This is conference season. And election season. School is starting. There are hurricanes, and news stories, and new releases from AHRQ and the FDA and the IOM. There are so many things going on this post could have run on forever, just from the cool things said and discussed on Twitter THIS WEEK. It’s crazy. Some of the hashtags I wanted to include, but didn’t, are #ARLesci, #bestcare, #DNSSEC, #ENCODE, #meetcontent, #PCORI, #plaintalkconf, #ptchat, and #VBP. Every week there are good things to share from #meded, #medlibs, #hcsm, #ehr, #DWDchat, #hcsmca, and #PHDchat, and MORE. I learned new tricks with hashtags. I learned that you can use a dollar sign as well as a number sign (more on that next week). I learned that tracking #Disease or #Antibiotic or other seemingly broad and specific health terms can be a great way to keep up on trends in healthcare news, without using the words “healthcare” or “health care” or “health”. See? I restrained myself. Aren’t you glad?
