Business stuff, sort of
Feb. 28th, 2006 06:11 pmI've been reading a lot of medblogs - usually done by doctors, nurses, residents, paramedics, etc. talking about what they do or interesting cases/news stories, and so forth. (Some are clinical, some are literary, but there are a LOT of cool ones out there.) There are also ones done for health business - insurance, pharma, that sort of thing. Of course, there are patient/caregiver blogs also, but I don't read those so much.
Anyway, I've been thinking about starting a blog about the idiocies I run into working as a biller/insurance specialist, the cases I can't win, the ones I do, and the things I think people need to know about our current healthcare "system". Obviously, everything would be HIPAA compliant - no identifying info, etc. It would also give me more of a soapbox on the inanities and problems inherent, as well as possible solutions.
What I was wondering was if there would be people here interested in reading these vignettes, and/or critiquing me on them. If so, I'll create a filter and try posting some of them here, first, before I try doing a blog "dedicated" to them. I also need to see if I can write/update that often. ;)
Please let me know if you think you'd be interested. I appreciate the input. (I'm also interested in finding an "appropriate" icon for such posts - if anyone on my flist who does icons has ideas, I'd be thrilled.)
(BTW, I survived my fall from Saturday just fine. Not even really achy anymore.)
