Welcome to my blog. This first blog will serve as an introduction to VideoMD.com. However, I plan to discuss many issues in healthcare on this blog in the future.
VideoMD.com is a new website that focuses on physician generated video health information. One of the main goals of VideoMD is to help physicians fully educate their own patients. Since patients are getting quite a bit of health information from the internet, we want to help doctors be more involved in their own patients health searches. The technology of VideoMD is fairly simple, doctors upload videos to the website. Then their patients search for them by name, and see their videos on an individual page of VideoMD. Basically a "YouTube" for doctors for patient education.
The idea for physicians is to fully educate their patients without adding the extra time it would take to educate each patient individually. Doctors days are so busy, not only seeing the patients, but also filling out all of the paperwork, and dealing with hospitals and insurance companies. All of the added work has taken away from the time that we can spend with each patient. This is way to increase the "face to face time" for doctors and patients, but now in 2008 it can be done virtually on VideoMD.com.
We then take the "best of" videos and use these for the featured videos page of VideoMD. All of the videos in the featured videos section is reviewed for medical content. One of our other goals is to build the most comprehensive library of video health information on the web. Our featured videos are easily searched by category, disease/condition, and by keyword.
We see VideoMD.com as a way to improve the global physician-patient relationship, by having your own doctors as well as some of the pre-eminent leaders in their field of medicine deliver up to date, trustworthy health information.
