So given the background and the environment that we laid out in the first section of the presentation, how can CIL's Center for Independent living leverage new technology to expand services? How can we compete in an increasingly aggressive home and community-based services environment? What are the opportunities out there to develop new fee-for-service models for personal assistance services? And most importantly, and we meet the emerging personal care needs of individuals who do not qualify for Medicaid but who do not have the resources to hire private health companies? So now, where should we start? Next slide. For MCIL, surprise, we started with quick match! Quick match is a new delivery model for providing high all services, bringing the best of high-tech online caregiver matching web-based software through our Center for Independent living's high touch personal assistant living program par so what is quick match? As I mentioned earlier, quick match was launched in 2010 for MCIL's own internal registry. Word spread and other community-based organizations began calling to sign up. We, MCIL, recognize that quick match was more than just a web application, but an entirely new model for providing home care. And now to date quick match is it a network of six organizations in California and one organization in Missouri, and we are continuing to grow. In fact, we just signed up a new partner here in the Bay Area, the Center for independence of people with disabilities in San Mateo, which we are very excited about. The other thing just to add to this slide, we recognize that there are other tools, online databases like care.com and care links, to name two, that provide online matching. And we recognize that providing online matching is not necessarily innovative in and of itself. But the power of providing that online matching with the Center for Independent living's home and community-based services, that high touch piece is what makes the partnership between quick match and independent living centers so effective. Next slide. Why we choose to put PAS services online?
