Tiziani Whitmyre Rebrands Massachusetts Biotechnology Council

SHARON, MASSACHUSETTS, October 7, 2009 – Tiziani Whitmyre, Inc., a Boston-area marketing services firm, has completed a brand development and corporate identity program for the Massachusetts Biotechnology Council (MassBio).

MassBio used Tiziani Whitmyre’s brand development process and design services to create a logo and brand color palette that embodied the organization’s new strategic vision and direction.

“The new brand identity supports the new strategic direction of the organization as laid out by our 2015 Report,” said Robert K. Coughlin, President and Chief Executive Officer, MassBio. “It also better reflects our commitment to improve and evolve to best meet our members’ needs. We are an organization that convenes and connects, that brings together industry leaders to teach and learn. Our new branding represents and communicates these attributes. It gives us a recognizable and memorable new brand identity that will support the achievement of our goals in the years ahead,” Coughlin said.

“Life sciences is a major driver of economic growth in our state as well as in the quality of life for people around the world,” said Rick Whitmyre, president of Tiziani Whitmyre. “In accepting this assignment, we recognized that MassBio’s new corporate identity must be as powerful as the organization’s new vision and mission.”

Incorporating a stylized icon that suggests molecular structure, Tiziani Whitmyre created a mark that reflects MassBio’s biotechnology focus, plus suggests its unique attributes of connection, networking, and advocacy.

“When the logo is combined with the new blue, green, and yellow color palette, the brand identity embraces the optimism and vibrancy of the industry plus the ideals and values of the organization,” said Whitmyre.

Tiziani Whitmyre executed the new corporate identity across business materials (business card, letterhead, envelope, and PowerPoint template), Website, and organization publications. A corporate identity style guide was produced to ensure disciplined application of the brand across all future business and marketing services materials.

NEWTON, MASS. – November 14, 2007 – A free white paper is now available to help hospitals prepare for new Joint Commission (formerly JCAHO) accreditation requirements and unannounced surveys at: http://www.eheinc.com/jcaho.htm.

Titled “Continuous Joint Commission Compliance: Responding to the 2006 Unannounced Survey Policy within the Environment of Care” and authored by EH&E, a Newton, Mass. based environmental engineering and consulting firm, the white paper reviews the common barriers to continuous compliance that EH&E staff encountered at several hospitals and the innovative solutions implemented to address them.

“Hospitals are well aware of the high level of activity on all fronts that precedes a scheduled Joint Commission audit. With the advent of unannounced surveys, activities such as facility inspections, document reviews, and educational programs now have to be repeated often,” said Jack McCarthy, President and co-founder of EH&E. “Healthcare organizations nationwide are trying to cope with implementing these resource-intensive preparations on an ongoing basis without potentially compromising patient care.”

Drawing on the direct experience of EH&E personnel managing the Environment of Care program at several large healthcare institutions, this white paper offers insight into common areas of vulnerability and offers practical ideas for cost-effective solutions. The paper will be interesting and informative to all those faced with meeting the latest challenge of unannounced surveys, including hospital administrators, safety officers, and laboratory personnel.

Free White Paper Offers Advice for Marketing Executives

SHARON, MASS. – September 5, 2007 – A free, informative white paper titled “The Five Deadly Sins of B2B Marketing” is available to help marketing executives avoid money-wasting, product-killing, and even career-ending mistakes that others have made in the past.

“The Five Deadly Sins of B2B Marketing,” outlines common mistakes that occur in major “business to business” (B2B) marketing disciplines, including Internet marketing, advertising, public relations, graphic design, and corporate and product branding strategies.

“We offer this white paper to generate new ideas about achieving marketing success,” said Rick Whitmyre, president, Tiziani Whitmyre Inc. “It’s designed to help companies achieve maximum impact and results from their precious marketing dollars.”

The five deadly sins are described as:

Forgetting the Audience – Don’t assume. Know the decisions makers and take the time to target the customers according to the buying process.

Thinking Tactics First, Not Strategy – Use your strategic business plan as the foundation to deliver maximum communication impact.

Overestimating the Power of Creative – It’s the message as well as the medium. Positioning is critical to winning creative.

Underestimating the Power of Your Website – Utilizing the Web as the front end of your business will generate scores of qualified leads and sales.

Misunderstanding Public Relations – Papering the walls of editors’ offices with news releases won’t get results. Frequent editorial contact and relationship building will produce dramatically more effective news coverage.

New, Free White Paper Helps Hospitals Prepare for Unannounced Joint Commission Audits

NEWTON, MASS. – June 19, 2007 – A new, free white paper is available to help hospitals prepare for unannounced Joint Commission (formerly JCAHO) audits of Environment of Care (EC) programs. The white paper details how Cape Cod Hospital (CCH) officials achieved compliance in anticipation of future audits.

Download the free white paper, “Cape Cod Hospital’s Transition to Continuous Compliance Status within the Environment of Care,” at www.eheinc.com/cchcasestudy.htm.

In an effort to encourage hospitals to maintain a state of continuous compliance, the Joint Commission (formerly JCAHO) last year announced a new policy of conducting unannounced surveys. The policy encourages institutions to strengthen and maintain their EC programs in a constant state of readiness. To comply, facilities are finding that a higher level of coordination is needed among all EC departments to ensure that all the necessary data collection and reporting deadlines are met.

In the white paper CCH officials, including the Manager of Communications & Emergency Management and the Senior Director of Ancillary Operations and Safety, share details of the new systems and processes developed by CCH during its EC program upgrade.

The CCH officials also describe the implementation of EH&E’s web-based EC regulatory compliance solution, eH&E-Healthcare, as a means of providing centralized access to documents and data, as a source of policy and plan templates, databases and reporting tools – as well as direct contact with EH&E’s EC consultants.

Advanced Instruments to Feature the Anoxomat Mark II Anaerobic System at the ASM 107th General Meeting

HOUSTON, TEXAS, — May 7, 2007 — Advanced Instruments’ subsidiary, Spiral Biotech, will show the Anoxomat™ Mark II anaerobic system for the cultivation of anaerobic, micro-aerophilic, and capnophilic bacteria in laboratories at The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) 107th General Meeting, May 21-25, at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Toronto, Canada.

The Anoxomat Mark II’s automatic jar evacuation/replacement technology is an excellent alternative to the use of anaerobic chambers and gas bags currently used in clinical laboratories.
“The Anoxomat Mark II creates microaerophilic and anaerobic conditions quickly – delivering significant advantages for clinical laboratory managers. Moreover, managers report that the Anoxomat delivers significant savings in terms of consumables, time, effort, and money versus anaerobic jars, anaerobic glove cabinets, or CO2 incubators,” said Anthony Pappas, National Sales Manager, Advanced Instruments.

According to Pappas, one user reported saving “a considerable amount in gases – perhaps a quarter” of what the laboratory used previously.

The Anoxomat is also fast and easy to use, makes the work process more flexible, and its built-in quality assurance guarantees reliable results, Pappas added.

A Los Angeles, California based user said, “Because of the way the Anoxomat jar works, I can open it up, take out a sample, and make it anaerobic again very fast.”

Benefits of the Anoxomat Mark II system include:

Rapid achievement of anaerobic conditions, reaching anaerobiosis as quickly as one to three minutes as opposed to one to four hours for gas bags or chambers,
Repeatable environmental conditions, with gas mixtures remaining consistent within 0.5 percent of desired values,
Substantial cost-of-ownership savings versus the expense of consumables, pre-reduce media, and ongoing costs involved with chambers and gas bags,
“Walk-away convenience” and ease of use due to the Mark II’s new, intuitive software and touch-screen interface,
Automatic quality assurance programming features that ensure an airtight status, warn of pressure leaks, and bind any residual oxygen after evacuation cycling, and
Unmatched flexibility allowing users to take plates in and out of jars and return to anaerobic environments in minutes rather than hours.

Anoxomat’s Excellence in Technology

The Anoxomat system is highly efficient and cost effective at cultivating pathogens and attaining growth performance that easily equals or exceeds that of chambers or gas bags.

Each Anoxomat cycle involves an evacuation phase, followed by replacement using an oxygen-free gas mixture. One cycle achieves 70% to 80% removal of the original atmosphere and gives a microaerophilic environment in one minute. Three cycles achieve an anaerobic atmosphere in less than 3 minutes.

A built-in quality assurance system checks for leaks before incubation. The system also checks whether the catalyst is capable of achieving the desired conditions and warns you if there’s a threat of gas failure.

The resulting gas mixture stays well within 0.5% of the desired value. This high precision, combined with the well-known reproducibility of these conditions, gives microbiologists a strong tool to draw accurate conclusions from repeated findings, Pappas said.

The Anoxomat Mark II Anaerobic System is immediately available from Spiral Biotech. For more information, visit Advanced Instruments, Inc. at the ASM 107th General Conference in the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, May 21-25, in booth #923. Or, reach Advanced Instruments or Spiral Biotech on the Web at www.aicompanies.com or by phone at 1-800-554-1620 or 1-781-320-9000.

New Safe Lifting “Library” Opens Its Doors

– Web-based repository will serve as a global clearinghouse for information about safe lifting and injury prevention practices for nurses and other healthcare workers –

Franklin, MA – March 7, 2007 – Liko, Inc., pro bono sponsor of the healthcare industry’s popular “Safe Lifting Portal” injury prevention site, has announced the addition of a new “Library” section to the site. The Safe Lifting Library is designed to facilitate access to information ranging from nursing injury research studies to contemporary articles and legislative initiatives on the broad topic of preventing caregiver injuries incurred when lifting or repositioning patients.

The primary mission of the Safe Lifting Library is to help the staff of hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare facilities locate the background information and resources necessary to justify, initiate, and maintain safe patient handling programs.

Secondarily, the library is also geared toward meeting the needs of ancillary groups such as facility insurance providers, workers’ compensation agencies, risk management firms, and government organizations with an interest in driving down nursing injury rates. At present, according to NIOSH statistics, nurses and other caregivers in the U.S. are among the most likely to incur musculoskeletal injuries during the course of their work.

According to Brian Wright, Liko’s Vice President of Marketing and Education, “The need for information related to safe lifting is growing, not shrinking, as many more healthcare facilities struggle to get aboard the safe patient handling movement. Many times individuals are assigned the task of leading a team or gathering return-on-investment data for management, and we feel confident the Safe Lifting Library will dramatically simplify that task. While search engines are powerful research tools, they can require many hours of work to filter through the published resources and identify the most valuable items. By consolidating safe lifting citations onto a single site and making the information accessible to a worldwide audience, we thus further increase the chances that hospitals and nursing homes will be successful in their injury prevention efforts.”

The Safe Lifting Library contains listings of books, articles, and e-links, and is accessible via www.safeliftingportal.com/safeliftinglibrary.

About Liko
Liko is one of the world’s leading suppliers of patient lift and transfer solutions. The company’s products include mobile lifts, overhead ceiling mounted systems, and a variety of injury prevention solutions. For more information on the Safe Lifting Library or Liko’s sponsorship of the Safe Lifting Portal, contact Liko Inc., 122 Grove Street, Franklin, MA 02038; telephone (888) 545-6671 or (508) 553-3993; fax (508) 528-6642; or visit the Liko website at www.liko.com/na.
