Hi Henry
You have what is known lately as a micropractice.
You may found interesting an article published in Medical Economic Magazine in 2006 about how some doctos have done it.
The web site is memag.com (part of Modern Medicine) If you haven't, you will need to register. It is free. Then just search the word micropractice.
There are many ways on how to set such a practice. I will depend mainly on your budget; however, you must definately will need to rely a lot on technology to make it easier to handle.
If I were to start such a practice today I will have a small office with small reception area and maybe one or two exam rooms
One Receptionist/MA during business hours. It will be necesary to be a female MA since I will need to be chapperoned for some exams for female patients. For this last particular reason, I will avoid not have a least one female MA.
One Desktop PC in the reception area where my AC main database will reside.
One laptop wirely connected to the Desktop while in the office.
Out side the office, I will connect to the desktop via logmein and will I prob. use the Verizon Wireless Mobile Broadband adapter to be able to get connected from almost anywhere.
For Phone services I will explore Onebox Virtual Phone system
and I will have One Networkable Printer/Fax/Scanner.
This are Just a few Ideas. Here in this great forum, I am sure you will find more and more ideas on how to set the Micropractice of your dreams. Good Luck!!!
