Good opinion piece on value of EBM.
Informa healthcare chooses Atypon for unified platform. Good move for Informa, which favored home-grown platforms in the past.
Dillon brings experience at Misys & McKesson to Elsevier, as well as earlier exp. at Biogen & J&J. Should help bridge Elsevier’s clinical & education publications and products with health IT and EHRs.
Good post by Jeff Jarvis on newspapers and business models. In particular, Jarvis critiques recent comments by Financial Times that readers will pay for quality. Jarvis’ pt: ad-support is key part of business model for papers, not just subscription fees. Yet, I’d add that increasingly readers are willing to pay –directly or indirectly– for convenience & features of online news and less willing to pay for home delivery of print. Quality content matters, but so does use of technology to improve relevance and convenience of content to readers (and advertisers).
John Moore at Chilmark on drawbacks of having CCHIT as sole certifier of EHRs, esp. due to their close relationship with EHR vendors.
DeepDyve (formerly Infovell) releases free tools & widgets that enhance search on websites and blogs. Users can find “more like this” content from DeepDyve’s broad collection of authoritative sites that are included in their search index. Users can also select blocks of text to use to run a “more like this” search. Finally, a WordPress plug-in is available that allows bloggers to automatically include links to related articles from DeepDyve’s search index. These tools are especially useful to medical and scientifically-oriented sites and blogs. Great for e-patient sites!
Review of a session at the BIO 09 conference on social media usage in biotech/life science companies. Jen McCabe, Schwen Gwee of Vertex, Ed Silverman, Elsevier, Jerry Johnson of Brodeur and Brian Reid of Weisscom, participated. Links to presentations included.
a little scary that these folks opine about Google Health without knowing any details of how it works or doesn’t work. I’ll point them to the e-patients.net site!
AHRQ – has created plain language guides that compare the effectiveness and side effects for treatments of many common conditions.
More focus on use of analytics to control healthcare costs by reducing fraud. Good news for healthcare analytics companies.
HealthLibrarian.net enriches the NPI database and allows users to search by specialty field.
