Avel eCare Positions Technology as a Lifeline for Hospital Viability and Patient Care
Innovative virtual care services are transforming ICU management and ensuring rural hospitals keep their doors open. SIOUX FALLS, SD / ACCESS Newswire / June 3, 2025 / As hospital systems nationwide continue to grapple with staff shortages, rising costs, and the ever-pressing demand to improve patient outcomes, Avel eCare is redefining how technology can transform healthcare delivery. Through its innovative telemedicine solutions, including 24/7 ICU support, Avel eCare is helping hospitals increase their patient throughput, reduce costly transfers, and improve revenue cycle management-ultimately enabling more facilities to stay viable and serve their communities. "Our Critical Care service is about more than just monitoring," says Keith Holt, Director of Acute Inpatient Services and Senior Care at Avel eCare. "We bring continuous, comprehensive ICU support to hospitals of all sizes, using real-time data from EMRs, bedside monitors, and integrated systems to deliver expert care and improve patient outcomes-no matter where they are." (Extended interview available here) From major health systems to critical access hospitals with only a handful of ICU beds, Avel's technology makes intensivist-level care accessible at the push of a button. These virtual partnerships allow hospitals to retain patients they might otherwise transfer, directly impacting their census and bottom line. "We've reduced ICU length of stay by an average of 1.75 days and ventilator hours by 13 per patient," Holt adds. "When you look at that over time, across dozens or hundreds of patients, the cost savings-and patient impact-are massive." That impact is measurable. On average, Avel-supported hospitals reduce total hospital stays by 1.55 days, saving $3,548 per admission, and ICU stays by 1.75 days, yielding $5,688 in savings. Each patient who avoids transfer means approximately $15,000 in retained revenue for the hospital. These efficiencies add up quickly, helping facilities of all sizes, from rural hospitals to large urban systems, improve both outcomes and financial performance. At the core of Avel's approach is the intersection of innovation and clinical expertise. "Our goal is to let technology fade into the background so our clinical teams can focus on what they do best: caring for patients," says Mandy Bell, Vice President of Product Innovation. "We've developed one-touch access, real-time data integration, and even in-ambulance telehealth-all tested in our in-house Innovation Lab to ensure seamless, stress-free support." As hospitals look to improve their revenue cycle and operational efficiency, telemedicine has become a strategic asset. "Technology isn't a luxury-it's a necessity," says Dr. Kelly Rhone, Chief Medical Officer at Avel eCare. "We're not replacing hospital staff. We're extending them. And in many cases, we're the reason physicians and nurses stay in their roles longer-because they know they're supported." Avel eCare's impact is more than clinical-it's existential. In an era where rural and urban hospitals alike face closure, Avel's suite of services gives facilities the tools they need to stay open and deliver quality care. Whether it's through ICU support, hospitalist backup, or emergency response integration, Avel is proving that innovation, when paired with deep clinical expertise, can help secure the future of healthcare. "Every second counts in patient care," Bell says. "With the right technology and team, hospitals don't just survive-they thrive." About Avel eCareWith over 30 years of telehealth leadership, Avel eCare delivers expert care when and where it's needed. From ICU and emergency services to behavioral health, hospitalist coverage, and beyond, Avel partners with health systems to extend care teams, improve outcomes, and support long-term sustainability.

Dematic Enhances Scentsy Fulfillment Center With AutoStore(TM) and Warehouse Execution Software
ATLANTA, GEORGIA / ACCESS Newswire / June 3, 2025 / Dematic, a global leader in supply chain automation, recently partnered with Scentsy, an international fragrance company, to transform its facility in Meridian, Idaho. The newly implemented advanced automation system provides improved efficiency, increased picking capacity, and faster order fulfillment. Scentsy's 160,000-square-foot facility features Dematic Warehouse Execution System (WES) software with an AutoStore system (with 20,800 product bins, 100 R5 robots, 16 carousel picking ports, and two conveyor ports) and a pick-to-cart system. The operation performs automated piece picking for e-commerce order fulfillment and allows Scentsy to increase picking capacity to 450 units per hour, nearly a 50% improvement from the 300 units per hour from its previous manual pick line. 'Like our customers, we continuously evolve and adapt. To remain at the forefront and exceed expectations, we transformed our approach so we could ship products faster, more accurately, and with better inventory visibility,' says Paul Klassen, Scentsy chief operating officer. 'Dematic has been a trusted partner throughout this journey, working with us to provide a solution, not just another system. Their expertise helped us embrace automation, enhance efficiency, and better prepare for the future.' Scentsy's inventory continues to grow from frequent new product launches and stocking of discontinued scents. The Dematic solution maximizes storage space, maintains consistent processing speeds, and adapts quickly to fluctuations in demand. Customers receive accurate on-time orders, even during peak periods or new product launches. The solution helps conserve natural resources by reducing paper waste as employees access order information digitally instead of using printed tickets. Additionally, the efficient storage and retrieval process of the AutoStore system minimizes energy use, supporting broader eco-friendly best practices.. 'The trust Scentsy has in Dematic underscores our dedication to providing innovative, scalable solutions that drive business growth,' says Mike Oren, Dematic senior vice president of sales for the Americas region.
