This strategic acquisition underscores Health Commons Project’s commitment to expanding its impact by improving data interoperability, enhancing care coordination, and promoting public health across Washington.

The acquisition of OneHealthPort strengthens Health Commons Project’s position as a leader in health information technology, giving it the tools to support providers, health systems, and public health agencies with real-time, secure access to patient data.

Key Benefits of the Acquisition:

Enhanced Data Interoperability: By integrating OneHealthPort into its portfolio, Health Commons Project will further its ability to connect health and social care providers such as fire departments, schools, rural pharmacies and community-based organizations across the state, ensuring critical patient data is available when and where it’s needed.

Improved Care Coordination: The combined resources will help streamline patient transitions between different care settings, ensuring better outcomes and reducing unnecessary costs.

Support for Public Health Initiatives: With the expanded health data network, Health Commons Project will provide real-time, de-identified data insights to public health agencies, empowering them to respond to crises and monitor population health trends more effectively.

Increased Accessibility for Health and Social Care Providers: Health Commons Project will offer new, affordable and equitable ways for providers with limited or no IT staff to access critical health data and reports.

“This acquisition represents a significant milestone in our mission to transform health and social care for the better,” said Rob Arnold, Executive Director of Health Commons Project. “By bringing Washington’s HIE into our nonprofit network, we can empower more health and social care providers, public health agencies, and communities with the tools they need to deliver better, more connected care. We are excited to expand our capabilities to improve healthcare outcomes for all.”

OneHealthPort has served the state of Washington since 2002, providing a robust platform for healthcare organizations to share critical patient data securely and efficiently. Over 35,000 healthcare entities and 150,000 individuals currently use OneHealthPort, including hospitals, primary care providers, specialists, and public health agencies.

Introducing the Next Generation of 10-inch T1 Slim Subwoofers by Rockford Fosgate®

Published

on

By

TEMPE, Ariz., Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Rockford Fosgate, a leader in high-performance audio systems, is thrilled to unveil the next generation of T1 Slim Subwoofers. The new T1 series of slim subwoofers deliver next-level reliability and tactile bass performance, offering improved responsiveness and exceptional thermal management. Available in both sealed and ported options, the line of subwoofers is designed for the tightest installations, while still providing class-leading bass output.

The 500-watt subwoofers have been re-engineered with more mass to fit in smaller enclosures and includes upgrades like a new surround and better heat management.  The “P” (ported) version is designed for ported enclosures and work best in open-air environments (topless/convertible).  The “S” sealed version is designed for smaller sealed enclosures and work best in closed environments (truck cab).

The voice coil now uses pure copper wire for better conductivity, paired with a new composite former to dissipate heat and reduce distortion. Additionally, an aluminum spider spacer improves cooling.  The suspension utilizes a new polymer surround, made using an advanced NCDI (Nano Cell Direct Injection) process to enhance efficiency and durability without risking dry rot.

“With the ever-increasing popularity of compact SUV’s, pickups, crossovers, and EV’s, less volume is available for a consumer to dedicate towards a subwoofer. Yet the new T1Se subwoofers are the culmination of the latest advancements in simulation software, materials, textiles, allowing customers to have the best of both worlds,” said Wayne Connolly, Vice President of OE Business Development.  

The four models: T1S1-10P / T1S2-10P / T1S1-10S / T1S2-10S will be available in January through Rockford Fosgate dealers and at rockfordfosgate.com
