furthermore, given Indy's excellent cost/benefit analysis, it makes sense to use UpDox. I didn't like that it was tied to OneBox, which made it very confusing. If they two are separate, I'm going to consider using UpDox.
Thanks everyone for the feedback.
We have setup multiple practices on Updox, never even seen the OneBox name, so I believe that is 'ancient history'. I thought I would get some rotten tomatoes for a cost-modeling side-bar; the reader can easily take a wild guess what I have been doing this weekend.
Now that I have actually run the numbers I would make the argument that UpDox makes sense for the Patient Portal alone.
One of the things that we have been recommending to Providers is that from a business-modeling perspective, that the one thing that they can do is focus on NOT practicing 'phone-medicine'. You don't get paid for it, it inhibits you seeing patients that you are getting paid to see, and some of that communication can be handled through the patient portal. [I will interject here, as was pointed out in Tahoe, that if you live in a rural community where your patients know your home phone and your dogs' names, this will be much harder - with a loving nod to my favorite mule-skinner]
In the event that someone wants to run the numbers for their practice, just send me a PM with you specific numbers, and I'll run it through the spreadsheet this I built this AM. I hacked mine into the bottom of another project that was already up on my screen; I'm sure Gino builds better spreadsheets
