Hello Everyone,

First off, I wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy New Year and all too common and hypocrite/PC Happy Holidays.

I will be starting my own practice in mid 2009. I would greatly appreciate if I can get some guidance/cyber-mentorship from you wise and experienced folks.

My set up would be a base clinic where I can set up a server (or big desktop) and internet (T-1 is not impossible to consider, if need be)and 'girls'. My preference will be to stay as paperless and electronic as possible. We will have upto 3 'provider' working at one time- 1 at base clinic and 2 at satellite clinics. Satellite clinic will have an internet connection, laptop(s) and one girl to room pt in. Only Doctor visit there, and no procedures.

I will prefer electronic faxes coming straight to my desktop/server/satellite laptops. I will prefer using virtual PBX/answering system alternative. Would prefer to fax electronically. would have forms and photo and card and ID etc etc stored electronically. Ideally, dollar bills would be the only paper in my office.:-)

First issue I would like to answer for myself is what kind of hardware set-up would you recommend to meet these needs?

Please pardon me for not sharing my real name for next few months until I am out of my current contract.
