MIAMI, March 2, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Solis Health Plans (Solis) is pleased to announce its accreditation from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), a private, non-profit organization dedicated to improving healthcare quality. The accredited status applies to Solis’ Medicare Advantage HMO plans, indicating to members and providers that the plan is well managed, delivering high-quality care and service. Solis is currently the only new Medicare entrant based in South Florida with health plan accreditation (interim or otherwise) from NCQA.

«NCQA is the gold standard of health care quality assessment and we are proud to achieve this rating,» said Solis CEO Daniel Hernandez. «The accreditation showcases our commitment to providing exceptional plans and service for our members, along with a dedication to continuous improvement.»

Simply stated, an NCQA accreditation is about achieving and maintaining excellence in the member health care experience. Accreditation confirms that standards of quality are met in supporting the health care needs of Solis’ at-risk population through a framework of standards. These standards certify the delivery of quality care and member connections, coordination of care, meeting members’ cultural and linguistic needs, and ensuring the member experience and access to care is of the highest standard.

NCQA accredits and certifies a wide range of health care organizations and manages the evolution of HEDIS® (Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set), the performance measurement tool used by more than 90 percent of the nation’s health plans to evaluate their performance in terms of clinical quality and customer service. HEDIS is a set of standardized performance measures designed to ensure that purchasers and consumers have the information they need to reliably compare the healthcare quality.

NCQA Health Plan Accreditation is a widely recognized, evidence-based program dedicated to quality improvement and measurement. It provides a comprehensive framework for organizations to align and improve operations in areas that are most important to states, employers, and consumers. It’s the only evaluation program that bases results on actual measurement of clinical performance (HEDIS® measures) and consumer experience (CAHPS® measures).

Mitrex’s technology offers architects, developers and buildings owners a cost-efficient energy solution

ETOBICOKE, ON, March 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ –  Mitrex, a GTA-based solar technology manufacturer, is introducing a patented solution that can transform a building’s exterior into a vertical, self-sufficient power system. As part of the company’s commitment to a net-zero carbon future, the immediate focus is on pioneering renewable energy solutions for the construction industry.

The company’s patented building-integrated photovoltaic technology (BIPV) – via solar cladding and glass railing – extends a building’s energy-generating potential from rooftops down to vertical walls. It can be easily installed on new developments, as well as retro-fitted on existing developments. What’s most important is that Mitrex’s products are not only cost-effective, but aesthetically pleasing for building owners and developers.

«Our mission is to be the catalyst that accelerates the adoption of sustainable, energy-generating, human-made structures,» says CEO Danial Hadizadeh. «With residential, commercial and industrial buildings accounting for 40 per cent of annual greenhouse gas emissions globally, it’s clear that developers and buildings owners can play an integral role in curbing emissions by investing in BIPV technology.»

The Mitrex solar cladding materials can retain the same esthetic as its non-energy-producing counterparts, and can mimic various construction materials such as concrete, timber, or stucco. This allows building owners, architects, and developers to embrace and profit from solar energy without compromising beauty.

Renewable energy, especially solar energy, is not a new concept. However, adoption has historically been hampered by poor esthetics, high price tags and slow production. With the continuous increase in the earth’s temperature, proactive solutions – like the use of BIPV technology – are crucial. Various power grids across North America have been compromised in the face of extreme weather due to dated technology. Sustainable, solar-based microgrids have the power to mitigate weather-related power outages, saving cities millions of dollars on power restoration.

«Extreme power outages from weather events can ultimately be avoided if microgrid solutions are implemented,» says Hadizadeh. «In the most recent widespread outage in Texas, 3.4 million homes and businesses were without power for a dangerously long period. Self-sufficient systems not only save hundreds of millions of dollars, but also can prevent or limit the effects of climate change on communities.»

Mitrex’s solar cladding and SolaRail™ are only the beginning. With over 50 projects in the works, the company’s extensive investment into R&D promises a plethora of integrated solar products in the near future, including windows, side paneling and more.

Other key benefits of Mitrex’s solar solutions include:

• Same cost, and in some cases cheaper, than traditional materials while lowering future energy costs
• Seamless solar cell integration results in limitless design and colour options, allowing the technology to blend in with any building’s design
• Potential to claim tax credits and take advantage of government incentives
• Strong environmental impact: 13 million kWh of green energy can be produced from one building in 30 years
• Contributes to LEED points and reduces building emissions since single-function materials become multi-functional
• Excellent wind resistance, high safety standards, bird-friendly
• Year-round fabrication and installation capability supported by an exceptional warranty

About Mitrex
Mitrex strives to be a world leader in the green building sector by researching, advancing and manufacturing integrated solar technology. We provide full turnkey services, combining the creation and installation of the building envelope together with solar energy generating systems. Our mission is to be the catalyst that accelerates the adoption of sustainable, energy-generating, human-made structures. We carefully balance beauty and efficiency. Our belief is that rapid, low-cost, sustainable manufacturing is economically viable, and is the road to a brighter future for humanity.
