Robert: My staff is pushing for this, and I actually have priced a restaurant pager system, also, at around $1700 (http://www.jtech.com). My guess is that we'll deny a few meals and clothes for our children in order to appease the staff :). I was hoping to avoid a doorbell or "allpage," as I personally think that the latter is a bit obnoxious. The doorbell problem is that it wouldn't help us know WHICH doctor has a chart ready, etc. Garry > >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.

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.
