My dreams
I am so excited that I finally got accepted to the Indiana University School of Medicine and Midwestern University in the middle of December 2010. Since then, I have been doing some independent studying either from things I've seen at work in the ER or from stuff that interests me. My future dreams include having my own practice. I have done some research and seen how I can integrate technology and concierge medicine into a wonderful primary care practice. I want to charge my patients a flat fee for the year based on their age and health risks and family medical history. Then, I will stay connected to them via the internet and keep track of their health, fill their prescriptions, give them online counselling, or allow them to quickly schedule their appointments online. I will cut back on costs of paper, receptionists, etc. and people will not have to worry about having insurance and I will be receiving money upfront. This could possible be sustainable... I will need some more fellow doctors and a few PAs and NPs. I am so excited!!

Excellent Idea, technology is a good way to reduce medical costs. Right now there is computers, but also paper trails following those computer records. Once we get to more all digital systems we will have better record keeping and less clerical errors I think. Think about a doctor being able to do his rounds with something like an iPad and have access to all the charts as he enters to room and inputs any data right there. Taking it even one step further you could have an RFID system that would automatically bring up a chart on the tablet without the doctor having to do anything. Technology is our friend!
