Virtual Care Industry Leader, VirtuAlly, Celebrates 1-year Anniversary of Providing Telesitting Service Solution to Five Orlando Health System Hospitals

CHARLESTON, S.C., Aug. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — VirtuAlly, a leading virtual care company on a mission to reimagine, redefine and reinvigorate the virtual care industry, announces its 1-year anniversary of providing telesitting service solutions to five hospitals in the Orlando Health System.

Last July, VirtuAlly, in collaboration with technology partner, Andor Heath, onboarded and integrated its virtual-sitting solutions into four Orlando Health Systems hospitals over a span of 30 days. These hospitals included Health Central Hospital, South Seminole Hospital, Dr. P. Phillips Hospital, as well as Orlando Health Systems largest hospital, Orlando Regional Medical Center. Later in the year, VirtuAlly also onboarded the system’s fifth hospital, South Lake Hospital.

“We are honored to partner with VirtuAlly who is a pioneer in the virtual caring space. As the healthcare industry adapts to challenges, remote monitoring services have become increasingly important to the system. VirtuAlly’s solutions offer transformational nursing and care delivery, increasing peace of mind for our staff, patients and their family members” said Candace McNight, Senior Director of Workforce Optimization Orlando Health System.

Orlando Heath is the ideal partner because like us, the company is striving to transform healthcare as an industry leader. Our team applauds their forward-thinking, and we know our work with Orlando Health will only lead to more partnerships in the future,” said VirtuAlly CEO Joseph Wechsler. “At VirtuAlly, customer and patient well-being is our focus. By leveraging a human-centered approach with technology to support the delivery of care to the most vulnerable of patients, we transform the original approach to healthcare and elevate quality of care at every point of need.”

Virtual sitting has helped revolutionize the healthcare system. VirtuAlly’s services have helped to reduce patient fall rates by 50-70%, lower annual expenses per unit by an average of nearly $150,000, and increase employee retention and morale. By interacting with patients remotely, VirtuAlly’s staff can spend intentional time with each patient, increasing quality of care and safety as a result.

Telehealth capabilities provide a solution to nurse burnout amidst an aging nation. As the baby boom population reaches retirement, the healthcare system expects an influx of patients, especially in the Southeastern Florida area. This need, combined with the growing trend of nurse burnout, calls for 275,000 more nurses by 2023 as reported by The US Bureau of Labor Statistics. VirtuAlly’s services provide a needed layer of support to health systems, such as Orlando Health, relieving some of challenges that come with 24/7 care in this changing healthcare environment. This helps reduce staff burnout and shortages, enabling hospital staff to focus on direct patient care and critical tasks.

The concept and implementation of telehealth services skyrocketed during the pandemic but has continued to be an effective method for providing quality care and minimizing costs. VirtuAlly, a Charleston, SC-based company, is at the forefront of reimagining healthcare delivery by marrying industry innovation and human caring.

SHANGHAI, Sept. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — At HUAWEI CONNECT 2024, over 300 industry leaders, experts, and scholars gathered for the data center network session themed “Xinghe Intelligent Fabric, Powering the AI Era.” The event featured discussions on the evolution and technological advancements of data center networks. During the session, Arthur Wang, President of Data Center Network Domain at Huawei’s Data Communication Product Line, introduced the newly upgraded Xinghe Intelligent Fabric solution. This cutting-edge solution aims to establish a data center network characterized by one map for intelligent operations and maintenance (O&M), one network for diverse computing, and one platform for simplified deployment, providing a robust network infrastructure to support enterprises’ digital and intelligent transformations.

In his keynote speech, Arthur Wang outlined the emerging trends in data center network development. He emphasized that in the AI era, data center networks require both a “brilliant brain” and “resilient bones.” The newly launched Xinghe Intelligent Fabric solution is designed to deliver a powerful network infrastructure tailored for the AI era, featuring:

One Map for Intelligent O&M: Zero Management Concerns

Cultivating a Culture of Peace: International Day of Peace Statement by Education Cannot Wait Executive Director Yasmine Sherif

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2024 /CNW/ — The longing for peace transcends time, geography and religion. Based on justice, human rights and universal values outlined in the UN Charter, a culture of peace brings us all together in our common agenda for humanity. We can only co-exist by aligning ourselves with such a world order.

On today’s International Day of Peace, we call on world leaders to end conflict and embrace a culture of peace as enshrined in the UN Charter and related international law.

As the UN General Assembly outlined in the Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace  a quarter of a century ago, this must include: “Respect for life, human rights and fundamental freedoms; the promotion of non-violence through education, dialogue and cooperation; commitment to peaceful settlement of conflicts; and adherence to freedom, justice, democracy, tolerance, solidarity, cooperation, pluralism, cultural diversity, dialogue and understanding at all levels of society and among nations.”

Educating for peace starts at home and continues in school through years of education. This takes place during the most formative years of a child learning about their identity, ethics, values, conscience, courage and compassion. Wherever there has been a failure in imparting on children the imperative for peace, the world is turned upside down. This is a global failure with no geographical boundaries.

Today, we live in a world of unprecedented violence, armed conflict and chaos. All the genuine and heartfelt commitments made in 1945 in the UN Charter seem to be fading away. Children and adolescents are the most vulnerable, the least protected, and the most impacted. They bear the brunt. 

Global conflicts killed three times as many children in 2023 than in the previous year, according to the United Nations. The number of forcibly displaced people reached an unprecedented 120 million in May 2024.

“In 2023, the United Nations verified a record 32,990 grave violations against 22,557 children in 26 conflict zones, a 35% increase from the previous year,” according to recent analysis by the UN.

We can end these violations and invest in a constructive co-existence globally. We can use our resources for education, rather than for wars. In classrooms around the world, girls and boys who have withstood the wrath of war can rebuild their hopes and their lives. Cultivating a culture of peace is possible. The financial resources exist. The choice as to how we use them is ours.
