The health care frontier in the United States over the last fifty years has been illustrated by soaring fees for services, increasing expenses accrued by doctors and a predisposition toward excluding participants with preexisting medical conditions. In short, the health of our greatest national asset became a matter of Russian roulette due to a simple matter of cash.

Defined with a broad stroke, telemedicine is the delivery of healthcare service or transmission of health and wellness information using telecommunication technology.

MD247 was established to eliminate our collective epidemic of a demographic group age 24 – 64 either outright lacking health care coverage, or possessing a minimal amount of health care coverage which quickly builds out of pocket expenses. The mechanism for delivery of a large scale affordable supplemental health care option could only be viable utilizing the technologies associated with telemedicine, and therein a company capable of serving the minor and major medical needs of 50,000 families was born.

MD247 works on foundation of strict in-house client servicing, refusing to allow its family of regular clients to be forced into tense calls with outsourced workers. This attention to providing a “real” face to the 15,000 families joining MD247 each week, also allows for a fascinating and airtight set of on-site personal data protection practices.

None of these ideas would be possible without the strong hand of MD247 Founder Thomas Meehan “at the rudder” of this health care ship. Meehan’s twenty-five years in private business have provided him the unique opportunity to design a business model that protects customers. Firsthand customer interaction also opened his mind to the true necessity for supplemental telemedical health care.

Concierge Telemedicine? Concierge Telehealth? Telemedicine? Telehealth? The management team responsible for the innovative MD247 supplementary telemedicine healthcare program has heard ever skeptical uttering of keywords associated with the telemedicine industry. In an effort to both battle the skeptics, and work in conjunction with fellow industry professionals, MD247 Founder Thomas Meehan issued an announcement to invite Tampa doctors to explore the possibility of blog exchanges commencing in July 2012.

The idea behind the blog exchange is to take a Tampa doctor/Tampa nurse who currently maintains a blog, or actively participates as a writer for a blog as a guest writer, and introduce that writer to the loyal readers on the MD247 website and social media accounts. The MD247 team of writers would then be responsible for providing the guest author an article drafted from the MD247 telemedicine perspective for his or her own website, blog or social media account.

Meehan invites all interested writers to contact MD247 telemedicine at mgermann@md247.com, with the subject line “Blog exchange,” to indicate their interest in learning more about the innovative approach to sharing industry information.

On Monday June 18th, the MD247 Social Media Team announced that it would officially be carrying all telemedicine blog articles typically run on the website http://md247.com/md247-blog.html. All MD247 blogs had previously been featured on the sites SocialNetgate, Blog.com, Blogger, LiveJournal, Posterous, Tumblr and TypePad.

A blog is a discussion, or information site published on the internet consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological order so the most recent post appears first. Until 2009 blogs were usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group, and often were themed on a single subject. Many blogs provide commentary on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries; yet still others function more as online brand advertising of a particular individual or company. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual.

The MD247 telemedicine blog discuses all things related to telemedicine, as well as general health and wellness issues.

Telemedicine connects doctor and patient at any time, on any day of the week, across the miles and from home or work and any other location. The doctor’s office is really all of time and space.
