| ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL? Get over it!
For 100 year, the telephone has been the mainstay of doctor/patient
communications in the United States. Even today, Alexander Graham Bell's
invention remains ubiquitous and essential.
But not ideal. In fact, as the decades have worn on, the limitations
of the telephone have become increasingly apparent. For doctors and
patients both, it is often a roadblock. Have you ever gotten a busy signal
calling a doctor's office? Have you ever been put on hold? Have they ever
said they'd have to call you back? |

| FCNintouch.com aims to end all that, and a lot of other
difficulties as well, but using a Secure Socket Layer Web system to let
doctors and their staff to communicate with patients 24 hours a day, seven
days a week.
Clearly, this service is not for everyone or all situations, because
not everyone has Internet access, and for real emergencies you definitely
still want to get the doctor on the phone, pronto. But for a raft of
non-emergency medical, appointment scheduling, referral, and billing
inquiries, FCNintouch.com is like a cool breeze in August.
On FCNintouch.com, I once again provided a wide range of
services, from corporate counseling to project design and management to
corporate logo and Web design. My partner, Marilyn Lewis, provided
editorial services for FCNInTouch.com.
FCNInTouch.com launched in the spring of 2002. The following is a sample page from the introductory issue of the
newsletter.

Welcome to InTouch
A new way to "talk" with your doctor without ever
being put "on hold"
WE AT Family Care Network
understand the inconvenience patients face when trying
to reach a doctor by phone. At the same time, we often
feel frustrated because bureaucratic paperwork prevents
us from spending as much time with our patients as we
want. Our solution to both these problems is InTouch, a
service that will allow our patients to bypass the
telephone, using the Internet – with security and
confidentiality – to send communications to doctors and
clinic staff at any time, night or day, weekend or
weekday.
