A number of our practitioner clients in the North East and the Mid West have reported lower collections in a traditionally busy time for their practices due to the seemingly constant snow and ice.

This situation reminded me of an article I read last year in USA Today which was looking at the ways in which primary care physicians were using innovative new business models to grow and streamline their businesses. It is well worth a read!

We are helping a few of our clients offer snow storm solutions such a Skype consults, so patients can be seen from their own home. This is helping practitioners to retain patients and income when roads are impassable, or when patients become lazy. Or both.

If you would like help implementing a program like this into your clinic, pease get in touch!
