“The HIN Blog’s purpose is to keep our users better informed about resources and services at HIN and the healthcare industry in general,” Ms. Matthews said. Matthews launched the HIN Blog with a mention of the recent Supreme Court decision in favor of HMOs in patient lawsuits at the state level, and invited reader commentary on the subject. Future HIN Blog commentary will react to developments in behavioral healthcare, compliance, disease management, ehealth, HIPAA, managed care and regulation.
Matthews also views the HIN Blog as a conduit for feedback on HIN programs and offerings.
“We are planning several new audio conferences, including childhood obesity, predictive modeling, and pay for performance programs, and welcome ideas for audio conference topics or speakers. The HIN Blog is a place where our users can communicate these suggestions.”
