I'm blogging about physician communications, more specifically physician online communications using Internet technology. I am not a physician; my work responsibilities are highly interdependent and support the work flow and relationships of primary care and specialty care physicians. I have been working in the field of Internet technology and health care for the past 10 years and have been in health care for 25+ years. I'm employed in a large integrated health care delivery system in the Midwest, Community Health Network, Indianapolis IN. We don't have all the answers. We strive to be one of the leading systems in the U.S. in the arena of inpatient and ambulatory care, electronic medical record utilization.

My intent is to share thoughts and ideas about our experiences related to physician communications using technology such as intranets, extranets, blogs, corporate and personal email, IM, texting, and new media techniques with streaming audio and video. From my preliminary investigations, I have found limited research on the web or blogosphere specific to this important topic. So my agenda is to put some content in play and begin to contribute to that void for any interested individuals or groups to benefit from benefit from. Please comment honestly, directly and respectfully.
