I noticed that moviedoc has a recent post on his blog that mirrors some of my own thoughts on how telepsychiatry might change the economics of renting office space for psychiatrists.
Moviedoc is thinking about two of the same things that I am:
- Could I do more telepsychiatry at home and think about making part time arrangements for office space rather than full time ones?
- If I only have part time office space, how do I handle emergencies where I really feel I should see the patient, not just talk or video Skype him or her?
He does ask one question though, that I think that I know the answer to. He wants to know a good way to manage scheduling office space online. I would suggest webcalendar on some hosting provider. The security is easy to set up, and although it isn’t customized for mobile phones, it really makes it easy to coordinate scheduling among people who have to do this already, as long as you make a couple of ground rules for how to use it.
