Innovation has always been the driving force behind my practice. I am honored to announce that on May 20, 2010 we have been invited to talk at the Apple Store in Sherman Oaks about utilizing Apple technology in the practice setting.
When I first started my practice, it was critical that we start with a paperless system. From ground up, we developed the backbone for what was to become the most advanced practice in the country. The only was to do this, was of course, to use the most advanced platform on the market… Mac OS X. Apple Computer has always been known for it’s advanced industrial design and remarkable attention to detail. We can thank Jonathan Ive for his brilliant creations that withstand the test of time. These computers however are not just pretty slabs of aluminum. When you turn on any Mac computer you are greeted with the most stable and well designed operating systems available on this planet. This is because of the unwavering attention to perfection that Steve Jobs brings to this already superb company.
Mac OS X provides our practice with a reliable, easy to use operating system that eliminated the need to depend on “the I.T. guy” or to keep buying Symantec anti-this and McAfee anti-that! Amazingly, the very first computer we bought for our first practice (a 17″ iMac G4) is still operational and working! We have never turned our servers off, and never installed anti-viral software, or made a call for technical support.
I was so impressed with the Mac OS, that I took a Mac OS X server certification course to implement OS X Server in the office and now we have the power of a server client system. Apple has made it possible for the little guy to be empowered and expand their business where ever their imagination takes them. Today we have iPads for patient registration, digital xray that is accessible remotely from my iPhone, MacPractice practice management and EMR which takes the pain away from billing and documentation, and a whole slew of really cool programs that just make practicing medicine what is was supposed to be, fun!
Every doctor you talk to complains of the same thing… charts! The Mac makes this chore easy. The simplicity that the Apple platform offers a medical platform combined with the powerful applications available today make any practice that decides to switch to Mac OS instantly jump light years ahead of the competition.
I am honored to talk at the Apple Store about how we have reinvented the digital practice. Please join me on May 20th and allow me to share my resources and experience with you to further your practice and take medicine into the 21st century.
