Obama Wants Efficient Health Care, Astute Physician Helps Doctors Provide It
Declining reimbursements and escalating operating costs are forcing physicians to learn more about efficient practice management. Astute Physician's innovative website connects physicians with local service providers, one another, and informative articles from industry experts on various business, legal and career issues. Astute Physician is poised to help America's health care system become more efficient.
San Antonio, TX (PRWEB) November 3, 2009 -- Doctors don't learn how to start or run a medical practice in medical school, so it's not a surprise that many medical offices run inefficiently. Changes taking place in Washington will force physicians to learn more about the business side of medicine or face the economic pressures that have forced other businesses to close their doors. President Obama believes that overhauling the ailing health care system is vital for the nation's long-term economic stability. Astute Physician was created to help physicians meet this challenge. The website offers in-depth, educational articles on business, law, career, and lifestyle. Physicians can interact with one another to find answers to complex issues. They can also connect with top-notched professionals in other industries that can help them run a high-quality, efficient practice. Astute Physician's goal is to help physicians remain independent business owners, thereby allowing them to be unbiased advocates for their patients.
 Founder and CEO, Relief Jones, III, M.D., a graduate of Stanford University and the Duke University School of Medicine states, “I initially built this website to assist residents and fellows navigate the mind field of securing their first job. The site has morphed into a more robust resource for physicians, as we now strive to provide the tools physicians need to start and run their own medical practices in an efficient manner.” The Services Board is truly unique. In the past, physicians going out on their own had no place to turn to get information on finding office space, business loans, lawyers, equipment, and practice management software. Dr. Jones replied, “Physicians typically called their more experienced colleagues to garner information about starting or running a practice. There wasn't an established path to follow in textbooks or online. Astute Physician is changing that.”
The site also doubles as a powerful advertising platform for individuals who provide services or products for physicians. Dr. Jones states, “Businesses that provide services or products for physicians typically spend large sums of money on print advertising. The Astute Physician website allows businesses to dynamically market themselves to physicians at a ridiculously low cost. For example, a business posts a listing in the proper category on the Services and Products Board. They subsequently submit informative articles for physicians to be posted on the Blog. Astute Physician works behind the scenes to drive online traffic to the articles using search engine optimization and ultimately to relevant advertisers on the Services & Products Board.”
We are discovering that the site saves physicians and businesses time, money, and allows them to operate more efficiently. On the back end, this will ultimately translate into savings for patients.
