Williamsville, New York, July 8, 2008 - Info-Surge attracted the attention of many bariatric surgeons and other medical specialists with its web-based patient education platform at the annual meeting of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery in Washington, DC, June 15–20. Visitors to the Info-Surge exhibition booth were intrigued by the unique system, which provides a comprehensive and fully customizable web-based learning system for patient education. Discussions focused on how Info-Surge’s multi-media education solutions can help physicians address several current challenges facing the bariatric surgery industry, including exposure to frivolous malpractice litigation, significant expenditure of precious time and resources to educate patients, pressure from growing competition, and achievement of COE patient follow-up requirements. Presentations highlighted the ease of use of the Info-Surge system, the potential savings to practices in patient education costs, and the improvements in risk management that can be achieved by delivering and documenting consistent education messages.

Mr. Eran Kabakov, Info-Surge CEO, commented on the meeting, “We are very excited by the encouraging feedback that we received regarding the technology we have brought to the marketplace. This show gave us the opportunity to share our products and expertise with not only surgeons but also medical office staff and practice managers. Our entire team would like to thank the organizers of the ASMBS Meeting 2008 for making it such a winning event for us.”

Mr. Larry Goldsmith, VP of Business Development for Info-Surge, said, “I feel this year’s ASMBS meeting was one of the most successful conferences for Info-Surge in its exhibiting history. We were overwhelmed by the many positive responses to our product. I thank our many visitors for giving their time to share ideas, best practices, and experience. We will continue our mission to promote communication and patient-centric education as integral aspects of successful surgical outcomes.”
