Since the Government Direct Program has gone live, there’s a lot of talk and ways to go with being able to finally securely communicate. Back in October of last year, SureScripts announced their offering for this service too, an alternative but also secure avenue to communicate for doctors. ...

I like to keep the far right hand side open for both advertisers and resources to be used by healthcare individuals as well as consumers. Today I did an update with both the graphics and added a new PHR to the list, Patient Ally. Patient Ally is also a “free” PHR that is offered and stored on...

This adds more support to a permanent fix for the Medicare compensation fix too, a good thing. Perhaps this group can make some impact where others have not been able to get their attention. Most members of Congress from what I read though, are “non participants” in most areas of healthcare themselves...

First off I want to say thank you for the plug here and he might be right, I see all others talking about personal health records but I have not seen other bloggers and others putting a link on their site to make it easy to find Google Health or HealthVault, after all if you read about something and...

The Happy Hospitalist blog tells of his own experience in getting records from Walter Reed Hospital, and as you can see, it’s a long time. He’s treating a patient who had surgery there 3 years ago and needs the information to provide a treatment plan for the hospital. This is very good work...

Ok so what is this all about, the word participatory comes from the work participation, so in short this is what it is all about, getting involved in your healthcare. If you don’t get involved there’s nobody going to do it for you. We are very busy today as we have more information and decision...

So now one can order up and set up your time with a local lab, which is referenced on the site and in my area here it listed LabCorp locations as they are listed as a partner. This really is becoming a help yourself world when you need to order up your own and can even pay online. What else...

Medical Economics discusses the issue, and one comment I have to add on my own and one of my own personal pet peeves, is that people do not read. Anyone that has spent enough time around me will probably say that I am a broken record in this area, but it is so very true, and I’m not just talking...
