This is an interesting argument. It is actually the GP who benefits
financially ( and in quality of practice ) by having downloads. It
doesn't really benefit the information provider at all.
Medical specialists who use Argus to deliver their letters are
benefiting by:
a) saving the costs of post or fax;
b) making their referring doctors and potential referring doctors
happier = more referrals more likely;
c) I am now sending referrals via Argus to some specialists. If the
patient is new to them, I understand that their clinical software
automatically uses the information in my referral to create an
electronic record automatically for that patient.
These look like benefits to me. Do you disagree?
