Greenbranch Publishing, publishers of The Journal of Medical Practice Management developed SoundPractice.net, "Sound Ideas for Your Medical Practice from The Journal of Medical Practice Management." It is the first podcast and blog service of its kind to focus on the medical practice community.

"The Journal of Medical Practice Management has a 20-year track record of providing the information that physician and administrators need to help their practices thrive. With the addition of www.soundpractice.net we are pleased to provide practice management content as podcasts and RSS feeds. Greenbranch Publishing has the opportunity to lead the change of how the medical practice management community gets their information, and we feel very strongly that we have an obligation to educate our community about these technologies."

According to a Yahoo News report,
"When asked about SoundPractice from his role as interviewer and as a physician, Kent Bottles replied 'The daily act of blogging and interviewing thought leaders for podcasts has really transformed the way I try to keep up to date with subjects and ideas we all need to better manage our practices and care for our patients. I was pleasantly surprised when a blog about physician salaries attracted eight comments from readers, including one from Uwe Reinhardt, the Princeton economist."
