to edit and update, and the look and feel of the site is modern and up-to-date. We look forward to connecting with many international students through the IvyTies platform,” says Andrew Murray, Marketing Coordinator at International Management Institute, Luzern, Switzerland.

The current solution in the market requires students to join the mailing list of each university that they are interested in. IvyTies is the first platform that provides students with a common application deadline timeline across all the colleges that they are interested in applying to.

IvyTies is a leader in higher education technology that is seeking to become a one-stop solution for international admissions. “IvyTies is a very user-friendly platform. As a college administrator who works with international students who speak a multitude of languages, this is extremely important. I am thrilled a platform like this exists,” says Katherine Murrin, Coordinator, International Students Office, Long Beach City College.

The Application Timeline Tool is currently available on http://www.IvyTies.com and is free for both students and colleges. Colleges not currently active on IvyTies can claim their college profile on IvyTies for free, and add the application timelines for each term. Students visiting the college profile on IvyTies can subscribe to the application timeline for free.

About IvyTies. IvyTies is the world's first social network platform that connects potential students with over 10,000 colleges around the world. Whereas most existing platforms are mere information aggregators, meant for students to browse like Yellow Pages©, IvyTies is an innovative platform that facilitates information exchange within and between applicants, current students, and university admission officers.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (PRWEB) December 26, 2017

For entrepreneurs struggling to sell their product or service, Todd Brown's new book may be the breakthrough they've been hoping for. According to Brown, "It hands entrepreneurs a powerful marketing method for making any product or service wildly-captivating to prospects who buy."

Based on Brown's fifteen years of experience in the world of direct marketing, this new book is written for entrepreneurs struggling to sell their product or service in a crowded, competitive marketplace. It introduces readers to a marketing method Brown refers to as "The Big Marketing Idea" -- something he was first introduced to in early 2000 by his mentor, best-selling author Michael Masterson.

"Today, trying to drive sales for your product by screaming a louder promise... making a bigger claim... or using hyped-up marketing copy... is ineffective and foolish," says Brown. "You need something different, something bigger to get your prospects attention and captivate their interest. That's what The Big Marketing Idea gives to entrepreneurs."

For the business-builders motivated to learn and use Brown's method, it could be quite the business game-changer.

"Using the Big Marketing Idea gives entrepreneurs an exciting marketing message which stands-out... gets attention... and captivates prospects... as it turns them from seekers into excited new customers," says Brown.

And, whenever any entrepreneur is seeing lots of new customer sales, growing their business can become exhilarating and fun again.
