Pete Martinez, Quantum Senior Vice President and Chief Technology & Innovations Officer, led the team responsible for the development of PWeR.  Martinez delivered each of the presentations which lasted approximately 45 minutes each.  Attendees arrived with ample time preceding each of the scheduled presentations to ensure they would have a seat.   

Martinez offered his comments on the event.  “This was an exciting weekend for our Company.  We were able to utilize the brand recognition of the foundation of our Company, Renaissance Health Systems, to introduce PWeR to the thousands of physician, nurse and staff attendees.  We entered the weekend confident in our service-oriented and patient-centric architected platform and concluded it with positive feedback that exceeded our expectations.”

Noel J.

The Quantum Group Compliments Congress and President Obama on Signing of Stimulus Bill into Law

CEO offers perspective as to expected impact

WELLINGTON, Fla. (February 18, 2009) - The Quantum Group, Inc. (NYSE Amex: QGP) (www.QuantumMD.com) President & CEO Noel J. Guillama, commented on the President signing the American Recovery and Reinvestment Actof 2009 into law yesterday. The new law allocates $19.2 billion to technology and innovation for the healthcare industry. Quantum has publicly supported the stimulus bill since it was publicly introduced.

The new law provides for approximately $17 billion for Medicare and Medicaid incentive payments for use of electronic health records (Goedert, Health Data Management, 2/12/09). The payments would range from $44,000 to $64,000 for physicians and up to $11 million for hospitals (iHealthBeat, 2/12/09). Additionally, a number of newspapers have published articles regarding the financial benefits expected for healthcare technology-driven firms as a result of this new law.

Section 9202 of the law, “Investment In Health Information Technology,” discusses the need to implement and promote architecture that supports nationwide electronic exchange, the importance of privacy issues, training and dissemination of information on best practices, developing tools for promotion of telemedicine and interoperability of data repositories or registries.

On her website, “The Gavel,” Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi summarized the purpose of the targeted effort to improve healthcare in our country through the new stimulus package. (http://www.speaker.gov/newsroom/legislation?id=0273#health) “Affordable and quality health care is key to strong economic growth. We are bringing our health care system

into the 21st century with information technology, which will save billions of dollars, and are taking key steps to ensure broader coverage in this recession.”

Quantum President & CEO Noel J. Guillama commented, “We have been very impressed with President Obama’s clear support of healthcare transformation, specifically his emphasis on healthcare information technology to reduce costs and save lives. We believe our PWeR™ platform is directly in line with the President’s agenda for healthcare technology as PWeR integrates all of the functions a physician/provider, hospital, clinic and related professionals utilize in one patient-centric platform and falls well within the economic incentives offered by the new law. Many electronic medical record (EMR) applications work to capture patient data, however they are generally facility or provider-centric. PWeR has been architected as a system to incorporate everything from EMR to practice management to billing and collections and electronic prescriptions. EMR is simply one aspect of our comprehensive system. PWeR follows the entire healthcare delivery process and provides for the highest level of efficiency in patient care.”

Guillama continued, “As President Obama seeks to infuse efficiencies, reduce costs and improve patient care by leveraging technology, PWeR looks to facilitate these objectives by empowering patients, providers and payers.”
