  • GPOs: Novation and Premier tout new supply contracts

    January 10, 2012 by MassDevice staff

    Group purchasing organizations Novation and Premier tout new supply deals for dialysis equipment, operating room integration systems and vital signs monitoring equipment.

    Group purchasing organizations Novation and Premier inked 8 new supply contracts for OR integration and automation systems, dialysis equipment and patient monitoring equipment.

    Dialysis device maker Teleflex Inc. (NYSE:TFX) landed a 2-year contract with GPO

    giant Novation. The deal, slated to begin April 1, 2012, gives Novation health care members access to Teleflex's Arrow brand dialysis products including hemodialysis catheters, declotting devices and micropuncture introducers.
    Premier healthcare alliance signed 6 new contracts with Stryker Corp. (NYSE:SYK), Olympus America (PINK:OCPNY), Steris Corp. (NYSE:STE), Oasys, Nuvo and Skytron for operating room integration and automation systems.

    The terms of the deals were not disclosed.

    CJPS Healthcare Supplies & Equipment took the spot as Premier's 7th deal, slated to go into effect February 1.
    The Auburn Mills, Mich.-based company signed a 36-month agreement with Premier for vital signs monitors and telemonitoring equipment.

    Hospital GPOs have been more vocal about signing contract since Medtronic Inc.'s (NYSE:MDT) headline-making, Wall Street-pleasing decision to cut several
    contracts worth an estimated $2 billion a year for its cardiovascular and
    orthopedic products with Irving, Texas-based GPO giant Novation in February 2010. Novation touted more than a dozen new deals across general radiology and molecular imaging equipment recently, affirming its continued GPO presence in the market.

    "As demonstrated by these agreements, suppliers continue to find value in the Novation relationship," Novation VP of contract and program services Michael Vintges said in
    a press release. "Suppliers find that participating in our contracts provides increased brand awareness and market share through access to the members we serve."

  • CJPS Medical Systems Introduces Remote Patient Monitoring With Tablet PCs

    Auburn Hills, Michigan, December 1st, 2011 – CJPS Medical Systems announces today that VitalPoint® HOME, its remote patient monitor, can be used with Microsoft Windows® - based Tablet PCs. This announcement comes on the heels of CJPS being the first company waiving all connectivity fees to caregivers accessing their patients' data remotely using home monitors.

    Typically, nurses and doctors have been using their desktops or laptops to view their patient data using VitalPoint® HOME, which has been designed to be the easiest system to use anywhere – Not just for the patients, but also for the caregivers monitoring their health. This newest development makes it even easier for nurses and doctors to pick up patients' reported symptoms and vital signs data from anywhere. All existing VitalPoint® HOME units that have been sold in the field are already capable of such connectivity, and all that needs to be purchased is a Microsoft Windows® - based Tablet PC, and then download VitalPoint® HOME Remote Device Connectivity® software from CJPS.

    With facilities looking to upgrade to easier-to-use, and more modern and reliable remote patient monitors to reduce their readmission rates, improve health care delivery, while trying to keep up with a sharp increase in older, chronically-ill patients, this unique offering could not come at a better time.

    In spite of large name competitors, CJPS continues to gain market share thanks to breakthrough industry firsts such as never charging connectivity fees, trading-in existing remote patient monitors and now, providing true mobile health care to home patients. This disruptive industry transformation, driven single-handedly by CJPS, and coupled with the state-of-the-art VitalPoint® technology, contributed greatly to the large national contracts recently won by the company.

    VitalPoint® is a standalone 4.5-lb device that can monitor blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, pulse rate, weight, glucose level, prothrombin time and ratios, temperature, fluid status, and provide electrocardiogram data, and provides the caregiver with the ability to remotely monitor patients' conditions using their laptop or cell phone.

  • Out With The Old, In With The New – Another TeleHealth Industry First For CJPS Healthcare
    

    Auburn Hills, Michigan, September 20th, 2011 – In yet another unprecedented move, CJPS Healthcare Supplies & Equipment (www.CJPS.com) announces a new Trade-Up program. This announcement comes on the heels of being the first and only company waiving all connectivity fees to caregivers accessing their patients’ data using VitalPoint®

    With facilities looking to upgrade to easier-to-use, and more modern and reliable remote patient monitors, while trying to keep up with a sharp increase in older, chronically-ill patients, this unique program could not come at a better time.

    Due to the state of the economy, incentives for reducing hospital readmission rates, and expensive monthly connectivity fees tied to typical remote patient monitors, it can be difficult, especially for smaller healthcare facilities, to make upgrades to their existing telehealth programs. That’s why CJPS has launched this new program and is purchasing older remote patient monitors and replacing them with VitalPoint® (http://www.cjps.com/medicalsystems/vitalpointhome/).

    “I am shocked to see how many remote patient monitor units are out there, which are not being used often or at all, in spite of the huge need for this technology to reduce healthcare costs and improve patients’ quality of life” says. C. Sevrain, President of CJPS Healthcare. “An amazing percentage of our sales are trade-ups from units that have poor patient compliance, and therefore just don’t deliver the promise of telemedicine”, he adds.

    In spite of large name competitors, CJPS continues to gain market share thanks to breakthrough industry firsts such as never charging any connectivity fees and now, buying back healthcare facilities’ existing remote patient monitors. This disruptive industry transformation, driven single-handedly by CJPS, and coupled with the state-of-the-art VitalPoint® technology, contributed greatly to the large national contracts recently won, such as the 33,000-unit order that the company announced just a few weeks ago.

    VitalPoint® is a standalone 4.5-lb device that can monitor blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, pulse rate, weight, glucose level, prothrombin time and ratios, temperature, fluid status, and provide electrocardiogram data, and provides the caregiver with the ability to remotely monitor patients’ conditions using their laptop or cell phone.

  • CJPS Healthcare Inks Major National Contract for VitalPoint® Remote Patient Monitors
    

    Auburn Hills, Michigan, September 7th, 2011 – CJPS Healthcare Supplies & Equipment (www.CJPS.com) announces the execution of an agreement to provide 33,000 units of its state-of-the-art remote patient monitor, VitalPoint® Home, to groups of visiting physicians in the United States.

    This contract is a testimonial of the confidence that that the ease of use of VitalPoint® translates into high patient compliance, and validates the partiality that visiting physicians have shown for this breakthrough product. VitalPoint® is a standalone 4.5-lb device that can monitor blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, pulse rate, weight, glucose level, prothrombin time and ratios, temperature, fluid status, and provide electrocardiogram data, and provides the caregiver with the ability to remotely monitor patients’ conditions using their own computer, iPad, or cell phone.

    This significant contract, worth over $100 million, will have the effect of lowering the cost of healthcare by providing better care, by acting as an early warning system to help detect signs of complications early on. Eight out of ten older adults are living with the health challenges of one or more chronic diseases, ones that are long lasting, incurable, or recurrent. For these patients, prevention of reoccurrence and health monitoring are critical to their recovery, safety and quality of life, for which remote patient monitoring devices such as VitalPoint®, have been shown to be extremely effective. They can help patients slow progression of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

  • CJPS Medical Systems To Partner with Automotive Supplier to Bring to Market Power-Assist Wheelchairs

    Auburn Hills, Michigan, August 25th, 2011 – CJPS Medical Systems (www.CJPS.com) announces the execution of an agreement to integrate its novel power-assist technology with RALCO Industries’ new wheelchairs. This technology was recently exclusively licensed by CJPS from Independence Technology, LLC, a Johnson & Johnson Company.

    As previously announced, CJPS will mostly focus its efforts in the manufacturing and sales of this power-assist drive system for the aftermarket, specifically for end-users and wheelchair distributors to upgrade existing manual wheelchairs with this system. This technology was previously integrated with a wheelchair frame, and sold by Independence Technology under the INDEPENDENCE® iGLIDE® brand.

    RALCO will only offer this technology on its own brand of chairs and will become the master OEM for factory-installed systems.

    CJPS Medical Systems will manufacture the power assist drive systems at its world headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan and distribute them on a global basis both to RALCO, and as an aftermarket add-on directly to wheelchair distributors and end-users.

    This power-assist technology is comprised of a sophisticated and patented mini computer system which allows wheelchair users to move in an effortless and resistant-free manner. Not only does this technology allow the user to move much more easily on rough terrain such as grass or inclines, but it also automatically slows the wheelchair down to a stop when going downhill without having to use hands as the braking system.

    The controller and battery are cleverly concealed under the seat, giving the appearance of a standard manual wheelchair, and only adding a minimal amount of load, making this powered wheelchair a fraction of the weight of permanently powered ones. The battery is expected to provide up to 9 miles of sustainable travel on a 3.5 hour charge.

    This technology has been the subject of significant clinical studies by world renowned clinicians, such as Physical and Rehabilitation Therapists, resulting in undisputable clinical benefits to the wheelchair user of this power-assist technology, by greatly reducing the force, effort and wear and tear to the shoulders, arms and hands of full-time wheelchair users.

  • CJPS Medical Systems Shakes The World Of Telemedicine

    Auburn Hills, Michigan, August 16th, 2011 – In an unprecedented move, CJPS Medical Systems announces today that it will no longer charge for any connectivity fees for caregivers to access patient data when using VitalPoint®, its state-of-the-art remote patient monitoring system.

    CJPS Medical Systems www.CJPS.com/MedicalSystems has been the leader in providing the easiest remote patient monitor for patients and caregivers to use, thanks to its “plug and play” setup, its color touch screen and multilingual audio prompts, and its legendary communication reliability.

    Once again, the company leads the industry by being the first to offer this remote connectivity from “patients’ Home 2 physicians’ Office” (H2Oconnectivity™) at no cost to the patient or the caregiver. Imagine buying a cellular phone, and having no cell phone plan to purchase!

    Another first for CJPS Medical Systems was its buy-back program, allowing users of remote patient monitors to upgrade their systems to VitalPoint®, most cost effectively.

    “Everyone agrees that the only way to provide better care to a rapidly aging population while reducing healthcare costs, given the shortage of nurses and physicians, is to enable and deploy homecare monitoring”, states Christophe Sevrain, the CEO of Michigan-based CJPS Medical Systems.

    This move may signal a shift in the way providers of telemedicine, a field that is sure to expand, according to experts. Eight out of ten older adults are living with the health challenges of one or more chronic diseases, ones that are long lasting, incurable, or recurrent. For these patients, prevention of reoccurrence and health monitoring are critical to their recovery, safety and quality of life, for which remote patient monitoring (RPM) such a VitalPoint®, has been shown to be extremely effective. They can help older patients slow progression of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

    VitalPoint® is a standalone 4.5 lbs device that can monitor blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, pulse rate, weight, glucose level, prothrombin time and ratios, temperature, fluid status, and provide electrocardiogram data, and provides the caregiver with the ability to remotely monitor patients’ conditions using their own computer, I-pad, or cell phone.

    “This is Healthcare IT at its best” continues Sevrain. “Patients’ compliance to their treatment regimen, and the monitoring of their health to prevent adverse effects and hospital readmissions are absolutely critical to not only a reduction in the cost of care, but also to the quality of life of these patients affected by chronic diseases, or recently discharged from a healthcare facility”, he adds.
