Podcast Guests Today Ken Sternfeld and Dr. Don Gudenas Ken Sternfeld and the Co-Founder of CareSync Concierge, Dr. Don Gudenas, developed a turnkey Telehealth solution to deliver a culture of patient care, compassion and empathy instead of dispensing prescriptions. https://www.caresyncconcierge.com/ “As a healthcare provider in the concierge medicine field, finding better ways to help patients with diabetes is likely a high priority based on the growing number of Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes each year. For patients with diabetes or heading in that direction, medical oversight and personalized care is crucial to help them stay healthy, safe, and supported. Thankfully innovations in digital technology like remote patient monitoring have given Concierge Physicians who have time with their patients, the ability to leverage those resources to help patients reach their health goals and manage their chronic conditions from the comfort of their homes.” ~CareSync Concierge Topics In Today's Podcast Include How has the use of connected health devices enhanced the world of concierge care ? How can concierge physicians monitor patient progress effectively to produce better patient outcomes without adding costs, staff while seamlessly integrating into existing work load ? How can concierge physicians enhance the deliverables of materials that support their care plans and protocols needed in their practice, without increasing costs ? How can any concierge practice leverage TeleHealth as opposed to Telemedicine ? How can adding a DiaBuddy Experience RemoteCare Solution to your concierge practice increase patient engagement and deliver revenue with No Out Of Pocket Expense ? About Our Guests Ken Sternfeld is a lifelong dreamer who believes that there is more to get out of life when you focus on helping others. As a son of a Pharmacist, he was inspired by the way his father treated his customers when he visited the store in Jamaica, Queens called Merrick Pharmacy. Customers called him ‘Doc' and Ken was proud of his father who was helping members of the community. As a practicing Pharmacist, following in his dad's footsteps, Ken wanted to replicate the personalized patient care by working on ‘Pharmacy Fridays' in the office of one concierge physician group, practicing in Long Island. Working directly with patients, Ken was able to take the time and make the time to help patients within the practice to set a new standard of collaborative chronic care management. Ken expanded the business model as he pivoted during the pandemic to create a cash pay subscription based Virtual Wellness Solution that now delivers Remote Patient Monitoring and Medication Risk Management for patients struggling to deal with their diabetes and other chronic conditions to help them experience a better quality of life. It was with that focus, that Ken set up a new entity called CareSync Concierge to deliver The DiaBuddy Experience, designed for concierge physicians nationwide to help them enhance patient outcomes and increase revenue with No Out of Pocket Expense to their patients or their changes in their practice workflow. Using the experience and tools he used at traditional retail pharmacy as a two time winner of the Paragon Award at CVS and as a member of their Emerging Leader Program, Ken and the Co-Founder of CareSync Concierge, Dr. Don Gudenas, developed a turnkey Telehealth solution to deliver a culture of patient care, compassion and empathy instead of dispensing prescriptions. Ken was awarded the Long Island Business News ‘Innovator of The Year and as a mentor who has a passion for educating the next generation of Pharmacists, Ken was honored as the Preceptor of The Year at the University at Buffalo, University at Colorado Skaggs College of Pharmacy and most recently at the University of Maryland, Eastern Shore School; of Pharmacy. Today Ken lives with his wife Ronni on Long Island and enjoys all the time he can spend with his four wonderful grandchildren.

Peter Schorsch hunkers down with House District 64 Rep. Jamie Grant, which covers parts of north Hillsborough and Pinellas counties. The Tampa Republican is also a co-founder and Senior Solutions Architect of CareSync and a co-founder of LifeSync Technologies. First thing’s first, Grant clears up the name he prefers to go by. Is it James? Jamie? J.W.? The two, who have at times been at odds over various issues, also talk friendships, particularly in the era of divisive politics. Grant acknowledges that conflict is healthy in a friendship, a take he has to take as a lawmaker who has to deal on a daily basis with colleagues with opposing views. Grant also offers an inside glimpse into the dynamics of relationships in the halls of the Capitol. Grant also addresses the Payment Protection Program (PPP) controversy in which some large companies like Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse taking money that was meant for small businesses. Grant explains why he doesn’t blame them for taking advantage of a program they qualified for. Peter pushes back some, pointing out he didn’t apply for PPP funding, but didn’t think it was right because other’s needed it more. On one topic on which there’s little debate, Peter talks with Grant about the challenges facing the Florida economy and the financial hardship that’s bringing to residents and businesses. Grant describes the situation as one that would have been unbelievable even just a couple months ago, likening it hypothetically to a dystopian story like Handmaid’s Tale. Grant offers in this episode a pointed critique of the coronavirus response in this extended interview tackling the virus and government with an occasional personal flair. Special Guest: Jamie Grant.

In the wake of the Blue Button 2.0 Developer's conference, we sat down with Amy Gleason, co-founder of CareSync, and Product Owner of the new "Data at the Point of Care" initiative, to learn how the US Digital Service and Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services is using claims data to improve care for Medicare patients. Amy's nursing background, family experience with the medical system, and unique perspective on electronic health records have made her a uniquely qualified patient advocate and champion of data-driven care.

To see all the reviews, go to this article. App of the Week: CareSync By CareSync Available for iPhone, iPad, Android and on the web. CareSync is one of my very favorite apps, which helps you organize your family’s medical records. The app is free, but I choose to pay for some of the premium features to manage my son’s medical information. The paid version allows CareSync to gather, summarize, and organize records and make these records accessible from any device or computer. My son has a life-threatening medical condition and has been hospitalized over 100 times.  It is vital he has his medical history and records with him at all times. He’s now in college and lives in a dorm. CareSync has allowed him to be this independent! He simply pulls up the app and hands it to the EMTs or doctor, which enables them to treat him appropriately. The app also stores medication names and dosages and has a medication reminder feature. All records are searchable and are arranged in an easy-to-read timeline. Tech Tip How to charge your phone faster. Your phone will charge much faster if it is not searching for WiFi or receiving texts, notifications and phone calls. Do this by turning your phone all the way off. If you don’t want to turn off the phone, put it on airplane mode.
