DALLAS and JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 30, 1999--
CBQcare.net - The newest in the CBQ Inc. (OTC BB:CBQI) family of
Internet companies is a E-Healthcare provider that has introduced a
web based healthcare management system. Distributed as part of the
CBQcare.net service, this system provides the building blocks that
will transform the delivery of healthcare.
Facilitating the communication between patient, doctor, hospital
and insurance company, CBQcare.net's applications will enable
healthcare to be delivered more efficiently, with less errors and
establishing the foundation for the return of control to the patient
and doctor.
CBQcare.net's applications that are available today for beta
testing include practice management software for patient scheduling,
referrals, messaging, charting, insurance claim generation,
prescription and formulary management. The applications are
"web-centric" which means that the programs run from a web server
which is continually upgraded avoiding the cost of producing and
distributing new versions of the software.
CBQcare.net is proud to welcome a group of physicians in
Jacksonville Florida as its first beta customers. The practices which
include general practice as well as pulmonary care medicine will be
utilizing all of the cbqcare.net modules and will be launching their
own CBQcare.net supplied website in the first quarter of 2000.
The physician groups will be on the ground-floor of this
revolutionary healthcare information service. Their ability to connect
directly with patients and each other through the Internet will
improve the quality of health care.
"This is the first step into the next Millennium and an exciting
new world of healthcare delivery utilizing the next generation of
healthcare information services. Our Internet technology will empower
physicians to rebuild a bridge with their patients and solidify a
basic platform that will revolutionize the healthcare industry," said
Dr. Allen Okie, President of CBQcare.net
CBQCare.net is offering members of the physician community a
comprehensive Internet package that will position their practices in
the center of the e-Health Commerce revolution. This is the first
opportunity that physicians will have to regain the control of their
own profession. Leveraging the power of the Internet will level the
playing field and give physicians an opportunity to compete with the
mega corporations that have been dictating health care delivery.
Over 100 million users are accessing the Internet daily.
CBQcare.net will allow patients to access their physicians services
without the interference of third parties. Patients will access
medical information, services and products through the physicians web
sites. This will result in increased revenue streams and more
efficient and higher quality healthcare.
This is a rare opportunity for physicians to regain lost stature
and control. The economic incentives are aligned with higher
productivity and quality. The physician community will share in the
commercial success of applied information technology without a large
out-of-pocket investment.
The upfront concerns for physicians and patients are security,
confidentiality, privacy and authentication. Since physicians designed
our program, the system is compliant with HIPAA and all state and
federal qualifications.
