Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) April 1, 2009 -- Patient Placement Systems announced today the launch of CaringForward.com, a Web site designed for continuing care professionals to discuss and learn about challenges, advancements and technologies in long term care. "The long-term care industry has begun to embrace the Internet as a forum of sharing information and exchanging ideas," said Doug Walker, vice president of marketing for Patient Placement Systems, in the site's first post. "We're launching CaringForward.com to join the discussion . . . (with) other information and fresh ideas about how long-term care providers can use technology to achieve their mission of care while improving business and operational performance."

The editors at Long-Term Living Magazine provided another recent example of how the industry is adopting the Web and social media tools to connect and share ideas with the launch of its online Networking Space.

"Long-Term Living decided to further expand its presence into the Web 2.0 (social media) phenomenon," the editors said when announcing the new site and interactive features.
