20A – Growing Your Social Capital
1) Expert in your industry.
This week I meet a new psychiatrist who is both certify to treat adults and children. I meet Dr. C this week because she joined our clinic from another community mental health facility. I am currently working with her by teaching her the software used at our facility and how the clinics system is set up to see patients. The return expectation is the possibility of learning how other facilities work with my target segment. Dr. C is a great addition to my network because in the future she could potentially see patients in my virtual clinic.
2) expert on your market.
This week I spoke to the director of substance abuse program, which is offer at our inpatient facility. The reason I spoke to him is because he has implemented a system which clients are seen through video conference calls during the weekend and this was offer to one of the medical providers I worked with. The favor he did for me is giving me information on how to properly procced with this type of services and that he told me which insurance companies do pay for such services. He plans to expand such services to our outpatient clinic, so I most likely will help him set up. Including this person will help me find out what kind of services might get approved by insurance companies in the future.
3) One person must be an important supplier to your industry.
As new patients are always coming to get services to our clinic, I meet a group home worker who brought a client to his first appointment. As he did not do anything specific for me, while processing the patient before he met with the medical provider support my believe that the need is there. Having people who work closely with my target segment will increase the number of potential clients.
Reflection. This experience has greatly help me understand the need for such services and how technology is already entering the healthcare business.

Hey Herzen! You connected with a lot of great resources for your business concept! You gained a lot of valuable information and a better understanding of how to implement your idea. I like how you even interviewed someone who currently does video conference calls. Helping him potentially set up the outpatient clinic will be very beneficial to you in the long run! Great job!
ReplyDeleteHey Herzen,
ReplyDeleteIt appears like you made great use of this assignment. The people you spoke to seem like they will actually be useful for you to connect with. They all seem like that can provide you with valuable advice for this project, as well as advice that you can use beyond just this assignment. Good use of your resources!
Hey Herzen!
ReplyDeleteConnecting with Dr. C and the Director of Substance Abuse program was an excellent choice! I also really liked the fact that the Director was able to offer important pertinent information up front which would help you start your idea. I will suggest adding more doctors or medical firms to your network so that you can start implementing your idea. For example, try your idea with a local clinic and see how it all works out. Once you have a solid process, you can then expand to other clinics.
Best regards,
