No, I'm not talking about HFMA starting a blog, but this past week, the winners of the second annual "2005 Best of the Medical Blogosphere" were announced over at Medgadget. This year, there were five categories: best medical blog, best new medical blog (created in 2005), best clinical sciences blog, best literary blog, best health policies/ethics blog, and best healthcare IT blog. In a few categories, voter turnout was fierce (at least, for the nascent healthcare blogosphere), with more than 2,000 people casting their votes - 3-5 times more than last year.Personally, I was pleasantly surprised at the variety, quality, and depth of blogs that were nominated. Just by scrolling through the top blogs in each category, you can read about topics such as: how one hospital CEO implemented Planetree, how to sign up for the healthcare blogger/reader meet-up at HIMSS, how an EMT in London handled two Nigerian patients with the measles, how to interpret a chest CT, and how one consultant is thinking through the GE/IDX merger. Happy surfing!
