The Future of Stationary Energy Storage is Led by Policy and Renewables, Reports IDTechEx

BOSTON, Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Electricity generation from renewable energies is growing on a daily basis and, to integrate their variable nature, energy storage systems are growing in parallel. IDTechEx have investigated the evolution of the energy storage market, forecasting its growth in the next ten years, in the new report: «Batteries for Stationary…

IDTechEx’s forecasted battery installation breakdown by application. Source: IDTechEx, “Batteries for Stationary Energy Storage 2021-2031”

The evolving energy storage market is separated into two branches, Front-of-Meter (FTM) and Behind-the-Meter (BTM). The FTM sector is related to the operation of the electricity infrastructure; therefore, batteries are employed to maintain a smooth and continuous flow of electricity to the consumers. The BTM market instead is the customer side of the market; hence batteries are used by consumers to decrease electricity costs mainly.

The services provided by the batteries are similar most of the time, although on a different scale.

The report «Batteries for Stationary Energy Storage 2021-2031» aims to provide the reader with a clear picture of the current status of the development of these two branches in the main countries currently adopting battery storage systems.

The future adoption of green policies will drive the adoption of renewable energies in both segments of the market, although other parameters like grid infrastructure and the energy sources adopted by countries (e.g. nuclear, coal, and lignite power plant) will play an important role in the adoption of energy storage systems.

To better understand the future evolution of the energy storage market, IDTechEx performed an in-depth analysis of the main countries adopting energy storage systems (including the U.S., China, Japan, Australia, Germany, and others), investigating the latest policies in terms of renewable energy and energy storage, as well as interviewing leader companies in the field of energy storage, to understand the market approach and the possible effect of COVID-19.

The result of this analysis shows a similar but different scenario among the investigated countries. The renewable energy target, with the current status of the grid infrastructure, in consideration of the different types of energy sources adopted by the country, defined a specific scenario for every country. As well as the differences, a clear point has been identified: the stationary storage market is only in its early stages, from both technical and policy aspects.

Blue Shield of California Expands Collaboration with Dignity Health Hospitals to Make Billing and Payment Easier for Patients, Providers

OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Blue Shield of California announced the expansion across California of its innovative program designed to transform the medical payment system into a simple, transparent, and more immediate, retail-like experience for patients and medical providers.

<img id="prnejpg69b6left" title="Blue…

Blue Shield has teamed up with CommonSpirit Health (which operates Dignity Health hospitals) and software startup OODA Health to introduce the high-tech program. The group is buoyed by initial, positive results – the process makes cost share payments more streamlined, which resulted in a 92 percent satisfaction rate from patients who used it.

«Our goal is to make the medical billing process better so providers can focus on delivering care to patients that will improve their health and wellbeing,» said Shayna Schulz, senior vice president of transformation and operations at Blue Shield of California. «We are using the latest technologies and innovations to create a healthcare system that puts the people at the center of it. That is our mission as a nonprofit health plan: creating a healthcare system that is worthy of our family and friends, and sustainably affordable.»

The three organizations launched the «Member Payments» pilot program in September 2019 at two Dignity Health hospitals in Sacramento. The program, initially slated to run for 12 months, grew to include six hospitals by the end of that year.

Now, the program has expanded to 20 additional Dignity Health hospitals throughout California. For Blue Shield of California members who receive care at those facilities, they will experience a faster, more concise, and transparent billing process, including additional options on how they pay for their portion of the bill.

«We want to support our patients through the entirety of their medical journey so they can focus on their healing. This collaboration with Blue Shield of California and OODA does just that by using technology to make patient medical bills easier to understand,» said Steve Scharmann, vice president of revenue cycle at CommonSpirit Health. «An important part of caring for our patients is to ensure they have a seamless financial experience that is equal to the high-quality care they receive at our hospitals.»

The Member Payments program works this way:

Blue Shield of California members receive a consolidated, easy-to-read monthly medical bill from Blue Shield. The patient can choose a payment method for the amount owed – in full or in interest-free installments through their Flexible Spending Account card, credit card, check, or ACH direct deposit connection.
Participating healthcare providers receive help managing the financial responsibility owed by Blue Shield members, improving their financial performance, and reducing time spent on paperwork and tracking down unpaid bills.

As part of the collaboration, Blue Shield of California also has implemented new technologies to reduce manual processes and work more efficiently to help create a more consumer-friendly experience for members and providers.

Seth Cohen, co-CEO and co-founder of OODA Health, added, «We are honored to grow this collaboration to help even more patients navigate their medical bills, especially during this turbulent time. And we’re proud to streamline administration and drive tangible results for our collaborators. This expansion further proves how innovative collaboration can catalyze transformation in healthcare.»

The Member Payment program is a first step toward real-time claims settlement that will make medical billing and payment more immediate and simpler. The effort is part of Blue Shield of California’s Health Reimagined initiative, a comprehensive effort to transform the healthcare system for all.

Save Schaumburg Wetlands – Stop Experior Transport from destroying Schaumburg wetlands

SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Jan.11, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Irving Park and Frontage Road in Schaumburg, IL, has 55 acres of wetland in agricultural use. Recently, residents have been informed that Village of Schaumburg entered into real estate contract with Experior Transport. They intend to build a gas station, trailer parking, warehouse, and truck and trailer repair station. It is said that this company also intends to erect a 140,000 square feet building for offices…

By carrying out this massive development, property zoning will be altered. One resident stated that «the area we live in is unincorporated and is considered a residential area. The construction of this establishment would deprive our community of the very necessities that define a home, safety and comfort».

The air and the environs of Long Avenue in Schaumburg communities would now be at risk for air pollution. NCBI study show that air contamination levels are five to thirty times higher in gas stations located next to residential areas. Another study by Maher Soliman also detected that vehicle repair compounds could be possible cancer-causing agents because air pollution can occur from diesel engines idling for extended amounts of time, along with paint vapors and dust from vehicle body refinishing.

EPA study show that these types of material can settle on the establishment’s parking lots and other impervious surfaces and could stream down when it rains onto the residential properties close by. These polluting materials can exude harmful substances into people’s lungs, their land, and water.

Gas stations provide an abundance of air pollution. The California Air Resources Board’s publication Air Quality and Use Handbook: A Community Health Perspective recommends a minimum of 300-ft isolation between gas stations and other sensitive lands. Lands used for places of residence, schools, day-care centers, playgrounds, or medical facilities are all considered to be in the category of sensitive lands. California’s state is widely recognized as having some of the most effective air pollution control requirements in the nation. Considering this establishment’s proximity to Schaumburg residents, it must be moved elsewhere to meet this criterion.

Another resident stated that «Our community uses private well systems, and the chemicals from the underground tanks of gas could contaminate our water. We have already invested a lot of resources to keep our water clean. with a gas station, and a trucking station so close it will become more costly and more difficult to keep our water safe».

Vehicles driving in and being repaired may also provide discontent and damage to the hearing of these residents as air guns produce noise levels of 104 dBA, and if air chisels are used in body shops, they can emit 112 dBA. For every 3 dB above 85 dBA, the maximum exposure time is cut in half. This means that people cannot be exposed to its sound for protracted periods. People living next to to this massive development, exposed to these immense sound levels, may have challenges with their hearing.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that children have no exposure above 120 dB to protect their ears, and adults also need to be excessively wary. Considering that there are many children in this community, the noise will be both equally irritating and detrimental.

Another point to note is that the wetland is home to many animals. The benefit of wetland to animals is food and habitat for fish and wildlife. The residents also pointed out coyotes, owls, bats, deer, snakes, turtles, and all kinds of birds living in that area. If this land were to be destroyed, where would they go? They would become a threat to the community.

A lot of the homes in this area have been recently bought, because of the outdoor space, nature and quietness of the area. If these commercial facilities are built so close to residential area, the homes’ value will fall drastically, because it’s unhealthy and not ideal to live next to a commercial business that produces harmful pollution day and night.

This is an injustice that must be prevented, considering it will be an immense disturbance to the residents and the lives of the entire neighborhood. When purchasing a house, people expects to live in a calm and quiet area, where after a long day of work, you can finally relax and enjoy the peace of your home with your family. If this gas station is established, along with other facilities, it will affect Long Avenue neighborhoods negatively and all residents will no longer have pleasure in recreational lives. This proposed plan to build a commercial trucking station is not only unnecessary, but it will also be perilous and bothersome.

The residents of Schaumburg love their community and want nothing but to enjoy their surroundings. If this big commercial enterprise comes, their safe haven faces the possibility of becoming non-existent.

Blue Shield of California expande su colaboración con Dignity Health Hospitals a fin de facilitar la facturación y los pagos para los pacientes y los proveedores

OAKLAND, Calif., 11 de enero de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Blue Shield of California anunció la expansión en toda California de su innovador programa creado para transformar el sistema de pagos médicos y ofrecer a los pacientes y proveedores médicos una experiencia simple, transparente y más inmediata similar a la disponible a nivel comercial.

<img…

Blue Shield está colaborando con CommonSpirit Health (que opera los hospitales de Dignity Health) y con la startup informática OODA Health para lanzar este programa de alta tecnología. Los resultados iniciales fueron muy positivos y concluyeron que el proceso agiliza los pagos de la participación en los costos, lo que dio como resultado una tasa de satisfacción del 92 por ciento entre los pacientes que lo utilizaron.

«Nuestra meta es mejorar el proceso de facturación médica a fin de que los proveedores puedan enfocarse en brindar el tipo de atención que mejorará la salud y el bienestar de sus pacientes», dijo Shayna Schulz, vicepresidente principal de transformación y operaciones en Blue Shield of California. «Estamos usando los últimos avances en materia de tecnología e innovación para crear un sistema de atención médica que priorice a las personas. Esta es nuestra misión como plan de salud no lucrativo: crear un sistema de salud que sea digno de nuestra familia y amigos, además de sosteniblemente económico».

Las tres organizaciones lanzaron el programa piloto «Pagos de los miembros» en septiembre de 2019 en dos hospitales de Dignity Health en Sacramento. El programa, que inicialmente estaría disponible por 12 meses, se amplió para incluir seis hospitales a fines de ese año.

Ahora, el programa se ha expandido a 20 hospitales adicionales de Dignity Health en toda California. Los miembros de Blue Shield of California que se atienden en estos centros se beneficiarán de un proceso de facturación más rápido, conciso y transparente, incluyendo opciones adicionales sobre cómo pagar su parte de la factura.

«Nuestro objetivo es apoyar a los pacientes a lo largo de toda su atención para que puedan enfocarse en su curación. Esta colaboración con Blue Shield of California y OODA logra justamente eso al usar la tecnología para simplificar las facturas médicas de los pacientes», dijo Steve Scharmann, vicepresidente de ciclo de facturación de CommonSpirit Health. «Una parte importante de los cuidados que ofrecemos a nuestros pacientes es asegurarnos de que tengan una experiencia financiera transparente que sea igual a la atención de alta calidad que reciben en nuestros hospitales».

El programa Pagos de los miembros funciona de la siguiente forma:

Los miembros de Blue Shield of California reciben una factura médica mensual consolidada y fácil de leer de Blue Shield. El paciente puede elegir un método de pago para el monto adeudado: pagarlo en su totalidad o en cuotas sin intereses a través de la tarjeta de su Cuenta de Gastos Flexibles (Flexible Spending Account), tarjeta de crédito, cheque o depósito directo ACH.
Los proveedores médicos participantes reciben ayuda para administrar la responsabilidad financiera que deben los miembros de Blue Shield, mejorar su rendimiento financiero y reducir el tiempo que dedican a la documentación administrativa y al seguimiento de las facturas no pagas.

Como parte de la colaboración, Blue Shield of California también ha implementado tecnologías nuevas para reducir los procesos manuales y trabajar de manera más eficiente a fin de crear una experiencia más cómoda para los miembros y proveedores.

Seth Cohen, codirector general y cofundador de OODA Health, agregó: «Estamos complacidos de expandir esta colaboración para ayudar a una cantidad mayor de pacientes a entender sus facturas médicas, especialmente en este período turbulento. También es un orgullo agilizar la administración y posibilitar resultados tangibles para nuestros colaboradores. Esta expansión demuestra aún más cómo la colaboración innovadora puede catalizar la transformación en la atención de la salud».

El programa Pagos de los miembros es un primer paso hacia la liquidación de reclamos en tiempo real que hará que la facturación y los pagos médicos sean más inmediatos y simples. Este proyecto forma parte de la iniciativa Health Reimagined de Blue Shield of California, un esfuerzo integral enfocado en la transformación del sistema de salud para todos.
