Sunday blogging: the summary of the health blogosphere


After several days of intense work both as the necessary leisure, we return to the attack with our selection of every Sunday. An entry that we love to prepare, think, plan and which shows how the world of healthcare blogosphere is growing daily. By the way, if you find any interesting link, or discover a new blog that you think need to include a Sunday, you just have to say (comment on the blog or email to saludconcosas@gmail.com ).

Now, without further ado, I leave you with our selection the best of the week or at least what has caught most attention. We hope you like it, here it is:

- The Nothing is free blog (a must if you are interested in the economy), have begun a series of posts analyzing the relationship between health, retirement and mortality. An interesting topic from an unusual perspective.

- Internet has changed the way we work in knowledge-based professions. A clear example is health care, and as we read in Pharma Marketer, the Internet has become the source most important information for physicians. One thing we all envision and that reflects how times change, slowly but surely.

- Montse Carrasco also recently premiered a new blog ( Swing), participated last week at the weekly meeting Kuidamos 2.0 you talking about journalism and health (with Alain Ochoa , Emma Pérez Romera and Taite Cortés). Want to know what is TeKuidamos 2.0 and spoken? Lee this entry and understand everything.

- Change requires innovation and professionals who do things differently, they are rethinking reality, seeking solutions to problems that no priority but are considered basic. Jay Parkinson tells his story, that of a doctor who treated patients using different tools. Creative ideas that serve to end the drought that impose these times of crisis and comfort, if change makes it all worse off.

- Finally we have access to the website of the European Clinical Trials Registry that allows you to find any clinical trial of member countries and also includes patient information. What We Read count.

- Another interesting development that will be of great help is the Pubmed version for mobile use. bibliovirtual tells us the characteristics of the application and it shows with an example that the results across the web and mobile are identical.

- A few days ago we were in Barcelona talking to health executives working on tools 2.0 (in this entry you have the presentation we use). Phil Baumann on his blog is Social Health, recently published two entries where it has some tricks and strategies for leaders and managers talk about social networks.

- There are many hospitals that are raised to create a blog, even many rush to it, but it is very difficult to maintain. Fran Sánchez discusses in his blog the reasons that can derail the blog of a hospital.

- The Andalusian Health have invested heavily in both centers accreditation and their health professionals. We have always wondered about the usefulness of this process, even at the time we request further information to friends Sanitarius Homo. In response, Carlos Nunez gives us an entry about accreditation, quality and excellence and sieved with a real vision of the process. Thanks!

- We still do not understand and continue to believe that change will come online soon and finally be seen not as an enemy. reading this entry from San Blas Sessions will understand everything.

- Medicaid is about to grow, plus much, because after Obama's health reform will be many citizens who pass a public service. However, what is the U.S. medical facility ready for that increase? And as the Wall Street Journal , will there be enough primary care physicians?

- The Clinical Hospital of Madrid is a large hospital, some agile movements, or so it seems when compared to other schools of similar size. However, the line of innovative work undertaken by the Innovation Unit getting create and consolidate various tools 2.0 open exchange of knowledge. July Mayol, a surgeon and director of the unit, tells its progress in this input.

- Our most widely read entry week talking about Google Calendar and its use in a hospital department of internal medicine.

Sunday stroll, breathing spring and see how time flies (and even more mysteriously disappears if an hour). For this reason, and get everything has a different color, we leave with music by the hand of the G-5

A Nice Wedding Message





Sometimes with the right words can mean everything. Other times, many, with too many words not said anything, that's almost like saying everything well. A good way to self-defined, to ensure that each is defined by his deeds, his words and his silences.

Song Saturday to pick up the pieces of the week, cornering and enjoy day. We rely on The New Raemon and coffee. Happy Saturday to all.

self-defined socio something wrong with what



all speak the patient's chronic and geriatric care, and the data leave no doubt. This table, extracted from McKinsey Quarterly, shows us how much it costs to meet the chronic patients in a health system, and also specifies the cost of some of the most common problems. So in all the reports of the last two years to improve the sustainability of the system always talks about improving care for chronic conditions.


The question now is: create an organization dedicated to the chronic? We modify the current system "affecting or creating new devices? Or review the current procedures and see where they could fail? Just one detail: in the chronicity, the social aspect is fundamental and yet coordination between social services (depending on city councils, provincial or autonomous communities, as appropriate) and health remains poor. Perhaps this should be another starting point in analyzing the issue. The word " socio " almost seems ironic today.

The free tools available on the Internet began to star in several articles in scientific journals. This time it's the turn of Google Calendar, in the article " electronic calendars as tools for organizing Internal Medicine" which was published in the latest issue of the journal Clinical English.

The text presents various uses of electronic calendars medical services, among which include: planning and coordination of medical guards professionals, teaching and clinical sessions, coordination of residents, management, rental, scientific meetings, coordination between different assistive devices, and research.
