Jon Hickman – MDB Capital
Hello, can you hear me?
Susan Conner
Yes.
Rick Spurr
Yes.
Jon Hickman – MDB Capital
I was wondering if you could talk about your ability to retain the doctors that you sign up on this e-Prescribing banner.
Rick Spurr
Yes, sure. So we hadn’t seen any change in retention certainly for the negative. If anything, it’s improving and that’s due to we think longevity of usage by the docs, the longer they use it, the more comfortable they are with it of course. And the legislative landscape that’s made it clear to the medical community that you’ve got to move towards electronic digitization of medical exchanges.
Jon Hickman – MDB Capital
So, could you give us how many doctors are you – are actually actively using these days?
Rick Spurr
We are still just north of 3000 and so whatever attrition we have had, we’ve back-filled with new active docs from new deployments.
Susan Conner
And Jon, to be specific, Rick is right. We are, at the end of September, 3075, so just short of 3100. And we have finally started to see what we have told you guys about for – actually I think we’ve been telling you for about 12 months about this shift to one of our doctor groups on to an EMR and we knew that was coming and that has actually occurred and that’s really the biggest drop that you see in these numbers from the last quarter. So, other than that, we haven’t seen any unusual change in the attrition rate.
Jon Hickman – MDB Capital
Okay, thanks.
Susan Conner
Thank you, Jon.

Fred Ziegel – Blue Water Capital Markets
Hi, everybody.
Rick Spurr
Hello, Fred.
Susan Conner
Hi, Fred.
Fred Ziegel – Blue Water Capital Markets
Couple of questions. Rick – I guess one to Rick and one to Susan – I think you commented that your channel partner revenues were on the weak side, so my question on that part of the business outside of what you can’t control, which is the economy, are there any steps you can take or are planning on taking to get the OEM business moving at a brisker pace than it’s been.
