Weekly Rounds: ROI vs VOI, managing online reviews, and combating the opioid crisis March 8, 2018
This week we compared ROI vs VOI for measuring onsite workplace clinic effectiveness, witnessed the power of online reviews for DPC practices, experienced how independent physicians are leading the efforts to combat opioid abuse, saw how national healthcare policy has evolved, and learned how independent physicians are managing their business under the value-based care model.
At Elation Health, we’re committed to strengthening the physician-patient relationship and providing intuitive tools for clinical first care. Part of this commitment includes keeping physicians and staff informed about the latest healthcare news, technology trends, and policy updates that impact their practices and patients.
