Just because...

As I mentioned in the previous post, reading Atul Gawande's Being Mortal should be a must, wherever you are in health care. A doctor from a family of doctors with a hospice experience of his own was just another example from which we can learn. I stayed up late last night just to finish it.

Want to know how to get your medical records? It might be a perilous journey! Check out this post from HIStalk. You don't have to be a health care informatics genius to see how crazy this can be. You have rights. If you local hospital HIM department tramples them, be sure to contact the nice people responsible for enforcing HIPAA compliance.

Finally, I saw this link on a blog I read. I could not believe it; however, having been in an ER within the last few months, I do now wonder.

It's almost February, so you can guarantee, I will GoRedforWomen. This bad attitude has to stop.

More to come...enjoy the remaining moments of this weekend, wherever you are!
