Maintaining a Positive Online Reputation With Good Reviews
This is a guest post by Jim Kelly
In the modern world, your reputation is at the fingertips of all of your current customers or potential new customers. All that they need to do is a quick Google search of your name and they will see all of the information, both good and bad that has been written by you, for you and most importantly, about you. All of these online reviews and other bits of information should be considered your online reputation and how you manage and protect it can have serious repercussions to your long term successes.
The Positive
Everyone, from the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker has an online footprint. Even professionals are branded, which might seem strange to many people. For instance, students in med schools across the country are learning more than just how to diagnose and treat illnesses. Along with their anatomy and other medical lessons, they are learning how physicians can manage online reviews and other issues with branding their name that may arise. Review sites, including those specifically geared toward professionals are a reality. And while a doctor cannot hope to please all of his patients all of the time, nor should he want to, he absolutely cannot ignore the fact that the reviews are out there.

Doctor Shortage Spreading in U.S.
Don't miss this Bloomberg story titled, "Doctor Shortage Spreading in U.S. Presaged in Las Vegas." The entire health care system is undergoing change and we're seeing different trends in various pockets around the country. I often wonder what the medical system will look like in 10 or 20 years.
Take a look at the "Doctors per 100,000 people" census to see how your state compares. The greatest shortages are in Nevada, Wyoming, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Idaho. Perhaps those are the states with the greatest opportunities for locum tenens or telemedicine to improve patient access to care.
