PHILADELPHIA, PA / ACCESSWIRE / July 23, 2024 / CGFNS International, a worldwide leader in international credentials evaluation and certification to support health worker careers, has been inducted into the World Rehabilitation Alliance (WRA).
To view this piece of content from cdn.nwe.io, please give your consent at the top of this page.The WRA is the World Health Organization's global network of stakeholders whose mission is to advocate for the implementation of WHO's Rehabilitation 2030 initiative, which aims to improve rehabilitation management and investment, build a high-quality rehabilitation workforce and services, and enhance data collection on rehabilitation.
"We are delighted to receive this recognition of our extensive work in developing practical solutions to improve rehabilitation care for the more than 2.4 billion people around the world who need it," said Dr. Peter Preziosi, President and CEO of CGFNS. "We are also determined to further dedicate ourselves to advancing the WRA's impact in promoting and strengthening health systems worldwide through better and more accessible rehabilitation services."
Preziosi noted that one of the key calls to action of the WRA is for "developing a strong multidisciplinary rehabilitation workforce that is suitable for country context and promoting rehabilitation concepts across all health workforce education."
"We believe we have a great deal of knowledge and experience to contribute to advancing critical workforce initiatives in the global rehab community, especially toward achieving the WHO goal of integrating rehab care more firmly into primary healthcare across local settings," said Dr. Julia To Dutka, Chief of the CGFNS Global Health Workforce Development Institute. "Providing global certifications to recognize knowledge and skills of health workers will help facilitate this integration."
To that end, for the past five years, CGFNS has been leading a collaboration of key stakeholders to develop exam-based global certifications for nurses and other health workers in rehabilitation settings worldwide. That effort has produced the first-ever global credential for registered nurses working in rehabilitation, habilitation or restorative care - the Certified Global Nurse - Rehabilitation (CGN-R), which was launched last month.
The organization is also developing credentials for other rehabilitation health workers, including physical and occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and rehab technicians, using an interprofessional and interdisciplinary approach. These global credentials, Certified Global Health Worker - Rehabilitation (CGHW-R) and Certified Global Health Worker - Rehabilitation Advanced (CGHW-RA), will be available in 2025.
As a newly appointed member of the WRA, CGFNS will participate in four of its workstreams: Workforce, Primary Care, Research, and Emergencies.

Frame Security Launches KnowBetter as AI Reshapes Social Engineering8.7.2026 14:00:00 CEST | Press release
AI Is Rewriting the Social Engineering Playbook. Security Awareness Training Hasn't Caught Up. Organizations must KnowBetter. NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 8, 2026 / Security teams have spent two decades training employees to spot a familiar set of red flags: a suspicious link, a misspelled domain, an urgent request for a wire transfer. That approach is now colliding with an attacker toolkit that has changed faster than most awareness programs have. Generative AI has made it possible to clone a voice from a few seconds of audio, generate a passable deepfake video in minutes, and write a phishing email tailored to a specific employee's role, manager, and recent LinkedIn activity. Vishing calls, smishing texts, and video-based impersonation are now standard components of enterprise social engineering campaigns, not edge cases. "Most organizations are still training people to recognize threats from five years ago," said Tal Shlomo, co-founder and CEO of Frame Security, a huma
GoodData.AI Brings Governed Agentic Analytics to Regulated Enterprises Across DACH8.7.2026 13:05:00 CEST | Press release
GoodData.AI lets regulated enterprises in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland build and govern AI agents that support business processes, while maintaining full control over where AI runs and what data it can access. SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 8, 2026 / GoodData.AI, an open agentic analytics platform with nearly two decades of analytics experience, today announced an expanded investment in the DACH region, bringing governed agentic analytics to regulated enterprises across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Many regulated enterprises have held off on production AI because outputs can't be traced back to approved business logic. GoodData.AI's platform addresses that directly: agents stay on a process over time, drafting and updating reports, analyses, and recommendations as new data comes in, while every output stays grounded in logic the company has already approved and can show an auditor on request. The EU AI Act has introduced some of the most comprehensive AI governan
