A few weeks ago, I covered the first round of results from the survey produced by Physicians' Alliance that examined the impact of EHRs on time and productivity in the primary care market. The results were interesting, to say the least, and support t...
Every now and then, we get a pleasant surprise. I'd like to introduce ViewPoint, the new digital-only magazine from our friends at The Verden Group. When Susanne sent me a note saying, "Check this out..." I spent the next 45 minutes reading it from c...
A few weeks ago, we encouraged you to complete a survey hosted by Physicians' Alliance. The goal was to look into the great EHR skeleton-in-the-closet issue: how much extra time has your EHR taken from your day? I have a survey over there on the righ...

I had a great time speaking to Drs. Bravo and Rogu on their growing podcast, The Pediatric Lounge, to discuss the state of independent pediatricians and the use of data in a pediatric practice. They are cranking out episodes (which is a good thing) and anyone who supports independent pediatricians should tune in to their effort.

They turned our conversation into back-to-back episodes (32 and 33), "Independent Pediatric Practice 2022" and "Data Data Data and Managing a Pediatric Office." If you prefer video, you catch up on their YouTube channel.
