Healthcare Blogs

At this evening's IHI meeting, Jonathan showed how blogging can be used as a tool to stay up-to-date with developments in the health care domain. He created a file that you can use to import these blogs into Google Reader so you can read them at your convenience: google-reader-subscriptions.xml. The list of blogs is as follows:
