The Quantum Group files four new provisional healthcare IT patents

The Quantum Group, Inc., a Wellington, Florida based healthcare organization, announced the filing of four new provisional patents to enhance the proprietary PWeR(TM) platform developed by the Company and to drive greater efficiencies within the healthcare industry.

The PWeR platform is an industry-wide, web-based healthcare information system that has been recently deployed to serve the management needs of healthcare professionals throughout Florida. These new patents support technology that is intended to enhance the capabilities of this system improving prescription accuracy; to offer real-time updates of patient records; streamlining inventory management of supplies within a healthcare provider's facility; and customizing the PWeR system for each user in order to provide for a more efficient and productive experience. The Company is positioning itself to lead as an innovator with its 13 provisional patents, all designed to transform the healthcare industry at-large by offering personalized processes and solutions for healthcare providers to positively impact the quality of patient care.

Pete Martinez, Senior Vice President, Chief Technology and Innovations Officer of the Quantum Group, stated, "These four new provisional patents build upon our strategy to introduce the most innovative means of communicating within the healthcare industry. Through our unique electronic information system and technology, we are helping to revolutionize the healthcare industry by making communications and document management more efficient and cost-effective. While our patented technologies are going a long way to serve the needs of healthcare professionals, in the end, we are serving the needs of patients as our tools facilitate better care. Innovative navigation tools, prescription checking, patient record management and predictive modeling are all needed in healthcare. Our ability to deliver these technologies demonstrates the strength of our platform and the opportunities that lie ahead with our new patents."

Martinez continued, "The $2.3 trillion U.S. healthcare industry presents a strong need for better quality and productivity. The lack of automation in this industry is exemplified by the fact that most transactions are still being conducted by either phone, paper or fax. We have created the technological architecture to facilitate the interface between the healthcare industry and 21st century business models, processes and technologies. Fundamentally, we have looked at healthcare through the eyes of the consumer (patient), provider (doctor) and scientist (researcher, educator) and created, what we believe, to be the simplest, most effective and knowledge-rich inventions for the healthcare industry."
