Gain a better understanding of quality health care and improved patient outcomes based on the quality of care. Health care is quickly becoming a commodity. The increased focus on quality by CMS and other payer sources has driven the need to create effective strategies to control costs. One such strategy is reducing preventable readmissions. Hospitals are keenly aware of the cost of readmissions, both in penalties from CMS and in their reputation as centers for quality and improved patient outcomes. The purpose of this information is to equip the user with the tools to identify those patients at risk, to intervene when necessary, to disseminate to their staff, and to ensure that lasting change will occur. This information is an intermediate level course designed for mid to upper-level hospital administrators. This course is ideal for the hands-on manager to assess and implement a hospital-wide program aimed at reducing the number of readmissions.

Western blotting uses antibodies to identify individual proteins within a cell or tissue lysate. It is an important life sciences technique that involves many steps. When done well Western blotting delivers useful information to the researcher. Good results can, at times, be challenging. Sourcing quality reagents and finding ways to avoid repeating experiments is essential. This webinar offers insights into the tips and tricks that can help you generate better Western blot data and will discuss advances that have allowed the automation of protein separation and immunodetection of traditional Western blotting.

Enabling formulations becomes more and more necessary to obtain adequate exposure of APIs during (pre)-clinical research. Currently, most registered formulations to improve bioavailability are based on lipidic systems, which make use of intrinsic digestion processes within the GI tract, facilitating the absorption of APIs. Aside from a general absorption mechanism, lipidic systems can also promote lymphatic transport of poorly soluble drugs, such as hormones. In addition, many different indications, such as HIV therapy, oncology, immunosuppressant and even arising therapies related to medicinal cannabis (e.g. CBD) can benefit from lipid formulations. These formulations create multiple possibilities for oral administration because they can be manufactured as solutions, suspensions, emulsions, and self-(micro)emulsifying systems.

Tracking inventory such as medical devices can be an arduous and manual process, especially when items are distributed in the field. Investing in an automated solution can increase workflow efficiency, save time and money, and ultimately lead to a leaner supply chain for field inventory. Utilizing RFID and Internet of Things (IoT) technology affords medical device manufacturers the opportunity to gain real-time inventory visibility and deliver immeasurable savings. Now more than ever, the need for knowing where all of your inventory is at all times is critical to operations, safety, compliance, and patient outcomes. With a real-time, automated medical device tracking solution, this is now possible. Using real-time information and communications allows medical device manufacturers and sales reps the ability to be proactive in sensing the need for change before it is too late. Imagine all of the possibilities that exist when your medical device supply chain is fully connected and automated with the use of real-time tracking, IoT technologies, and RFID traceability.
