Tips for tech-loving entrepreneurial physicians

A week away at a dude ranch and then a week playing catch-up have wreaked havoc on my blogging schedule. So this is my end-of-week effort to get something useful in front of you, along with a commitment to do better next week!

I have decided that I could easily become addicted to techie toys and tools. To play with, mind you, not to build or create!

This fun page from PC World suggests all kinds of useful apps for your smart phone, be it an Android phone, Blackberry or iPhone. The ones I have found most useful are:

• Evernote (my favorite app of all)
• Jott Assistant (probably my second favorite app)
• Dropbox for managing files and data across several computers, and now your phone as well
• Google Voice
• Mint for managing personal finance and budgets
• WeatherBug
• NPR News
• Hootsuite for all your social media updates
• Google Maps (mine becomes an amazingly accurate talking GPS in my Android phone)
• Pandora (keep my kid occupied and quiet in the car!)
• Shazam - what an ingenious idea!

Looking forward to playing with Bump and Doodle Jump!

Hi Philippa,

I am enjoying your website posts. These tech tips for MDs are great and not just for MDs I have to add. They are great tools and Pandora is not just for kids. hehe!

Your readers might be interested in my website that supports medical practice managers with managing their office chaos http://practicemanagersolutions.com

You have useful information here that supports physicians and it is so needed today.

Warmly,

Rebecca

Thanks for the lovely comment Rebecca - good to see that you too are in the business of helping physicians succeed. And hopefully stay in medicine because they are happy and having a good time!
