PARSIPPANY, July 11, 2006 — – Quadrant
HealthCom Inc. announces the launch of URGENT CARE, a multi-disciplinary
journal reaching an exciting new market. URGENT CARE is the Official
Journal of the American Academy of Urgent Care Medicine (AAUCM) and is
an exciting new journal devoted to this dynamic, rapidly growing marketplace.
Urgent care physicians provide quality health care for patients of any
age or gender who need and want immediate medical attention for non-emergency
conditions. This unique point-of-care setting offers patients an alternative
to emergency departments and office visits for fast access to care, extended
hours, short wait time, and unscheduled visits.
Dr. Franz Ritucci, Jr. will be the Editor-in-Chief of URGENT CARE. He
is the Director of the AAUCM and President of the American Board of Urgent
Care Medicine. “We are excited that Quadrant HealthCom is joining
the American Academy of Urgent Care Medicine in our mission to provide
relevant, front-line medical education to this ever-growing segment of
medicine,” said Dr. Ritucci. “After much research, we found
Quadrant HealthCom to be the perfect partner to reach our physicians,
physician assistants, and nurse practitioners.” Dr. Ritucci will
bring thought leaders from key market sectors, including clinical and
practice management, to join him on the URGENT CARE board.
“The AAUCM anticipates that the urgent care market will double
by 2008,” said Stephen Stoneburn, President and CEO of QHI. “We
are very excited to be leading the market.”
The journal will publish a premier issue in October 2006, and another
issue in December 2006 with frequency increasing in 2007. URGENT
CARE will feature high-quality, peer-reviewed clinical content and practice
management advice.
