MissionIR would like to highlight AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE Amex: ADK). AdCare Health Systems is an expanding national leader in the development, ownership, and management of assisted living facilities, skilled nursing and retirement communities. The company’s 3,600 employees provide high-quality care for patients and residents residing in the 44 facilities that it operates.

In the company?s news yesterday,

MissionIR announced that its interview with Boyd Gentry, the president and chief executive officer of AdCare Health Systems, is now available online. The complete interview can be heard at http://adk.missionir.com/adk/interview.html.

Mr. Gentry discussed the company?s rapid growth, its aggressive M&A program, and acquisitions that are on the horizon for 2012, which are projected to increase the company?s revenue run rate by more than 500% over 2010. Mr. Gentry additionally provided an overview of the company?s business model and discussed the background of the company?s executive team, including recent additions of new talent. Mr. Gentry emphasized AdCare?s tremendous growth, which is singular among its competitors in these challenging economic times.

?We?re the only long-term care company that is aggressively acquiring these smaller, regionally focused, privately held, nursing home operators,? Mr. Gentry stated. ?Typically, these acquisition targets are not focused on the more complex, but more profitable sub-acute segment of the business. AdCare is able to build upon the solid custodial care reputations of these smaller operators by expanding their clinical capabilities and post-acute services. Our revenues grew four-fold in 2010, and then last year we doubled to a run rate of $ 200 million. We have a number of acquisitions in the pipeline and expect by the end of this year to at least double again.?

Birmingham, AL (PRWEB) January 31, 2012

MEDSEEK, the provider of the healthcare industry?s only enterprise strategic patient engagement and management solutions, today announced its engagement with Banner Health to deliver a fully integrated patient, consumer, physician and employee experience, enabling Banner to strategically attract and engage patients and facilitate communication between physicians and patients. The commitment, which also includes the development of an enterprise-wide employee experience, provides a unified, online view of secure, clinical data for Banner?s 7,000 physicians, and their patients, across a network of 23 hospitals in 7 Western states.

The project will see Banner deploying MEDSEEK solutions to enhance the consumer experience and deliver strategic and highly valued patient engagement functionality, including patient enrollment, secure patient/physician messaging and the ability for patients to access test results and health records online.

Banner will also implement MEDSEEK?s strategic physician engagement technologies to enhance its accountable care and population health management programs. Banner emphasizes its commitment to improving the patient?s healthcare experience through greater care coordination and engagement, and the use of information technology to improve population health and reduce costs by managing quality and patient outcomes.

?The partnership with MEDSEEK helps Banner to strategically invest in technology that will provide our patients and their families the best possible experience and care,? said Ron Bunnell, executive vice president and chief administrative officer for Banner Health. ?MEDSEEK?s solutions will provide a platform to connect all caregivers in the Banner family of hospitals and allow us to make the patient experience more meaningful, usable and engaging,? he continued.

?MEDSEEK is excited be a part of Banner Health?s strategic physician and patient engagement plans,? said Peter Kuhn, MEDSEEK CEO. ?In extremely competitive healthcare markets, and with Meaningful Use and accountable care critical to continued success, Banner and other leading healthcare organizations are under increasing pressure to reduce costs and raise revenues by engaging patients, managing health conditions and improving quality of care. We?re proud that Banner has selected MEDSEEK to deliver on these strategic goals.?

Healthcare reform, accountable care and Meaningful Use, and the shifting emphasis from episodic treatment towards health management, present greater challenges to large, geographically distributed healthcare systems to provide highly coordinated care at lower cost. Banner selected MEDSEEK?s strategic engagement and health management solutions to help meet these challenges by facilitating care coordination through improved communications between physicians and their patients, and between hospital staff, case managers and care teams, in order to deliver the best health outcomes for patients across the continuum of care.

Banner recently announced the creation of an accountable care organization consisting of Banner- employed and affiliated physicians and hospitals in Arizona utilizing information technology and a team-based approach to providing care for patients. The Banner Health Network model focuses on wellness and improving patient care outcomes through better coordination and access to patient information.

Through the deployment of MEDSEEK?s enterprise digital health solutions, Banner will continue to provide a rich, personalized patient experience and broaden its health management initiatives through features such as home care through continuation of care documents, remote physician visits (or eVisits) and enhanced physician-patient communication.

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) January 16, 2012

Never a company to get stuck in a rut or fall behind the times, Pittsburgh-based Automated Security Alert has a finger on the pulse of public preference: social networking. Although most people view popular social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter as a fun way to keep up with friends, Automated Security Alert sees the potential of social networking as way to educate the public about the options and benefits of medical alarms and monitored medication dispensers.

Jason Seyler, the company?s Director of Life Safety, commented, ?Social media is a great place to find news, information, and reviews on healthcare professionals and similar providers of healthcare related services. With over 175 million Twitter accounts and 800 million active Facebook users it?s imperative to educate people with these platforms . . . Many are unaware of our technologies.? Automated Security Alert is using Facebook, Twitter, and blogging to reach thousands of people to make them aware of how simple precautions such as medical alarms and monitored medication dispensers can save lives, provide immediate intervention during a health crisis, and prevent serious medication errors. By using social networking to expand their reach, the company wants to further its mission to keep people out of nursing homes and in the comfort of their own homes for as long as possible.

Automated Security Alert can be found online at the following places: on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Google+, and on ASA’s Blog.

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 automated medication dispensers.
