  • In The Pursuit Of Health, Community Will See Us Through
    11/16/2020

    Our society functions on the foundation of numerous social contracts: public education, civil liberties, fair taxes, criminal justice. The crises of this year have tested America’s social contracts in unprecedented ways and brought our nation to a time that will someday be reflected upon as a turning point. Yet our healthcare system, the importance of which we are now starkly reminded daily, persists outside the bounds of our social contracts—not fully embraced as a collective pursuit. Healthcare in America continues to be largely viewed as an institution citizens engage with on a very individualized level. We now face an opportunity to embrace a new take and work as a team to save lives.

  • Technology You Can't Afford Not To Include In Your Budget
    9/4/2018

    The end of 2018 is fast approaching, and that means healthcare practices are making plans for the upcoming year. Everything from marketing strategies to physical improvements in providers’ offices, the beginning of a new year is the perfect time for a fresh start. And with that fresh start comes budget discussions. The goal of every business is to minimize spending and maximize revenue, so often times budget conversations center around areas where practices can decrease costs. In the healthcare world, it can be difficult to justify increasing costs with new technology when practice margins are tight. But sometimes the right patient relationship management (PRM) technology can make a big impact on the bottom line and be well worth the investment, as it quickly pays for itself in increased visits and improved efficiency.
