Automated Security Alert, a Pittsburgh-area company that specializes in medical alarms, telehealth and medication dispensers, has been experiencing growth in an economy where other companies are struggling to keep their doors open. This growth is due to Automated Security Alert’s Care Transition platform they have in place.

For over twenty years, Automated Security Alert has provided products to hospitals and nursing homes, as well as products and services to help senior citizens, recovering patients, and physically disabled persons to live more independent, secure lives while living in their own homes. In addition to personal security alarms, the company offers automated medication dispensers, monitored smoke detectors, door alarms, fall detectors, remote patient monitoring and other personal security items.

The company has recently expanded their service area with new offices in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania and Cleveland, Ohio. Automated Security Alert is expanding their customer base in every market they serve, including hospitals, pharmacies, nursing homes and individuals, all while working with health plans, Medicaid, and Medicare.

Leading the expansion is the newly recruited Jason Seyler, Director of Life Safety. Seyler has previously worked for AlertOne Services where he built their National Retail Division from scratch. Under his leadership, the company is expecting the current growth trend to expand rapidly.

Automated Security Alert, Inc., has provided freedom and security since 1988 to over 60,000 consumers through the use of technology and services that enable seniors, physically-challenged persons and recovering patients to maintain an independent lifestyle in their homes. ASA?s creative, dependable solutions include medical alert systems(personal emergency response systems); fall detection systems; and medication management systems, including electronic pill dispensers and monitored medication dispensers.

URAC?s Patient Centered Health Care Home (PCHCH) Programs have brought a new approach to medical home recognition to the marketplace. The recent release of the URAC PCHCH Practice Achievement has intensified demand for URAC PCHCH Auditor Certification. Auditor Certification prepares those entities whose responsibility will lie in auditing health care home practices on their degree of successful achievement of the PCHCH standards.

URAC PCHCH Auditor Certification supports third party review of practices while assuring practices and providers that these audits are performed by qualified health professionals. URAC?s PCHCH Auditor Certification is targeted at health care management organizations such as medical home pilots, health plans and practice consulting organizations among others.

Like most URAC accreditation programs, practice success is validated by an onsite review, this is unique in medical home recognition programs. In the URAC approach, a practice must undergo an onsite audit to demonstrate that the standards have been successfully implemented, verifying that practices are meeting the standards along with supporting the practice during the process. The URAC PCHCH Auditor Certification program encompasses compliance with URAC’s Core Module Standards, Business Associate requirements, a URAC observation onsite of the auditor, and annual auditor training and reporting requirements.

A recent report from the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) showed URAC?s PCHCH Achievement as meeting all of the ?Guidelines for Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition and Accreditation Programs,? which addresses requirements of medical home programs. URAC was the only organization that required a URAC Reviewer or URAC PCHCH Certified Auditors for on-site assessment. The MGMA report is available at http://www.mgma.com/Store/ProductDetails.aspx?id=1366580.
