San Jose Medical Marijuana Collective Elemental Wellness Introduces Revolutionary QuantaCann Testing System












San Jose, CA (PRWEB) April 28, 2012

Elemental Wellness Center has long been considered a leader in providing only the highest quality medicine to its patients. Now the premier San Jose medical cannabis dispensary has taken another leap forward in patient care and quality control by adopting the latest innovation in cannabis analysis: QuantaCann. This on-site testing system tests samples for terpenes, moisture and cannabinoids such as THC, THCA and CBD profiles, so patients can easily find the right medication for their specific medical needs.

The revolutionary technology allows Elemental Wellness to quickly analyze flowers, hash, and kief on site. “Now there’s no wait for test results,” explained Daniel Hughes of Elemental Wellness. “By being able to test on the spot at the dispensary, the hard science is at our fingertips. We can instantly identify THC and CBD-rich strains, and provide that information to our members.

Elemental Wellness patients are increasingly interested in knowing the cannabinoid content of their medicine. While THC is still the best-known cannabinoid and has many healing properties, many patients are also seeking strains with higher CBD compounds, which have medical qualities but don not produce the “high” feeling associated with THC.

Studies indicate CBDs are effective for treating a variety of medical conditions. They can be effective for relieving pain, convulsion, inflammation, anxiety and nausea, and can inhibit cancer cell growth. CBDs are even used to treat schizophrenia. Elemental Wellness Center’s use of QuantaCann makes it possible to pinpoint which products are highest in THC, and CBD, and make that information available to patients.

“QuantaCann represents a game-changing solution to the challenges related to inventory and quality control at medical marijuana dispensaries,” said AnnaRae Grabstein, CEO of Steep Hill Lab.

QuantaCann was developed by Steep Hill Lab, a leading cannabis testing laboratory located in Oakland, California. The technology uses lab-quality near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) instrumentation to test the sample. Advanced proprietary multivariate statistical computation software then analyzes the data and compares the results to a database that contains information collected from thousands of other samples.

The beauty of QuantaCann is that it allows dispensaries to conduct evaluations of the medicines brought in by their members, determine if they need to stock up on that item, and ensure their inventory is fresh in only a few minute. It not only gives Elemental Wellness the ability to aggregate the collective’s inventory, it helps them achieve better quality control.

“Patients have the right to know what is in the medicine they take,” said Amanda Snyder, Member Services Manager at Elemental Wellness. “QuantaCann is another way we give our patients the high level of care they deserve.”

New Book from Charles Franc & Associates, Inc.: “The Complete Guide to Strategic Marketing for the Cardiovascular Service Line”

Posted on by

New Book from Charles Franc & Associates, Inc.: “The Complete Guide to Strategic Marketing for the Cardiovascular Service Line”











John W. Meyer, Lead Author


Dana Point, CA (PRWEB) April 04, 2012

The evolution of hospital marketing programs over the preceding 30 years has followed an undulating trajectory roughly aligned with the hospital industry’s economic health, the emergence of managed care organizations and increasing financial pressures. In the 1980s, in house marketing departments with a comprehensive cross section of skills were common as hospitals promoted themselves primarily in a business to customer (B2C) orientation. In the 1990s, following the inevitable migration to a fundamentally managed-care environment, many formal hospital marketing programs were shut down.

Co-author John Meyer, director of a hospital marketing program in the late 1980s, experienced such a program implosion and comments in the book’s Introduction:

“It is ironic that marketing’s acceptance seemed to wane just as the whole concept of service line organization and management was developing. Compounding the marketing issue was the growth of Web-based information and, more recently, the rise of social media and the challenges associated with these new platforms.”

Today’s consumers are far more adept at researching and evaluating hospitals and cardiovascular service lines thanks to government programs promoting information availability, personal health records and social media venues. As a result, and due to the myriad publics that Cardiovascular Service Lines must serve (patients, payers, regulators, donors, physicians, employers, employees, businesses, politicians, etc.), it is more important than ever before to promote the hospital and manage its reputation in both B2B and B2C marketing contexts.

However, in the absence of supporting budgets, the responsibility for cardiovascular service line marketing increasingly lies on the shoulders of Service Line Administrators (SLAs), who often have little experience and even less time to focus on this additional responsibility.

The job of today’s cardiovascular SLA is complex and time consuming, with an expanding to-do-list including items from the mundane to the monumental. “The Complete Guide to Strategic Marketing for the Cardiovascular Service Line” presents reasonable concepts, practical tools, real-world examples and straightforward ideas to augment the SLA’s growing skill set – all within an environmental context that can enhance performance and create real value without significantly adding to the SLA’s already bloated task list. This new Guide will help the SLA to understand the environment, seek out opportunities, promote customer-oriented practices, and above all, marshal the resources required to meet and exceed market expectations.

Cornish author bursts onto eBook scene

Cornish author bursts onto eBook scene










Portreath, Cornwall (PRWEB UK) 1 March 2012

Cornish debut novelist Peter Sykes has exploded into the literary world selling thousands of novels in just a few weeks. Peter Sykes, from Portreath, used Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing and Smashwords to self-publish and sell his first two novels, “Sunday with the Devil” and “Flying Babies.” Marketing through Amazon’s Kindle Store and Smashwords’ digital partners, like Apple’s iBookstore and the Sony Reader Store, Peter Sykes was able to bypass traditional gatekeepers, such as agents and publishing-house aficionados and sell his thrillers direct to the public.

The Kindle, Sony Reader, iPad and iPhone and even humble laptops are all forms of e-book reader. They enable consumers to download novels from the internet in seconds. In the US, electronic books were outselling both hardbacks and paperbacks by as early as February 2011. Digital book sales in the UK quadrupled in 2010, according to the Publishers Association, and continue to grow exponentially.

“Self-publishing electronic books is allowing the reading public to make their own choices,” said Peter Sykes. “Quality authors can now achieve publishing targets hitherto unthinkable without a contract.” Asked about the secret to his success, Mr Sykes puts it simply: “While most successful authors are selling eBooks for around £7, I sell them at 77 pence. Famous novelists now have to prove that their books are ten times better than mine.”

Readers can purchase the novels at:

Sunday with the Devil http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B007AIC3G4 and

Flying Babies http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B007CGTEY8

Peter Sykes has so far written two novels, “Sunday with the Devil” and “Flying Babies.” Pete was brought up in Africa and the Caribbean and currently directs humanitarian responses to natural and man-made disasters. Now working for Save the Children, Pete started his career in the private sector in Europe. Latterly, he has spent over fifteen years in some of the most troubled parts of the world and has been a small part of history in the making in many countries. His unusual background adds critical authority to both the settings and characters in his novels and Pete has already started writing his third work of fiction.
