Santos, as a developer, I personally believe
"e-vists and on-line scheduling of appointments" are over rated, and are just a myriad of technology too fraught with possible HIPPA violations for the small practitioner to worry about.
With a really good scheduling system it takes my MA less than 2 minutes to make Mrs. Jones (89 years old) appointment. I would hate to have Mrs. Jones calling me for support to make her appointment! If you have a younger patient base maybe, but I don't think it is ready for prime time. On our own website,
www.jmcopeland.md we are able to put our registration forms online for our patients, and that saves use both time and money.
I think we should wait a few years to see how the new "healthcare" will look. Just my two cents...
