From desktop printers to high-speed, high-volume production workhorses, we deliver the equipment, network connections, software and service you need. Is Your Document Technology Working for Your Business? Documents allow information to flow in and out of your business, and are therefore crucial to day-today operations. However, most business owners don’t think about document workflow until a copier or printer breaks down. That’s when it’s important to have a good relationship with your office equipment service provider, says Joe Pollock, so you don’t waste a minute of valuable time and productivity. As the owner of Pollock Company, one of the largest independent document management solutions providers in the Southeast, Pollock understands that businesses can only grow if all systems are working seamlessly. “Our industry is in transition,” explains Pollock, “so you want a service provider who is small enough to be flexible and accountable, yet large enough to stay current with technology –and be there quickly when there is a need for service.” To ensure everything from desktop printers to high-speed, high-volume production equipment stays worry-free, Pollock recommends working with a provider who can deliver a variety of options, network connections, software and service. Pollock Company works with such reliable manufacturers as Konica Minolta and Canon. “Having more than one product line means there’s no forcing a product to fit a niche because it’s the only one available,” he says. Additionally, Pollock points out, that most document management service providers are branch offices of large corporations that may not store parts locally, and do their billing, leasing and dispatching remotely. If our clients, or potential clients, need anything, including emergency service, parts, billing questions, delivery information, we have the answers, locally. We pride ourselves in offering prompt, dependable service and local accountability. “Our managed print services division handles everything from a desktop printer to an actual print shop and supplies with consolidated billing to help lower clients’ operating costs.”

R. Joseph Pollock of Pollock Company has been selected for the inaugural Konica Minolta Dealer Award for Excellence, recognizing Pollock’s ongoing commitment to the Augusta & Columbia communities.

Finally, Pollock says, after 45 years in business, his company continues to prove it’s committed to its clients and the community. Almost one half of our employees have been with Pollock for 10+ years, and over one third have been with us 15+ years. This experience benefits our clients by providing exceptional service. Anyone can sign a contract once. We want our customers to be with us for the long term.”

renda Addison of North had spinal surgery for a disc that was causing her severe pain â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and never went to the hospital. Addison had surgery in the clinic at Midlands Orthopaedics in Columbia, which let her recuperate at home rather than in the hospital. As more surgeries Pressure on her spinal column in her neck had are performed as caused her intense pain that could not be remless-expensive outedied by physical therapy or even a steroid shot. patient procedures, For her, surgery was the next option. even those who Having spinal surgery in a clinical setting receive surgery on meant that Addison could go home that night to a herniated disc can recover â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and likely will mean less expense for go home to recover. her and for her insurer. The surgery can be performed at Midlands Orthopaedics because it has become a somewhat less disruptive procedure with a quicker recovery, according to her surgeon, Ivan LaMotta. Midlands is the first non-hospital location in the region to perform this spinal relief surgery as an outpatient procedure. The intensely painful pressure patients like Addison experience on their spinal columns comes as a result of arthritis or a herniated disc, LaMotta said. The ability to perform the surgery using smaller incisions is a major reason it can be done outside the hospital, he said. For a person like Addison, whose surgery was on the spinal cord in the neck, LaMotta makes a small incision in the neck next to the windpipe. Patients with herniated discs elsewhere in the spine get a small incision in the back. In that surgery, LaMotta can shave down a herniated disc so that it no longer juts into the spinal nerves. The smaller intrusion allows for quicker, less complicated recovery, LaMotta said. Addison, age 69, said she was substantially recovered from the surgery within four weeks, with her pain relieved. The success rate of the procedure is good, LaMotta said. For patients like Addison, the rate of successful pain relief is 90% or higher. For those who have the outpatient surgery on herniated discs farther down in their backs, the success rate is 85% to 90%, LaMotta said. Taking the surgery out of the traditional hospital location helps both before and after, according to LaMotta. Before surgery, there is considerably less paperwork for patients. That helps lower their stress, too, he said. Patients have an â&#x20AC;&#x153;innate fearâ&#x20AC;? of hospitals and surgery, especially on the spine, LaMotta said. After surgery, patients are checked to ensure they are ready for the trip home â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where most people would prefer to recover. Home tends

to be more restful than the hospital, with its unfamiliar surroundings, noise and interruptions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recovery is easier at home,â&#x20AC;? LaMotta said. The process also can be expected to cost less. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the usual rule of thumb with outpatient surgery versus a hospital stay, according to Elizabeth Hammond, spokeswoman for BlueCross and BlueShield of South Carolina. Medical practice is moving more toward outpatient surgeries and procedures, Hammond said. Among the reasons: Better technology allows such operations to be done at clinics. More outpatient facilities can do these surgeries because they specialize in one or two particular types, she said. More specialists are practicing medicine overall, making the skill set more broad, she said. Insurance and federal health programs have not fully embraced this move to outpatient spinal surgery, LaMotta said.

Steps Toward Creation of a Corporate Wellness Program The process of assembling a worksite wellness program involves: • Identifying the current health status of your staff members. • Determining the appropriate programs and interventions to offer. • Promoting and launching the programs. • Building in motivational incentives. • Measuring the effect. • Revising programs based on evaluation outcomes. The program also could include beginning policies and procedures that support employee participation in wellness activities at your workplace (such as flextime).

Steps to Starting a Company Health Promotion Program • Conduct an organizational assessment. • Obtain senior staff backing. • Establish a workplace health promotion program committee. • Get employee input. • Establish goals and objectives. • Design and enable program activities. • Select incentives and rewards. • Assess outcomes.

Now, even spinal surgery can be outpatient operation

Volume 3, No. 21 • $2.00

By Mike Fitts

renda Addison of North had spinal surgery for a disc that was causing her severe pain — and never went to the hospital. Addison had surgery in the clinic at Midlands Orthopaedics in Columbia, which let her recuperate at home rather than in the hospital. As more surgeries Pressure on her spinal column in her neck had are performed as caused her intense pain that could not be remless-expensive outedied by physical therapy or even a steroid shot. patient procedures, For her, surgery was the next option. even those who Having spinal surgery in a clinical setting receive surgery on meant that Addison could go home that night to a herniated disc can recover — and likely will mean less expense for go home to recover. her and for her insurer. The surgery can be performed at Midlands Orthopaedics because it has become a somewhat less disruptive procedure with a quicker recovery, according to her surgeon, Ivan LaMotta. Midlands is the first non-hospital location in the region to perform this spinal relief surgery as an outpatient procedure. The intensely painful pressure patients like Addison experience on their spinal columns comes as a result of arthritis or a herniated disc, LaMotta said. The ability to perform the surgery using smaller incisions is a major reason it can be done outside the hospital, he said. For a person like Addison, whose surgery was on the spinal cord in the neck, LaMotta makes a small incision in the neck next to the windpipe. Patients with herniated discs elsewhere in the spine get a small incision in the back. In that surgery, LaMotta can shave down a herniated disc so that it no longer juts into the spinal nerves. The smaller intrusion allows for quicker, less complicated recovery, LaMotta said. Addison, age 69, said she was substantially recovered from the surgery within four weeks, with her pain relieved. The success rate of the procedure is good, LaMotta said. For patients like Addison, the rate of successful pain relief is 90% or higher. For those who have the outpatient surgery on herniated discs farther down in their backs, the success rate is 85% to 90%, LaMotta said. Taking the surgery out of the traditional hospital location helps both before and after, according to LaMotta. Before surgery, there is considerably less paperwork for patients. That helps lower their stress, too, he said. Patients have an “innate fear” of hospitals and surgery, especially on the spine, LaMotta said. After surgery, patients are checked to ensure they are ready for the trip home — where most people would prefer to recover. Home tends

to be more restful than the hospital, with its unfamiliar surroundings, noise and interruptions. “Recovery is easier at home,” LaMotta said. The process also can be expected to cost less. That’s the usual rule of thumb with outpatient surgery versus a hospital stay, according to Elizabeth Hammond, spokeswoman for BlueCross and BlueShield of South Carolina. Medical practice is moving more toward outpatient surgeries and procedures, Hammond said. Among the reasons: Better technology allows such operations to be done at clinics. More outpatient facilities can do these surgeries because they specialize in one or two particular types, she said. More specialists are practicing medicine overall, making the skill set more broad, she said. Insurance and federal health programs have not fully embraced this move to outpatient spinal surgery, LaMotta said. To date, Medicare does not cover the practice in an outpatient clinic, LaMotta said. Instead, he said, Medicare patients must be admitted to a hospital. To Addison, having the surgery performed at Midlands Orthopaedic was no more daunting than being checked into a hospital. “I felt like I was in good hands,” she said. cr br

64 2011 Book of Lists | www.columbiabusinessreport.com

In 2007, golf courses and the off-course expenditures of visiting golfers had a billion-dollar economic impact (direct, indirect and induced) in South Carolina: • $2.721 billion in output or sales. • 33,535 jobs. • $834 million in personal income. • $276 million in federal, state and local taxes. Green fees and club membership dues generated $12.9 million in admissions tax revenue, accounting for more than 39% of state admissions tax collections. Note: The impacts of real estate sales in golf communities and off-site purchases of golf equipment by local golfers are not included in these totals.
