Link: MGMA launches social networking platform.
Amazing! I never thought I would see the day that physicians and the medical community would move to social networking platforms. This is exciting because the collective knowledge of the community, when shared, can truly help to improve delivery of patient care. Only one question...where do they find the time?
According to William F. Jessee, MD, of the Medical Group Management Association, the proprietary social networking community would provide:
- Discussion groups - members can create ad hoc, event-based or issue-related groups;
- Blogs - members can create their own blogs for other members to read, respond to and rate;
- File repository/resource library - members can upload, download and search documents to share with their peers;
- Expanded subscription options - members can participate online, via e-mail or both; and
- Enhanced member directory and member profiles - members can search for one another by name, location, certification level, membership participation, organization type, practice type, practice setting, specialty, physician count, interest areas and education.
