Spring has finally sprung! If you are looking to add even more green into your life, have you thought about going green at your medical practice? If the answer is yes, My Retired Doctor can help you create the digital database that you are looking for.

How can going green benefit your medical practice?

Yes, going green costs money. It might not cost as much as you think using a reputable, yet affordably company like My Retired Doctor, but there will be upfront costs. The benefits of going green can far outweigh the cost, and go well beyond being environmentally friendly.

Think of this scenario…you need to update a patient’s record, but you suddenly can’t find it. What do you do? Your staff probably spends a lot of time combing through storage cabinets and the office until it’s finally unearthed—slipped into someone else’s file—and now you’ve just wasted time and lost productivity. With a digital database, all your files will be right at your fingertips. This is especially useful if you will be retiring soon and need to be able to easily access patient records for them.

Imagine no longer needing to purchase files, filing cabinets, document storage, reams of paper and ink week after week. You certainly won’t cut out these costs all together, but you will decrease them significantly by going digital.

But I’m retiring, why should I invest money in going green when I’m closing my practice soon?

One word, marketability. Are you planning on closing up your medical practice and leaving your clients to find a new physician, or do you think you’ll find someone to buy your practice? The latter can put you in a nice position financially as you head into retirement. Additionally, it also preserves the practice that you spent your entire life building up. Well, think about who will be interested in buying a practice. It’s probably a younger, less established doctor, isn’t it? What did that doctor grow up using? They probably grew up with smartphones, laptops and tablets and that’s how they want to work. By investing some money now into going green, you can make your practice much more marketable.
