Primary Care, Internal Medicine, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners and all other physician specialties are minimally exposed to the continual influx of new research data, recent studies and emerging disease states and lack expert mentoring to be able to improve competency, practice performance and patient outcomes.

Bad Judgment: Doctors Put THIS on Their Practice Websites?
|
By Leigh Page, Medscape NewsA medical practice's website is supposed to attract patients, but items are sometimes posted there that drive patients away. This can happen when physicians try to break through the professional barrier and show their personal sides. They may bring up hobbies or politics, talk about popular culture, or post photos of themselves having fun. Read the full article >>

Mental Health Providers Look For Federal Incentives To Go Digital, Too
| | By Lisa Gillespie, Kaiser Health News
John Duggan, a mental health counselor in Silver Spring, Md., pays for an electronic health record system to keep track of his patients. He started using the cloud-based system five years ago to eliminate paper and make his practice more efficient.
But unlike some other health professionals, Duggan has not received any financial support from the federal government to move his practice to digital records.
For now, he doesn't qualify for any of the $26 billion available from the federal government's Medicare and Medicaid Electronic Health Record Program, which was part of the 2009 stimulus package. That program has offered thousands of doctors and hospitals financial incentives to adopt electronic record systems that meet certain requirements, known as "meaningful use," with the goal of reducing medical errors and boosting coordination.
