Taking control
I think one of the most important things for physicians to realize is that they can take total control over how they manage their own communications and information. This is a our mission at UpDox, which I have co-founded. We also have a relative shortage of physicians and other healthcare providers upcoming. This means it is time to stop reacting to what we think others are telling us we have to do, and stand up for what believe is the right way to do things. We dont want to rush and our patients dont want to be rushed. We want to be paid for our time and patients are used to paying professionals of all other sorts for their time already. And we want to determine what aspects of what types of technologies best serve our own needs, not “accept” among a limited list of what other organizations decide are our options. More on this later
