support, there are a several important business
decisions to make that will enable you to begin making
money in this vertical market. In any business, no
decision is more important than deciding what the core of
your business will be. What will you center your business
around? For example, in healthcare, you
could specialize in selling hardware, billing services,
accounting services, or medical-based software.
Each healthcare business model offers their own unique
set of opportunities and challenges. Regardless,
in it imperative that you identify your "main thing" before your
business can really move forward. You can't have two main
things, or two cores, and expect to be truly successful. In
the words of the Holy Bible, "No man can serve two masters."

offices? Either outcome is possible." -- David Brailer MD,

About
InvestMed |
The InvestMed eNewsletter was developed as a resource for
healthcare and technology resellers to receive help, training, and

addresses a need for communication, information, and
education that wasn't currently being addressed by the
industry vendors as a whole. The InvestMed Monthly
eNewsletter reaches nearly 7000 healthcare and technology
industry professionals each month (via e-mail and the
Web) containing articles and
information written specifically for their unique
market. Additionally, InvestMed has branched out
into developing solutions for problems that the vendors
in the marketplace haven't addressed;
solutions like
InvestMed's Patient Kiosk.

HIPAA
Corner: Regulatory Developments |
If resellers had a hard time
keeping track of HIPAA, they are bound to be even more
bewildered over the next 5 years. This is because there
is a flurry of government initiatives designed to
promote interoperable EHRs. We will take a break from
HIPAA this month to explore just two recent developments
of significant impact on resellers – proposed changes to
the Stark laws, and a timeline for EHR Certification.
