Indian Medical Travel Association (IMTA) participates in the Incredible India “Medical tourism road shows held by Indian Ministry of Tourism.

January 25th, 2010

India’s Ministry of Tourism organised four impressive Road Shows during October, 2009 in the high potential markets in the Middle East at Dubai, Doha, Kuwait and Jeddah. These road shows were supported by Indian Medical Travel Association (IMTA) and many of IMTA’s leading members that included leading lights from Indian Hospitals, Wellness services providers, Government and medical tourism facilitators participated in these events.
Middle East and Gulf in particular as a market for promoting medical tourism to India holds great potential. Traditionally patients have been coming to India from the region to leading hospitals in Mumbai and Chennai and the more affluent of them were preferring to go to Europe and America. But now with the establishing of over 100 most modern NABH and JCI internationally accredited hospitals in top ten cities of India during the last five years, no other country in the world can match the capacity, quality and cost value proposition that Indian hospitals have to offer to the overseas patients looking for advanced medical treatment options.
The phenomenon, now popularly known as Medical Tourism is often cited as the next big opportunity for India after the IT outsourcing to earn billions of dollars in forex earnings and create jobs in the healthcare sector. So far only a select group of Indian hospitals have been making valiant attempts to market their services in international arena. More than a million overseas patients already treated at top Indian corporate hospitals like Fortis, Artemis, Max, MIOT, Manipal and many others have already proved to the world that the clinical quality, technology and cost proposition offered by India is unmatched. The capacity in super specialty segment Indian hospitals is expanding fast and there is no waiting period for local or overseas patients.
Indian Medical Travel Association joined hands with the Indian Ministry of Tourism to promote these road shows that were attended by good numbers of local Insurance companies, travel and tour operators hospital administrators and medical tourism facilitators. India’s Ministry of Tourism has achieved phenomenal success in last five years with its much acclaimed “Incredible India “campaign that has multiplied the arrival of foreign tourists to India. Recently it has notified the Market Development Assistance (MDA) Scheme to eligible Medical Tourism players which enables them to get financial support for participation in overseas promotional events.
About Indian Medical Travel Association.
A non profit body aimed at preparing India for facing the challenges of global competition in Medical Tourism space and actualise the tremendous opportunity for India to become a leading global healthcare destination. IMTA’s membership has a diverse base of India’s leading JCI, NABH accredited hospitals, Indian System of Medicine and Wellness service providers, travel industry, Insurance, Assistance and Medical Tourism facilitation companies.

Most Tinnitus, Vertigo and Dizziness Patients Recover Spontaneously

November 22nd, 2009

by Hillary Weston

“Most Tinnitus, Vertigo and Dizziness patients recover spontaneously – with or without treatment, during the first 6 months of suffering” (Dr. Z. Shemesh, Hadassah Hospital, Jeruzalem).

Jeruzalem Novemner 3, 2009.

Tinnitus refers to any auditory perception not directly produced by an external stimulus. It is commonly described as constant or frequent sounds in your ears, such as ringing, swooshing, roaring, rushing, hissing or buzzing.

The sound or noise may be heard in one ear, both ears, in the middle of the head or it may be difficult to pinpoint its exact location. The noise may be low, medium or high-pitched. There may be a single noise or two or more components. The noise may be continuous or it may come and go.

Dr. Zecharya Shemesh, a world renowned physician from The “Hadassah Ein-Kerem” Hospital in Jeruzalem, explains why they have chosen to focus on alleviation of the symptomatology of chronic Tinnitus, Vertigo and Dizziness patients.
“Most patients recover spontaneously – with or without treatment, during the first 6 months of suffering. Patients who do not find relief for their Tinnitus or unsteadiness or do not respond to the currently used treatments (Tinnitus maskers of all types, medications, exercises of various types) are considered chronic”.
Dr. Shemesh said that many acute Tinnitus, Vertigo or Dizziness patients do not need “as intensive medical workup as we do here in Israel”. The high rate of spontaneous cures means that during the first stage of the symptomatology it is possible to follow the commonly used treatments.
If all of these fail to provide relief, there is reason to call our clinic.

Renal Replacement Therapies Registry – A First for Kidney Disease Research

November 14th, 2009

RemedyMD’s solution addresses Institute of Medicine’s top 100 priorities and shifts focus towards research based on more comprehensive scientific evidence

SALT LAKE CITY, US – November 14, 2009 — RemedyMD, the leading provider of Disease Registry Software, today announced the first nationwide renal replacement therapies registry. The new registry was developed to help clinicians and researchers identify which interventions are most appropriate for specific patient populations.

Details about the registry: http://www.remedymd.com/cer100/renal_therapies.html

Aligned with the Institute of Medicine’s Top 100 Priorities for Comparative Effectiveness Research(CER), RemedyMD’s renal therapies registry compares the effectiveness (including survival, hospitalization, quality of life, and costs) of renal replacement therapies including:
* Daily home hemodialysis
* Intermittent home hemodialysis
* Conventional in-center dialysis
* Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
* Renal transplantation
for patients of different ages, races, and ethnicities. The registry includes all of the applications, data infrastructure, and tools that clinicians and researchers need to gather, synthesize and analyze both phenotypic and genotypic data simultaneously.

“Our experience has shown when you view and report across all data types at the same time, you discover patterns and associations that are indistinguishable using traditional methodologies” said Gary D. Kennedy, Founder and CEO of RemedyMD.

RemedyMD’s new renal therapies registry includes a comprehensive set of electronic data collection (EDC) forms that are specific to kidney research, ad hoc reporting capability, and pattern recognition tools that assist users in identifying the most effective treatment options.

In support of this initiative RemedyMD is seeking additional partners who have existing data that addresses the specific needs of kidney researchers. All institutions involved in comparative effectiveness research that are planning on submitting grant proposals for AHRQ funding are invited to visit: http://www.remedymd.com/cer100/renal_therapies.html

What Is the Real Worth of Opting For Used Equipments?

November 12th, 2009

In today’s weak global economy and rising unemployment rate, and make us know about all changes a penny can make in one’s life. Given the situation, if you have to choose between buying and procurement. What will you do? It seems that latter one has become “in” thing when it comes to buying sparingly. Used medical equipments come in a variety of conditions, but if you know what and where to look, you can probably get away with a good buy. In the long run the hospital can enjoy considerable savings for future purchases.

The market for used medical equipment is really rewarding these days for doctors, hospitals and newbie in the business. Whether you need an examining table, a scanner, ultrasound equipment, an X-ray equipment or a nuclear imaging camera, you can save from about 25%(its not new) to 60% (if it is very old and not in a fair condition)or more by buying used equipments. Typically, the price of the used equipment is 50% of the original one. One way to ensure the equipment has been gently used is to inspect the equipment for signs of misuse. These signs could be worn components, scuff marks, and sometimes the looks too indicate that the equipment piece has been overly used. Sometimes, the equipment is well refurbished and works smoothly.

Buying used equipment makes sense when the technology hasn’t changed much; when you’re strapped for cash or are starting out in practice. For that reason, ultrasound equipment is among the top-selling items. The technology in this case hasn’t changed radically. A used ultrasound or refurbished CT will get the job done. This concept benefits the all involved.

Used medical equipments are perfectly safe to buy. This is the best option for the buyer also to maintain cash and earn profits. It might happen that some used medical equipment come with a service agreement or a manufacturer’s warranty. But if this is not the case, you may ask the manufacturer to have the equipment serviced prior for it’s in proper, safe working condition. Know the details, ask for tests and perhaps even for the maintenance of machinery index increased to the end. Keeping this in mind, you and rest assured that you will purchase quality equipment at reasonable cost.

But, still there are pitfalls of buying used medical equipment. You won’t get the training on complex equipment that you would typically get with new pieces. Instructions may be missing. The equipment may be difficult to have serviced.

Finally, you may have to make your own choice, delivery and installation arrangements. The manufacturer will typically not do that, although some companies facilitate such arrangements for an added fee.

To avoid getting fixed in an unwanted situation, be cautious and do plenty of research.

New Report “Clinical Immunoanalyzer Markets” available through Aarkstore Enterprise

September 8th, 2009

Clinical immunoanalyzer analysis is one of the most important functions of clinical laboratory analysis. By all accounts, automated immunoassay testing is the most rapidly developing of the traditional clinical laboratory sectors. Clinical immunoanalyzer analysis usually refers to determining the concentration or activity of protein, carbohydrate, lipid, enzyme or small molecule in easily collected body fluids, such as blood, serum, plasma or urine. However, it is not necessarily limited to these purposes. The analysis of virtually any biologically active substance in any place in the body can generally be defined as clinical immunoassay testing. In fact, traditional specialization barriers, such as microbiology, hematology, blood banking, immunology and even anatomical pathology are fading rapidly, both operationally and instrumentally. This (http://www.aarkstore.com/reports/Clinical-Immunoanalyzer-Markets-1188.html) report deals with the traditional scope of clinical immunoassay, while looking at the emerging technology trends in this sector. The purpose of this study is to describe the specific segments of the global clinical immunoanalyzer instrumentation market. Within this area, the highly-active segments in terms of innovation and growth are covered. Specifically, it examines the markets for small labs and highly-automated large lab platforms, as well as the market for accessory equipment, such as reagents and supplies. Emphasis is on those companies and products that are actively developing and marketing immunoanalyzer products for clinical setting, including hospitals, independent labs, physician’s offices and clinics.

New Report “Hematology Analyzer Instrumentation and Reagent Markets” available through Aarkstore Enterprise

September 8th, 2009

Clinical hematology analyzer analysis is one of the oldest and most important sectors of clinical laboratory analysis. The hematology instrument and reagent market is centered around a group of instruments called hematology analyzers. The term clinical hematology analyzer usually refers to an automated instrument for determining the presence, number and type of cellular elements in easily collected body fluids, such as blood. However, it is not necessarily limited to these determinations. The hematology analysis always includes determination of non-cellular parameters in blood, such as hemoglobin and hematocrit. Other closely related areas of clinical interest are coagulation and flow cytometry. In fact, traditional specialization barriers, such as microbiology, hematology, blood banking, immunology and even anatomical pathology are rapidly fading both operationally and instrumentally. But for the sake of defining the subject to a reasonable size, the more traditional scope of clinical hematology analyzer will be the focus of this examination. The purpose of this Publications report is to describe the specific segments of the global clinical hematology analyzer instrumentation and reagent marketplace. The review covers those segments that are highly active in terms of innovation and growth. Specifically, this study examines the markets for small-lab, as well as highly-automated large-lab, platforms and accessory equipment, such as reagents, supplies and add-on equipment from original equipment manufacturers.

MedEase Transcription, Inc. Helps Northwestern University Understand Gen Y

July 1st, 2009

With MedEase Transcription, Inc.’s help in transcribing all of the Gen Y participant focus groups, Northwestern University did a study on Generation Y (called Millennials), regarding engaging this younger target market in Election news.  During this project MedEase discovered that Generation Y just wants to be communicated to like any other group.

Chicago, IL, June 29, 2009 – ‘Engaging Millennials in Election News on the Web’ was a particular research project from Media Management Center (MMC) of Northwestern University that had Carmel Muelhausen of MedEase Transcription, Inc. intrigued.  After many years of providing transcription services for medical practices and a multitude of other businesses, Carmel was not prepared for the results of this one assignment from NU.  It seems that a group of students, her childrens’ ages, gave insight into the way they would like to see the election news.  And interestingly enough, Carmel discovered, it was no different than she, as an adult, wanted to be treated by the news media.

“Millennials” had a growing interest in the 2008 elections, but frequently clicked away from political news online because they felt too much information was coming at them all at once and too many different things were competing for their attention.  The findings were the result of a qualitative, in-depth study of a diverse group of 89 Chicago-area young adults in 2008, to identify what would “catch their eye” and deepen their engagement in serious news online.

Some of the dislikes that the Millennials identified in news media online were:

• Too many things competing for their attention, without any indication as to which is most

important;

• Too many details;

• Too wordy; not distilled to the essence;

• Too many choices;

• Too much text; too high a percentage of text to graphics, or a screen of mostly text;

• Site features which they don’t immediately understand;

• Pages or stories that go on and on and on;

• Too much emphasis on trivial stories;

• Too much dissonance and verbal abuse.

“I actually think this younger generation has communicated what we basically all want [or don’t] from news media,” said Carmel, “This was one of the most interesting transcription projects we have done to date – and that is saying a lot!”

The study can be viewed at: http://www.mediamanagementcenter.org/research/youthelection.pdf

About MedEase Transcription, Inc.:

After 15 years in medical practice management, Carmel Muelhausen started MedEase Transcription, Inc. in 1992 with the goal of providing the best solutions for out-sourced medical transcription.
