The Quantum Group Reaches WebServices Agreement With Second
County Medical Society in Florida
WELLINGTON, Fla., Feb. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Quantum Group, Inc.
(OTC:QTUM) (BULLETIN BOARD: QTUM) announced that it has reached an agreement
with a second Florida Medical Society to provide the organization with a
state-of- the-art website that is both interactive and educational.
Collectively, through this newly established agreement and the previously
announced relationship with the Broward County Medical Association, the two
medical organizations represent approximately 2,000 physicians who provide care
to over 2 million patients.
"We intend to provide a new platform for select medical societies to facilitate
interaction, education and information with the public at large and to the
members of the medical society," commented Noel J. Guillama, president of The
Quantum Group, Inc.
Guillama added, "Through our division Quantum Medical WebServices, we seek to
create an online community for the society's physician membership, and for the
patients for whom they provide care. A local medical society is an invaluable
resource -- our intent is to increase the positive awareness of the society and
to provide an additional benefit of membership for its physician members."
Quantum expects to unveil the new site by the end of the month with other
Florida-based sites subsequently following soon after, and has announced that
it is in serious discussions with medical societies throughout the nation as it
anticipates a slow and controlled nationwide roll-out in 2006-2007. The first
medical society website built through this initiative was for the Broward
County Medical Association and can be found at http://www.bcma.com/ .
The websites developed by Quantum Medical WebServices contain valuable content
from leading-edge information providers. Additionally, Quantum has agreed to
share a portion of the revenues derived through educational sponsorship
opportunities on the site with the society. Next steps include creating secure
e-mail from physician to physician and from physician to patient, establishing
a physician search engine, implementing scheduling options and potentially
enabling a full expansion to an electronic medical records information
platform.
Mr. Guillama further commented, "A recent study was conducted by Manhattan
Research, LLC (June 8, 2004) entitled '366,000 Physicians Trying to "Connect"
with Professional Societies Online.' This research confirmed that physicians
are more often seeking additional online information and education, and deemed
that the majority of professional societies, to which these physicians belong,
are currently missing these opportunities." What's more, another study
conducted by the Pew Internet and American Life Project concluded that eighty
percent of adult Internet users (which equates to almost half of Americans over
18 years of age) have searched for information online about at least one major
health topic.
