Brentwood, TN -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/15/2015 -- myNEXUS announced that Matthew Chance has joined the company as its Chief Development Officer, while Dr. J. Fred Ralston, Jr., has come aboard as its newest Medical Director. Arriving after a highly successful stint overseeing health engagement initiatives at Cigna-HealthSpring, Chance will contribute to strategic direction for myNEXUS in his role as Chief Development Officer, pursuing further product innovation and the development of value-based health care system network models. With a longstanding interest in finding ways to enhance the relationships between patients and their primary care physicians, Ralston will use his skills and experiences as a policy-involved physician to help myNEXUS enhance its relationship with insurers and their members and physicians.

"We're truly excited to announce that Matthew Chance and Dr. J. Fred Ralston, Jr., have joined the team," myNEXUS CEO McArthur VanOsdale said, "We're honored that these two highly accomplished individuals have decided to sign on and join the myNEXUS mission to improve care and quality while reducing costly readmissions. They are going to contribute immensely to the important work that we do here and we cannot imagine having found two more suitable or capable people."

With a home-based health management service that connects patients more closely to their health care providers and systems, myNEXUS has earned recognition from the Brookings Institution and others for helping to fundamentally transform and disrupt the way health care is provided in the US. The myNEXUS myLINK2Care™ system provides network-connected, in-home monitoring of key health indicators that allows health professionals to catch and avert potential problems before they result in expensive hospital admissions, reducing waste, cutting costs, and keeping patients healthier. This system, combined with myNEXUS's expert management of post-acute care, results in not only cost savings for the health plan, but an improved experience and outcome for the members of the plan.

Thanks to his impressive health industry background, including high-level leadership roles with Cigna-HealthSpring and HealthSpring of Alabama, Matthew Chance will make an especially valuable addition to myNEXUS as its new Chief Development Officer. With the company already enjoying rapidly growing awareness of the value of the myNEXUS health management approach, Chance will help tune its strategic direction and product development efforts to even more closely match the evolving and specific needs of existing and future clients. Throughout his career, Chance has consistently demonstrated great skill at driving revenue growth, building high quality provider networks, and laying down incisive strategic direction, qualities that will prove rewarding to myNEXUS in his work for the company.

For more than thirty years, new myNEXUS Medical Director Dr. J. Fred Ralston, Jr., has combined a commitment to excellence at general internal medicine with a deep interest in health care policy. An extraordinarily engaged medical professional, Ralston has served committees and organizations ranging from local hospital boards to the American College of Physicians, receiving many commendations for his efforts. In addition to actively lecturing on American health care history, policy, and reform topics, Ralston has worked tirelessly to find new ways of building stronger, more health-enhancing relationships between patients and their primary care physicians, a passion that will complement his many other qualifications in making him an invaluable addition to the roster of myNEXUS Medical Directors.

These two important new additions to the myNEXUS leadership team follow a number of others in recent months, positioning the organization for even faster growth and greater refinement of strategy. As recognition grows of the significance and value of what the company has to offer, myNEXUS leaders expect even wider adoption of its services to come.

America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) and myNEXUS Inc., will share ways to improve healthcare in America

Brentwood, TN -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/02/2015 -- myNEXUS, Inc. announces they will be exhibiting at booth 943 at the AHIP conference to be held in Nashville, Tennessee June 3rd-5th, 2015. The myNEXUS team will be available to explain the capitated and delegated benefit management services to attendees of this conference and how it benefits patients, members and health plans. All parties attending the conference should stop by the booth to learn more about myNEXUS, Inc. and how they are uniquely moving healthcare forward with their turn-key solutions for insurance companies.

"Individuals visiting the booth learn how myNEXUS optimizes HEDIS, STARS and other Quality Incentive ratings with the help of enhanced data collection and proactively identified undiagnosed diseases impacting risk adjustment factors. The technology-driven, connected care management services oversee the individual's health, allowing the patient to lead a healthier life while remaining in their own home. Early detection and better data help to achieve this goal," McArthur VanOsdale, CEO and co-founder of myNEXUS, Inc, states.

The Specialty Benefit Management and Remote Digital Health provided through myNEXUS captures and analyzes biometric patient data, using the revolutionary myLINK2Care (TM) system. Clinical algorithms then inform care decisions and generate preventative health recommendations, and doctors use this information to modify treatment plans when needed. The program has been shown to align incentives by reducing costs and preventing ER visits and re-hospitalizations by up to 80 percent.

"myNEXUS is proud to work with America's Health Insurance Plans, the national trade association that represents the health insurance industry. The association provides benefits to more than 200 million individuals through individual, employer-sponsored and government funded plans. myNEXUS believes these individuals will benefit from the use of specialty benefit management and remote digital health and feels the conference will allow them to reach even more in need of these services," VanOsdale advises.

myNEXUS receives daily health information from patients and uses proven intelligence to analyze this data. The goal is to anticipate changes before they occur and make modifications to the treatment plan to minimize or eliminate the effects of the changes. This allows the patient to get his or her health back on track and patients and families have peace of mind, knowing they are being proactive when it comes to their health.

"Everyone benefits when this type of system is used. Health care providers find they are better able to serve their patients, insurers pay out less as re-hospitalizations and ER visits are prevented and patients find they can retain their independence longer. The conference provides a way to share information about this technology with those companies most likely to benefit from it, and myNEXUS is proud to be taking part," VanOsdale proclaims.

myNEXUS invites attendees at the conference, hosted by the Music City Center, to visit booth 943 to obtain literature about the myNEXUS approach and enter the free drawing for a Bose SoundLink Bluetooth Speaker III.

Matt Bassett and Curt Neel join executive team, while Doctors Anthony Cmelak, R. David Heekin, R. Tom Miller, and Chris Semder will provide expertise as Medical Directors, myNEXUS.com reports

Brentwood, TN -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/20/2015 -- Care management specialist myNEXUS welcomed two new Senior Vice Presidents and four new Medical Directors. Formerly of DaVita, Matt Bassett becomes the company's new Senior V.P. of Government Affairs. Most recently of MCMC, Curt Neel joins myNEXUS as its new Senior V.P. of Network Development. Anthony Cmelak, M.D., R. David Heekin, M.D., R. Tom Miller, M.D., and Chris Semder, M.D., F.A.C.C, will serve as the company's new medical directors.

"As awareness grows about the power of the myNEXUS telehealth approach," myNEXUS CEO McArthur VanOsdale stated, "we are thrilled to welcome six highly accomplished individuals to the company. Our new Senior VPs and Medical Directors will help guide myNEXUS through the next stage in the company's development."

The myNEXUS approach uses technology to connect disparate healthcare actors. The company's telehealth system provides home-based monitoring of patients that uploads through standard Internet connections. Trained experts assess data, pointing out any undesirable developments to health professionals. The outcome is more effective healthcare that costs less, because deteriorating health conditions are caught before they develop further.

Arriving at myNEXUS after building his own consulting firm, Matthew Bassett brings a strong history of interfacing with governments at every level. From his new post as Senior Vice President of Government Affairs at myNEXUS, Basset will develop new opportunities for the company and advise policy developments in ways that reflect the company's interests. Bassett's work with dialysis company DaVita made him the clear choice for the position. Prior to DaVita, Bassett served as Chief of Staff of Kentucky's Cabinet for Health and Family Services, working with Governors like Florida's Jeb Bush to push for greater state autonomy for Medicaid programs. His prior work with members of Congress in Washington D.C. included handling health policy issues before the Energy and Commerce Committee.

With a career spanning 30 years in managed care and network development, incoming myNEXUS Senior V.P. Curt Neel will forge new relationships that will extend the fast-growing company's reach. Neel's previous work with managed care company MCMC and cost-management specialist multiPlan singled him out to myNEXUS leaders as the perfect candidate to fill the role of Senior Vice President of Network Development.

In addition to these important additions to the myNEXUS management team, the company is pleased to welcome four new Medical Directors. A graduate of Northwestern and Stanford, Anthony Cmelak, M.D., is a Nashville based clinical oncologist. He is currently the Senior Medical Director of the Department of Radiation Oncology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and was recognized as one of the Top 1% Doctors in America by U.S. News and World Report. At Vanderbilt, he also trains Residents in conducting prospective clinical trials, and has coauthored a variety of research studies exploring cancers of the head and neck.

R. David Heekin, M.D., is an orthopedic surgeon with more than three decades of experience, throughout which he has combined clinical excellence with cutting-edge research. He currently serves as the Medical Director of the Orthopedic Center for Excellence at St. Vincent's Medical Center in Jacksonville, Florida, and is a graduate of the Uniform Services University of the Health Sciences School of Medicine.

New myNEXUS Medical Director Tom Miller, M.D., is a geriatric medicine specialist who previously served in the role for a number of home health companies. Miller's experience as Medical Director and Owner of the Geriatric Consulting Group of Nashville, Tennessee makes him a natural fit for myNEXUS, given both organizations' emphases on home health services. Dr. Tom Miller attended Medical School at the University of Tennessee and underwent Internal Medicine training at Johns Hopkins University.

Finally, Dr. Chris Semder's extensive clinical work with patients suffering from chronic conditions like diabetes and congestive pulmonary disorder will provide myNEXUS with especially appropriate perspective given the potential the company's telehealth system holds for such individuals. Semder is a graduate of Marshall University and currently works as an Interventional Cardiologist at the Louisville Cardiology Group.

MyNEXUS announces co-founder and CEO McArthur VanOsdale has been profiled as a 'Disruptive Healthcare Entrepreneur' by The Brookings Institution

Brentwood, TN -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/08/2015 -- The Brookings Institution recently profiled myNEXUS co-founder and CEO McArthur VanOsdale, labeling him a 'Disruptive Healthcare Entrepreneur' working to improve healthcare in the United States. The Brookings Institution operates as a nonprofit public policy organization based in Washington, DC. The mission of the institution is to conduct independent, high-quality research and make use of that research to provide practical, innovative recommendations to advance broad goals.

"The Brookings Institution strives to strengthen democracy in America while fostering the social and economic welfare, opportunity and security of all Americans. At the same time, they work to secure an international system which is more cooperative, open, and prosperous. The Brookings Institution is proud to be consistently ranked as the most quoted, most influential and most trusted think tank. We are grateful that The Brookings Institution has recognized the innovation at myNEXUS and the attention we are bringing to the technology revolution occurring in healthcare " VanOsdale announces.

VanOsdale, upon graduating from college, began working as a managed-care consultant and frequently tried to work with others to show them their methods were outdated and inefficient. After several years working on the payor side and the provider side, he continuously challenged the system, yet didn't see the changes he knew were necessary. This led to the creation of myNEXUS, a company which monitors and manages patients with chronic disease, in their home, to improve their health care outcomes, and reduce the overall cost of healthcare. Simple steps taken at home allow for the identification of potential problems before they become critical.

VanOsdale explains myNEXUS makes use of analytics to identify members who are at high risk for an emergent and/or costly health crisis. Once identified, these patients are then enrolled in the program which shares information with physicians, health care providers and family members. With use of this program, which is paid for by insurance carriers, re-hospitalizations can be prevented and patients with chronic conditions obtain better outcomes, often remaining independent and in their homes.

myNEXUS acts as a partner, reducing costs, while using technology and data based decision making to optimize the care provided to patients. In the event use of the monitoring prevents costly treatment or a visit to a health care facility, the company shares in the savings obtained by the insurance company. Although this type of health care is new, the company expects to have 500,000 individuals or more by the middle of 2015, as the program delivers results for its partners. The program is currently available to insurers, hospitals and employers with self-insured plans, yet will soon be available to consumers who wish to purchase for themselves or a loved one.

"Successful health care innovations doesn't just decrease costs, they can also completely prevent the need for costly emergency treatments or long-term nursing home stays. This is where myNEXUS excels, by monitoring patients at home and sharing this information with health care providers. The providers then make treatment decisions based on the unique needs of the patient. Doing so reduces or eliminates the need for hospital re-admissions, emergency room visits or unnecessary trips to high-cost health care settings. Visit the myNEXUS blog and read our white papers to learn more about how we are using disruptive entrepreneurship and innovative technology to disrupt the healthcare status quo while improving the lives, care and independence for those with chronic illnesses and their families," VanOsdale recommends.

Company's first white paper provides a concrete, interesting look at the real benefits the myNEXUS remote care management service provided to one challenging patient, myNEXUS reports

Brentwood, TN -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/08/2015 -- myNEXUS, Inc., the creators of the innovative myNEXUS telemonitoring health care management system, announced the publication of the company's first free white paper. The case study describes the impressive results one patient obtained through making use of the myNEXUS system, and it is available at no charge on the company's website. The myNEXUS telehealth technology connects disparate parts of the health care system in coordinated ways, helping to ensure that patients remain on track as they manage their chronic conditions.

"One of the major difficulties faced by those with revolutionary, industry-changing products," myNEXUS President & CEO McArthur VanOsdale said, "is explaining how these fresh, fundamentally different approaches work and why they are so valuable. By going into the details of one challenging situation, our just-published white paper is going to help readers understand just how powerful and important the myNEXUS technology is."

Broadly considered, telehealth is the incorporation of telecommunications and information technologies into the health care field. One of the most fruitful strategies, and the one embodied by the myNEXUS system, is the use of remote health monitoring to allow caregivers and medical experts to keep closer tabs on the progress and habits of patients than they would otherwise. When successfully implemented, this tactic can greatly lower rates of hospital readmissions and complications from chronic conditions, as shown through the proven results of the myNEXUS system.

In the company's new white paper, this phenomenon is played out through the true story of a pseudonymous Vietnam veteran with a number of health problems, from psychological issues like PTSD resulting from military service to high blood pressure, obesity, and other chronic physical conditions. Mr. Smith, as he is called in the study, has many health-impairing habits and performs poorly in taking his numerous daily prescriptions.

After conquering his initial reluctance, Smith agrees to try out the myNEXUS telehealth system. An initial consultation with a Registered Nurse he trusts, results in setting achievable goals, and familiarizing him with using the company's biometric equipment. In the end, the monitoring and feedback provided through the myNEXUS system help Smith improve his habits and achieve a remarkable turnaround in many of his health indicators, including his dangerous blood pressure levels dropping nearly to normal over the course of two months.

By focusing specifically on one detailed, concrete situation, the new myNEXUS white paper will make it even easier than before for readers to understand the workings and potential benefits of the myNEXUS telehealth system. myNEXUS is committed to educating medical professionals and decision makers, as well as the public at large, about the impressive effectiveness of the company's revolutionary product, a drive that has also resulted in the production of accessible videos and other informational assets.

Linking together providers, patients, and health care facilities, the myNEXUS biometric telehealth approach helps patients effectively and consistently manage their conditions, while reducing readmission rates, healthcare expenses and complications.

New video helps patients understand the benefits and workings of sophisticated biometric monitoring system that has proven to reduce rates of complications and cut health-care costs, myNEXUS reports

Brentwood, TN -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/03/2014 -- myNEXUS, Inc., announced the release of a video that introduces and explains the company's powerful telehealth monitoring system. Available at the myNEXUS home page, the video is aimed at individuals and their loved ones and seeks to demystify the technology of telehealth and provide insight into its benefits. The myNEXUS telemonitoring system has been proven to improve health outcomes and bring down healthcare costs for individuals with a variety of chronic conditions.

"Technology is a wonderful thing, but it can also be confusing," myNEXUS representative McArthur VanOsdale, President and CEO said, "Our new video will be an important asset as we seek to educate the public about the incredible power and benefits of our telehealth approach." Readmission to hospitals after major health events is a significant contributor to overall health care costs, and many of these episodes endanger patients unnecessarily. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, for example, nearly twenty percent of those who suffer acute myocardial infarctions will be forced to return to the hospital within thirty days of being released, putting them in further danger and driving up health care costs significantly.

The myNEXUS telehealth system has been proven to substantially reduce the rates of complication and readmissions for people with a variety of health problems, particularly chronic ones such as diabetes, COPD, congestive heart failure and hypertension. The system centers around advanced, but easy to use home-based biometric monitoring equipment that regularly measures key health indicators and, using its own cellular data connection, uploads the information automatically to myNEXUS, where highly trained specialists study these data points with the aid of powerful analytic tools.

This approach ensures that any negative developments are quickly identified, after which proactive clinical intervention takes place. In many cases, relatively simple remediation specified by myNEXUS experts, such as dietary modification or keeping up with medications better, will get individuals back on track, preventing small problems from becoming bigger ones. If these efforts should prove insufficient, individuals still benefit from early detection and the ability of myNEXUS to engage other health care providers or the individual's physician, in solving the problem.

Individuals using myNEXUS receive better-managed, more strategic and productive health care, instead of a recovery or chronic condition management process punctuated by sudden ambulance rides and emergency room visits. The myNEXUS telehealth system has been shown to reduce rates of hospital readmission by up to 80% for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart failure, diabetes, and other common conditions, leading to healthier patients whose care costs less.

The proven results and impressive potential of the myNEXUS system recently attracted attention from MTS Health Investors, one of the nation's leading healthcare-focused private equity firms. A substantial investment from that partner has positioned myNEXUS, Inc., to grow further and meet swelling demand for the company's industry-leading product.

The just-announced video that explains the myNEXUS telehealth system will therefore be an important asset as more patients and health care providers come to take advantage of the system's many benefits.
