LONDON – When Dad Winchurch looks around at his friends, he doesn’t see ages or ailments – he sees amazing people who do everything they can to live their lives to the fullest. It was these same friends who inspired Robert Winchurch to start Mobility Products 4U.

“As we get older, some of us don’t get around as well as we used to,” Robert Winchurch said. “Whether it’s getting up out of bed in the morning or spending the afternoon out and about, I noticed there were a lot more grunts, groans and complaints from the whole bunch of us.”

While Robert Winchurch was looking for mobility products for a friend, he found there was a lot of information out there – but very few places also sold the products mentioned.

“You could find out everything you needed about how an electric bed works, but they’d always send you to a local store or tell you to ask your doctor. How can we do that if we have trouble getting out of bed to begin with!”

With Mobility Products 4U, Robert Winchurch hopes to become the premier home of online mobility purchases – “The Amazon.co.uk of mobility products,” as he puts it.

And with their new website up and running, Mobility Products 4U looks like it’s in a position to do so. Its crisp, clear interface includes large pictures, no-nonsense pricing and extensive information on the possibility of VAT exemption for eligible customers.

But, seniors aren’t the only people who can benefit from Robert Winchurch’s offerings.

“I thought mobility products were just for the old and creaky – but I’ve found that people with a wide variety of mobility problems could benefit from knowing what’s available to them. That’s why we offer everything from paediatric walkers to fireside chairs to fully featured electric wheelchairs.”

Robert Winchurch says it’s all a part of his “No Boundaries” philosophy. “With all the technology we have today, there is no reason why people in any range of disability can’t get out and enjoy everything life has to offer. The rest of us take for granted what it’s like to be able to walk I the park on a beautiful spring day. When these simple pleasures in life make all the difference in the world to someone with limited mobility, why wouldn’t I try to do everything I can to make that happen?”

Diabetes kills more people each year than breast cancer and aids combined – a fascinating, but deeply concerning statistic given the relative ignorance most people have about this disease.

One way organizations are calling attention to this disease is through the use of promotional products. Using promotional giveaway items such as slide charts, magnets, wallet cards, journals and more, businesses and health care agencies are able to make a one-on-one direct appeal and reminder to the recipient without the stigma of ‘preaching’ the message of healthy management of their disease. Studies have shown this to be much more effective, both in costs and results versus mass media advertising such as television or magazine ads. However, promotional merchandise is usually used to supplement the aforementioned.

IASpromotes.com, a leading healthcare and eco-friendly promotional products provider, cites recent examples from two clients as ways in which diabetes education using a promotional item was effective.  Bill Litton, president of the firm explains; “In the case of Johns Hopkins University and the Indian Health Board of Minneapolis, both firms were boosting community awareness of Type-2 diabetes,” the most common, and often manageable (through diet and exercise) form of the disease. “By targeting their at-risk Hispanic communities with promotional decals and diabetes slide chart information respectively, they were able to create greater disease awareness as well as build good-will and corporate brand awareness.”

Litton continues, “coupling a healthcare issue with a branded promotional product, has proven time and time again to generate results. Just look at the pharmaceutical companies and how they spend millions targeting physicians, pharmacies and consumers with clever promotional merchandise.”  Most people are unfamiliar with the differences between Type-1 and Type—2 diabetes. “This is a cause very personal to me as I have the auto-immune Type-1 diabetes, which requires insulin to live and has been referred to as juvenile diabetes.” Though type-1 accounts for approximately 5% of the overall diabetes cases, it too is rising. There is an underserved educational void even within the medical community about this disease, but people need to know what they have, if they are at risk and how to treat their disease of they have it. Failure on any level can have dire results. Litton finishes by stating “I feel fortunate that I am in a position to be able to help businesses, non-profits, organizations and universities succeed while helping enlighten the general population through health care promotional programs.“

As the debate over health care reform continues, one issue we all can agree on is that knowledge is power. Having information, education and awareness are critical in wellness and making personal medical decisions. Properly conceived promotional products campaigns are an integral, but often overlooked component to achieve these objectives.

You might wonder how a businessman, philanthropist, and self-improvement guru has ended up catching the attention of Jay Adams.  It is simply because Jordan Wirsz has “The Heart of a Fighter”, which is the title of the segment in which he will appear on Adams’ Brawl Call this December.

Jordan Wirsz is one man that cannot be kept down.  He has been obsessed with personal-development since he was a child and he has proven himself again and again in business, peak performance coaching, and philanthropy.  Now Wirsz works to help others find success with his company Jordan Wirsz International Inc.

Wirsz believes that even though we all have challenges to overcome, we must put ourselves up to the task.  He says, “Those who settle for mediocrity in their lives, who fear themselves and others, are not accepting the gifts God has given them.”  Wirsz has accepted his gifts and brought them to fruition.

Wirsz has overcome many challenges in order to rise to success.  Peak performance is a must no matter what and Wirsz will discuss with Adams how this is relevant to everyone, including and especially UFC fighters.  “If you are content, you are on your way to misery,” says Wirsz. “One thing is for sure. Life will change, and so will whatever you are content with.”  This applies whether you are a fighter or a housewife.

Tune in to see Jordan Wirsz on Brawl Call this December. Peak performance and success are not only possible, they are necessary if you are going to live an extraordinary life and no person should allow anything to hold them back.

Allergies are miserable, but the treatment options have their drawbacks too. Medications can have irritating side effects and often only give partial relief.  Allergy shots are a more permanent solution, but they also have their problems.  Since allergy shots have to be administered in a doctor’s office for patient safety, they eat up a lot of time.  What’s more, they hurt!

Oral drops come with big advantages:

• Safer than shots. While shots pose a significant risk of anaphylactic reaction, oral allergy drops carry virtually no such risk.
• Great for kids. The pain and risks of allergy shots are not well-suited for kids allergies.  Oral drops work for well for children of all ages—including infants.
• Highly convenient.  Because allergy drops are so safe, they don’t have to be administered in a doctor’s office.  Patients can take their serum in the comfort of their home.
• Fast-working.  The convenience of home-administration allows for frequent dosing.  Since patients can take their serum daily, the healing process speeds up.  Whereas allergy shots can require up to two years to produce results, oral allergy drops typically start to work in just a couple of months.

Allergy doctor, Dr. Stuart Agren, comments, “Allergy drop therapy has been around since the mid-1980s.  It is widely used in Europe and is rapidly gaining traction in America.” It has been endorsed by the World Health Organization and more than 50 scientific studies have confirmed its safety and effectiveness.

These factors have allergy sufferers turning to oral allergy drops.  The drop therapy (known by allergists as sublingual immunotherapy) allows the same healing medication delivered through allergy shots to be taken as oral drops that are absorbed under the tongue.

“I enjoy going to workshops to further my knowledge and to keep me up to date with all aspects of fitness,” added Luria.

A few Team Fitness America consumers decided to share their thoughts and feelings about working with Julia Luria.

“I think that she’s doing a wonderful job, she’s really helping me out in many different ways,” said Kevin, a New Jersey client of Team Fitness America. “She understands my goals and has formulated a workout in training according to those goals and I am seeing results after just a few sessions.”

Other New Jersey clients such as Zaheda included, “I think that she is amazing and I have already dropped a pants size.”

Team Fitness America singles out a fitness specialist to feature each month that has worked hard to help clients reach their fitness goals and embodied the core concepts of what Team Fitness America is all about. The month of October goes to Los Angeles personal trainer, Christian Duran, who has received rave reviews from his clients and has gone above standards in continuing his education while providing excellent customer service to all of his clients. Due to his 26 years of dedication, continuing education, and excellent client reviews, Christian has been handpicked over 600 other certified fitness professionals as “October Personal Trainer Of The Month”.

Christian, who is also in line for personal trainer of the year, is a top-level Los Angeles fitness trainer for

Since the age of 11, when Christian picked up his first weight, he knew that he wanted to be involved within the fitness industry. His original drive and dedication started when he decided that he wanted to be stronger and faster than other children at his school, this later led to a successful personal training career.

Christian spent years learning proper training techniques, proper form, nutrition, and diet as well as both weight loss and toning. He coupled his education with his excellent customer service skills and decided he wanted to help people better their lives through weight loss and personal training.

Holding two certifications from PTA, one in personal training and one in nutrition, Christian has been continuously attaining proven results while training his clients. Christian’s specialties encompass fat burning, weight loss, and target specific training. Mainly working with female clients, he helps them get their eating habits in line with an appropriate nutritional guideline and increase their lean muscle mass without bulking up.

“I love inspiring people and I feel the responsibility to give and help people who need it,” Christian said. “Education is the key to success. I still today strive to educate and listen. You can never be too smart about anything.”

Christian continues to educate himself on the latest training techniques, attend seminars and build his portfolio of satisfied clients.

“We put a strong emphasis at Team Fitness America on education,” said Margret Pajak, founder of Team Fitness America. “We want all of our personal trainers to continue striving to be the best educated within the fitness industry.”

One of Team Fitness America’s Los Angeles clients decided to share her thoughts and feelings about Christian.

“He has helped me get my body back. I lost over 30 pounds in the last three months, joining Team Fitness America has been the best decision that I have made in a really long time,” said client Carmen in Los Angeles.

Working out alone can be boring and difficult to stay on pace without having the support of a friend or family member. Support from somebody that can be there when a personal trainer is not, can help keep a client on track to reach his or her fitness goals. Team Fitness America encourages fitness buddy training by offering their customizable sessions with a certified personal trainer for as low as $19.99 per person.

“A fitness buddy is someone that you know you can count on such as your spouse, sister, brother, cousin, or best friend,” said Margie Pajak, founder of Team Fitness America.

“Working out with a fitness buddy will keep your sessions going on a fast pace that will bring your heart rate up while you burn more calories, then once the personal trainer leaves, you will be able to continue your workouts with the same pace and tempo. When the personal trainer returns he or she will provide you with another great workout while giving you and your fitness buddy things to do when they are not there,” added Pajak.

While most people already are looking for an affordable alternative as opposed to joining the gym or they do not want to endure the usual “large gym” intimidation, clients of Team Fitness America can save money, get in shape, and avoid intimidation by being in the comfort of their own home while working out with a loved one.

Only accepting certifications from some of the best nationally recognized organizations, they take things a step further by giving their clients complete control of their fitness program. Clients have the right to choose their workout times, days, and even the gender of the personal trainer that they are working out with throughout the duration of their fitness program.

Team Fitness America, a division of Fit2Max, LLC and an accredited BBB organization, successfully services 19 metropolitan areas including places like Los Angeles, Orange County, New York, Philadelphia, New Jersey, and many more. In August, Team Fitness America added Atlanta to their servicing list and, in October, they will be announcing three new servicing areas.

“We aim to keep providing America with affordable personal trainers that get results and to keep on helping America one pound at a time,” says Pajak, a WomenCertified business owner.

Meditec, a Utah based medical transcription company, celebrates being in business for 40 years this year. As they continue to expand, the questions remain the same. Society often wonders about which direction health safety is profressing.

Case in point: Patients’ first sign that something is changing may involve lessening of a big (and often totally unnecessary) indignity (and risk). One in four hospitalized patients have a urinary catheter inserted (whether needed or not – it’s mostly for staff convenience). The catheters inserted trigger more than half a million infections of the urinary tract per year, the most common hospital-caused disease. Most patients don’t need them; they are simply a precaution after certain surgeries. And many of them are left in place for much longer than necessary. A national study found half of the hospitals in the test did not even keep track of who had had a catheter inserted. Fewer than one in 10 hospitals do a daily check to see if the catheter is still needed.

Pushing for improved patient safety and quality care issues, Medicare won’t pay hospitals when they commit certain errors. Medicare will start hitting hospitals where it hurts in October, and other insurers are hot on the trail.

Here is the list of errors that Medicare will stop paying for if that service creates an “injury or other sequela.” Providers and coders please note that if you code and bill for any of these complications, your practice won’t get paid.

• Urinary tract infections from catheters
• Bloodstream infections (septicemia) from catheters
• Falls
• Bed sores or pressure ulcers (decubitus ulcers)
• Objects left within a patient’s body during surgery
• Blood incompatibility, (giving an incorrect blood type, e.g., lab error)
• Infection after heart surgery (mediastinitis)
• Air embolism (air in a blood vessel-typically from an injection or IV)

Those facts have the hospitals exploring innovative ways to improve medical transcription and prevent injury and infection. That’s a good thing.

Attempts are actually underway to create a medFICO score by collecting patient medical billing data from hospital systems with a combined $100 billion in annual net revenue. The scores would reflect a history of on-time payments (and of course, the payments not made on time or at all). The company claims that the only purpose is to determine after a visit or surgery if the patient can pay the bill.

The medFICO score are being designed with the industry giant Fair Isaac Corp., and could debut as early as this summer.

Consumer advocacy groups fear that the medFICO scores will be checked before patients are treated, so that those with low scores could either not receive care at all or would receive lower quality care. Spokesman for the scoring effort claim that the patient’s score will not be checked until after the patient is discharged and the bill already exists.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, reporters to the scoring agencies cannot indicate what the services were for. That way, allegedly a person looking at the information would not be able to guess what the treatment was for.

Hospitals and other caregivers already tap into regular credit scores (often without the patient’s permission), but those are not necessarily a good indication of whether a person will pay a medical bill. Such credit scores are based on voluntary purchases whereas health care debt is largely involuntary.

Meditec can be contacted for more information by reaching them online at meditec.com or by calling 801-771-1900.

Each month, Team Fitness America picks a fitness specialist as their featured personal trainer of the month out of hundreds of personal trainers. This featured spotlight goes to a personal trainer initially nominated by their fitness director and followed up by excellent client reviews. The month of September goes to Los Angeles personal trainer, Jessica Moon, who has received rave reviews from her clients.

Jessica Moon, who became a personal trainer after recovering from major back surgery, is a commonly requested Los Angeles personal trainer for Team Fitness America. Due to her outstanding client reviews and continued success with helping clients reach their fitness goals, Team Fitness America views Jessica Moon as a top-notch personal trainer and fitness specialist.

Holding two certifications from ACE, Jessica Moon has been personal training clients for five years focusing on both physical fitness and weight management.

“I became a personal trainer after recovering from major back surgery, and with the help of my own personal trainer, I was able to regain my mobility and strength,” said Moon.

“In some areas, I was able to surpass my previous fitness level which taught me through my own experience that being physically fit and healthy should be priorities in everyone’s life,” added Moon.

A few Team Fitness America clients decided to share their thoughts and feelings about Jessica Moon.

“She has been excellent, I went through several personal trainers until I found her,” said Rebecca, a Los Angeles client of Team Fitness America. “She knows how to work with you, knows your capabilities, and tries to push you to maximize your workout.”

Other clients such as Kathleen included, “She is great, she trains myself and my husband and we have a toddler who is here at the same time so we were a little worried about that. She is great with our daughter, distracting her while she continues to have us work out.”

“She is a friend, supper supportive, and also pushes us to go beyond the limit which is wonderful,” added Kathleen.

Team Fitness America has a wide variety of affordable personal trainers that are spectacular at achieving results, but only one fitness specialist per month will be chosen as The Personal Trainer Of The Month.

“Clients looking for a great Los Angeles personal trainer can call in and request a fitness specialist just like Jessica,” said Margaret Pajak, Team Fitness America and Fit2Max, LLC founder.

Team Fitness America continues the growth of their Area Developers, also called Territorial Sales Managers, through their new web based seminars. These seminars, which are set to be held twice per month, have the intent to fully inform potential candidates of the one-of-a-kind affordable services and the moral principles that Team Fitness America stands by on a daily basis.

In July, Team Fitness America announced their commitment to assist the rough and troubled job market by creating a position that seasoned sales professionals could benefit from while adding a higher level of direct customer service for their clientele. This position, which is entitled Area Developer, suits an individual that is looking to manage a sales team throughout a selected territory.

Team Fitness America has quickly grown to service 18 metropolitan areas with certified in home personal trainers that provide clients with an affordable alternative as opposed to going to the gym. On a daily basis, clients find themselves being provided with the personal trainer that they have been searching for to reach their fitness goals quickly and effectively.

“One of the great things about the development of our Area Developers is that there are no buy-ins or franchise costs,” said Margaret Pajak, founder and president Fit2Max’s Team Fitness America.

“Our Area Developers position is a company based position with a great growth potential, phenomenal compensation plan, and an awesome training for sure success,” adds Pajak.

The newly established web based seminars are geared to cover both compensation plans and the duties of an Area Developer as a territory grows. Led by Team Fitness America’s top producer and motivational speaker, Dave Giordano, these seminars are only 20 minutes long to maintain interest while providing necessary information.

“This is an outside position created for seasoned sales professionals by seasoned sales professionals,” said Pajak.

Team Fitness America will hold their first WebEx seminar on August 26 and any attendee that is interested can sign up for attendance through Team Fitness America’s website by visiting the jobs section.

Crete, IL ( PressReleaseRoom ) August 07, 2009 – Just months away from the fall flu season, we are learning that the H1N1 virus, also known as the Swine Flu, is showing signs of strength. It is estimated that billions of people worldwide will be affected by the virus, but the ever changing strain has eluded scientists attempting to pinpoint a vaccine that will protect the masses from the ever changing virus.

One company, Deuce Adam, suggests that the key to beating the virus is to be in top immune health. David McGowan of Deuce Adam stated, ?A balanced immune system is the key. If your immune system is overactive you develop autoimmune disorders such as arthritis, allergies, lupus, MS and diabetes. If your immune system is underactive, your body can?t fight off colds and flu. We feel that the key to beating this virus is to have an immune system that is neither over or underactive. Optimal immune health was the key for so many in beating this virus this past spring and it will be the key for the billions facing infection this fall.?

Deuce Adam, which offers a variety of nutritional supplements that promote immune health, offers various forms of their main immune health product including powders, capsules and chewables in various flavors. Their product holds over 100 international patents.

According to David McGowan, ?Your immune system is the key to good health. If your immune system is working properly you can protect your body against toxins, pollutants, viruses, disease and bacteria. Many of us are so busy in our day to day lives that we fail to eat properly or unknowingly fill our bodies with chemicals through consumption of foods with pesticides and other substance on them and contact with cleaners and other pollutants. Usually our bodies get rid of these toxins, but if you are unable to optimize your immune system or if your body is overwhelmed fighting toxins and illnesses it cannot work optimally to fight off additional viruses such as H1N1.?

It is recommended that those who are looking to naturally fight strains of H1N1 should begin working on strengthening their immune system at least a month before the strain begins to start spreading during the fall and winter flu season. David McGowan stated, ?The sooner you begin a nutritional supplement the more likely your body will be able to fight off illness, cold, flu and other attacks against your immune system.

Dallas, TX ( PressReleaseRoom ) August 07, 2009  – PuffyEyes.org, a resource for consumers, just completed a successful website launch.

One popular part of the website is the article on allergies and puffy eyes. This article uncovers many of the most common allergies that lead to puffy eyes. From broccoli allergies to weather allergies, the causes of puffy eyes are numerous.

Perhaps the most interesting feature of PuffyEyes.org is the information on home remedies for puffy eyes . These natural remedies include placing cucumbers on your eyes, using cold, wet tea bags on the affected area, and covering up puffy eyes with makeup. Readers can also learn of the benefits and drawbacks of each of these home remedies for puffy eyes.

But while all of this information is certainly interesting, the main purpose of PuffyEyes.org is to help consumers choose the best puffy eyes treatment for their needs. That’s why their experts review the top products on the market based on multiple criteria.

“We believe an educated consumer is a satisfied consumer,” said Nealy. “The more information we can provide to our visitors, the likelier it is that they’ll choose a puffy eyes treatment they’re happy with.”

Based on the tests, RevitaLume is the top performing puffy eyes treatment in its class. RevitaLume works to strengthen the delicate tissue around the eyes to help prevent puffy eyes from ever coming back.

PuffyEyes.org is always adding new content, so it’s important that you check back regularly to keep updated with the latest information.

SAN DIEGO, CA ( PressReleaseRoom ) July 22nd, 2009 – Home Testing kits are probably one of the most important breakthroughs in the field of medical technology.  Through the use of testing products, we can safely test ourselves for whatever ailments or conditions bothering us without leaving the comfort of our home.  And since the field of medical technology is a constantly changing field, we can expect better instant testing kits and laboratory based home testing services to be available for our use in the future.

With this regard, TestCountry.com has recently announced new additions to their home testing kits online store.  These new products offer new kinds of home testing methods that were not available in the market until very recently.  These new products are:

•    MYCOCIDE Nail Fungus Test Kit.  Few of us are aware of it, but the condition of our fingernails and toenails are strong indicators of our general health.  However, not even a doctor can tell specifically what is wrong with us until he or she has tested our nails.  Testing our nails, on the other hand, can be an embarrassing experience if they have become discolored and generating an ugly smell.

The MYCOCIDE Nail Fungus Test Kit spares us the expense and the embarrassment of having to visit a laboratory and getting our nails tested personally.  Made by Woodward Industries, the MYCOCIDE Nail Fungus Test Kit allows us to collect our own nail samples and send it off to an accredited laboratory.

•    D+caf Test Strips.  Did you know that in many coffee shops, the decaf coffee that they serve still contains around 10 to 15 mg of caffeine per 6 oz. serving?  Did you also know that tea can also contain high levels of caffeine?

If you need to stay away from caffeine for medical reasons, D+caf Test Strips can help you avoid caffeine.  You can test your decaf drink for caffeine levels using the D+caf Test Strips before actually drinking it.

•    PurTest Complete Home Water Analysis Testing Kit.  It is hard to know what is in your water just by looking at it.  Your water could have lead, bacteria or pesticides in it.  It could also have metals mixed into it, or any other chemicals that make it unsafe to drink.  However, most water testing kits out there only test for one thing, but not for the other.

With the PurTest Complete Home Water Analysis Testing Kit, you can test your water for various contaminants without having to use different testing kits for different contaminants.  It is a one-test-fits-all water analysis testing kit that is comprehensive and easy to use right at home.

•    EldonCard Instant Blood Type Test Kit.  Being aware of your own blood type as well as that of your family members can help you save lives.  However, a lot of people out there do not know what their own blood type is because they think they need to go through a laboratory test to find out.

With the EldonCard Instant Blood Type Test Kit, you have no need to show up at a medical laboratory just to get your blood type testing done.  You can have your blood type information in just a few short minutes without leaving the confines of your home.

You are probably all too familiar with the outward manifestations if you have allergies – itchy eyes, a runny or congested nose, eczema, hives, asthma and more. But what you may not be familiar with is what is happening inside your body. It is, in fact, an all-out war. Arizona based Allergist clinic is here to help.

This war is basically your white blood cells vs antigens, including dusts, molds, and pollens. If you’re not allergy-prone, your body sees these antigens for what they are – harmless elements drifting through the air. If you have allergies, however, your body mistakenly perceives them as foreign invaders. Your white blood cells fight back by releasing bursts of chemicals. They are intended to defend the body, but the strategy backfires. The chemicals trigger the allergy symptoms that make you miserable.

With some outside help, however, you can change the course of the battle and overcome allergies. One of the most effective treatments is known as desensitization. With desensitization, you can actually re-train your body to stop overreacting in ways that trigger allergies, kids allergies and other allergy symptoms.

Allergy Doctor, Dr. Stuart Agren, director of the Family Allergy Clinic in Mesa, Arizona, has found that desensitization is superior to over-the-counter medications.

This is done by introducing your body to extracts of the antigens to which it is allergic. These extracts are mixed into a saline solution and can be administered through shots or as under-the-tongue drops. Over time, your physician will increase the amount of the antigens in the serum so that your body becomes more and more familiar with them. Ultimately, your body will make peace with those antigens, and your symptoms will dissipate.

“A lot of people use allergy medications for a quick-fix, but desensitization is really the key if you want to overcome allergies for good,” said Dr. Agren.

Dr. Agren has treated thousands of allergy-sufferers through desensitization using under-the-tongue allergy drops that patients can take in the comfort of home. Not only are the drops convenient, they also work quickly; the vast majority of patients experience symptom relief in several weeks.

According to Dr. Agren, desensitization can have a life-changing effect for many people.

“A lot of the new patients who come to my office have forgotten how normal people live,” said Dr. Agren. “Whether our clients prefer non-allergy shot based treatment or our allergy desensitization program, they often tell me that they’re finally getting back the quality of life they had given up on.”

Meditec, a Utah based Medical Transcription company, reflects on growing opportunities in health care. On February 16, 2006 the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act was finalized, and enacted. This law is designed to establish national standards for all health care transactions, and to ensure the security and privacy of all health related information. The motivation behind this law is to improve the performance, and efficiency of our health care system. This type of reform has created a need for qualified individuals who can utilize the tools of this legislation, and assure full compliance, and maximum reimbursement. It would therefore be a prudent move for health care facilities to employ such individuals in order to avoid mistakes that could have dire consequences.

The proliferation of medical knowledge following World War II brought about an explosion of diagnostic, and treatment procedures. As a result, there became a need to organize, and standardize all these developing technologies. Here is where the foundations of medical coding were born. Medical coding met these challenges, and allowed for a more uniform way of communicating health information under a common language. By January 1979, standardized definitions, and codes were adopted, and used by health care providers, and insurance companies. Since improvements and refinements of medical procedures are constantly being developed, codes must be added and updated to reflect these changes. Today, the number of medical and surgical procedures have become enormous, so too have the codes to describe them. These overwhelming numbers of codes and protocols have made outsourcing medical billing the standard.

Medical Billing and related occupations continue to be the fastest growing opportunities in health care. Insurance institutions and government agencies are investing huge resources to control claims’ fraud, abuse, and establish some degree of reimbursement parity. As a result, more insurance companies, and health care facilities are looking to medical billing experts for help. These companies and practices are looking for experienced and educated individuals; the legal consequences of incorrect billing could be devastating. There is a movement in the industry to make medical billers responsible for inaccuracies, much they way accountants are for tax returns.

At present, there are no standards for educational requirements for medical billers and coders. However, more employers are looking for some formal training at an accredited career training institution. These schools range in training time from six months to two years. There is a move for certification, and several organizations are sponsoring certification examinations in medical coding and billing. Medical billers and coders earn as much as $8 to $10 per hour in the beginning, and could potentially realize $30 to $40 per hours with experience and additional responsibilities.

Today, evolutions in the health care industry are happening at a very high pace. It is only with the assistance of sophisticated computer programs, and standardized coding procedures that medical coders are now able to describe and characterize the tremendous number and various kinds of medical and surgical procedures. These realities coupled with government regulations, and health insurance guidelines have contributed to the strong demand for experienced medical coders and billers.

Not only does it facilitate the smooth and swift transfer of a patient from a stretcher to a bed but it also facilitates the patient’s bathing activity, changing bedding, and it also avoids pressure on any existing bed sores.

To use, one panel is gently placed under the patient’s shoulder and the other is slipped under his buttocks. Holding both grab handles and with one swift gesture, the nurse then horizontally pulls and places the patient onto the other support, without any pressure on the nurse’s back.

The Slide System can either be thermo-sterilized (134°C; 273°F) or immersed in a special disinfecting solution, thus maintaining a nosocomial (staphylococcus) infection-free environment for the patient. It is quick to assemble and easy to use. The material is suitable for any person’s morphology or weight. Most of all, it is comfortable for both the patient and the staff.
