EHNAC Accredits First Two Organizations for Data Registry Accreditation Program (DRAP)
FARMINGTON, Conn., Nov. 09, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission (EHNAC), a non-profit, federally recognized standards development organization and accrediting body for organizations that electronically exchange healthcare data, announced today that two organizations – Alpha II, LLC and FIGmd, Inc. – have completed the accreditation process for its Data Registry Accreditation Program (DRAP).
In response to the privacy and security challenges of healthcare data submission of this kind, the comprehensive third-party review provides an additional level of confidence for organizations that are under industry competitive pressures to demonstrate the rigor and structure of the registry database as envisioned and supported by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The program is designed for data registries that provide these services to their stakeholders which can include health information exchanges (HIEs), regional extension centers (RECs) as well as other healthcare providers, healthcare payers, CMS and other government and state entities.
“We’re confident that the need for registries by institutional and professional providers, specialists and their trade associations, healthcare payers, federal and state governments will explode in the years ahead,” said Lee Barrett, executive director of EHNAC. “To coincide with that, it is imperative to determine that the registries that are being chosen to use have the necessary protections in place to handle the many privacy and security challenges that they will face. When it comes to health data privacy and security, the risks are much too high to assume that everything is up to par – it is much better to ensure it is on the frontend by using an accredited entity that has been reviewed by a third-party.”
As beta participants throughout the consultative and consensus-driven process of program development, Alpha II, LLC and FIGmd, Inc. were the first to undergo evaluation on their compliance with the criteria and receive full accreditation status for the two-year timeframe.
“Being one of the first organizations to become accredited for EHNAC’s Data Registry program and participating on the development committee was an important experience for Alpha II, as it allowed us to play an integral role in not only shaping of the program itself but also preparing the initial criteria,” said Jan Powell, CEO of Alpha II. “We’ve already been EHNAC accredited for HNAP-EHN, so it made perfect sense that we demonstrate our continued commitment to the highest standards in data privacy, security and compliance with our newest product – Alpha II PQRS Registry.”
“As an increasing number of customers rely on our registry platform as their solution of choice for launching and scaling clinical registries, it was important to us that we showcase our commitment to the highest levels of data security and protection,” said Sanket Baralay, president and CEO of FIGmd. “This EHNAC accreditation was a tremendous accomplishment for our organization, and we see it as a way to ensure trust in the marketplace.”
EHNAC’s Data Registry Accreditation Program includes the criteria, standards and framework for creating a core set of requirements for compliance. In addition, DRAP:
- Ensures stakeholder trust for managing the registry credentials used between exchange users;
- Reviews the key functions of structure, portability, interoperability, clinical integration, compliance monitoring, reporting and industry certification/accreditation; and
- Serves as a baseline standard for stakeholders to assure compliance with CMS requirements and guidelines.

Fuisz Announces Intention to Divest Key E-Commerce Patents Addressing E-Commerce Integration With Product Suppliers
Miami, FL, Nov. 09, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fuisz LLC today announced its intention to divest certain e-commerce patents addressing e-commerce integration with product suppliers.
These comprise a family of three issued patents, including: US 7,962,367 (the “‘367”): US 8,255,379 and US 8,620,756 (each titled, “Method and apparatus for permitting stage-door access to on-line vendor information”) (the “756”). The underlying application was filed in March 1999.
Joseph Fuisz, member Fuisz LLC, commented: “ The ‘756 is directed, inter alia, to a product supplier system obtaining information about consumer preferences and product purchase trends from an on-line vendor system. In an era of increased importance of on-line sales, the system described in the ‘756 is a needed tool for product suppliers.
The ‘367 is directed towards the on-line vendor system itself where the on-line system is dynamically linked to a product supplier database. These brief descriptions are of course qualified with reference to the patents themselves. These patents are subject to certain license obligations.”
Richard Fuisz, member Fuisz LLC, stated: “The prescience of the systems described in these patents together with the subsequent growth of e-commerce make particularly valuable intellectual property. We invite interested parties to make a statement of interest.”
Fuisz LLC is a private technology company originated by the Fuiszes. The Fuiszes have made substantial contributions in drug delivery including orally dissolving tablets and novel particle coating systems at Fuisz Technologies; inventing and developing thin film drug delivery technologies at Kosmos Pharma and MonoSol Rx, as well as independently developing extruded sheet technology and diagnostic applications. Fuisz has extensive experience working with big and specialty pharma, as well as large consumer products companies. Fuisz has its headquarters in Miami. www.fuisz.com

Gemalto research reveals rigid software licensing and delivery options are frustrating today's enterprise users
AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, Nov. 9, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653), the world leader in digital security, today announced the publication of its State of Software Monetization report. Survey results reveal that enterprise software customer demands are evolving and software vendors and intelligent device manufacturers need to adopt flexible and adaptable licensing and packaging techniques in order to meet these needs and generate more revenue opportunities.
"The way that software is consumed is changing – whether users only want certain features, to use it on the device of their choice, or only want to pay for what they use," said Shlomo Weiss, Senior Vice President, Software Monetization at Gemalto. "Independent software vendors (ISVs) have to keep up with the changing demands of their customers. We see that piracy, reverse engineering, and deliberate and unintentional misuse are all still monetization concerns for ISVs. However, now more than ever, delivering software in ways that customers want to consume it is critical for creating a user experience that sells."
Expectations from ISVs are high
The research reveals that the vast majority of respondents (85%) think software vendors need to constantly adapt to evolving market needs. More specifically, 83% of enterprise respondents said that flexible software packaging and accessibility across multiple devices are extremely important to them. In addition, four out of five respondents believe that software needs to be future-proof to be successful.
ISVs face software monetization challenges
ISVs – including intelligent device manufacturers – are still finding monetizing their software challenging, especially including back office tasks and licensing enforcement. Only one in ten ISVs reported no licensing operations challenges. Top back office issues included:
- Cost of renewing and managing licenses (87%);
- Time spent renewing and managing licenses (83%);
- Time and cost spent on non-product-related development (82%); and
- Limited visibility into how products are being used (68%).
Enterprise software users are frustrated
Enterprise software consumers expressed their frustration with traditional, rigid software licensing, packaging and delivery options. They are increasingly looking for online software delivery, metered usage and device-agnostic licensing. Only 10% of enterprise respondents claimed that their organization is not experiencing challenges with their software licenses. Among the remaining respondents, top licensing challenges included inflexible license agreements, long customer on-boarding and lost licensing keys. Top software license preferences included:
- Enterprise licenses (59%);
- Site licenses (45%); and
- Concurrent-user licenses (40%).
Licensing compliance remains a concern
Compliance – whether intentional or unintentional – is still a primary concern among ISVs. Four-fifths of ISV respondents worry about unlicensed software use, up from about three-quarters in 2012. Among unlicensed software usage, ISV respondents said that their top concerns were:
- Competitive theft of intellectual property (59%);
- Intentional licensing agreement violations (56%); and
- Software piracy (48%)
At the same time, almost half of enterprise respondents admit to being non-compliant with a software agreement. When asked about how ISVs could improve their services:
- 80% think software vendors could provide more clarity around processes/audits; and
- 72% think software vendors could improve usage tracking/audits.
Commercial software monetization solutions are worth implementing
Of the enterprise users who had implemented a commercial software monetization solution, two-thirds were up and running in less than six months.

Demographics of the state of software monetization report
The State of Software Monetization Report includes the opinions of 600 enterprise software users and 180 independent software vendors (ISVs) about the needs and challenges related to software licensing and packaging. Gemalto worked closely with technology market research specialists at Vanson Bourne to develop and conduct the survey, which targeted ISVs with at least 10 employees and enterprise organizations with 500 or more employees from DACH (Germany, Austria and Switzerland), France, Japan, U.K. and the U.S
Background on Gemalto's Sentinel Software Monetization solutions
Gemalto, through its acquisition of SafeNet, is the market-leading provider of software licensing and entitlement management solutions for on-premises, embedded and cloud-based software vendors. Gemalto's Sentinel is the most trusted brand in the software industry for secure, flexible, and future-proof software monetization solutions.

MISTRAS Brands Its Latest Bridge Monitoring and Inspection Solution Into New StructurAlert(TM) Name
PRINCETON JUNCTION, N.J., Nov. 6, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MISTRAS Group, Inc. (NYSE:MG) is pleased to introduce StructurAlert™ as the new brand for its advanced line of structural health monitoring and asset protection solutions for bridges. StructurAlert™ encompasses MISTRAS Group's entire family of structural health monitoring solutions, which have globally monitored bridges and other important public and privately owned infrastructure assets for over 25 years. StructurAlert™ uses proprietary technology to continually assess, alert, and report on the structural and operational integrity of bridges in real-time, to ensure public safety, extend useful life, minimize downtime, and reduce the need for physical inspections and capital expenditures.
Physical changes and deterioration occurring within aging infrastructure assets can typically be measured and "heard" before they can be seen. StructurAlert™ deploys world class acoustic emission (AE) technology using strategically placed sensors that "listen" for signs of deterioration before it is identified through visual inspections. Additional system sensors are installed to detect and measure vibration, strain, tilt, displacement, and temperature. Collectively, each active sensor transmits data into StructurAlert's™ expert system software for the early detection of damage. StructurAlert's™ software also provides user-mandated alarms, notifying designated personnel on their mobile devices of any occurring trouble.
StructurAlert™ is designed to monitor multiple bridge types, including cable-stay, post-tensioned, concrete, and steel bridges, ranging from brand new to "structurally deficient." By actively monitoring a bridge's health status and structural inconsistencies, StructurAlert™ generates quantifiable cause and effect data from critical locations, pinpointing the exact location of internal and/or external damage, allowing bridge engineers to apply immediate corrective action.
StructurAlert™ is currently installed on many of the world's important bridges in California, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Virginia, plus several bridges throughout Europe. StructurAlert™ was developed by MISTRAS Group, incorporating over 25 years of bridge monitoring experience to enhance key bridge performance factors and accurately identify corrosion, weld cracking, wire breaks, and bolt snapping.
An explainer video is available detailing how the StructurAlert™ system works and how it can help bring bridge owners piece of mind. Watch StructurAlert™ in action at www.structuralert.com.
