Top Story:
Switching Vendors? Now what. |
|
 Approaching
your existing medical software or hardware clients and informing
them you’ve found something new and better can be somewhat
challenging. For one, if their existing medical software and/or
hardware isn’t working for them, they probably blame you. If their
systems are working for them, thus far, they may not have any desire
to look at other options. It is this dilemma that you may find
yourself in when switching from and old vendor to a new vendor.

Economics
of Automation |
What can we learn from the banking
industry? Bankers don’t make routine
withdrawals and deposits, they have the ATM. Banks are
not open late at night. ATMs are. Bankers don’t manually
record inter-bank and intra-bank transfers. They have
sophisticated EDI systems that make all the transfers,
record all the deposits and withdrawals, and make all
the payments.

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. |

EHR Corner:
Cost
Justifying EHR |
Experienced salespeople know that buying
decisions are primarily emotional. But it has been said
that after the emotional decision has been made the
rational mind must justify the decision, and that is
where cost justification comes in. Hopefully you and/or
your software vendor have some case studies which
document financial success with EHR. But will your
prospects believe these case studies? What does
the research show about EHR benefits?

Quote-of-the-Month |
"If you look ahead in the 21st century,
this really should be what many experts have called and
the economists have called the biomedical century.
Healthcare and biotechnology and innovation in medicine
are areas where the United States can lead the way for
the world in innovation, can lead the way for the world
in helping people live much longer and much better
lives," Dr. Mark McClellan
administrator of
the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in a
recent interview with CSM (10.06.2006).

At a recent party, a tipsy man, on hearing
that I was a physician, asked me to do something "medical."
So I kept him waiting. Then I sent him a bill.
