Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, the Company announced that it had enrolled five new medical practices and physician practice groups into its Quality of Care Program.  This marketing initiative provides for MedeFile to partner on a revenue-sharing basis with established medical practitioners, physician groups and hospitals to educate patients on the benefits and advantages of becoming MedeFile members.  These five medical practices and physician groups serve a collective patient base of nearly 55,000 lives.

  
MedeFile’s adoption of social networking tools as a means to reach and access prospective new members has helped to yield a notable increase in followers on its Facebook page.  Since the end of the 2010, people who “like” MedeFile on the popular social network has risen from approximately 1200 to over 8,000.  Moreover, the informative blog featured on the Company’s web site was nominated for two Best of Blog Awards (also known as the “Bob Awards”) this spring by the Sun Sentinel.

“As reflected in our first quarter results and by the numerous exciting new business developments we’ve been announcing, MedeFile is now achieving strong momentum in the emerging PHR industry, and we couldn’t be prouder,” noted Hauser.  “Our success at forming marketing collaborations with many of the nation’s recognized thought leaders in Healthcare IT serves to support and validate that MedeFile is being viewed as the digital PHR platform capable of effecting mainstream adoption of electronic personal health records by every healthcare consumer.”

Carl Underland, founder and CEO of Carlisle & Associates:  “Through its development of what we believe to be one of the most robust, intuitive iPHR solutions available in the market, MedeFile now occupies a very critical space in the fast evolving healthcare continuum. By equipping patients with MedeFile’s iPHR tools and services, individuals will be able to fully engage with their providers at the point of care, enabling more focused health solutions and outcomes while driving value creation and cost-savings across the full spectrum of care.”
