50-Provider FQHC Significantly Reduces Patient No-Show Rate by Implementing healow No-Show Prediction AI Model

eClinicalWorks

Total Health Care, Inc., a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in Baltimore, Maryland, is successfully leveraging the healow ® no-show prediction AI model to improve patient care, reduce missed appointments, and ultimately increase revenue outcomes. Total Health Care provides primary care — including dental, behavioral health, podiatry, pharmacy services, and more — to nearly 30,000 patients throughout Metropolitan Baltimore, many of whom are at or below the 200% poverty line. By identifying which patients are at a higher risk of missing appointments, Total Health Care can proactively reach out to those patients to remind them of or reschedule their appointments. Missed appointments are a significant challenge for healthcare providers, leading to lost revenue and result in negative health outcomes for patients. With the healow no-show prediction AI model, Total Health Care has reported: A significant decrease in the no-show rate of high-risk no-show patients by 34% An additional 309 appointments in 45 days from reduced no-shows “Missed appointments are a significant challenge to overcome. When the pandemic hit, digitization and optimizing systems became a priority for our organization,” said Marceé J. White, MD, FAAP, chief medical officer of Total Health Care. “As an FQHC, the healow no-show prediction AI model helps us streamline the identification and outreach process to patients likely to miss their appointment. It provides us with an opportunity to increase our patient volume, deliver quality care, and improve efficiencies for the staff.” Using AI and machine learning, the healow no-show prediction model can help practices identify patients with a high no-show probability with 90% accuracy. Once patients with a high no-show probability are identified, practices can utilize eClinicalMessenger to manage outreach efforts with voice messages, secure text messages, and email reminders. With healow Open Access ®, practices can publish open, cancelled, and last-minute rescheduled appointment slots on the practice website to avoid revenue loss, acquire new patients, and limit their waitlist. Using healow CHECK-IN ™ and healow Payment Services ™ makes the pre-visit process convenient and efficient, further reducing the rate of no-shows. These contactless solutions allow patients to check in to their appointment and pay their copay from the comfort of home. “We are excited to see Total Health Care implement the healow no-show prediction AI model to improve its overall impact on patient care,” said Girish Navani, CEO and cofounder of eClinicalWorks. “We strive to deliver FQHC’s like Total Health Care the highest quality of care to their patients and community. The introduction of the no-show model will ultimately reduce the cost of healthcare and encourage better patient outcomes." About Total Health Care Total Health Care, Inc. is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) dedicated to caring for everyone in our community—especially those who are most in need. Total Health Care is one of Maryland’s largest minority-run, nonprofit, tax-exempt community health centers and annually cares for nearly 30,000 patients throughout Metropolitan Baltimore —many at or below the 200% poverty line.

XLB ETF: Building Materials In Demand As Construction Spending Rises

Select Sector SPDR

America appears to be on the brink of a construction renaissance. Despite the counter-intuitive trend of rising interest rates fueling an increase in building, the Commerce Department reports a consistent surge in construction spending post-pandemic. Much of this expenditure is being channeled into non-residential and commercial projects, indicative of the pent-up demand generated during the pandemic years. The recently passed infrastructure bill by Congress may also be contributing to this increase in demand for building materials. The need for materials to sustain this growth remains strong. Investors seeking to capitalize on this construction upturn can consider the exchange-traded fund (ETF), the Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund ( XLB ), which encapsulates this active sector. Market-Cap Weighting XLB tracks a market-cap-weighted index of U.S. basic materials companies. The fund includes only the materials components of the S&P 500. And with a low cost expense ratio of 0.10%* and over $5 billion in assets under management, XLB offers easy access to the sector. This sector is key to the economy and advisors and investors should consider XLB as a portfolio sleeve alongside other sectors. Building is always happening and now there could be an upward trend. The companies comprising XLB are big players in the industry. Steel, timber, and masonry are core components. Top holdings** are Linde with a weighting of 20.44%, followed by Air Products and Chemicals (7.08%), paint maker Sherwin-Williams (6.88%), and miner Freeport-McMoRan (6.17%). The rest of the top holdings include Ecolab, Nucor, Dow, Corteva, DuPont de Nemours, and PPG Industries. Investment Opportunities Amidst Construction Boom The diversity of the holdings within the fund, ranging from miners to paint manufacturers, provides investors with a well-rounded portfolio within a single fund. This allows for potential upside during an industry upswing. Taking into account recent industry challenges such as supply chain disruptions and environmental regulations, investing in XLB could prove advantageous. The ETF's holdings are well-positioned to navigate these issues, with many companies adopting innovative solutions to mitigate supply chain disruptions and aligning their operations with stringent environmental regulations. For instance, companies like Sherwin-Williams and Freeport-McMoRan are implementing sustainable practices in their operations, which not only comply with environmental regulations but also lead to operational efficiencies. Undoubtedly, the building materials sector plays a pivotal role in the economy. As such, advisors and investors should consider adding XLB to their portfolios, given the persistent relevance of the building industry and it’s potential. In conclusion, the XLB ETF presents a unique investment opportunity that capitalizes on the current construction landscape. It’s a solid choice for those looking to invest in a diverse portfolio of basic materials companies. Now is the time to consider the Materials ETF, XLB, to take advantage of the potential construction boom.

Ambow Education’s (NYSE: AMBO) Innovative HybriU AI Digital Education Solution Showcases The Potential Of AI To Transform Education

Ambow Education Holding

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga COVID-19 brought massive changes to the educational system globally. What was once thought to be largely infeasible has now become desirable and commonplace. Completely digital or hybrid learning experiences are now being utilized from K12 to higher education. However, there is limited infrastructure currently in place to support the dilemmas that arise from digital and remote learning. Put simply, companies like Zoom (NASDAQ: ZM) seem ill-equipped to handle all the nuances that play a role in online learning. That’s why artificial intelligence (AI) platforms and integrations are so integral to the future of the education sector. Ambow Education Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: AMBO) is leading the charge in integrating AI technology into the educational sector. Their ground-breaking solution, known as HybriU, is an advanced digital education total solution designed to empower students and bridge the gap between academia and industry. With the help of cutting-edge connective technology, HybriU aims to shatter traditional limitations in languages, regions, academia and industry – providing a seamless and immersive learning experience both online and offline. Ambow is a technology-driven educational company that primarily operates in the United States. Their latest offering, the HybriU AI digital education solution, is powered by the groundbreaking OOOK technology and is a patented solution that aims to modernize and enhance educational and workforce training for students. By integrating this powerful technology, Ambow aims to provide students with comprehensive and up-to-date resources, equipping them with the skills needed to thrive in today's rapidly evolving world. It is clear that the pandemic has significantly impacted the education system and teachers as much as students, bringing virtual elements to the classroom. With the need for hybrid education and technology integration, teachers have been burdened with additional responsibilities. Without proper maintenance and understanding, as well as functional platforms, teachers find themselves overwhelmed with technological demands, often taking away from their primary role of teaching. The implementation of AI technology, such as the HybriU digital AI classroom solution, can alleviate these problems. HybriU enables teachers to teach in a natural and easy manner, similar to a traditional classroom setting. The HybriU AI digital classroom is equipped with a student and teacher-tracking camera to ensure that a virtual student is not missing any important information or demonstrations. There are also mics throughout the classroom to pick up student and teacher statements, as well as a podium mic. All of this helps support seamless learning so no student is distracted by poor quality or unable to hear valuable information from a teacher or peers. HybriU’s utilization of OOOK technology enables the creation of personalized content that caters to diverse student populations. A shining example of HybriU's commitment to inclusion is its live subtitle feature and AI-generated voiceover, which allow students to access content in their native language. This feature is a game changer for those in virtual or hybrid learning environments, where language barriers can present significant difficulties. The technology offers benefits beyond inclusivity – students no longer need to dedicate time to taking notes as the AI will take care of that for them. Students can further engage in the learning experience by tagging and commenting on the AI-generated transcript, which is efficiently organized using an AI-powered indexing and tagging system. The tagging system also allows for efficient tracking of students’ progress and areas they may need additional support. These comments provide teachers with real-time feedback that can help with enhancing course materials and teaching style, creating an optimal learning atmosphere for all students. HybriU AI also offers unique features like 3D LED walls, which allow students to view complex models precisely and accurately. This is incredibly useful for disciplines like biology and medicine. Some classrooms also offer screens where students are reflected so the in-person teacher does not miss out on valuable interaction. For students who are being taught by remote teachers, there are O-Screens that offer lifelike, full-body views of the teacher. The online education sector is projected to grow from its 2022 value of $192 billion to $602 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.2% over 2022-2030. The advantages offered by HybriU which are specifically designed to address this new education paradigm of hybrid learning potentially place Ambow Education in the right place at the right time to be a driving force in the industry and propel online learning experiences into the future.

Ambow Education Holding Ltd. is a leading cross-border career educational and technology service provider, offering high-quality, individualized services and products.

Condor Gold confident of getting "a fair price" for La India Mine

Condor Gold PLC

Condor Gold PLC (AIM:CNR, TSX:COG, OTC:CNDGF) CEO Mark Child speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive about the latest developments in the sale of the UK-based mineral exploration and development company's La India Gold Mine in Nicaragua. Child says that around ten companies are currently under NDA with access to Condor's data room, but that the sales process is taking "slightly longer" than the company anticipated but there is a "revolving door" of interest in the mine. He lays out the investment case, highlighting that Condor has meticulously de-risked the project and owns 100% of assets, making it an attractive proposition. Regarding the valuation of the mine, Child says that company Chairman Jim Mellon, who holds a significant stake, has made it absolutely clear that he is determined to secure "a fair price". He also says that while the company has plans in place for all kinds of contingencies, the main objective is selling the assets as Condor isn't geared for in-house mining operations.
