Med-Lab, short for ‘medical laboratory,’ has created confusion around its offering and limited its capabilities for some time. Their new name, Centella, is inspired by the Spanish word for “spark” and represents their aspiration to drive innovation and further push boundaries in healthcare technology. The new logo represents a team huddle, demonstrating the need for collaboration, teamwork, and communication to meet this aspiration.

For over 60 years, Med-Lab has had a reputation as the most trusted partner in medical imaging. They are ubiquitous in virtually every hospital system in South Florida. As a Siemens Healthineers Advanced Partner, they are proud to introduce world-class OEM technology into its local community.

CEO Gonzalo Diaz III said, “We focus on building trusted partnerships, and when our customers asked us for more, we accepted the challenge.” Diaz continued, “We work together with our customers to push existing boundaries for the benefit of our community.”

After conversations with customers, they saw the opportunity to do more, expanding their service offerings to Healthcare Technology Solutions, a service-based offering for the maintenance and safe use of all health technology and medical equipment within a clinical facility.

After successfully piloting the offering with Broward Health, the Centella team is excited to bring it to market.

Diaz notes, “Since 1967, despite social unrest, economic downturns, and a global pandemic, Med-Lab has delivered technological solutions with compassion and collaboration. This will never change.”

Mytonomy Inc., a leader in cloud solutions for health education and engagement, announced today that the company is a proud participant of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons’ (AAOS) Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) Vendor Program^[1]. The program is designed to offer a rich library of technology vendors and solutions to AAOS members and their orthopedic care teams, supporting them with the collection and analysis of patient outcomes data.

The Mytonomy Cloud for Healthcare platform streams orthopedic patient education video content and provides comprehensive guidance, supporting patients through the entire perioperative journey for joint replacement from initial shared decision-making and HOOS/KOOS assessment to post-operative rehabilitation and recovery at home.

“Joining the AAOS PROMs Vendor Program underscores how effective patient education strategies can enhance the collection of patient-reported outcomes,” said Mytonomy President and Co-Founder Vinay Bhargava. “With seamless integration with Epic and other EHR/CRM systems, healthcare systems will also benefit by supporting their Orthopedic Service Lines in scaling their patient volumes by reducing the need to hire additional nurse navigators, increasing efficiency.”

Mytonomy Cloud for Healthcare is designed to educate patients undergoing orthopedic surgery to help reduce delays in scheduling surgery, decrease length of stay, and improve surgical outcomes. The content supports patients in recovering at home instead of returning to the hospital and aims to increase overall patient satisfaction. Customer feedback to KLAS Research resulted in a category-leading score, showcasing Mytonomy’s expertise in the field.

“Mytonomy’s unique approach to patient education leverages its video consumption by patients to drive PROM survey completion,” added Vinay Ambekar, executive vice president of engineering and product, Mytonomy. “Our data shows that Medicare-eligible patients watch over 30 minutes of our expert content. More than half of the invited patients log in and watch our content. We are proud that leading health systems have digitized their pre-surgical orthopedic education classes, moving the experience onto the Mytonomy platform, saving time and resources for clinicians.”

“Finding the right technology vendor who can help ease the burden of collecting patient-reported outcome data is vital, but often complicated,” said Kurt P. Spindler, MD, FAAOS, AAOS PROMs workgroup chair. “We are pleased to welcome Mytonomy into AAOS’ circle of featured PROMs vendors and look forward to further assisting and educating AAOS members with the PROMs implementation process.”

In the last decade, the use of high deductible health plans (HDHP) with HSA accounts has more than doubled (link) and more than quadrupled for those without HSA accounts. These HDHP plans can have out of pocket maximums of $6,900 (individual) or $13,800 (family), putting a much higher cost burden on the patient and shifting more of a practice’s outstanding receivables away from standard insurance payments. For the first time ever, patient receivables are now a larger portion of open A/R than insurance for many practices (link).

This shift means practices are increasingly faced with the added responsibility of educating patients on coverage and costs. Additionally, manual outreach for patient collections and bad debt creates more strain on practice resources. All of this presents challenges while trying to use inadequate, ineffective solutions.

Greenway Health Pay aims to alleviate confusion and frustrations for patients and practices by providing easy access to cost information, convenient payment methods and simple payment plans. Ready to use with both of our Greenway’s EHR platforms, this new suite of solutions includes on-demand payment options, flexible payment plans for pre-payment or existing balances, electronic statements, and balance information. Patients will be able to breeze through the process with the ability to have a saved payment method or “card on file.” Having the tools to provide upfront information and the means to accept payment at all stages of the visit allows practices to improve overall collections and streamline disparate A/R collections processes.

Greenway Health Pay will give patients visibility and access to electronic statements and up-to-date account balances. Patients will have access to multiple contactless payment options through text, email, online, card on file or their patient portal. Greenway Health Pay will provide peace of mind with secure payment options and simple setup of payment plans for upcoming expenses or outstanding balances.

“With the growing financial responsibility of patients as consumers, coupled with expectations for flexible payment options, the patient payment space presents tremendous opportunity for innovation”, said David Cohen, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Greenway Health. “We believe that combining convenience and flexibility with safety and security in a consumer-friendly package will also result in improved collections – and financial wellness – for both providers and their patients.”

Greenway Health is a leading health information technology service provider specializing in electronic health records with its flagship Intergy and Prime Suite products. Greenway and its award-winning solutions have been ranked highly in the Best in KLAS awards by KLAS Research, an independent research organization that assesses healthcare vendor performance through independent feedback from users. Additionally, Greenway Health’s revenue cycle solution, Greenway Revenue Services, was named the 2023 North American Customer Value Leadership Award in Frost & Sullivan’s Best Practices Award.
