FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Managed Care On-Line™ Joins The PointCast Business Network As Managed Care Content Provider
Modesto, CA - InteliHealth, a joint venture between Aetna U.S. Healthcare and Johns Hopkins University and Health System, today announced the launch of a new edition of the PointCast® Business Network for the healthcare industry. The new edition, the PointCast Business Network Healthcare Insider™, includes "channels" of information specific to the interest of health care professionals including: physicians, nurses, pharmacists, allied health professionals, pharmaceutical executives, suppliers, and employee benefit managers. Managed Care On-Line™ has entered into an agreement to provide managed care content information for healthcare professionals who access the PointCast Business Network Healthcare Insider™.
"We are pleased to be a content provider for the Healthcare Insider and to provide health care professionals with access to MCOL’s managed care data and information. The world wide web is quickly becoming overwhelmed with information and the Healthcare Insider is working to organize and streamline health care information on the Internet" commented Claire Bollier Thayer, Director of Research and Development.
"The PointCast Business Network Healthcare Insider will provide a single point of entry to the Internet by use of intelligent interfaces that will allow users to navigate through the myriad of valuable, but often-missed databases, directories and references. Viewers will no longer browse, but instead, identify and choose the information they want to receive, by selecting the information to be broadcast to them," stated George Stamathis, director of the InteliHealth Professional Network.
The InteliHealth Professional Network (IPN) was created to serve the needs of the professional healthcare industry. InteliHealth and the Healthcare Group of Perot Systems Corporation joined forces with PointCast, a leader in Internet broadcast technology, to establish The InteliHealth Professional Network. The Healthcare Insider is now available via a free download on the InteliHealth Professional Network’s web site at http://ipn.intelihealth.com and at the PointCast web site at http://www.pointcast.com.
