on Partners in Practice
Millions of people worldwide have Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter accounts. What do you need to know about today's Internet-savvy e-Patient, who uses online tools to share information with their medical providers, search for medical information, and manage and cope with their medical conditions? Nurse practitioner Barbara Phillips, founder and CEO of NP Choice, LLC, joins host Mimi Secor to discuss how to effectively connect with your patients, and how to set up online policies and online identities.

She is the founder and CEO of NP Choice, LLC.
