Expansion exemplifies the company’s commitment to meet the highest security and compliance standards

TORONTO – October 12, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Smile CDR Inc. (doing business as Smile Digital Health), a leading health data and integration company, today announced it has passed an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Foundational Technical Review (FTR) and has achieved Amazon HealthLake (AHL) Connector partner status in the AWS Partner Network (APN). Healthcare organizations can expect Smile Digital Health running on AWS to provide a best-in-class data fabric platform along with the confidence that it is meeting various regulatory and compliance requirements in the U.S. and the EU when storing and sharing their sensitive health data via the platform. Smile Digital Health first announced its work with AWS in March, and this expansion represents the continual growth of that relationship.

“Our ongoing work with AWS demonstrates the deep collaboration between our companies, delivering the many benefits of the Smile Digital Health data fabric platform running in a world-class hyperscale environment. Having partner status provides our customers with substantial benefits including additional security, dependability and operational excellence,” said Duncan Weatherston, Chief Executive Officer, Smile Digital Health. “Healthcare organizations — and in turn their patients — are well served by access to our scalable, high-performing, resilient and efficient data fabric platform on the leading cloud infrastructure.”

The expansion and scope of work includes two key elements:

• Becoming an Amazon HealthLake (AHL) Connector Partner, demonstrating the company’s ability to help transform existing healthcare data in real time into the required format, including standard Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR^®) format, so the data can be used across AHL applications and services.
   
• Passing the AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR), which helps identify and mitigate technical risks in solutions built by independent software vendors (ISVs). Smile Digital Health’s solutions were evaluated by a subset of AWS Well-Architected best practices. As part of the review, Smile Digital Health’s reference architecture was approved to be deployed on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Services (Amazon EKS), a managed container service to run and scale Kubernetes applications in the cloud or on-premises, and Amazon Aurora and Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for PostgreSQL to ensure a performant, cost-effective, secure and scalable solution.

“Our customers can expect Smile Digital Health to continuously meet and often exceed regulatory and compliance requirements when storing and sharing their sensitive health data via our data fabric platform. In that sense, we continue to guarantee the highest security and compliance standards,” said James Agnew, Chief Technology Officer, Smile Digital Health.

Smile Digital Health’s work on AWS continues to simplify the interoperability process between various data platforms, allowing for better health journey outcomes between patients, providers and health systems, and reducing information technology barriers.

Smile Digital Health Expands Work on AWS

Signs New Distribution Partners in Three Countries

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. – October 12, 2022 …

Hurricane Ian’s Impact on Direct-to-Consumer Pharmaceutical Fulfillment Exacerbates an Already Vexing Challenge.

MADISON, Wis. – October 12, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

TEC Mailing Solutions, LLC, launches new service to improve the deliverability of life saving, direct-to-consumer pharmaceuticals to track the changes of new mover data.

Just like the waves of an ocean, the population continues to ebb and flow nationally at the rate of thousands of people per day. The migration has been steadily building in Fort Myers for the last decade and now the flow is retracting, as thousands of misplaced households are on the move in a small region. 

No matter how or which way the population flows, it is creating new challenges for cadence-based shippers, those fulfilling subscriptions and more importantly life-saving prescriptions. Residents of Fort Myers who were receiving their medications through the mail will be unable to obtain vital packages. 

The best data source to track new residences and address changes is the USPS National Change of Address database, which maintains move update information for the prior 48 months. Providers like TEC Mailing Solutions have unique features for the pharmaceutical industry that apply to anyone who has moved and filed a change of address with the postal service.

“We’ve been tracking live return data from our Pharmaceutical clients and effectively implementing safeguards to ensure our clients enjoy the best deliverability,” explains President Brian Euclide, President of TEC Mailing Solutions. “Returns due to change of address is a billion-dollar problem. This is a challenge we’re honored to solve.”

There will be lessons learned from IAN. Data will reveal the scale of devastation. Thankfully, there is new thinking and technology from private industry taking these challenges head-on. TEC Mailing’s Verify & Confirm™ product stops orders and packages from going to vacant or abandoned homes, buildings and people who have recently moved. Verify & Confirm™ also finds the current address of those who have filed a change of address. TEC Mailing ensures that each address is not only correct and complete but also current, in a first-of-its-kind implementation, specifically for direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical fulfillment.

About: TEC Mailing Solutions LLC is a Software as a Service (SaaS) provider of name, address hygiene, bulk mail and parcel sortation services for web-to-print, CRM, OEM, ERP, and variable digital printing solutions. TEC Mailing’s services are embedded functions in applications to improve workflow or standalone web portals: MailListCleaner®, MailPreparer™, MailPieceTracker™, ParcelPrep™, and Verify & Confirm are available direct or through a network of resell/referral partners and VARs. Privately held, the corporate office is in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. Find more information at http://www.tecmailing.com or call 866-379-9437.
