Our podcast guest, Grady Gibbs, Product Manager and Strategic Relationship Development at Evolve Medical Consulting   How can "Direct-to-Employer" contracting lower healthcare costs and benefit employers, employees, and doctors? How can doctors utilize virtual tools to build their practices and help their patients? What are the biggest challenges for doctors when it comes to educating their patients about new, beneficial therapies? How can doctors improve their patient education to help their patients and build their practices? We'll unpack it all in our conversation with Grady ...   Other Topics Discussed   Can healthcare really be a win-win-win for patients, employers, and doctors? Lowering health care costs Improving doctor-patient relationships Branding/marketing for doctors   Grady Gibbs helps healthcare companies engage more doctors and he helps doctors sell more products and procedures. After a career in investment banking and finance, and a return to graduate school, Grady became an expert in applying statistics and research to consult on brand strategy for some of the largest marketers in the United States. After launching a direct-to-consumer ad campaign for a drug company, he realized doctors needed more help than drug companies and began what is now an almost 20 year career serving doctors and helping them achieve the triple aim: good for the patient, good for the system, good for the doctor.   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

According to ScribeAmerica, 'A Medical Scribe is essentially a personal assistant to the physician; performing documentation in the EHR, gathering information for the patient's visit, and partnering with the physician to deliver the pinnacle of efficient patient care.'   Great Concierge Doctors learn to focus daily, on only doing what only they can do. And, they've empowered those they work with to do the same.   Today we want to talk about your strengths and weaknesses as a Physician-leader. More importantly, why delegating your weakness and empowering your team to do what they are good at allows you to focus on precisely what you are good at.   Case in point. The Medical Scribe.   What is a Medical Scribe?   According to ScribeAmerica, 'A Medical Scribe is a revolutionary concept in modern medicine.  Traditionally, a physician's job has been focusing solely on direct patient contact and care.  However, the advent of the Electronic Health Record (EHR) created an overload of documentation and clerical responsibilities that slows physicians down and pulls them away from actual patient care. To relieve the documentation overload, physicians across the country are turning to Medical Scribe services.'   RESOURCES MENTIONED   https://www.scribeamerica.com/what-is-a-medical-scribe/ https://conciergemedicineforum.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_scribe   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

I've often wondered why America's Best Places to Work rarely ever includes a Doctor's office, a hospital or even an urgent care?   We'd all want to lean on these successful medical environments in our time of need, medical curiosity or urgent care matters, right?   I'm of the persuasion to believe as many Patients do that the staff working inside a medical practice reflect the values, charisma and leadership of the Physician or group of Physicians working in the practice.   Meaning, if the staff is unhappy, typically that also means the person in charge, who is often the Physician is also unhappy.   And, we don't need to cover the litany of reasons why a Physician might be unhappy. There are plenty of medical journal articles and blogs that do that already.   What if Patient satisfaction was dependent on employee satisfaction?   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.
