This way Startel is not placed between our customers and our customer’s clients."
2) Enter a unique registration ID supplied by a sponsoring organization.

Acqueon Releases AiQ 4.0

Paging Carrier Association Adopts New Name
The American Association of Paging Carriers has changed its name to the Critical Messaging Association (CMA). Founded in 2002, the association is the only U.S. trade group for companies that provide paging and critical messaging products and services. Emergency healthcare professionals, first responders and public safety personnel – who require reliable, fast communications during a crisis or disaster – have been the core critical messaging user since paging was first introduced in the early 1960s.
“Our name change reflects the continued importance of the critical messaging segment within the overall communications industry, as well the broad array of products and technologies, in addition to paging, that now support the delivery of time-sensitive and critical messages,” said Critical Messaging Association president J. Roy Pottle. “We invite anyone with a role in this dynamic industry to consider the benefits of being a member.”
CMA has launched a new Web site in conjunction with the name change, www.criticalmessagingassociation.org and will hold its 2012 Global Critical Messaging Convention March 27-29 in Austin, Texas.

AAACN Releases 5th Edition of Telehealth Standards
The American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nursing (AAACN) released the newly titled Scope and Standards of Practice for Professional Telehealth Nursing. The fifth edition provides scope and practice guidance specific to the ambulatory subspecialty of Telehealth. The standards promote effective clinical and administrative management of the increasingly complex telehealth nursing roles and responsibilities in a changing health care environment. Sixteen standards are included along with competencies for telehealth registered nurses, nurse executives, administrators, and managers. The standards reflect current professional norms, practices, and expectations.
The publication can be used as a tool to advance ambulatory care professional nursing practice, patient health, and the performance outcomes of telehealth institutions. This resource is ideal for writing policies, procedures, and job descriptions; orienting staff; planning for Joint Commission surveys; and increasing the quality and safety of patient care. You can also use the “standards” to prepare for the ambulatory care nursing certification exam, which contains questions on telehealth nursing and is the recommended exam to validate telehealth nursing knowledge. It costs $44 and can be ordered at www.aaacn.org/store.

1Call’s Pro Show Now Available as a Hosted Solution
Healthcare organizations must constantly contend with patients who miss their scheduled appointments without notifying the physician’s office. These “no show” appointments cost thousands of dollars in wasted resources and staff time. 1Call’s Pro Show automated appointment reminder helps healthcare organizations be proactive by reminding patients in advance, saving time and money and increasing staff productivity.
Pro Show has been available as an on-site solution for several years, and is now available as a hosted solution. Pro Show reminds patients via home phone, mobile phone, email, and text messages. Reminders can be sent instantly or scheduled. Pro Show can also remind physicians and staff about upcoming meetings, classes, and other events.
Currently, healthcare organizations are sending thousands of automated appointment reminders each month, resulting in a significant reduction of patient “no shows.” This has also shortened waiting lists, since rescheduling appointments is no longer necessary. 1Call president Tom Curtin said, “The automated Pro Show significantly increases staff productivity, as staff members no longer need to manually call patients to remind them about upcoming appointments.”
In other news, 1Call’s miSecureMessages, which sends encrypted messages to smartphones and mobile devices, tracks messages sent from operators and messages sent from device to device. A complete audit trail shows the message, when it was sent, when the message was read, what the reply was, and when the reply was sent. This information gives healthcare organizations complete and detailed records for maintaining historical accuracy. The reports are accessible only by an administrator and can now be exported to Microsoft® Excel® or to Adobe® PDF formats.

"We're pleased to have received FDA clearance for this solution as it’s an important consideration for our customers today."
Amcom Messenger middleware helps organizations create an enterprise-wide hub to manage, prioritize, and respond quickly to key events. This includes the ability to send messages to the right people on the right device based on rules set up in a given facility. Staff devices can include smartphones, pagers, Wi-Fi phones, and others, enabling hospitals to incorporate their specific needs into their alarm management process.
