Blogs for Physicians, by Physicians

Blogs offer a great opportunity to create a dialog with other professionals within a community.   HITECH Answers’ goal is to create a resource directory of physician blogs specifically designed to help other physicians meet today’s challenges. 

We are specifically searching for, and introducing, blogs that share experiences in:

  • EHR implementations
  • EHR systems
  • Technology and its impact on practices
  • Rural medicine
  • Or just plain interesting

If you have a blog that you would like to recommend, we would love to read it. Send us a note with the link. Each week a new blog will be added so please check back.
