Course Title: Website Design and Internet Marketing: Building Your Practice in a Digital World
Presenter: Dr. Joshua Gindea
Course Time: 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM EST
Course Description:
While health professionals are among the most highly educated, talented and intelligent groups, most will admit to be totally uninformed about best business practices and how to grow their practices. The business of medicine, dentistry, podiatry, optometry and other health fields is never discussed in professional schools and must be self-taught or learned through sometimes very uncomfortable experiences. Among the most under-utilized tools by the health professional is the use of website and internet marketing techniques. These tools can be used by every doctor to greatly expand their communication with patients, increase their internet presence, build their online reputation and vastly expand the scope of their practices.
- Among the topics that covered in the lectures are:
- Website Design Dos and Dont’s
- Search Engine Optimization
- How to list your practice/business across the internet
- Social Media Management
- Maps Listings
- Search Engine Submission
- Generating Reviews and Monitoring Your Online Reputation
- Pay-Per-Click Advertising
Presenter Biography:
An honors graduate from the Combined Degree BA-DDS program at New York University, Dr. Josh Gindea has been in dental private practice in New York City for more than 3 decades. With three practices, Dr. Gindea and his partners have been able to combine their professional skills with their business acumen to create a very successful business model. In addition to his dental practices, Dr. Gindea has been involved in three health industry businesses over the past three decades. In the 1990’s Josh and his partners founded Westchester Dental Products, a dental supply company that was able to provide its clientele with outstanding pricing and service. The company was eventually bought by Henry Schein, the largest dental supply company in the country. With the advent of digital record keeping and radiography throughout the medical and dental environment, Dr. Gindea and his partners created Professional Offsite Data Backup, Inc., a company that provided offsite data backup services for health professionals. This provided its clientele the ability to store their vital office data in a secure offsite cloud environment at pricing far below its competitors. PODBI was purchased by a large cloud based data storage company in Texas. For the past five years, Dr. Josh Gindea and his partners have operated DoctorsInternet.com. This state of the art, innovative company provides website design, internet marketing and reputation management services for health professionals. Due to its expertise in the field, its ability to drive new patients to its clientele and its very reasonable pricing, DoctorsInternet.com has established itself as among the leaders in design and marketing services for all health professionals.
Course Title: HIPAA Developments and Requirements
Presenter: Andrew P. Nitkewicz, Esq.
Course Time: 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM EST
Course Description:
In addition to serving the needs of their patients, healthcare providers and their business associates are required to comply with a navigate through the complex web of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and state privacy laws which govern patient medical information. HIPAA is a complicated regulatory scheme with many requirements that must be met not only by the practitioner, but also by staff and business associates of the practitioner. HIPAA compliance requires regular training and the establishment of strict internal rules and regulations concerning patient information. Non-compliant covered entities may be subject to audits, massive fines and, in some cases, personal liability – even for inadvertent non-compliance. Andrew P. Nitkewicz will provide practical information on state privacy laws and up-to-date HIPAA developments and requirements.
