COVID-19 Vaccination Survey
Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine (ICOM) seeks physician/PA input on COVID-19 vaccination.
In anticipation of a COVID-19 vaccine becoming available in the near future and the potential either recommendation or requirement for healthcare providers to receive the vaccine, we would like to determine how healthcare providers feel about the vaccine. If you are able to spare 5-7 minutes of your time, your assistance in our efforts would be appreciated.

The aggregate data will be shared with you to better understand how we can support healthcare providers in the WWAMI region. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance, it is greatly appreciated.

Will there be a Doctor in the House?

Tuesday, October 13, Noon - 1pm
Will there be a Doctor in the House? Physician Supply, Demand and Staffing in the Era of COVID-19

The Covid-19 pandemic has profoundly altered the healthcare industry and virtually every other aspect of the economy and of life in the US. And yet, many of the underlying dynamics fundamental to healthcare remain. One of these is the time-honored fact that healthcare is provided by people, for people. The emergence of Covid-19 has not altered this fact, it has only made it more apparent. In this presentation, executives with the nation’s leading physician search and consulting firm review the emerging methods that hospitals, medical groups and other healthcare facilities are using to retain and recruit medical staff during the Covid-19 pandemic. The program includes original data from a physician survey conducted by Merritt Hawkins in collaboration with The Physicians Foundation that tracks how physicians are being affected by and are responding to Covid.

Registration information coming soon!

Signs Your “Compliant” Email Service Isn’t Actually Compliant (Or That It’s Time to Upgrade)

Cloud-based, secure email has many benefits, especially in high-security, high-compliance and high-functionality. However, to say “not all HIPAA-compliant email services are created equally” is a bit of an understatement.  

Consider that security, compliance and functionality are the primary building blocks of your practice’s email. They must all connect in a way that makes your workflow faster and simpler. Here’s the problem. Many services show you something that looks great on the surface, but lack the infrastructure to truly improve your business. A key example is that many cloud-services claim to be HIPAA-compliant, but an unsettling number of services may only loosely meet federal law.  

See if any of the following resonates with you.  
Thank you Friends of WMS!
