I\u2019ve met 787 doctors by now personally. That\u2019s 1-on-1, not in a group.<\/p>\n
A good number of them want to use an EMR for their medical practice but they want to wait for the right time, at least that’s what they told me. A majority of them have always wanted to use an EMR for years but never got started due to various reasons and fears.<\/p>\n
Being the guy that\u2019s offering the EMR app and platform to them, I have to understand the different “why\u2019s” to better build and offer our products.<\/p>\n
I have to ask the right questions to better understand how a prospective doctor\/client thinks so we can address their fears, concerns and issues.<\/p>\n
Over the years of doing this, we know we have a clear understanding of the overall picture.<\/p>\n
Every single one of those concerns, we\u2019ve already answered with how the\u00a0 <\/span>SeriousMD software is built.<\/p>\n One thing that we cannot address within the software and our processes is \u201cthe wait for the right time<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n I\u2019ve personally sold to different people all over the world and \u201cthe wait for the right time\u201d issue comes up the most in the Philippines for some reason. 😅<\/p>\n We help you see the value, the exponential ROI, we also excite a lot of our potential users (who then became users just by being excited) simply by showing the features and possibilities for their practice.<\/p>\n For a good chunk of doctors that I\u2019ve personally talked to, they already know the value, the ROI and are genuinely excited – but they still have a \u201cwait for the right time\u201d approach.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re in the \u201cwait for the right time\u201d boat, don\u2019t get me wrong, I totally understand it with your busy schedule (you have to juggle your business, family, learnings, department meetings and all that) but there\u2019s a reason why I wanted to publish this post.<\/p>\n I regularly blog about personal motivation, productivity and entrepreneurship on other blogs. I love trying to push people and inspiring them to commit and take the first step into whatever endeavor because that\u2019s the only way you\u2019ll get started with anything in life.<\/p>\n The same thing applies when using software as you\u2019re integrating something new to what you already do.<\/strong><\/p>\n Just apply 1 thing at a time.<\/p>\n Wanting to get started is different from actually getting started<\/a>. The right time won\u2019t come.<\/p>\n You are the one that determines that it\u2019s the right time.<\/strong><\/p>\n I could name a LOT of doctors using SeriousMD right now that started with 1 step at a time and did not try to overcomplicate things.<\/p>\n They just tried it and after some practice, it became natural and super easy. The barriers that seemed insurmountable started to look realistic. You\u2019ll start to see how it can be integrated to your existing workflow.<\/p>\n I\u2019m not saying that there\u2019s no learning curve.<\/p>\n Everything new has a learning curve, the actual issue is \u201chow big\u201d that learning curve is.<\/strong><\/p>\n Though that learning curve will depend on what software you\u2019re using (that\u2019s our job to design the software with workflow in mind), the practice or time you put in is what\u2019s actually critical.<\/p>\n There\u2019s really no point for making something user-friendly, if it\u2019s not being used, right?<\/p>\n As with any new thing, you\u2019ll start to be more confident as you use or do it more.<\/p>\n In terms software like SeriousMD, as you start using it regularly, you\u2019ll start to see more things that you can optimize for your workflow, find new useful features and soon you\u2019ll notice that you are spending less time on the app and more time with your patients<\/a>. Your patients will definitely let you know that they appreciate it.<\/p>\n At the end of the day\u2026<\/p>\n “Nothing motivates you better than seeing progress.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n I literally have no idea who said that but if I translate that, it basically means \u201cdon’t wait for inspiration, just start doing.\u201d<\/p>\n See you inside SeriousMD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019ve met 787 doctors by now personally.
