One of the things that almost everyone doing so looses track of is 'What's in it for the poor sap providing the data'. You always have to keep that poor sap (the physician in your case) in mind and do your very best to both streamline their experience and provide some benefit directly to them that makes it worthwhile.

Trust me, you have no idea of the sheer volume of crap this involves. It used to be possible to set up a work flow so that you could train someone to handle the most redundant of the paperwork and ensure that you just got the necessary stuff routed to you. <aasaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02338904594255867014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18943510.post-23003381302529863042010-02-11T10:26:40.541-06:002010-02-11T10:26:40.541-06:00Dr. Wes,

We had insurance but I was amazed when I was still getting hospital/doctor bills more than a year later! I had to research them because I was worried about billing errors (double billing) - a natural assumption when billed at such a late date.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18943510.post-22147462654251407802010-02-11T08:34:06.963-06:002010-02-11T08:34:06.963-06:00One has to pay the piper.

Thanks for sharing! I sometimes feel this way about email and other 'efficient' technologies. I find that it is an expectation that you answer your emails right away, but at times I just need to let them sit for a while, whether to do a better job with the reply later or because there is another urgent task waiting.

Suddenly every piece of data that you could put your hands on needed to be scrubbed and added to the database (most notably at relational one) as quickly as possible. The problem two decades later is that most of the data is still not usable for what Named Just Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313050416904631547noreply@blogger.com
