We’ve been busily preparing for our exhibit at the NextGen Users Group Meeting and are excited to head to Washington DC!
It’s funny how healthcare has just lagged behind in doing things online.  In many ways, I can understand it — earlier today I spoke with a pain management doctor about whether he wanted to allow […]

I went to the HIMSS Conference in Chicago earlier this year.  When I wasn’t getting milkshakes in a booth designed to look like a 1950’s diner or learning about the latest & greatest with interoperability, I took a few minutes to chat with Eric Fishman, MD of EHRTV.com.  Dr. Fishman interviewed me on the Omedix […]

We just got back from the GE Centricity Healthcare Users Group meeting, where we unveiled our new patient portal, PortalPlus.

We started Omedix back in 2004 with the mission of using the web to create better medical practices.  When we began, we helped our clients do that by providing medical website design and patient education services.  […]

I’m writing now from beautiful (and breezy) Charlotte, NC where I managed to convince the hotel to give me a mostly undeserving room upgrade, and so I have a rather spectacular view of downtown right now!
This is our third consecutive year showing at the AAOE Conference (it used to be called BONES).  This is basically […]

My Thoughts from the 2007 Information Therapy Conference

I’ll be honest. I was sort of conferenced out when I was heading to Park City, UT for the next Information Therapy Conference. I figure these conferences are only as valuable as the people I meet and the extent to which the information I learn impacts current or future behavior. “Conference Burn […]

I’m still here in San Francisco, and yesterday (Thu, Sep 20) was the Health 2.0 Conference. The idea behind the conference was to see how the latest & greatest on the Web (”Web 2.0″) applies to Healthcare. Does it get any more relevant for what we do?
Most conferences are better for the people […]

Gearing up for the BONES Conference

Well, it’s been about one year, so it’s time to gear up for the annual BONES Conference! To the uninitiated, BONES is the national society for Orthopedic Practice Managers and is one of the major shows of the year for us. About 500 practice managers show up, and an army of vendors readies […]

Thoughts from the Information Therapy Conference

September 26th, 2006 · Posted in Conferences, The Business of Healthcare, Ix / Patient Education · 0 Comments

I’m here in Park City, UT for the sixth annual Information Therapy Conference. For the uninitiated, Information Therapy is simply the idea that Patient Education can be as “therapeutic” as medicine itself when exactly the right information is delivered at precisely the right time.
For example, one physician here at the conference said that after […]

Wow, we just got back from the BONES conference (the largest annual gathering of orthopaedic practice managers), and talk about a success.  We met a ton of practice managers and learned what they’re looking for in their sites.  Now comes the hard part: following up with everyone in a reasonable time frame.
Conferences are funny because you’d […]
