So it's been a while since I've added to medlogs.com. Here are a few standounts from the 20-or-so recent submissions that I added today. If your blog was submitted but it doesn't yet appear in Medlogs - chances are that you don't have a valid RSS feed (blogmd.net, msspnexus blog, etc) or that our editorial board (me) decided that the weblog has commerce as a primary goal rather than the sharing of information. Some blogs are on-the-edge of this (such as drjohnlapuma.com) and have been added to the "more"section.
- Christina's Considerations focuses on "workplace effectiveness, regional health information exchanges and health information technology, and healthy children and families." She recently posted a sample RHIO executive director job description.
RHIOs are all-the-rage these days - and our area is no different. Trouble is - no one can agree on what a RHIO should be. My concern is that the primary goal of a RHIO - to improve the care of the patient - is often secondary to more selfish goals of an orginazation. Unless the providers ina community cal really agree on the basic principles - a RHIO is not likely to succeed. - Dr GNU is a podiatrist and has interests in open-source software. Not many posts yet ...
- The Fat Doctor. 'nuf said? Excellent.
- Cosmic Watercooler is a nurseblog:
"I am an RN and I don't know why.
I like it, but the pay sucks.
I have a wonderful family and that's all that matters." - The Healthcare IT guy and Neil Versel's Health IT Blog are about .. um .. healthcare IT.
- And of course .. there is a new bird flu blog.

Dr. Reider: You are correct! Improving the care of the patient needs to be at the forefront. As a patient, I also see this including improving efficiency and helping to control the cost of healthcare.
