(2009-04-15) Parkinson Md Projectmgr

Jay Parkinson on the Physician as Project Manager. Doctors have about 2000 patient projects. And we get, on average, one hour with each patient per year to serve as their project leader, delegating the other 8,765 hours to our patient who manages their health on their own, disconnected from us and unable to receive personalized information or ask questions except during the occasional, all-too-short office visit. Both BaseCamp and Action Method were designed to share information and facilitate goal-oriented, efficient, online communication between teammates who aren't working in the same geographic area. Awesome! Wouldn't that be nice to have with our patients?
