These are costly, but look slick.

I'm thinking about using a restaurant pager system, where each medical assistant has a beeper, and the front keys up their beeper from a small control box. I have no idea how much it would cost, but I bet a lot less than the cool lights. Glad to see you have money to waste on this! The "Home depot doorbell" idea is cheap and efficient - in fact we use them to summon a medical assistant to the examining room. Also, if the phone intercom does not work when in use - a cheap system from Radio Shack will do just as well to summon the assistant to the front desk.

You can put the money you save into the Totally Outrageous Malpractice Premium Fund! (That's where all our practice money goes!)

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
