HPD Builder 2.2 – Full Implementation of HPD Open Standard Version 2.2

Two years in development, Health Product Declaration Collaborative (HPDC) has launched the latest update to its HPD Builder online reporting system. Introducing the Supplier HPD Extension, HPD Builder 2.2 greatly simplifies the work of both manufacturers and their suppliers to create Health Product Declaration© (HPD) reports. HPD Builder 2.2 also launches the full implementation of the HPD Open Standard version 2.2. The HPD Open Standard gives manufacturers a widely-accepted method for responding to requests for ingredient and health information from architects, designers and building owners – to enable the selection of building products featuring transparency in reporting and optimization of ingredients for health. Over 6,200 HPDs have been published to date, representing over 20,000 building products from 500+ manufacturers.

“The innovations in HPD Builder 2.2 greatly reduce the cost and complexity to gather and understand chemical ingredient information from the supply chain, making it much easier, especially for smaller firms that do not have dedicated sustainability resources and cannot afford consultants to prepare these reports,” commented Wendy Vittori, executive director of HPDC. “For many manufacturers transparency reporting has been a daunting proposition, because just getting started has required a detailed understanding of their entire supply chain together with expertise in chemical ingredient reporting. With the improvements in HPD Builder 2.2 it is easier than ever to gather and report this information.”

HPD Builder 2.2 provides full automation of manufacturer-supplier requests and seamlessly integrates data entry from multi-tiered supply chains. The Supplier HPD Extension is a secure, custom-designed portal that tailors HPD reporting requirements to the subset needed by suppliers. Use of the Supplier HPD Extension is included in a manufacturer’s HPD Builder membership, and once invited by a manufacturer, suppliers gain online access to the tools at no additional cost.

The Supplier HPD Extension highlights efficiency of data entry and management for suppliers, offering automated bill of material uploads. Custom formulations and configurations are easily managed with the flexible library-based approach of the Supplier HPD Extension. Automated communication enables easy outreach to lower tier suppliers. Most important, because the system is based on the HPD Open Standard, there is a single format for responding to all Requests for Information. This means that once the ingredients are entered, the same information can be provided to any manufacturer making a request, without the need for time-consuming, duplicative data entry.

The Supplier HPD Extension screens ingredients for health hazards, using GreenScreen List Translator™. “Among the most important innovations with the Supplier HPD are technology features that help manage confidential business information,” said John Geyer, HPDC Manufacturing and IT Program Director. “The disclosure tools in the Supplier HPD Extension allow a supplier to fully hazard screen their ingredients and provide the results to their manufacturer customer, without disclosing chemical identity information.”

“Enabling my suppliers to easily control disclosure of their confidential business information is a wonderful option, that should help simplify and speed up our transparency work,” said Rachel Berman, Sustainability Program Manager at Mecho Shades and co-chair of the HPDC Supply Chain Technical Sub-Group.

“The Supplier HPD Extension is going to be very helpful as we scale our material health work to our entire product line. Managing HPD reporting with a large number of suppliers and hundreds of products will be made much easier with these new capabilities,” said Luke Zhou, Lead Sustainable Materials Specialist at Humanscale, and co-chair of the HPDC Supply Chain Technical Sub-Group.

First released in 2012, the HPD Open Standard is harmonized with reporting for leading sustainability certification systems for buildings, such as LEED and WELL, and for building products, such as Cradle to Cradle Certified™, Declare, GreenScreen Certified™ and BIFMA LEVEL®i. When manufacturers report their information using the HPD Open Standard, costly repetitive and duplicative reporting steps can be eliminated. By publishing an HPD report in the HPD Public Repository, manufacturers can make their HPDs publicly available, and electronically transmit updated HPDs to online product libraries, including mindful MATERIALS, Ecomedes and Sustainable Minds. Manufacturers can also transfer information between their HPD Builder, Toxnot and Declare accounts using the HPD Builder API.

Beneficiile electroterapiei in recuperarea fizica

Echipamentul si aparatura potrivita sunt esentiale in orice tip de testare si diagnosticare medicala, insa in cadrul unui centru de recuperare fizica, alegerea echipamentului medical este de o importanta majora.

Probabil cea mai cunoscuta terapie de recuperare fizica este electroterapia. Aceasta, cunoscuta si sub denumirea de stimulare electrica a muschilor sau e-stim, implica utilizarea unui dispozitiv pentru a aplica energie electrica corpului pacientului pentru a provoca vindecarea in muschi si alte tesuturi ale corpului. Este important sa se ia in considerare indicatiile si contraindicatiile electroterapiei inainte de tratarea pacientilor, deoarece exista situatii in care aceasta forma de terpaie trebuie evitata. Dispozitivele de stimulare electrica sunt cel mai frecvent utilizate de catre fizioterapeuti si chiropracticieni, tocmai datorita numeroaselor avantaje pentru reabilitare.

Utilizarea electroterapiei este cunoscuta pentru beneficii ca: gestionarea si reducerea durerii, ajutand la fluxul sanguin si imbunatatirea circulatiei. Prin activarea muschilor, fluxul sanguin este imbunatatit, lucru foarte util in recuperarea sportivilor. Tot aceasta faciliteaza repararea muschilor si a altor tesuturi ale corpului. De la durerea nervului sciatic pana la nervii afectati ai umarului sau picioarelor, stimularea electrica poate ajuta la relaxarea si reducerea spasmelor musculare. Intrucat e-stim este capabila sa produca contractii care imita miscarile corpului, acest lucru ajuta la prevenirea atrofiei, tratament foarte util in cazul pacientilor cu accident vascular cerebral.

Stimulii electrici sunt transmisi cu ajutorul unor electrozi atasati pe pielea pacientului. In timpul tratamentului, aparatul trimite impulsuri electrice care determina muschii specifici sa se contracte. Aceste contractii sunt utile din mai multe motive. In primul rand, permite muschilor sa mentina puterea si tonusul muscular prin faptul ca imita modul in care corpul se misca in timpul exercitiilor fizice, crescand astfel gradul de miscare generala a zonei.

Toti cei care gasesc cu cale sa utileze sau sa reutileze un centru medical de recuperare, magazinul online EcoMedica si site-ul https://www.ecomedical.ro/ este de folos cu cateva modele de aparate de fizioterapie. Detaliile se pot afla prin contactarea unui consultant EcoMedical. De asemenea, pentru acuratete in diagnostic, EcoMedical pune la dispozitia clientilor ecografe de vanzare si multe alte echipamente medicale, non-medicale si consumabile!

Trei piloni ai unei activitati medicale de succes

Startul unei afaceri in domeniul medical necesita cheltuieli destul de mari pe echipamente si consumabile. Pe langa computer, imprimanta, telefon si spatiul in care urmeaza a se desfasura activitatea, un act medical de calitate necesita aparatura medicala specializata pentru diagnosticarea si tratarea pacientilor. Mai jos veti gasi o prezentare generala a elementelor de baza necesare pentru un cabinet medical.

1. Mobilier. Fiecare cabinet medical are o sala de asteptare si aceasta camera ofera pacientului o prima impresie despre intreaga activitate. Scaune, mese, cateva plante, suporturi pentru reviste, un televizor pot sa nu para chiar atat de importante, insa decorarea salii in care pacientul trebuie sa se relaxeze inaintea unui consult este cu adevarat importanta. Urmatorul loc in care intra pacientul este sala de examinare sau tratament, loc care trebuie mobilat profesional, dar in acelasi timp cu bun gust. In functie de ramura medicala pe care va axati, aceasta camera ar putea contine un pat de examinare, birou si scaune, dulapuri pentru consumabile, computer, monitor pentru pacient. Un alt loc des vizitat de pacienti este toaleta care trebuie sa fie utilata si igienizata corespunzator. In cele din urma, cabinetele medicale necesita solutii specializate de depozitare pentru documentele pacientilor. Acest lucru implica rafturi si bibliorafturi.

2. Echipamente. Fiecare ramura a medicinei va avea echipamente speciale, cum ar fi jucariile pentru pediatri sau ecograful pentru ginecologi. Majoritatea cabinetelor medicale vor necesita cateva instrumente de baza: termometre, audiometre, stetoscoape, aparate EKG. Pentru pastrarea diverselor probe va fi nevoie de un frigider sau recipiente speciale pentru deseuri. In ultima vreme se prefera ustensilele de unica folosinta, insa in unele cazuri este necesara sterilizarea, deci va fi necesar si un sterilizator.

3. Consumabile. In aceasta categorie intra toate materialele care trebuie inlocuite in mod regulat, cum ar fi manusile sterile, halatele, hartia, pansamentul, depresoare linguale, seringi.

EcoMedical pune la dispozitia celor interesati o gama larga de aparate EKG de vanzare, audiometre, holtere EKG de vanzare.

Pe langa aparatura medicala oferita la preturi promotionale, EcoMedical mai asigura si necesarul de consumabile medicale, mobilier medical si alte accesorii necesare desfasurarii optime a actului medical din spitale si cabinete. Merita sa rasfoiti putin pagina http://www.ecomedical.ro si sa va convingeti ca acesta este locul de unde trebuie sa faceti urmatoarele achizitii!

HPD Open Standard Version 2.2 Released

The Health Product Declaration (HPD) Collaborative has released HPD Open Standard Version 2.2, the latest update to its industry-leading open standard for transparency and reporting for building product contents and associated health information. The Release of Version 2.2 provides the opportunity for users to review the updated Standard and prepare for full implementation. Planned for Q3 2019, full implementation is when the HPD Builder, HPD Public Repository and APIs for electronic data exchange with other information systems will be updated to compliance with Version 2.2, and all newly-published HPDs will be required to be Version 2.2 compliant.

This update introduces a major new feature – the Supplier HPD, a specification and methodology for enabling standard-based ingredient reporting and transparency throughout the building product supply chain. Using the HPD Open Standard, manufacturers are able to provide accurate, reliable and consistent information to decision makers – architects, designers, building owners – to enable the selection of products featuring transparency and healthier building materials.

“The introduction of the Supplier HPD to the HPD Open Standard is a real breakthrough for transparency reporting,” said Jane Abernethy, Chief Sustainability Officer at Humanscale. “For complex products such as ours, the Supplier HPD offers a welcome tool for receiving and managing information from our many, global suppliers. Humanscale is committed to providing transparency to our customers, and this new capability will help us both reduce the cost and increase the quality of information.”

“HPD v2.2 reflects a lot of careful listening and learning from the creators and users of HPDs,” said Tristan Roberts, HPDC Technical and Education Director. “This new version means that we are fulfilling our promise to our members and users to continually improve the HPD specification. With now almost 5,000 published HPD reports there has been a rapid adoption of the standard that we need to support. For example, the Supplier HPD will extend the benefits of HPD-based reporting and transparency to all companies in the supply chain, enable more granular data on ingredients, and support new initiatives moving us toward a circular economy. All of the updates here maintain and increase the highest level of consistency and rigor that the HPD is known for.”

Key features of the HPD v2.2 Release are:

Product HPD/Supplier HPD – The global supply chain is a complex and constantly evolving network. One of the greatest challenges for a manufacturer who wants to participate in transparency reporting using the HPD Open Standard can be to determine the chemical contents of their own products. Reflecting this complexity, reporting options for HPDs within the Supply Chain are broadened in v2.2 to enable direct reporting of information by both manufacturers (the producer of the end product, such as a “chair”) and suppliers (the producer of a component part of the end product, such as a “chair caster”). The existing HPD report, created by the manufacturer, will now be referenced as the Product HPD, and remains as previously defined in the HPD Open Standard. Newly introduced with v2.2, the Supplier HPD provides a focused specification, a proper subset of HPD Open Standard data, for direct reporting of information by an ingredient supplier. Supported by the Supplier HPD extension to the HPD Builder online information system, manufacturers and their suppliers will be able to communicate and share information, including provisions for confidential business information, and be assured of compliance with the HPD Open Standard.

Part Inventory Display – If a Supplier HPD has been used to describe a component of a product, for example, the caster of a chair, the optional Part Inventory Display will enable the manufacturer to display part information in the Product HPD report. When used, the part display will enable a designer to see which chemicals are associated with various parts of a product.

Product Variations – Product variation is common in many building materials, where the same product is offered in many sizes and products can also be customized in ways that do not materially affect the chemical composition of the product or the associated health information. HPD v2.2 improves the specification for reporting these variations, enabling a single HPD to be used to report on a wider range of product variations, while maintaining rigor on chemical composition.

HPD Issuances – With the growing adoption of the HPD Open Standard, manufacturers are encountering the situation where they have multiple versions of a product available concurrently. This situation can arise, for example, when a product is reformulated (often indicated by an additional notation, such as “improved”), and is marketed under the same product name as an existing version of the product already in the market. To address this situation, HPD v2.2 provides the manufacturer with the capability to publish multiple issuances of a Product HPD report under the same product name, denoting the validity dates for each issuance.

“We work closely with manufacturers and their suppliers on reporting supply chain information. Managing all the interactions and information flow about ingredients is definitely one of the most challenging aspects of transparency,” commented William Paddock, Managing Director of WAP Sustainability. “Providing a tool that suppliers can use directly, with the information rolling up into a Product HPD, should be very effective in streamlining this work.”

“As a specifier, I look forward to the new Part Inventory Display included in HPD v2.2,” said Mike Manzi, Bora Architects. “As we work to optimize product selection for healthier choices, we often need to make tradeoffs. The ability to understand more about how and where a substance appears in a product will be very helpful in our evaluation process.”

First released in 2012, the HPD Open Standard is harmonized with reporting for leading sustainability certification systems for buildings, such as LEED and WELL, and for building products, such as Cradle to Cradle Certified™, Declare, GreenScreen Certified™ and BIFMA LEVEL®[i]. When manufacturers report their information using the HPD Open Standard, costly repetitive and duplicative reporting steps can be eliminated. By publishing an HPD report in the HPD Public Repository, manufacturers can make their detailed product information publicly available, and also electronically transmit their information to product libraries, such as mindful MATERIALS, Ecomedes and Sustainable Minds. When fully implemented in the HPD Builder online tool, HPD v2.2-reported supply chain information will also be sharable via electronic transmission with supply chain management tools, Toxnot and Makersite.
