Great Website

The above is a link to a website that is incredibly useful for learning about health communication. The particular page I selected discusses several types of technology used in communication, the benefits, and the challenges they each possess. Something I had not previously considered is the impact on reimbursement when using technology. If a patient contacts a physician by email, and the result is a prescription being called in rather than an appointment, how does the physician get reimbursed? Then again, email may only be a more efficient method of communication than the traditional phone tag we play with doctor's offices.
