WACO, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Decisive Point Consulting Group (“DPCG” or the “Company”), a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business providing Health Information Technology and Patient Safety Technology Integration to the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA), today announced the signing of a contract award supporting the San Francisco VA Health Care System (“San Francisco VA”), San Francisco, CA, under its partnership with CareView Communications Inc. Decisive Point Consulting Group and CareView formed a Partnership to contract directly with VA hospitals to use a variety of CareView products to enhance the services being provided to veterans.

The CareView Patient Safety System facilitates continuous remote patient monitoring of any patient that may be at risk of harm due to fall precautions, behavioral issues, suicidal ideation, etc. The solution leverages an in-room wireless mobile cart with camera, display, and audio capabilities utilizing CareView’s patented Virtual Bed Rails® and Virtual Chair Rails® technologies to improve patient safety. The Virtual Bed Rails® use machine learning to identify when the patient’s movement indicates a fall may be imminent, and subsequently alerts the Safety Technician. Pre-recorded messages in patients’ native language or 2-way audio allow for direct communication with the patient. The system can offer a considerable reduction in sitter labor costs and greatly enhance overall patient safety. This solution can conduct telemedicine consultations and integrate industry standard nurse call platforms once available for integration at the San Francisco facility.

CareView’s innovative Patient Safety System is the only virtual sitter solution in the industry with no audible alarms in patient areas, making it the perfect solution for VA Community Living Centers (CLC’s). Additionally, because patient privacy is important, the CareView System features a privacy option mode that can be utilized when needed, ensuring enhanced safety, security, and peace of mind for loved ones.

Daniel Wilcox, DPCG Systems Engineer, stated, “We are pleased to be working with San Francisco VA and know that our solution will address their current and future needs to reduce patient falls while increasing overall patient safety and staff efficacy. We are looking forward to working closely with our VA partners to integrate the enhanced system capabilities inherent to the system in the San Francisco VA once those disparate capabilities are deployed on site.”

Featured Legacy Business: Beck’s Motor Lodge
2222 Market Street

A familiar, colorful spot on Market Street is Beck’s Motor Lodge, which has welcomed visitors to the Castro since 1958, when the neighborhood was known as the Eureka Valley. In the recent renovation, the guest rooms were modernized, the building was redesigned and a new, fast elevator was installed. The “buzz” about Beck’s also includes rooftop honey beehives, which are helping to combat the global collapse of the honey bee colony.

With travel picking up again as cities here in California and elsewhere move to less restrictive COVID-19 levels, Beck’s is ready to be a home for your friends and relatives who come from out of town. For readers in other parts of the Bay Area, this is also a fun base that’s not far from other Castro adventures.

Skin on the market

The founder / owner Deedee Crossett and her team at Skin on Market have the mission to educate guests about achieving healthy, sexy skin while offering “incredibly good customer service” at the same time. They call it “skinning”.

Crossett explains why she wanted to become a skin care therapist: “I loved the beauty industry when I was growing up, but I didn’t know it was possible to have a career. I went to college and made my career as an entrepreneur, but I struggled with my skin and started looking for answers. I am obsessed with wellness offers and products. I decided to become a beautician and open my own vocational school. Before opening the San Francisco Institute for Aesthetics and Cosmetology, I worked at Nob Hill Spa and trained with various skin care lines before settling on Dermalogica. The training at Dermalogica and the International Dermal Institute is unparalleled and the results speak for themselves. “

Her favorite Dermalogica products are Special Cleansing Gel, Antioxidant Hydrating Mist and Lip Renewal Complex. But think about the extensive line from Skin on Market to find out which one you like best.

Services include 30- to 60-minute facials, waxing, BioActive peels, and more.

Double rainbow ice

Last June’s announcement that Double Rainbow Ice Cream would be returning to Castro with a scoop shop provided a rare uplifting story during the pandemic. Now open in the heart of the neighborhood, the store has quickly become one of the most popular destinations for a sweet treat.

The “delicious story” of Double Rainbow is as follows:

1970s – It’s 1976 and two childhood friends are opening their first ice cream parlor when a double rainbow illuminates the San Francisco sky.

1980s – A little recognition never hurts. Double Rainbow is voted America’s best ice cream.

1990s – The Mayor of San Francisco proclaims Double Rainbow as the city’s official ice cream.

‘Til Infinity – Double Rainbow is still a family business and continues its tradition of making award-winning ice cream with only the best ingredients.

Plant, pudding and organic ice cream are available. One of our favorite flavors is It’s a Goody, with peanut butter ribbons and rich fudge chips swirled in vanilla. But then there is Chocolate & Vanilla Malt, Vanilla & Strawberry Lemon, Mango Tangerine Sorbet and too many others to list here. Don’t forget the shakes like the rich chocolate that combines light and darker flavors for the ultimate delicious drinkable dessert.
