Comscore Introduces Brand Safety Options to Combat Misinformation

RESTON, Va., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — As the U.S. 2020 election season brings a likely proliferation of misleading and inaccurate information, both brands and political campaigns are seeking new tools to combat the threat posed by news that lacks credibility.

4-H Launches Opportunity4All, a Campaign to Eliminate the Opportunity Gap for Young People Across America

CHEVY CHASE, Md., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — As the impact of COVID-19 continues to scale, widening education, economic and health gaps are threatening to leave millions of kids behind. 4-H, one of the nation’s largest youth development organizations, is taking a stand with its belief that opportunity should not be pre-determined by any person’s zip code, ethnicity, skin color, or income with the announcement of

Fifty-five million kids face this widening opportunity gap in America hindering them from having equal access to opportunities to reach their full potential. In addition, 12 million kids lack access to reliable broadband internet resources putting them in a position to fall even further behind as many schools move to virtual learning during the pandemic.

Despite these challenges, 4-H believes young people can play a key role in creating a more promising and equitable future for youth, families, and communities across the country, if given the opportunity. And in a recent round of surveys to gain insight on youth perspectives, 4-H found that young people desire to be part of the conversation.

«We believe youth perspectives are so important and a solution to eliminating the opportunity gap because young people come with new ideas and new ways of seeing the world,» says Jennifer Sirangelo, president and CEO of National 4-H Council. «We often look at things through a narrow lens, but for them it’s all new and that newness is a gift that leads to innovation and thinking outside of the box. We have to welcome and encourage them to be engaged and be involved because these issues impact their daily lives. They need to have a seat at the table.»

Opportunity4All will mobilize 10 million young people – their diverse voices and innovative actions – to be part of the discussion to create solutions to the educational, economic and health issues that create opportunity gaps. In addition, the Opportunity4All pledge will rally the support of parents, 4-H alumni, influencers as well as corporate and nonprofit partners across all sectors to share their commitment to ensuring all kids have access to learning resources, experiences and social-emotional support they need to thrive.

By igniting conversation and raising awareness 4-H kicks off Opportunity4All with a convening of youth, experts, and influencers at the Opportunity4All Virtual Forum, an important conversation on the need for creating access, equity and mobility for America’s youth. In addition, some of the nation’s leading experts on youth contributed to a white paper, Beyond the Gap, How America Can Address the Widening Opportunity Gap Facing Young People, providing insights on the impact of COVID-19 and outlining solutions to addressing the opportunity gap for all youth.

Since the onset of COVID-19, the organization has raised over $5 million from partners like, CHS Foundation, Corteva Agriscience, Google, Microsoft, Nationwide, New York Life Foundation, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, S.D. Bechtel Jr. Foundation, TD Ameritrade, UnitedHealthcare, Walmart as well as media value from Comcast/NBCUniversal, Meredith and Outdoor Advertising Association of America to tackle the inequities young people face and evolve 4-H’s delivery, strategies, and programming to meet their needs in this moment.

To raise awareness about the opportunity gap and the Opportunity4All campaign, 4-H also partnered with Public, a purpose-driven agency, to develop compelling creative including digital ads and an animated PSA narrated by Grammy Award-winning singer, 4-H alumna and national spokesperson, Jennifer Nettles.

The organization will continue to host convenings, including a teen townhall and youth summits this fall, and build alliances and partnerships with corporate and nonprofit partners to bring thought leaders together with young people to elevate discussions and offer perspectives on how our country should move forward and create a more equitable future for all.

LexisNexis Risk Solutions Joins Patient ID Coalition in Support of a National Unique Patient Identifier

ATLANTA, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — LexisNexis^®Risk Solutions has joined Patient ID Now coalition to…

ATLANTA, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — LexisNexis^®Risk Solutions has joined Patient ID Now coalition to support accurate patient identification and ensure that patients are accurately matched to their health information across care settings and platforms.

Patient ID Now is a coalition of healthcare organizations representing a wide range of stakeholders committed to advancing through legislation and regulations a nationwide strategy to address patient identification. The Patient ID Now coalition seeks to remove section 510 from the Labor-HHS-Education appropriations bill, allowing HHS to work with the private sector to develop a nationwide patient identification strategy – including adoption of a Unique Patient Identifier – to improve patient care. The founding members of the Patient ID coalition are the American College of Surgeons, AHIMA, CHIME, HIMSS, Intermountain Healthcare, and Premier.

Through LexisNexis^® LexID^® for Healthcare, LexisNexis Risk Solutions uses automated matching to assign unique identifiers to patient records to link together records for the same patient – allowing healthcare organizations to reduce duplication of records and increase interoperability among disparate EHR and other healthcare systems. LexisNexis Risk Solutions partners with healthcare organizations to cleanse and match patient records to ensure safe patient care and smooth workflow, helping combat the industry’s interoperability challenges.

«Patient ID Now has determined that a nationwide patient identification strategy is critical for the healthcare system at large to be able to better assure patient safety throughout the patient’s entire care journey,» said Erin Benson, Senior Director, Market Planning, at LexisNexis Risk Solutions. «We support that mission for the benefit of patients and providers and offer our expertise and solutions to help solve the challenge.»

A lack of widespread operational principles as well as limitations in processes – such as human error and demographic changes – result in inaccurate patient identification. As more data is generated and shared, duplicate patient records and mismatches result in multiple challenges for the healthcare industry. From a safety perspective, patients can receive incorrect diagnoses, treatments, or prescriptions when their healthcare information is spread across multiple files, or misfiled in the wrong record. From a workflow perspective, providers are muddling their way through often incomplete or incorrect patient records, leading to compromised decision-making and wasted resources.

Furthermore, data integrity is essential as the healthcare industry continues to move toward value-based care because it is foundational to enabling preventive strategies, social determinants of health applications, and population health management. Sharing patient information – the right information – across healthcare organizations serving the patient hinges on having a correct and complete patient record for each patient, which will protect patient safety, reduce costs, increase program efficiency, help prevent fraud, and ensure better patient experience. It also means that when a patient requests their own record, they will have more confidence that their healthcare provider is maintaining a complete view of their medical history.

LexisNexis Risk Solutions is proud to be a member of Patient ID Now coalition and supports its mission to develop a nationwide strategy to address patient identification.
