Small practices might have the most to gain since they are the most sensitive to the time argument. The trick is having some help. <br><br>Below is an off the cuff thought, what do you think?<br><br>You engage, for instance, the person working the check out desk who is not busy 100% of the time - have them stick a $100 flip camera in a docs face as they are walking in the door from lunch and say "quick, what are your top three tips for patients with XYZ?"<br><br>Takes 30 seconds to record, a minute to post and boom its done. Follow up questions from patients are just as easy. You stop the doc b/t patients and say "you know that video? Someone wants to know about ABC". You get a 140 character reply and then suggest if they want to know more that they schedule an appointment. Thanks for the feedback and great question!

That's where you'd get the biggest "no time" push-back from all players. Patients would LOVE it, tho.<br><br>Great post - plenty of grist for my mill!
