Blogging and patien care

Blogging could be used as a medium for transferring patient information on a hospital intranet when the patient is moved from one location to another.

Blogged about this 10/4/06 8:09 AM. I've no idea if this has any validity at any hospital today.

Medical blogging and interactive Health Care could well be a future project with a potential.

It could be applied as an early warning or weak signals reporting system to indicate problems a patient is feeling.

If there is a record in digital form, it would be easier to analyze. What if the patient don't remember?

As a kind of self-diagnostics...Perhaps. What do you think?

»Medical records on an iPhone? | ZDNet Healthcare | ZDNet.com: "With dozens of electronic health record outfits struggling for market share, you need a gimmick to get attention. Life Record has just such a gimmick. Put your health records on your iPhone.

This is obviously a gimmick because there are not yet many iPhones out there, and AT&T charges out the wazoo for data transfers. But the deal does let Life Record talk about its concept of Web-based health records, which is a worthy subject of discussion.

The solution was announced back in July, and Life Record now has a key customer to offer. It’s a doctor. But doctors aren’t the point of sale on EMR technology. Hospitals are."
