"The first-ever conference on Healthcare Blogging will be on December 11, 2006.  The Medical Blog Network has an event lineup and list of current speakers. The conference will take place in Washington D.C. and hopes to show attendees the benefits of healthcare blogging and social media." (Thanks to HealthNex: incidentally liked the idea of independent healthcare record banks, coming out of one of IBM's InnovationJam, as could speed up the US target for a national patient record system?).
