GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – January 10, 2023 – (Newswire.com)

SpendMend, the leading provider of solutions to optimize the cost-cycle for the healthcare industry, today announced the delivery of InvoiceROI™ 2.0, a platform that drives cost-savings across purchased services spend at major hospitals and health systems throughout the U.S. 

The upgraded technology, which automates the identification and categorization of line-item detail more deeply than any prior industry solution, enables end users to capitalize on new cost-savings strategies with an updated dashboard, advanced OCR, an enhanced analytics engine, and a widely expanded reporting suite. 

Prior to the release of the InvoiceROI™ technology solution, hospitals, and healthcare systems have struggled to gain a complete and detailed view into their total annual purchased services spend. To date, traditional industry tools have provided only generalized data. The latest release of the SpendMend technology represents a drastic shift away from ratio to precision benchmarking.

Clients using the new technology receive aggregated digital access into invoice-level detail to expedite and simplify the comparison of terms and transactions across spend categories and sub-categories. The enhanced system automation performs an exhaustive end-to-end review of total spend without the need for excessive staff time and research. As a result, hospitals gain deeper visibility and insight, which drives better reach and accuracy in their cost-savings strategies.

“InvoiceROI™ has the ability to quickly take utilization and usage trends,” states Luis R. Martinez, VP of Supply Chain, Cornerstone Healthcare Group. “The advanced platform has empowered our hospitals to re-negotiate new agreements resulting in deeper cost reductions than we ever thought possible. This includes consolidating contracts and service providers across multiple hospitals in different regions.”

“The motivation to create the platform came from over 20 years working with top hospitals across the U.S.,” states Lisa Miller, Managing Director of SpendMend Purchased Services and inventor of InvoiceROI™. “We are proud to deliver a software solution that grants C-level leadership better insights and clearer direction on cost-savings opportunities throughout purchased services spend at their hospitals.”

InvoiceROI™ 2.0 is currently in production with existing SpendMend clients and generally available for U.S. hospitals and health systems with no limitations or restrictions. Existing clients will still have the option of leveraging SpendMend’s highly specialized experts to maximize the benefit of the new solution.

Atlanta Dental Unveils New Logo and Brand Identity

The device’s ease of use permits players to wear sam® for long periods discreetly, allowing athletes to attend class while maintaining 100% treatment compliance during recovery.

sam\u00aex1 healing on the go for sports medicine rehabilitation

AUSTIN, Texas – January 9, 2023 – (Newswire.com)

A Texas collegiate football program is taking advantage of sustained acoustic medicine (sam®), a low-intensity, long-duration ultrasound treatment developed by ZetrOZ Systems. Injured athletes are utilizing the device while in class, allowing them to recover from injury and get the full benefit of the recommended one-hour treatment time without sacrificing attendance.

A representative from the ZetrOZ Systems sports medicine team visited the organization to discuss the sam® device. One account involved a wide receiver at the college who suffered from plantar fasciitis. His trainer put him on a treatment using the sam®x1 wireless unit, allowing him to attend team lunches and class while undergoing the full hour of treatment time.

An innovation in wearable health technology, sam® is a wearable, mechanobiological device that delivers high-frequency sound waves to the affected area, helping to increase blood flow while reducing inflammation and swelling. The increased oxygenated hemoglobin at the injury site removes cytokine enzymes and cellular waste and can be particularly useful for treating injuries such as strains, sprains, and muscle tears, as well as chronic conditions such as tendonitis and bursitis.

In addition to its anti-inflammatory effects, long-duration ultrasound therapy has also been found to reduce pain, improve mobility, and accelerate tissue repair. It is generally considered a safe and non-invasive treatment option with few side effects.

Backed by over 30 clinical studies, the sam® device was developed from research funded by the National Institute of Health and the U.S. Department of Defense to provide effective soft tissue healing and reduce the use of narcotics and invasive treatments.
