Rivers are Life Premieres ‘Wings of the Oder’ Bringing Awareness to Poland’s Oder River

Tomorrow, August 19, Rivers are Life unveils the latest documentary highlighting the Oder River and conservation efforts made by local River Hero, Piotr Chara. Located in central Europe, the Oder River is Poland’s second longest river, which runs from the Czech Republic, through Poland and Germany, and into the Baltic Sea. This film, titled “Wings of the Oder,” centers on Piotr and his mission to protect the Oder and surrounding wildlife habitats while inspiring people locally and around the world. 

Piotr Chara spent most of his childhood in and around the Oder River and its shores. As he grew older and continued to watch, Piotr noticed a dramatic decline in the river and the local wildlife that called it home. Unintended consequences from a river widening project and the effects of climate change have played into the situation and negatively impacted the once thriving shores’ delicate ecosystem.

Various species of Wetland birds are native to this area, such as little terns and oystercatchers. The number of birds migrating to the river were decreasing in high numbers due to difficulty nesting – their habitats were compromised which made them easy prey for local predators in the area. Piotr researched different solutions and created an organization that builds floating nests for the birds to be able to breed safely and comfortably. 

“The plight of these birds didn’t allow me to rest. I admired their beauty, their grace, their mating dances,” said Piotr Chara. “I was eventually able to recognize individual birds, to become familiar with their temperament and personal habits. I felt honored. It was all the more painful, then, to see their dramatic situation. I knew it was imperative to find the time, find a solution and resources to help them.”

To date, Piotr’s team has installed eight artificial nests to help the at-risk birds. Now an award-winning photographer, Piotr films the birds as part of his studies and reports his findings to The Green Valley of the Oder and Warta (ZDOW) Foundation. Since filming on this project began, Piotr and his loyal volunteers, along with The Green Valley of the Oder and the Warta (ZDOW) Foundation, worked together to officially achieve reservation status for the Oder River. This status will protect the river from any potential human threats, providing a thriving breeding ground for wildlife for years to come.

“Wings of the Oder” premieres August 19 and will be a reminder for just how essential our rivers are to communities and ecosystems across the globe.

This week, Curitics Health announced the launch of its new delivery center, home to top-tier talent dedicated to addressing the crucial technology issues surrounding value-based care. This center, based in Noida, India, is home to the development of the company’s state-of-the-art, low-code platform, Curitics Pulse 3.0, designed to improve the value-based care landscape significantly.

Value-based care is a healthcare delivery model where providers are paid based on patient health outcomes rather than the quantity of healthcare services delivered. While the shift from fee-for-service to value-based care has many potential benefits, such as improving patient health and reducing healthcare costs, there are also significant challenges, including data management, patient engagement and care coordination.

Curitics is poised to solve these challenges through:

Data Management – The transition to value-based care necessitates seamless integration and sharing of vast amounts of data among various stakeholders. Curitics’ cutting-edge data management system enables efficient data exchange and incorporates advanced analytics to provide insights into patient care and costs.

Patient Engagement – Curitics empowers patients to take a more active role in their care. Through its patient portal, patients have access to their health information and educational materials and can directly communicate with their care team, promoting a more proactive and personalized healthcare experience.

Care Coordination – Coordinating care among various healthcare providers is often complex and challenging. Curitics simplifies this process by providing a unified platform where providers can share patient information, communicate effectively and jointly develop care plans.

“Curitics represents a revolutionary step forward in the approach to value-based care,” says Chris Pempsell, co-founder and chief product officer at Curitics Health. “By combining the most advanced technology with top-tier talent, we’re creating a platform that will enable healthcare providers to deliver better outcomes for their patients and improve the overall efficiency of their operations.”

Curitics partners with healthcare organizations to rapidly develop in-clinic and virtual care programs that enrich patient care, improve provider experience and meet the dynamic needs of health plan payors. Initial service offerings support health plan payors, virtual care providers and home health vendors and will eventually expand to include behavioral health providers, managed service organizations (MSOs) and disease-specific program vendors for diabetes, chronic heart failure and COPD.
