Go Social -OR- Go Home?

By Staff Reporters

Likes, followers, circles, networks and shares are all jargon used around the internet. Social media is the new language and being fluent is very necessary in business today. In fact, we have written about it before on this ME-P. Why?

Social media allows you to connect with your patients, clients, customers and viewers on a level that becomes personalized and more intimate. This in turn brings loyal patients and clients who become a part of your business model; both professionally and socially.

However, social media integration is a gradual process with huge long term rewards, potential benefits and pitfalls. And, the jury is still out on its’ relevance to medical practices, financial advisors and medical management consultants? Or, is it?

Assessment

So, here is an infographic breaking down the important facts and tips of social media.

Dr. Phillips clinical career includes positions in academic medicine, private practice and as an independent contractor.

Personal Philosophy

Jim believes that modern healthcare professionals receive the best medical education in the world, but receive little or no education in the business of medicine in medical or professional school or during clinical training.

According to Dr. Phillips: Medicine may be a calling – but – the practice of medicine is a business.

Assessment:

Dr. Phillips’s quest for higher education led to the founding of: The OTHER Medical Education, Inc., a place where health care professionals can obtain the business education they need. Clients include a wide variety of health care professionals including physicians, dentists, pharmacists, veterinarians, podiatrists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and others. These health care professionals may have their own practices, work within someone’s practice or be employed by a health care facility or company. They may or may not be involved in the decision making process of the practice. However, they recognize sound business practices even if not directly involved in the decision making process, and are involved in their own personal finances.
