Web/Health 2.0 For Dummies

Blogs, wikis, social bookmarking and social networking for dummies courtesy of Pew Trusts' e-patients.net. Simple explanations and visual demonstrations to better understand the basic concepts.

I've watched a couple of these before -- but have not seen a post with them conveniently in one place. Again the power of social networking (e-social improvement courtesy of the grid crowd). Moreover, I didn't really know who produced these short explanatory videos -- check out Common Craft for more videos including on RSS in Plain English.



Hmm . . . I may contact them to help me produce a clip called: Stark Law in Plain English.

Justia's RSS Federal Register

Do you have a need to monitor the federal rules, proposed rules and orders on a particular topic or particular agency? If so, Justia's Regulation Tracker to the rescue. A very useful tool for those of us in the highly regulated world of health care.

Thanks to Tom Mighell at inter alia I just learned about this new feature. I've added a couple of test RSS feeds on topics that I regularly try to monitor. You can also browse by government agency. I've been using Justia's federal court filings RSS feeds for a while to monitor cases filed in the Southern and Northern Districts of West Virginia but wasn't aware of this new federal rule tracker.
