Nation’s Leading Private Flood Insurance Provider to Continue Writing New Policies During Government Shutdown, Enabling Continuation of Property Sales Across the Country
ST PETERSBURG, Fla., Sept. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Neptune Flood, the largest provider of flood insurance in the United States, will be open for business and continuing to write policies in 48 states plus Washington DC if the US Federal Government shuts down on September 30, 2023, halting the issuing and renew flood insurance policies issued by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
As Neptune is a private alternative to the NFIP, it is unaffected by the looming shutdown and can continue writing new flood insurance policies.
“Neptune urges Congress to work together to fund the government and to prevent a shutdown of critical FEMA activities like the NFIP program as the program plays a critical role in helping protect homeowners from the catastrophic risks of flooding,” said Trevor Burgess, Neptune’s CEO. “The National Association of Realtors alerted Congress that a government shutdown could jeopardize up to 1,300 property sales per day that rely on the NFIP for a mandatory flood insurance policy before closing. Neptune will be up and running through any shutdown, ready to write flood insurance across the United States.”
Neptune offers higher coverage limits than the NFIP and optional coverages that improve upon the standard flood insurance policy. Its two-minute, easy quote-to-bind process lets agents and consumers get coverage fast.
Consumers with home closings or refinancing needing flood insurance can access Neptune at www.neptuneflood.com or via their local insurance agent. Neptune has no waiting period for real estate-related transactions, including new purchases and refinancing.
“Neptune is large enough to help tens of thousands of additional American homeowners in case of a government shutdown. We can help home buying stay on track,” said Neptune’s Chief Customer Officer, Jean-Luc Eckstein. “Neptune protects over 165,000 homes and businesses with bank-accepted private flood insurance, and our team is ready to support agents and consumers in need.”
La última actualización es parte de objetivos más amplios para crear la primera plataforma de datos digitales unificada de la industria para pruebas descentralizadas e híbridas.
ROCKVILLE, Md., 27 de septiembre de 2023/PRNewswire/ — Emmes, una organización de investigación por contrato (CRO) global de servicio completo dedicada a apoyar el avance de la salud pública y la innovación biofarmacéutica, anuncia la incorporación de capacidades de telesalud dentro de Advantage eClinical. La nueva aplicación significa que cualquier visita programada puede volverse virtual con videollamadas aumentadas directamente a través de la plataforma y los pacientes iniciando sesión a través de su portal de participantes existente. Advantage eClinical está diseñado para permitir una experiencia simple e intuitiva que se adapta perfectamente a la vida cotidiana de los participantes y los sitios del estudio.
La incorporación de capacidades de telesalud es parte de un plan de desarrollo mucho más amplio para la plataforma de datos clínicos de tercera generación de Emmes. La visión de la empresa es crear la primera infraestructura de prueba digital unificada y flexible que minimice las interrupciones para los sitios y los participantes y sea más accesible. Nuestra plataforma única y flexible se adapta a todas las modalidades de prueba (tradicionales, descentralizadas, incluidas las híbridas y totalmente virtuales), así como a las necesidades de los pacientes, los patrocinadores y los sitios. También incluye todas las tareas, desde la captura, limpieza y monitoreo de datos hasta la gestión del flujo de trabajo, el seguimiento de muestras e incluso herramientas de participación y evaluación clínica.
“Lo que estamos construyendo con Advantage eClinical es más que un EDC o eCOA/ePRO. Es una plataforma para acelerar la entrega de todo tipo de diseños de prueba a través de un sistema modular unificado. El 90% de los encuestados en el Estudio de Percepción e Ideas del Centro de Información y Estudio sobre la Participación en Investigaciones Clínicas (CISCRP) 2021 enfatiza la importancia de tener opciones para completar las visitas del estudio, como visitas virtuales y domiciliarias. Al eliminar la necesidad de que los patrocinadores adquieran y establezcan sistemas de ensayos descentralizados (DCT) de puntos adicionales, espero que más estudios ofrezcan opciones centradas en el paciente para que participen“, comentó Ching Tian, director de innovación de Emmes.
Ashley Davidson, vicepresidenta asociada de operaciones y gestión de productos de Emmes explicó que la aplicación de telesalud simplifica mucho el flujo de trabajo para el personal del sitio porque toda la información está en la pantalla al mismo tiempo, incluidos los formularios de evaluación y los registros de los pacientes. Y añadió: “Da esa sensación del mundo real de una visita en persona y permite tomar notas y verificar registros simultáneamente. En un nivel más práctico, operar un diseño de prueba descentralizado o híbrido significa que también podemos abrir las pruebas a grupos más diversos de participantes, lo que ha sido un gran impulso por parte de los reguladores“.
Advantage eClinical está basado en la nube y cumple con 21 CFR Parte 11, GDPR e HIPAA. Está disponible como producto independiente (software como servicio (SaaS)) para cualquier cliente biofarmacéutico y CRO, y ha respaldado más de 1.000 ensayos, para casi un millón de pacientes en más de 70 países, abarcando más de 31.000 sitios de ensayos clínicos.
Acerca de Emmes Fundada hace más de 45 años, Emmes es una organización global de investigación clínica de servicio completo dedicada a la excelencia en el apoyo al avance de la salud pública y la innovación biofarmacéutica. Entre los clientes de la empresa se incluyen numerosas agencias e institutos del gobierno federal de EE.UU. y una amplia gama de empresas de biotecnología, productos farmacéuticos y dispositivos médicos en todo el mundo.
