Some people like making strange faces in the mirror, the scent of gasoline, or the sound of evaporated milk in tin cans. Our thing is health IT blogs.
Last week, we featured 5 must-follow health IT blogs and promised you five more. Without further ado, we present some of the most awesome health IT blogs ever.
The Health Care Blog – @boltyboy
Matthew Holt is no stranger to the CareCloud blog. He knows we’re fans of him as a blogger, but we haven’t profiled his blog, which features thoughtful pieces from important industry figures. And while not all pieces featured on THCB are related to health IT, Holt recognizes what an important component HIEs, EHRs, and other HIT topics are to ongoing industry developments.
Definitely a must-follow. What other health care blog do you know discusses Obama’s botched health care reform messages, reasons why Warren Buffet shouldn’t treat his prostate cancer, and coins the word ‘walletectomy’ on one page?
Healthcare Scene Network – @ehrandhit
By following the Healthcare Scene, you get provocative pieces on health IT and mHealth in one spot, without having to scourge Twitter for the network’s eleven blogs.
Expect thoughtful pieces on provider data security on EMR and HIPAA, VC investment analysis in EMR and EHR and a pieces like predicting telemed in 1925 on Meaningful HIT News.
The Healthcare IT Guy – @ShahidNShah
What do we love most about the Shahid Shah, creator and editor of The Healthcare IT Guy? His intelligent, first person accounts on topics like the HIMSS conference or his crowdsourced pieces like “Tips from Real Users on How to Succeed with Electronic Medical Records.”
In other words, The Healthcare IT Guy is as ‘bloggy’ as blogs get – carefully curated content written in an accessible way with a defined target audience.
Health Blog, Bill Crounse, MD – @MicrosoftMD
Health Blog is an outlet for Microsoft’s worldwide health senior director, Bill Crounse, MD.
Dr. Crounse specializes in writing about how healthcare IT can be used in innovative ways to improve the way healthcare is delivered, improving efficiency and patient experience worldwide. Check back frequently for fascinating pieces about how senior citizens use the XBOX360 to improve health and personal sense of wellbeing or how health IT can make healthcare services more accessible and inexpensive to a wider range of patients.
My Health Tech Blog – @dleyva08
Deborah Leyva was in professional tech circles for 17 years, then later in the medical trenches as a registered nurse.
Now she’s taken lessons from her experiences to create her Healthcare & Technology blog, where she intends to discuss the potential of health IT to improve the way healthcare is delivered. Leyva feels technology for technology’s sake isn’t the solution to all of healthcare’s problems, but if used correctly, it can transform the culture and make it a little easier.
