New technology developed by Clinical Support Services, Inc. (CSS) will help Community-based Care Transition Program (CCTP) coalitions track patients and document required interviews and other data, as mandated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

The success of this national program will depend largely upon key factors such as communications, compliance, data compilation, reporting and billing (involving both the CMS List Bill and payment scheduled for providers). CSS has developed software and new Auto Enroller functionality to help CCTP agencies track patients and document required interviews and other data. CSS?s List Bill functionality uploads patient information to enable participating facilities to receive reimbursement for their services from Medicare.

CSS?s software provides a registry function that assigns all data into discrete, queriable fields. The software provides secure methods of storing and tracking patient data, thus avoiding any potential HIPAA violations. Communication components include a secure electronic messaging system to provide HIPAA-compliant transfer of data among the primary stakeholders: hospitals, community-based coaching organizations and individual transition coaches. CSS?s technology gives CCTP coalitions the ability to offer each patient access to a Personal Health Record.

CSS?s CCTP-specific programming also:

Attorneys Andres Alonso and David Krangle, founding partners of Alonso Krangle LLP, a national law firm focused on child safety, applaud Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) for her recent letter urging federal safety regulators to ban the sale of toys made with high-powered Neodymium magnets. In a letter to Inez Tennenbaum, Commissioner of the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC), Senator Gillibrand points out that while such magnet toys are marketed to children over the age of 14, injury reports indicate that these products are getting into the hands of younger children. Swallowing a high-powered Neodymium magnet can result in serious injuries, including bowel ulcerations, intestinal damage, blood poisoning and even death. [gillibrand.senate.gov/newsroom/press/release/gillibrand-urges-feds-to-ban-the-sale-of-dangerous-high-powered-toy-magnets_]

According the Senator, there have been at least 43 incidents of children and toddlers who accidentally swallowed these magnets since 2010. This year has already recorded 19 reported incidents of children who accidentally ingested these magnets. In March, for example, a 3-year-old girl sustained three holes in her lower intestine and one in her stomach after swallowing 37 high-powered Buckyballs magnets.

The CPSC issued a recall for Buckyballs magnet toys in March 2010 that were incorrectly marked for ages 13 and older, a violation of toy labeling standards. Other manufacturers, including MegaBrands Inc, the maker of Magnetix toys, have issued several recalls following serious injuries to children. According to Senator Gillibrand, the CPSC has also responded to the risks posed by these toys by alerting consumers through an ad campaign and by placing warning labels on the magnets’ packaging. [cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml10/10251.html; cpsc.gov/CPSCPUB/PREREL/prhtml07/07164.html]

Alonso Krangle LLP has already filed several lawsuits on behalf of children who allegedly sustained serious injuries following ingestion of high-powered magnet toys. (Case No. 30-2012-568280 & Case No. 30-2012-568300 Lawsuits filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, MEGA Brands of America Defendant). The firm?s attorneys agree with Senator Gillibrand?s assertion that the current warnings on their packaging have not reduced the number of injuries associated with these products. It is time for the CPSC to ban the sale of Neodymium magnets in retail stores and limit use to professional use only.

Alonso Krangle LLP offers free lawsuit evaluations to families whose children sustained serious injuries due to high-powered magnet toys.

San Diego, Ca (PRWEB) November 19, 2011

Firstat Nursing Services, a premier home nursing and home health agency in San Diego, CA is supporting American Diabetes Month by helping families understand the different types of assistance available to them when looking for help in caring for seniors with diabetes.

Diabetes is a serious disease. If it isn?t managed, it can damage many parts of the body, leading to heart attacks, strokes, amputation, blindness, kidney failure and nerve damage. But there is good news; diabetes complications can be prevented or delayed by properly managing blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Eating healthy, being physically active and quitting smoking can also help lower the risk of diabetes complications.

?People can often control their condition with regular exercise and a good diet. Unfortunately, some diabetics are physically unable to endure rigorous activity and maintain a steady weight,? said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services.

Due to the changes in kidney and liver functions as we age, seniors seem to be more susceptible to low blood sugars. Common causes of low blood sugar for seniors include not eating enough during meals after taking insulin, waiting to eat meals or skipping meals altogether.

At Firstat Nursing Services, we are trained to care for seniors with diabetes. To help families understand their in home nursing care options, Goodrich outlined the three levels of care.
