The odds are that, if you are a man between the ages of forty and sixty, you probably have experienced a prostate problem. Yet, a recent poll showed that nine out of ten men did not even know what the prostate is! Luckily, September is National Prostate Health Month and organizations across the country will join in an effort to bring awareness to prostate health, prostate diseases, and treatment options. Millions of men suffer needlessly due to ignorance and resignation when simple measures such as getting a check-up, nutrition and supplements, and prostate massage can greatly relieve the inevitable symptoms of prostate disease, which include frequent urination, especially at night, pelvic pain or discomfort, weak urine stream, and even erectile dysfunction. In our continued efforts toward education and change, High Island Health will donate $1 of each prostate massager sale to the Prostate Health Foundation.

The wireless Range of Motion device from Titronics is extremely accurate, thanks to the upper cervical glasses and the design of the handheld inclinometers. The glasses are designed to produce more accurate results when taking upper cervical tests. They replace the handheld inclinometer traditionally held on top of the patient’s head. The result is more accurate testing by removing any margin of error that may come from the doctor’s hand slipping. The handheld inclinometers are easy to hold and the reference unit is designed with the doctor in mind. There is enough space for the doctor to put their fingers through to grip onto the patient, rather than just holding the inclinometer on the patient. The graphs are extremely easy for the doctor and patient to read with engaging colors and a simplistic interface. It takes tests extremely fast, thanks to its doctor friendly controls and software. For more information, call 1-319-545-7377.
The increase of electronic health records has driven the need for companies to combine their efforts to optimize patient’s overall health and wellness; an example of this is a recent alliance between Future Health Inc., an integrated office management company, and JTECH Medical™, which produces computerized wireless functional testing systems.
The integration between Future Health, Inc., and JTECH Medical allows all patient documentation and reports to be stored in Future Health’s TRUE electronic health record (EHR) rather than in a system computer for different biomedical devices. The information is stored on the JTECH system but also in Future Health’s patient EHR. The test reports can be attached to any daily note and, inside the note, the Future Health system will automatically reference that there was a JTECH test performed that day. This convenience makes it easy to retrieve records from any computer on the doctor’s network within a matter of seconds; and it will help provide medical necessity and demonstrate progress in clinical documentation
