How does your practice make sure everyone is aware of all the important information they need? If you're like most practices, you're sending e-mails all the time, distributing handouts to everyone, and the bulletin board in your lunch area is several layers deep.

Incorporating a Practice Intranet section in your Highland Group CMS website allows you to publish a wide variety of information that's available to everyone in your staff, all the time. You can even have separate sections for physicians, clinincal staff, office staff, etc. that only they can view. And your Practice Intranet is password-protected – no one outside of your practice will ever have access.

There are many typical uses for your Intranet pages (and many more you'll think of as time passes). Some of the more common are:

• Internal forms and checklists
• Staff rosters and phone lists
• Staff meeting minutes
• Supplier directories
• Office calendars for holidays, birthdays, events, etc.
• News items relevant to the practice and staff
• Internet resources - links to useful websites

Your Intranet can be arranged any way you'd like, and you can let select staff members have access to contribute as well. Once your office starts using this feature, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it.
