DocSide: Deep Dive Podcast

DocSide: Deep Dive Podcast

Author: Dr. Jeff Cole and Dr. Jeff Brown October 7, 2024 Duration: 51:22

Here’s the thing about patient care – the caring never stops. Patients and their healthcare providers have questions, and answers just can’t wait. To find these answers, healthcare professionals “run cases by each other”. These casual “curbside” consultations are vital to improve access to specialty expertise.

Join Drs Jeff Brown and Jeff Cole in the “Deep Dive” version of the Merge Medical podcast as they interview Dr. Richard Popwell, CEO and Founder of DocSide.

There was a time when a much higher density of physicians would cross paths in the physician’s lounge, surgery lounge or cafeteria of the typical hospital. Curbside consults have always been part of the culture of medicine, but times have changed. A large percentage of physicians and healthcare providers are now working in outpatient clinics and/or outpatient surgery centers. Sub-specialists simply don’t cross paths the way they they did 20 or 30 years ago.

Curbsides aren’t always so easy. . . From finding the right expert, playing phone tag, interrupting each other’s work and family life. . . What’s meant to save time and effort does anything but…

So, what if there was a way to simplify collaboration between healthcare professionals and facilitate safe, high quality, and equitable care for any patient, anywhere, anytime?

Welcome to the DocSide! DocSide is an intuitive mobile and web-based solution that creates more equitable access, reduces costs, and optimizes care by empowering healthcare professionals with seamless curbside collaboration, shared documentation, and revenue generation. DocSide is more than just another healthcare app. It’s a place . . .
