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.

The physician community will share in the commercial success of applied information technology without a large out-of-pocket investment.
