Dublin, Dec. 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Drug Adherence Enhancement Market: Devices and Applications, 2018-2030" report has been added to *ResearchAndMarkets.com's* offering.

*Drug Adherence Enhancement Market: Devices and Applications, 2018-2030* features an extensive study of the current landscape and future outlook of the growing market for smart medication adherence devices that are either already commercialized or under development. This burgeoning field presently offers a lot of opportunities to innovation-driven start-ups and investors.

Poor adherence to prescribed medications is a growing concern in the healthcare industry and is believed to be associated with negative health outcomes, inflated medical expenses, loss in productivity and, in certain cases, proves fatal as well. It has been estimated that, of the 4 billion annual prescriptions filled by the retailers in the US, approximately 50% are not taken by patients in accordance to physicians' instructions.

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), failure to comply to prescribed treatment regimens has been identified as the cause of 125,000 premature deaths, up to 69% of all rehospitalizations, and results in approximately USD 100-300 billion worth of avoidable annual healthcare spending. Further, the US pharmaceutical industry alone is estimated to suffer a loss of approximately USD 188 billion per year, due to low adherence to prescribed medications.

Lack of compliance with therapy is particularly prevalent among elderly patients suffering from chronic clinical conditions, such as cardiovascular disorders, metabolic disorders (e.g., diabetes), neurological and central nervous system related disorders (e.g., multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease) and respiratory disorders (e.g., asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). It is estimated that overall cost of treatment for non-adherent patients is at least twice as high as patients who adhere to recommended therapy regimens.

Studies have demonstrated that every one percent improvement in medication adherence can help the US healthcare industry save up to USD 2 billion, resulting in an increase in pharmaceutical revenues by ~USD 4 billion. As a result, several strategies have been/are being developed by pharmaceutical developers and healthcare providers to improve medication adherence. Such initiatives have been strengthened owing to the availability of connected devices and other digital solutions, which allow patients/healthcare providers to closely monitor and improve drug adherence.*Example Highlights:*

1. Currently, over 60 smart drug delivery devices are either commercially available or are under development for improving adherence to medication. More than 50% of these devices are smart inhalers or smart injectors. Examples of smart inhalers and smart injectors include (in alphabetical order, no selection criteria) 3M Intelligent Control Inhaler (3M), BETACONNECT (Medicom Innovation Partner), eMDI (H&T Presspart), Flexi-Q eMU-P and Flexi-Q eMU-C (Elcam Drug Delivery Device), GoCap (Common Sensing), Propeller (Propeller Health), SMARTTURBO, SMARTTOUCH and SMARTTOUCH AV (Adherium), and SmartPilot and YpsoMate Smart (Ypsomed).
2. In addition, there are close to 75 smart accessory devices that are either commercially available or are under development. Of these, over 40% are smart medication dispensers. Noteworthy examples of such products include (in alphabetical order, no selection criteria) Evondos E300 (Evondos), HERO (HERO Health), Maya and Jon (MedMinder Systems), MedaCube (PharmaAdva) and Philips Medido (Philips), Pillo (Pillo Health) and SIMPLEMED+ (Vaica).
3. Around 70% of the companies that are involved in the development of smart drug delivery systems and smart accessory systems are small-sized players/start-ups (having less than 50 employees). Examples of such companies include (in alphabetical order, no selection criteria) Aerobit Health, Airbrio, Arthur Health, Cognita Labs, CuePath Innovation, DayaMed, etectRx, MedMinder Systems, PharmRight, Popit, Portal Instruments, and Wealth Taxi.
4. Over 50 compliance packaging systems are available to promote medication adherence among patients suffering from chronic clinical conditions; these include blister packs, pouches and dose cups. Companies engaged in the development of such products include (in alphabetical order, no selection criteria) Dispill-USA (Dispill Multi-dose Packaging), Keystone Folding Box (Ecoslide-RX, Key-Pak and Key-Pak Plus), Omnicell (Opti-Pak and SureMed), Parata Systems (Parata PASS Pack) and TCGRx (AdherePac and AdhereCard)
5. Many standalone mobile applications are also available for improving compliance to prescribed therapeutic regimens. As of July 2018, over 200 such mobile applications, having user ratings of more than four, were available on Google Play Store. It is worth mentioning that more than 70% smart drug delivery and accessory devices that we came across have a supporting mobile application.
6. Close to 180 partnerships have been inked between various stakeholders within the industry over the last few years; of these, over 100 collaborations were signed since 2016. Most of the deals that we came across were product development agreements (53%), signed between players to include new features in their products or advance their development programs. Examples of recently established deals include collaborations between Ypsomed and JDRF (August 2018), Adherium and Vitalus Health (August 2018), Amiko Digital Health and Luz Sade (July 2018), Becton Dickinson and Helmer Scientific (June 2018), Common Sensing and Flex (May 2018), and Compliance Meds Technologies and Oracle Health Sciences (April 2018),
7. Since 2001, nearly USD 2.5 billion has been invested in companies operating in the field of medication adherence. Interestingly, close to half of the total amount (USD 1.1 billion) was raised between 2015 and August 2018, indicating the rising interest of strategic investors in this domain. Examples of players that have managed to secure capital investments in multiple rounds include Proteus Digital Health, NantHealth, Tandem Diabetes Care, Propeller Health and Cellnovo.
8. The drug adherence market is expected to grow at an annualized rate of more than 15.4% between 2018 and 2030. It is important to highlight that North America (primarily the US) and Europe currently capture the largest share of the overall market. This is followed by Asia-Pacific and the rest of the world. As the industry matures, we expect the market in Asia-Pacific to grow owing to the sizable user base in the region.

Ethiopia aims to achieve universal health coverage (UHC) through primary health care (PHC). This requires a rapid increase in domestic spending on health. Building on almost two decades of effective technical assistance, the new Abt Associates-led USAID Health Financing Improvement Program will support this effort.

ROCKVILLE, Md. (PRWEB) December 11, 2018

Having met its Millennium Development Goals for reducing under-5 mortality ahead of schedule, Ethiopia is steadily moving toward better health outcomes. Per capita health spending has been growing consistently, and the share of domestic financing, including government spending on health, has increased. However, as the economy and public sector’s capacity grow, donor funding is gradually decreasing, and the health sector needs to prepare for it. Ethiopia aims to achieve universal health coverage (UHC) through primary health care (PHC). This requires a rapid increase in domestic spending on health. Building on almost two decades of effective technical assistance, the new Abt Associates-led USAID Health Financing Improvement Program will support this effort.

Abt was recently awarded the USAID Health Financing Improvement Program, a 5-year, $39.6 million project, aimed at supporting the government of Ethiopia (GOE) to further strengthen and institutionalize health financing reforms and initiatives to provide accessible, high-quality PHC services for all Ethiopian citizens with reduced financial barriers. The Program consortium includes core partners Breakthrough International Consultants, Dimagi, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, Results for Development and resource partner Harvard School of Public Health. The program builds on previous investments in health care financing reform by USAID and GOE. Abt and its partners will work with GOE to:

-Increase domestic resource mobilization for the enhanced provision of quality PHC services;
-Streamline the pooling of risk-sharing/insurance mechanisms for wider access to PHC services with reduced financial barriers;
-Facilitate the strategic purchasing of health services from public and private health providers; and
-Improve governance, management and evidence-generation for health financing reforms and health facilities.

By the end of the Program in 2023, Ethiopia’s health sector is anticipated to have more resources available for primary health care services. The share of domestic financing of health care services will increase from 2014’s 64 percent to 70 percent. More people will have insurance coverage, including the poorest. Insurance programs will be made sustainable by connecting the public and the private sectors and promoting improved quality. GOE will employ evidence-based practices that engage the full spectrum of health-sector partners. Abt and its partners will work on purposefully and systematically building local capacity to institutionalize and transition Program responsibilities to these institutions for sustainable and continuous implementation.

“We’re proud of the work we’ve done with the Ethiopian government to successfully test and scale up community-based health insurance through our previous work conducted under the USAID bilateral Health Sector Financing Reform and the global Health Finance and Governance projects,” said Catherine Thompson, Regional Managing Director with Abt Associates. “We’re excited to take this next step toward Universal Health Coverage with our partners in the government and private sector.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Government numbers show health insurance sign-ups for the Affordable Care Act are down with just a few days left to enroll. That's happening even though premiums are stable, consumers have more choice and millions of uninsured people can still get financial help. The sign-up deadline is this Saturday in most states, for coverage beginning Jan. 1. Barring a sign-up surge, the nation's uninsured rate could edge up after a yearslong coverage expansion that has seen about 20 million people get health insurance. A report Wednesday from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services shows nearly 20 percent fewer new customers signed up than at about the same time last year. New customers drive the growth of HealthCare. Reported by SeattlePI.com 4 hours ago.

SEATTLE, Dec. 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- While human health insurance models – each with its own set of problems – are debated all over the world, medical insurance for pets is currently avoiding such criticism and can continue to do so with input from veterinarians.Human medical insurance companies often manage care and negotiate pricing, which dictates treatment options and the choice of doctors for patients. While pet insurance in North America originated in the 80s, the products offered were low-quality and included fee schedules, exclusions on hereditary and congenital conditions, and penalties when pets were “unlucky” and needed to use the insurance.

Veterinarians overwhelmingly saw the inherent flaws in these products and avoided recommending them to their clients. With veterinarians in control, and through their trustworthy influence, these substandard products ultimately failed to thrive.

Today, there are better options.  Trupanion (Nasdaq: TRUP), a leader in medical insurance for pets throughout the U.S. and Canada, provides high-quality coverage designed specifically to enhance the relationship between a loving, responsible pet owner and their trusted family veterinarian.

It’s important to distinguish between low-quality pet insurance of the past and high-quality medical insurance for pets available today.

For pets covered by a Trupanion policy, the fixed percentage from the actual eligible invoice is paid regardless of what the veterinarian charges. Through Trupanion’s patented software, payout is at the time of service and paid directly into a hospital’s bank account. A Trupanion policy has no annual or lifetime payout limits or fee schedules, and pet owners can choose any veterinarian in the U.S. and Canada.

The Trupanion policy is designed to specifically not interfere with a pets’ treatment or the recommended course of veterinary care.  For pets covered with a Trupanion policy, the member can choose any veterinarian in North America and there are no payout limits or fee schedules. The policy is for the life of the pet, so while rates will reflect the cost of veterinary care, coverage remains consistent for its members.

Dr. Steve Weinrauch, BVMS, MRCVS and chief product officer for Trupanion believes this paradigm shift will continue, with experienced veterinarians and veterinary professionals guiding the product development both internally and on the front lines in practice.

“Veterinary input is a big part of the solution,” said Weinrauch. “We are working with thousands and thousands of practices to put our proprietary software into their hospitals and have a direct feedback loop with them. We want to hear everybody’s voice to solve today’s problems while avoiding tomorrow’s missteps.”

As an experienced veterinarian, Weinrauch, who has practiced in hospitals in the U.S. and the U.K., understands why some colleagues fear pet medical insurance companies will attempt to manage care and negotiate fees. Veterinarians don’t want to be told how to practice medicine or what to charge for their services. And pet owners do not want to be forced into insurance-approved “in-network” veterinary hospitals. But, rather than avoiding medical insurance for pets all together, which would decrease access to care, Dr. Weinrauch urges veterinary professionals to get involved so that they are informed and have a voice.

“Veterinarians know medicine. Trupanion is there to help responsible, loving pet owners budget for the unexpected. In doing so we enable veterinary professionals to do what they are uniquely trained and qualified to do,” said Weinrauch.

Terms and conditions apply. Please see the full policy for details.

TransUnion Healthcare findings reveal that hospitals may be leaving millions on the table when their revenue cycle isn’t optimized

CHICAGO, Dec. 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A TransUnion Healthcare (NYSE: TRU) analysis found that 30% of self-pay accounts – those patients without health insurance or those that have a patient balance after insurance – will generate more than 80% of the self pay revenue collected by hospitals. TransUnion released this information as part of a campaign to highlight the importance of healthcare insurance discovery.The findings are significant because the number of patients without health insurance increased to more than 12% at the end of 2017. Furthermore, Patient Balances after Insurance (PBAI) have been steadily rising – increasing from 8% of the total bill responsibility in Q1 2012 to 12.2% in Q1 2017.

Following years of decline since the Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010,^1 the uninsured rate grew from 10.9% in Q4 2016 to 12.2% in Q4 2017. As a result, hospitals are taking a much closer look at cost control measures; however, they still may be missing the most important part of the picture: an optimized revenue cycle which ensures earned revenue becomes paid revenue.

This presents a clear opportunity for hospitals to obtain revenue from accounts that are most likely to be paid in full. More opportunities may exist on such accounts as between one and five percent of self-pay accounts that are written off as bad debt actually have billable insurance coverage.

“Re-evaluating a hospital’s current approach can be a challenge for revenue cycle leaders, but it can result in a great reward by maximizing the healthcare providers’ overall return,” said Dave Wojczynski, president of TransUnion Healthcare. “Determining which patients or accounts may present the best opportunities for payment is just one way a healthcare provider can increase their chances of maximizing reimbursements for services rendered.”

While some hospitals are improving their profitability via cost cutting, new research also shows that optimizing revenue cycle procedures may be of even greater benefit. In 2018, cutting costs was the highest priority for 63% of hospital C-suite executives, according to a Premier survey. Yet, a recent Advisory Board study indicated that the typical 350-bed hospital may be leaving $22 million on the table by focusing on cutting costs over optimizing their revenue cycle.^2

“It’s important for hospitals to have systems in place that can holistically address both profitability and revenue leakage,” added Wojcyznski.

TransUnion Healthcare’s Revenue Protection^SM solutions, including its Insurance Discovery solution, help hospitals prevent revenue leakage by engaging patients early, helping to ensure earned revenue gets paid and by optimizing their collection strategies. The company works with more than 1,800 hospitals and health systems and has protected over $4.4 billion in net revenue to date for its entire client base.

Dublin, Dec. 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Pediatric Vaccine Market, Global Forecast Infants Vaccinated, Vaccines Administered, Immunization, By Disease (Influenza, MMR, Pneumonia, Meningitis, Hepatitis, Tap, Hib, Polio, etc) & Companies" report has been added to *ResearchAndMarkets.com's* offering.Pediatric Vaccine Market is projected to exceed US$ 48 Billion by the year 2024

Increasing government and non-government funding for the development of new vaccines, along with raising awareness about the benefits of vaccination, is certainly expected to positively drive the market growth in the coming years. In order to cut the healthcare expenses, governments have been making continuous efforts to reduce the cost of patient immunization through various vaccination programs funded by government or non-government health authorities. For example; several countries have included Children Vaccination Programs, which offers vaccines to children who lack health insurance or one who cannot afford the cost of vaccination.

Growing prevalence of chronic diseases is another major market driver, driving the market of infant (pediatric) vaccines. The immune system is not fully developed in infants, hence they are at a higher risk of contracting severe diseases and so, vaccination plays a significant role in their prevention.According to WHO; effective immunization activities have had a major impact on reducing measles deaths. It is found that measles vaccination prevented an estimated 20.4 million deaths across the globe. Global measles deaths have decreased by 84% from an estimated 550,100 in 2000 to 89,780 in 2016.

*Nearly 650 Million Vaccines Doses will be administered in Pediatrics (Infants) by the year 2024*

It is estimated that by the year 2024, the doses of vaccines administered will reach nearly 650 Million. The number of vaccine doses is expected to grow considerably during the forecast period due to growing awareness among the parents about the benefits of vaccines and also the developing countries around the world that now have included a number of vaccines to their national immunization programme as per WHO recommendations, which indeed will drive the pediatric vaccine market in recent years.

DC-based telecommunications company celebrates recognition for creating a positive, welcoming company culture with 2018 Best in Biz Awards win.

Arlington, Virginia (PRWEB) December 13, 2018

Allied Telecom Group has been named a silver winner for “Best Place to Work” in Best in Biz Awards, the only independent business awards program judged each year by prominent editors and reporters from top-tier publications in North America.

Allied’s nomination was centered around recent enhancements to the company’s culture and benefits, often leveraging technology to facilitate new programs. In the past year, Allied launched a peer recognition tool that allows employees to send electronic “micro-bonuses” to one another, encouraging public recognition for great work, as well as an employee engagement tool that displays a company channel on screens throughout the office, and a performance management tool that automates and streamlines Allied’s employee review process. Additionally, Allied added several benefits to support employees’ health and wellness – including an HSA option with an employer contribution toward health insurance premiums. Aiming to compensate in the top quadrant of its industry, Allied also embarked upon an extensive salary benchmarking process in 2017, ensuring employees are compensated competitively relative to industry peers.

Other company culture achievements highlighted in Allied’s Best in Biz nomination include a fully funded in-office Weight Watchers program to support employees seeking a healthier lifestyle. During the first twelve weeks of the program, participants collectively lost 268 pounds! Allied also initiated an annual “team appreciation” event in December, encouraging employees to publicly thank team members who supported them throughout the year.

Each year, Best in Biz Awards’ entrants span the spectrum, from some of the most recognizable global brands to the most innovative local start-ups. The 8th annual program proved to be a particularly tough competition, garnering close to 700 entries from an impressive array of public and private companies of all sizes and from a variety of geographic regions and industries in the U.S. and Canada.

“It’s so rewarding to see the efforts made by our leadership team and Human Resources department to improve Allied’s company culture recognized with a Silver award from Best in Biz Awards,” said Ashley Laporte, Allied’s Director of Human Resources. “Our people are our greatest asset, and we’ve worked hard to create benefits and implement programs that attract the top talent in the industry and to build a culture that keeps our team members happy and thriving at work.”

Since 2011, winners in Best in Biz Awards have been determined based on scoring from independent judging panels deliberately composed each year of prominent editors and reporters from some of the most respected newspapers, TV outlets, and business, consumer, technology and trade publications in North America. Structured in this unique way, Best in Biz Awards is able to best leverage its distinguished judges’ unparalleled expertise, experience and objectivity to determine award winners from among the hundreds of entries. The 2018 judging panel included, among others, writers from Associated Press, Consumer Affairs, eWeek, Forbes, New York Post, New York Times, and Wired.

MIAMI, FL, Dec. 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Novus Acquisition and Development, Corp. (OTC Markets: NDEV), through its wholly owned subsidiary WCIG Insurance Services, Inc., is a diversified insurance entity in health, liability, annuity and accident, and, the nation’s first carrier/aggregator offering a cannabis health plan, today announced its plans to file as an Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) in the State of California.Novus Cannabis MedPlan had a positive initial teleconference with the California Department of Managed Health Care (CDMH) regarding filing its Cannabis MedPlan as a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO). Additional follow up reviews and evaluations by CDMH beginning as early as January 2019.

Novus as an HMO will expand its breadth as health insurance carrier through its developed network of provider(s) such as:

·      Physicians (for example, family doctors that write cannabis recommendations),

·      Specialists (for example, oncologists and ophthalmologists that recommend cannabis) and,

·      Med facilities (for example, clinics and cannabis dispensaries/cultivators)

Novus Cannabis MedPlan will initiate as an HMO where it will agree to pay cannabis providers specific levels of compensation for a range of services they provide to its patient/members commencing in the State of California. In return for a monthly fee, or premium, patient/members are granted access to providers inside Novus’ cannabis network at no additional cost.

The value add of this premium structure is three-fold:

·      *Patients*: Reduce healthcare costs with likely reimbursement of cannabis meds and services for patient/members.

·      *Providers*: As an HMO cannabis network providers benefits by supplying them with more patients. 

·      *Employers*: Growing interest in Novus Cannabis MedPlan by many Professional Employment Organizations that want to integrate THC and CBD Plans for their client base in an HMO format. 

Novus’ Chief Executive Officer Frank Labrozzi, stated, "This is an unprecedented opportunity for Novus and for the cannabis industry to be permitted by the CDMH to file as an HMO that includes cannabis as a benefits package. Since Novus announced it would begin its business model in an ever-evolving cannabis healthcare landscape, we believe we are seizing an opportunity by disrupting the old healthcare model that pits insurers against providers and instead of working directly with them to offer complete integrated care experience. Novus Cannabis MedPlan is the next generation of healthcare that will do away with the annoyance that many of us have experienced in getting traditional and cannabis related healthcare services.”

As progress is made Novus will keep shareholders updated of its filing as it transpires.   

*About Novus*

Novus Acquisition & Development Corp. (NDEV), through its subsidiary WCIG Insurance, provides health insurance and related insurance solutions within the wellness and medical marijuana industries in states where legal programs exist. Novus has developed its infrastructure within many lines of the insurance business such as, health, property & casualty, life, accident and fixed annuities.

Novus medical cannabis benefits package will work as outside developers and will not cultivate, handle, transport grow, extract, dispense, put up for sale, put on the market, vend, deliver, supply, circulate, or trade cannabis or any substances that violate the United States law or the Controlled Substances Act, nor does it intend to do so in the future and will continue to follow state and federal laws.

All information provided on these press releases or any information contained on or in any product label or packaging is for informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for advice from your physician or other health care professional. Once a push notification is competed the transaction is solely between the state-licensed dispensary and the registered patient.

The state laws are in conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act. The current administration has effectively stated that it is not an efficient use of resources to direct federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute those lawfully abiding by state designated laws, allowing the use and distribution of medical marijuana. However, there is no guarantee that the current administration, nor any future administration, will not change this policy and decide to enforce the federal laws strongly. Any such change in the federal government's enforcement of current federal laws could cause significant financial changes to Novus Medical Group. While we do not intend to harvest, distribute or sell cannabis or cannabis related products, we may be harmed by a change in enforcement by federal or state governments.
