01.13.10 – Disruptive Women Adds Bloggers, Releases Value of Health eBook

The Dispatch from Disruptive Women

Friends,

2009 was one for the health care record books—and from the looks of things 2010 promises to be just as dramatic. And Disruptive Women will be right there in the middle—framing, commenting, and providing insights and perspectives to some of the most pressing health care challenges.

We are planning several more e-books, in person briefings and conferences and have added a number of esteemed new bloggers to our Disruptive Women roster (see below).

Some of the topics we plan to focus on in-depth include: Mental Health, Informatics–EHRs, PHRs, Meaningful Use, Caregiving/Workforce, Women’s Health with a conference, Telehealth/Remote Monitoring/Mobile Health, End of Life, Alternative/Integrative Medicine, Public Health, Genomics/Genetics/Personalized Medicine… And, oh, yes, Health Reform.

I am very interested in your feedback: which topics, either listed here or not, would you like us to address in the coming year?

On behalf of all the Disruptive Women, best wishes for a year of good health, much happiness, and peace. Here’s to being disruptive!
