Abstract

We all recognize that merely providing a diagnosis and then prescribing an appropriate treatment is not going to be enough to endear a doctor to his or her patients, nor will that basic format alone maintain the loyalty of existing patients. There are many opportunities to provide added convenience to your patients, which will make your practice more attractive to existing patients and more appealing to new ones. This article discusses the convenience revolution occurring today and how to implement it in your practice.
