22 | Streamlining Your Practice Part 2: Tech Forward Family Practice with Dr. Kelly MacGregor
Description
In part 2 of a 3-part series on streamlining family practice, we learn more about the unique 'tech forward' approach that Dr. Kelly MacGregor and her colleagues have adopted at their clinic. While the overall approach may not suit every practice, there may be elements that family docs could consider testing in their own practices.
Listen as Dr. MacGregor describes how her clinic has addressed privacy concerns related to use of technology. She also talks candidly about the products they use and the financial investment (spoiler alert: it's minimal!), and provides her advice for clinics interested in starting to incorporate more technology.
