Oi. Has it really been more than a month since I posted here? We’ve been amazingly busy.
The lease at the Lenox Shops fell through. Just could not come to terms with the developer there. Luckily, I found another space, just up the road. It’s at the corner of Route 7 and Holmes Road, next door to Berskhire Lighting.
Ross Kunzmann, the landlord there, is a very nice guy and very straighforward. I think, I hope, we will work out a long term lease that allows me to stay there for – well, twenty years or so. I really do not want to move once I’m settled in there.
We have a wonderful architect, Dana Bixby. The plans are nearly done and we put them out to bid on Monday (gulp).
I’m also in the final phases of choosing an electronic medical record vendor. I think it will be a completely paperless office. Will write more about this later, but here are just a couple of neat features:
- Much better tracking of patient information than paper charts.
- Greatly improved screening, preventive health, and risk calculation – which allows for individualized risk factor management in patients.
- For patients, secure and private online access to their medical information. I should be able to post lab results, x-rays – basically, anything – in a way that patients can access it at their convenience.
- Communication with patients via email and maybe even instant messaging.
I’m going to work a bit on this web site too. I like fooling around with web sites but I might hire a professional designer for this one.
I’m on call today, so I have to go. I promise to keep this site better updated though, for anyone who is following my progress here.
