Business Discussion Portal For Doctors

The other day, I came across a doctor-patient interactive website at www.med3q.com and I noticed that they have a section specifically for doctors only. Today, I have the pleasure to be introduced to BizRx.

I have a couple of doctor friends and one common problem they share is the lack of time to explore other things apart from medicine. They told me that with the easy access and availability of BizRx, they are able to learn business in an informal way that can be applied to their medical practice.

One thing to note is that BizRx is a portal for credentialed doctors ONLY. However, once they are registered with the site, they are able to fully utilise the features for free. Once a week, there will be a podcast interview with business experts. These podcasts are only 5 - 7 minutes long for easy listening and understanding, especially made to cater to the busy doctors.

The first interview on the site is with Linda Mounce of Alliance Bank. She specializes in doctor deals hence this first issue will be exceptionally useful to doctors. Subsequent episodes will be with other experts in the field of medical practice in a business point of view.

All podcast interviews will be archived so there is no worry about missing an episode. There really is nothing commercial about Med3q.com as there is nothing to buy or sell but it provides an informal environment for doctors to learn and discuss business.

MED3Q.COM LAUNCHES BizRx™:
THE PRESCRIPTION FOR HEALTHY PHYSICIAN PRACTICES


FORT WORTH, Texas (July 9, 2007) – One dose of BizRx™ a day keeps the doctor’s practice in good health.

BizRx, a new service at www.med3q.com that launches today, addresses common points of pain faced by busy doctors in the areas of business, practice management, patient relations, personal finance and much more.

Engaging and stimulating audio interviews with business experts are regularly served up at the site in 5-to-7 minute increments to doctors who have joined med3q. Membership in the health-focused social-networking site is free.

“I see tremendous potential for BizRx because practice management is such a huge issue,” says Dr. Ralph A. Gambardella, chairman of Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles.

Credentialed med3q doctors can access fascinating interviews with successful business experts, presentations and other educational tools on the med3q site developed just for them.

The BizRx series will include topics of interest to physicians such as:
 Finance issues for doctor’s practices,
 Succession plans and exit strategies for doctors,
 What physicians need to know about medical malpractice and how to win at trial,
 Successful medical group integration, and
 The development and operation of physician-owned outpatient surgery centers and other facilities.

Bite-size and relevant, BizRx helps time-crunched doctors think through important, but too often neglected, aspects of their professional lives that affect the day-to-day management of their practice, revenue and profitability, wealth building, patient satisfaction, risk and more.

“Physicians have limited time to spend thinking about their businesses,” adds Dr. Darren Lackan, president of the Diabetes and Thyroid Center of Fort Worth. “We tend to focus on patient care and leave business matters to others. That’s why the expert advice offered in BizRx and other physicians’ comments in the med3q forums regarding what works in their practices is vital.”
