CEP America Introduces ER Forum Blog

ED Management Leader Launches Online Forum Focusing on Emergency Medicine

EMERYVILLE, Calif., June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- CEP America, one of the nation's
largest providers of emergency department (ED) management and staffing
solutions, announced today that it has launched a blog titled ER Forum
(www.cepamericablog.com), which will provide insight into emergency medicine
and the challenges of managing a profitable and efficient emergency
department.

Designed as a free-flowing vehicle to discuss healthcare issues as they relate
to emergency management, ER Forum is written by the physician management of
CEP America, who also practice in emergency rooms from hospitals across the
country. The inaugural post, authored by Dr. Wesley Curry, chief executive
officer of CEP America, highlights the impact of the recent H1N1 flu scare on
how U.S. emergency rooms cope with a sudden increase in patient volume.

"The launch of ER Forum is such a great opportunity for us to interact with
our peers through real-time dialogue," said Dr. Curry. "The ability to address
the most urgent and timely topics affecting the industry as they happen makes
this venture all the more interesting because, as practicing emergency
medicine physicians, we live and breathe these subjects every day."

Future postings will highlight topics such as work/life balance for ED
physicians, health care reform and reimbursement trends in emergency medicine.
The blog will also include regular features on Health Information Technology
and ED Management Challenges as well as guest bloggers.

CEP America is one of the nation's largest providers of emergency medicine
physician services and emergency physician staffing for hospital ERs. CEP
America has developed the Rapid Medical Evaluation(R) (RME) program which
enables a hospital's emergency room practice to lower it's time-to-provider
(TTP) and Left-Without-Being-Seen (LWBS), improve patient satisfaction,
patient volume, nurse retention, while reducing ambulance diversion.
