Blogging has come a long way since its ‘web log,’ pre-portmanteau days.
In the case of health IT, blogging has grown parallel to the industry – quickly and exponentially. Therefore, we’ve decided to split our list of health IT blogs to follow on Twitter into two separate posts. Below are the first five of our bunch.
HIT Consultant – @HITConsultant
The HIT Consultant knows his audience – HIT professionals who are interested in where their industry is going.
The blog helps interested parties keep tabs on HIT’s rapid growth, providing comprehensive industry content and sharing carefully curated material from other reputable sources.
HIS Talk – @HISTalk
This is the second time we feature the anonymous author of HISTalk in one of our Twitter follow posts, and with good reason: the blog’s Twitter feed is as juicy as the blog itself.
This blogger’s writing is influential, and things bubble up when insider industry types stop by the site.
EMR Daily News – @EMRDailyNews
Stephen Campbell launched EMR Daily News in May 2009 – light-years in health IT time. A six-time tech entrepreneur, Campbell has become an authority in the health IT sphere.
Check out EMR Daily News’ Twitter feed for up-to-the-minute news on electronic health records and health IT.
HL7 Standards Blog – @healthstandards
HL7 Standards is Corepoint Health’s editorial outlet. The blog serves to advance the healthcare technology conversation for industry professionals who wish to connect in a meaningful way.
Follow the blog on Twitter to keep up with the best from their four key sections: the Blog, Viewpoints, Directory, and Events.
Health IT Buzz – @ONC_HealthIT
Health IT Buzz is the official health IT blog of the ONC, where they aim to create a “forum for engagement” for health IT professionals, legislators, industry enthusiasts, and interested citizens.
The ONC promises to provide unique perspectives of ONC happenings, allow comments, and perhaps most importantly, they intend to listen.
