Welcome Dmitriy, who just provided an excellent presentation on the role of blogs in healthcare at the CDHCC Conference
Guest Blogger, Dmitriy Krugylak, Publisher, The Medical Blog Network
My presentation at Spring 2006 Consumer Directed Health Care Conference and Expo, which was announced earlier has been delivered and was met with great enthusiasm.
The slides are attached, so you can download and see for yourself what caught the attention of consumer-directed healthcare leaders. Nearly everyone I talked to immediately got the tranformative power that blogging and open media will have on behavior of healthcare consumers. We are in the nascent stages of the "Openness Big Bang".
To conference attendees visiting the blog for the first time: Click on the links in the "Featured Columns" section to meet our regular contributors, as I did not have time to mention everyone.
