Rockin' idea. I was just looking for something like this to do some quick-and-dirty market research for my startup. I don't have much experience with mturk, but my one concern would be that respondents may simply click randomly rather than

Yes, we do have the capacity to reprioritize patients based on symptoms. Patients who reserve a treatment time online are responsible for their own health until they arrive at the ED, but we do give the ED caregivers the capacity to communi

Bingo. Most patients fall into the general "low-acuity" category, which means that they are essentially seen in the order in which they arrive at the ER; this is the default case in our system. However, the ED caregivers do have the ability

Great idea! Right now we have a fairly small network of participating hospitals (3, to be exact), and engaging visitors who aren't in our current service area is a bit of a trick. I'll pass this one along to the designer for our next revisi

Because this is such an intensely localized service, expanding the network of participating ERs is pretty much the most important thing we need to do. We've made it a turnkey implementation for low- and mid-volume ERs, and there are some fa

Exactly. Originally, we experimented with offering this service to patients for free or for $2.99, but the hospitals were experiencing significant numbers of no-shows and bogus registrations; the $24.99 price point was actually requested by

The short answer: we can't. Sometimes, we miss the guaranteed appointment time. However, we do everything we can to ensure that our predictions are accurate, and we do everything we can to ensure that the patient experience is still as smoo

Right now, we're use a manual workflow; we provide patients' preregistration data to nurses and registration staff through a web interface. Direct EHR integration is my next priority. We're implementing at relatively low-volume locations (i

The key phrase here is "middle of the night". How many areas have drugstore clinics that are open at 2am?

by tkiley 17y ago
This is a very good question, and a very complicated one. In many markets, retail clinics and urgent care centers are open 60 hours per week at best; nights and weekends, treatment options are scarce. Additionally, many hospitals operate on

Thanks for reporting this, it's been fixed, and we did receive your hospital suggestion. :)

Granted, this hack relies on a bug in old borland library code which means it's not effective in all situations, but it's still pretty cool.

This article singles out Safari on the iPhone, saying that it supports "tabs". Ironically, iPhone Safari's "tabs" behave exactly like this broken back button behavior -- I've noticed that often when I switch back to an old tab on my iphone,

To me, it goes like this: If your environment, genes, family, and children are such that your children fall in the category of "students who must attend classes class for the benefit of the other students", you should homeschool, period. If

That's pretty amazing. I wonder what happens to revenue in the weeks following the sale; do sales dry up completely, or do they stay strong as players recruit their friends, perhaps?

Part of the 3000% jump was probably due to the fact that this particular sale made the front page of reddit and digg, but still, it's quite impressive.

The Youtube clip is from an interview with Branford Marsalis in the documentary film "Before The Music Dies". The whole thing is definitely worth seeing, if you have any interest in music or business. It's available for $3 as an indie downl

Not really. ;-) Our goal is to make lots of things very, very easy for new users, and make lots of other things readily available for well-informed users. Right now, we aren't aiming to make in-depth analytics very, very easy, because we do

Usability! ;-) In all seriousness, Viviti and typeroom share some of the same features, but it looks like typeroom is an editing tool, not a hosted solution, and that's not a market we're interested in. Synthasite is also a useful tool, bu

Heh, I've spent so much time working on that model that I didn't even realize that word was there. Thanks for pointing it out!

We sure do. It's not yet a part of the sign-up process, but once you've created an account, you can add custom domain names.

This discussion is probably dead, but just in case: Within the last year, I've been in the position of doing <$1k/month on a credit card processor, and it was actually a delightful experience. The company I originally worked with was bo

Thanks for pointing that out. We fixed the CSS issue, and we'll get it out to the production servers later today.

Funny that you would test the header image first. We've managed to do partial updates for most content on the pages, but right now we still do a full reload (window.location.reload(true), for you DOM junkies) for image replacements. We have

Thanks for the feedback. We'll keep working on the password strength checker :) We're trying to make it a little fun so people will voluntarily choose stronger passwords.
