How to keep updated with eHealth and telemedicine
Hi,
>From one of the suggestions of one of our members, we wanted to see how you
all keep up to date with the news of eHealth and Telemedicine. The ones
that I use (with brief descriptions) are
PAHO Knowledge Management: A list from the Pan-American Health Organization
with emails about eHealth and knowledge managent for the Americas. It
includes papers that are just published, web seminars, conferences and job
postings.
IMeCA (Informatica Medica Codigo Abierto, Open Source Health Informatics,
www.informaticamedica-lac.org): A list for developers and decision makers
that are interested in using open source software for health in the
Americas.
Fayerwayer (http://www.fayerwayer.com/cl/): technology list in spanish, and
I also follow them on Twitter (@fayerwayer)
What other sites, email lists, or twitter account do you use to keep up to
date?
Joaquín

Whatever happened to the eHealth Intelligence Report from WHO? It was one
of the better weekly news updates. It seems to have stopped about a year
ago.
For US-based health IT news updates, I subscribe to updates from ONC, the
weekly NHINWatch newsletter and the daily iHealthBeat from the California
Healthcare Foundation (CHCF). HealthBizIndia publishes articles monthly and
has decent coverage. I haven't yet found a news service that covers eHealth
in Africa or the Pacific Islands.

I am missing the eHealth Intelligence Report from WHO too. A Linked-in group is still active and that helps; the group uses the same name: eHealth Intelligence Report.
We try to share news and announcements in the d:group, Telemedicine in low resource settings, http://dgroups.org/ (search for the above mentioned group and please subscribe)
Table of Contents Alerts from journals, such as the one from “Telemedicine and e-Health Journal” and from the “Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare” helps enormously.
The International Society for Telemedicine and eHealth (ISfTeH) newsletter, helps as well (i.e., http://www.isfteh.org/news/read_the_isftehs_january_2012_newsletter ).
Kind regards, Maria Zolfo

Currently this updating can be complex ("fiddly" is a betetr word). I currently use the "alerting systems"(automatic) from journal sites and other medical sites such as MEDSCAPE for a range of medical topics that I filter and feedback to the Consultant, Advanced medical training and undergraduate staff. Most journals now have an Abstract 'alerting' system that automatically sends out the current list of publications into my email Inbox. These alerts can also be filtered for preferences e.g. Telemedicine or the topic of choice. Good examples are the NEJM, ACP, JAMA, JAMIA, BMJ, MEDSCAPE and I one from Stanford University. The 'filter' at my end is the DEL key. The beauty of these systems is that I do not have to go looking for information it comes to me automatically. I am not sure if this answers the questions raised in tis discussion.Terry Hannan

Here is an example of my "email alerts" relating to hypertension articles. To ensure that you always receive your Journal Watch Hypertension Alert, add the e-mail address to your address book.
Today I was sent 4 Abstracts with the Journal citations and added reviewer comments. I am prsuming similar access to Telemedicine is probably available. Terry Hannan

I hope this information is contributing positively to this discussion.
