MGMA-zing! |

Getting information about your product or service
past the front desk (i.e. the gatekeeper) and into the hands of the
office manager or clinical staff can be one of the biggest
challenges in getting your business recognized by the important
decision makers in an office. Mailers and drop offs generally just
get lost in the garbage with the hundreds of pharmaceutical mailers
that the office receives each month. Trade shows can be in
incredible opportunity to mix and mingle with decision makers, but
finding the right trade show can be tricky.

Economics of Automation |
Small Business Profit Margins
Shrinking. With profits
continually on the squeeze, small businesses must
constantly look for ways to improve efficiency. Medical
offices are no exception and may actually be more
vulnerable due to traditionally high dependence upon
paper documents, labor intensive tasks, and the
unusually high level of government regulation.
Ironically, the best response to the profit squeeze is
often to spend or “invest” in order to save.

About
InvestMed |
|
The InvestMed eNewsletter was developed as a resource for
healthcare and technology resellers to receive help, training, and
information pertinent to their success. It
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. |

Since this is key element of the national plan for
interoperable health records, resellers should

organizations.

A doctor is talking to his medical software rep,
"Your fee is several times more per hour then we get paid for
medical care." "Yeah, but you see, doc, you've always had the same

the new updates coming out every month." |
