Learn How to Use Telemedicine in Your Clinical Practice

by

OSUWexnerbloglogo2014 Learn How to Use Telemedicine in Your Clinical Practice. Telemedicine is not new, in fact, we first did a program on telemedicine 20 years ago on OMEN-TV, the predecessor of MedNet. But with the COVID pandemic of the past year, telemedicine has been adopted by most physicians as a regular and normal part of their practice. However, with that comes the question of how can we most optimally use telemedicine? Today on MedNet, we’re going to update you on how you can most effectively apply telemedicine to your own clinical practice. Joining me today are two MedNet veterans from the Ohio State University. Dr. Shengyi Mao is an Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. And Dr. Nathan Richards is also an Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics.

How to Add An Affiliation for Enduring Materials

by

OSUWexnerbloglogo2014This tutorial teaches how to add an affiliation for Enduring Materials.  When you add an affiliation, you’re simply adding the hospital that you’re connected with inside the Hospital Affiliation section of your account on our website.  This is because your hospital has paid to give you “free” access to our enduring materials post-test.  However, you can only get access if you add the affiliation to your account.  Instead of paying $25, you won’t be asked to make a payment.

Note: First, create an account on our OSU CCME website before starting the tutorial.

Let’s get started with the tutorial.

Click on the orange”My Account” tab at the top right of your screen

 

Click on the Hospital Affiliations button.

 

At the Drop-down Menu select your hospital name or the name you’re using for your affiliation.

 

Once you choose your Hospital Affiliation, Waiting will appear in the Status column.  The Waiting status will appear until your affiliation is approved by the Administrator. If you attempt to take a post-test in the Waiting status, you’ll see a web page dialog to make a payment.  Please wait until you are approved.

When your account gets approved, Approved will appear in the Status column.

You will also receive an e-mail, similar to the e-mail above, once your account is approved.
