Spantel Retains Attention Group For PR and Market Development.

PRINCETON, N.J. -- With an eye on new growth based on the recent success they achieved in securing agreements to provide high-quality medical transcription services to four major medical center hospitals in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Arizona, Spantel has retained the services of The Attention Group, a high-tech and healthcare-oriented marketing and public relations agency. In this new role, Attention will help Spantel move to the next level of success in providing medical transcription technology to both large and small hospitals throughout the U.S.

"With the recent positive news of our Tucson and Syracuse deployments, and the acquisition of several prestigious medical center clients in New Jersey, we are positioned to better communicate our story to both large and small hospital markets, and to expand their awareness that HIM and hospital management executives think of us as one of the top alternative technology medical transcription firms in the world," said Spantel CEO Janak Pandit. "It is time for us to aggressively reach out to the marketplace via professional communications, to open doors for new customer acquisition, to enhance revenue and increase our status and stature in the medical transcription industry. To accomplish all of this, we have retained Attention to guide our public emergence into these critical market segments.

"Attention has a reputation for getting the word out and showcasing high tech healthcare companies with both the healthcare and the business media," Janak added. "Because of that expertise, Attention will use their innovative marketing programs to help us elevate our awareness both inside and outside of the hospital market."

The Attention Group has roots in healthcare public relations and marketing communications that go back to the late 70s, and the firm continues to stay at the forefront of innovation. "We strongly believe Spantel has a great story to tell - one sure to be of interest to the healthcare, high-tech and business media," Daryl Toor, CEO and Chief Awareness Officer of Attention explained. "We intend to bring that news to targeted publications in those fields - as well as to their decision-making readers. We intend to reach those key hospital leaders who'll be choosing Spantel's innovative services to meet their next-generation, fully-HIPAA-compliant medical transcription needs. We look forward to working with Spantel to ensure that hospitals are fully aware of their better solutions, and how those better solutions can impact hospital operations, quality patient care - and, significantly, hospital bottom lines."
