Family Medicine Notes

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.
