Guest guest Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 i was waiting to see if anyone was going to be more polite than me. YO! cassell! get out of here! buzz off. got it? and no lurking either. perhaps we should track and expose as inappropriate anyone who solicits us here (second occurrence by an emr vendor), and/or a vendor who directly solicits any member of the listserve after monitoring the group. of course, the member would have to report the solicitation here. then the question might be, was the solicitation wanted or unwanted? any suggestions on how we can control this, or has it not yet become a large enough problem? should we become some type of locked forum? of course, since cassell was so kind to provide his phone #, he could be called. i've just called him right now, and he denies soliciting anything. i told him that i had his email right in front of me, read it to him, and told him to post no more.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Dear Doctor, As I had TRIED to tell you on the phone...I AM NOT AN EMR VENDOR. If you go to my website (www.medpracticeflow.com) you will see what I do. All I ask is that you do the research before making accusations (analogy, making a diagnosis AFTER doing the exam). I simply compile info on companies that offices can turn to for their specific needs. I try to sort out all of the garbage for these offices. bill lawrence lyon wrote: i was waiting to see if anyone was going to be more polite than me.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Please see our mission statement section on the website. "Medpracticeflow.com is dedicated to educating and enlightening practices and ultimately their patients on these breakthroughs in the delivery of medicine and how it can help both the practitioner improve their profitability and also benefit the patient by providing a better level of patient care. To this end everyone at Medpracticeflow.com and all of our partners hope that this repository of information and resources will help each part of the healthcare equation interact more efficiently and profitably." BTW, a drug rep works for the drug company. I DO NOT work for any of the companies that I have up there nor did I charge them for being there. They are representative of client-focused well built technology solutions that I have been exposed to to help the small to mid sized practice. There are NO charges for any questions submitted on that forum. The visitor MUST contact the partner directly if they want more info we do not automatically route those inquiries to the companies. In other words we are trying to help the medical office help thier patients and bottom lines, simple? Sometimes things are just what they seem to be nothing more nothing less. bill Brock DO wrote: Yes, I agree!

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Can we further discuss securing the membership/participants on the list serve? I would like to share my 6 month figures with the group, but I really don't want to give it away to any " business consultant " parasites that are lurking in the shadows. I don't know much about these email lists, but there must be some way to go through and verify all the participants are physicians trying to improve our system. I'm all for being inclusive and welcoming new docs into the group, but I don't want to see some MBA-type stealing the ideas and profiting from our work (I'd rather see Gordon and others write the book and get the credit!).
