  1. After reading this article i too agree that it is a great way for M.Ds to keep in touch and make their lives a little easier. With the increase in patients i can see how their usual hustle and bustle would be stretched to the max. It could also benefit patients because doctors will be able to contact each other and ask specific questions regarding prior or current diagnosis.

  2. I thought this article was really interesting. After reading it, I wanted to hear more about the ideas they have for further establishing this business in the current health care market. One of the things that I like about Doximity is that it will allow health care professionals to use this resource as a safe and reliable method of communication. I like that it incorporates HIPAA into its business as well. This is very important for communication between health professionals and any questions we may have regarding specific or unique diagnoses. I think that the incorporation of other professions would also be good. I could see this being a good communication resource for interprofessional care such as occupational therapy, speech therapy, nursing, social work, etc. As an OT student I am able to see the benefit of quick communication between disciplines, especially doctors, in regards to patient care, updates on patient status, updates on changes in medications or any additional precautions, and in developing future plans of care as well.
