Physician Assistants Establish Online Presence

Staff Reporters

As face-time with doctors is increasingly limited, the role of physician and nurse practitioners has become integral in the healthcare system. However, it hasn’t exactly become easier for PAs and NPs to obtain information about drugs and treatments. That’s about to change according to George Koroneous, the Online Content and News Editor for Pharmaceutical Executive.com on October 8, 2008.

Just Launched

Launched last week, www.Clinician1.com  is a Facebook-style social networking site targeted to the 200,000 physician and nurse practitioners that prescribe drugs in all 50 states. It features personal information pages, medical education, and areas to facilitate two-way conversations between like-minded clinicians.

Website Proposition

According to its’ website, Clinician 1 was created by leading Nurse Practitioners [NPs] and Physician Assistants [Pas]. Clinician 1 is the first Internet community where NPs and PAs across all specialties can connect, consult and converse.

Barack Obama and Health Policy

Posted on November 6, 2008 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

What Do -U- Think?

Dr. David Edward Marcinko; MBA, CMP™

[Publisher-in-Chief]

Dr David E Marcinko MBAFirst it was Nixon’s supply-side national healthcare proposal; then it was managed care and HMO’s; next came HillaryCare, and finally the Republican’s “Contract with America”. So, will the next domestic healthcare policy initiative be; “Obama Care?”

Number 44 is Official

Now, that the United States has officially elected Barack H. Obama – the 44th president with 62 million popular votes – what does it mean to you as a doctor, financial advisor, politician, healthcare administrator, CEO, physician or nurse executive? And, what will this mean for – healthcare policy and administration  – patients and virtually all of us going forward?

Election

After nearly two years of campaigning – countless debates about McCain versus Obama’s health plan – and the possibility of reform; the US has a president-elect and put Democratic majorities in both the House of Congress and the US Senate.

Opinions Vary

And so, what do you predict the next four years will bring? This is your chance to reflect, comment, opine and debate. Please share your thoughts, and let’s get a vigorous discussion going. Medical practitioner input is especially appreciated.

Assessment

Don’t forget to integrate your opinions with the current dismal economic scene; include challenges like the aging population, personal biomedical and genetic engineering initiatives, and related competitive healthcare 2.0 concepts. As an inside – or outsider – what is the future?
