How Many Work from an Office?

[BOwens21]

I work in an office 8-4 M-F. It only takes my 5 minutes to get to work. After work I pick my kids up and I'm home by 4:15. I'm on call 24/7 and most of what I do (IT) can be done remotely so I try not to come in after hours if I don't have to.

My practice is 100% office based.

What's your take on telemedicine?

What's your take on telemedicine?

Neat idea.
I'm not sure how to implement it in my practice.

Was working with a company in Miami (Scribe USA) who was heavily exploring this. There is a model already set up that works in Europe. The issue here is compliance etc.

It will eventually happen, think of it like legal zoom, except house visits happen if necessary.

Yeah, if I had a long commute I'd probably feel differently - but my commute is about 1/2 mile, down an oak tree lined, brick street. It takes me about 1 minute, maybe 75 seconds if my neighbor beats me to the stop sign & I have to come to a complete stop instead of rolling through.

Half mile and you drive? You know where you should stick your carbon footprint?

I drive so little these days I feel like rainmain when people ask me what diesel costs for my truck. Ah $8 a gallon? Not sure, I gas up every 3 weeks or so, I don't care.

It's already out there.

Tele Doc. 24/7 access to board certified doctors. Connect in minutes via phone, video or mobile app.

It's part of my health benefits at work.

The real issue is reimbursement. Telemedicine is here and is used in many places, including the agency I work for, but a lot of physicians won't do it b/c insurance won't pay for it. Of course, compliance is also part of the problem as there is a great debate in the medical community about licensing and crossing state lines.
