UPDATED APRIL 19, 2013

TODAY'S POSTING:

Before starting this project I was trying myself to become as quickly and as fully informed as I could about telehealth, health information technology and healthcare social media. Not then finding one "go to site"  I began curating and aggregating this information and  started this Website. 

There are now many reliable resources: Too many to represent here even a sliver of what is available. In addition to the healthcare social media sources, a few of the obvious resources are ATA, HIMSS, and the National Telehealth Resource Centers. Helpful Websites include Mobi Health News, iMedical Apps, iHealth Beat, and the always informative, thoughtful blog postings of Carolyn Bloch of the Federal Telemedicine News.  There are many others out there. Of course there are also the federal sites such as PubMed.gov and HRSA’s wonderful Office for the Advancement of Telehealth headed by Sherilyn Pruitt. 

I'm closing this site today to focus more on my photography, violin, Italian and on making a living. Additional information as well as photographs can be found at my photography Web site which just went live recently: http://jecollmer.com/. Explore it. It's totally cool.

I had a great time and wish everyone the best.

Happy Spring!
