In collaboration with 35 affiliated hospitals, QHR has developed a Hospital Web Template™ and publishing strategy that will save hospitals valuable time and resources in creating and publishing a professional Web site to establish an Internet presence. Among other things, the strategy includes the template product, several publishing assistance options and Web site hosting services.

The Hospital Web Template™ is a Web site publishing template specifically designed for hospital use. The Template includes all of the functions a community hospital needs in a comprehensive, easy-to-use, turnkey offering. It contains flexible features and options, a user interface that software novices can understand and an integrated help function. The Template organizes and publishes all of the content collected by a hospital. Hospitals that choose the Template minimize up-front investment by eliminating Web site development cost. The Template will be continually enhanced and upgraded by QHR to meet the growing needs of its client facilities.

The Template delivers a customizable Web site, creating a unique Web presence for each hospital. It contains many valuable features that a hospital can choose to use or ignore. If a hospital chooses not to use a feature, that feature is hidden from site visitors. Once a hospital has selected the features it wants to enable, selected the feature alternatives it wants to use and added its headers, graphics and content, the resulting site ends up being both unique and powerful. Key features available on the Template include:

1. A news feed located on the home page for current news, information and events at your hospital.*
   • A library for articles and press releases that are automatically archived from the news feed.*
2. Interactive maps and driving directions to the hospital using MapBlast! integration or your own maps.
