by:+Raven Kathleen
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Private insurance companies across the U.S. pay doctors dramatically different amounts for the same routine office visits and services, according to a new study.

Med board punishes doc for treating patients via Skype
Sept,27,2013
By:+Ashley Gold
While tele-medicine may hold a lot of promise for improving patient care, one doctor in Eastern Oklahoma was disciplined for treating his patients over video conferencing platform Skype for mental health issues, NewsOK reported.
Thomas Trow, M.D., used Skype, claiming he thought it to be suitable for communicating with his rural patients, and prescribing patients Xanax and other powerful narcotics. However, the Medical Board of Oklahoma doesn't approve of Skype as a tele-medicine communication system, according to NewsOK. One patient was treated for three drug overdoses in less than six months, and later died, while two others also died while under Trow's care, although investigators said it wasn't attributable to the doctor.

7 Content Marketing Poop Scoops
Sept,25,2013
by:+Barry Feldman
On one hand, it’s a good question in that the marketer asking it knows dull content is deadly. But it’s a bad question too. Why? Because it’s the wrong question. The right question is: how do I excite my readers? Note the absence of “tax preparation” or “kitty litter” or “conference calling services” or any mundane product category. Your readers care about something far more important: themselves.

Why Becoming a Group without Walls Might Improve Practice Income
Sept,22,2013
By:+Greg Mertz
Big might be good in the current and future medical marketplace and a model that brings together multiple smaller practices might also be the answer. This model is often called a network practice or group without walls (GWW) but it basically is a number of small practices, typically in the same specialty, that trade under a common tax identification number but which allows significant autonomy to each location. This might sound complex but it really isn’t, but let’s first look at why it makes sense.

What’s helping (and hindering) state Health Information Exchanges?
Sept,21,2013
by+ Stephanie Baum
There is no such thing as a cookie cutter approach to healthcare information exchanges. That is a point HIMSS Senior Director of Informatics Pam Matthews can’t emphasize enough. Sure, there may be some common models — network of networks, hub and spoke, peer-to-peer — and each exchange wants to meet Meaningful Use requirements outlined in the HITECH Act. But the exchanges that are progressing well are the ones that go beyond MU and consider the needs of their state or region’s constituency.
