About Social Media Today
About and Contact Us
HealthWorks Collective is an editorially independent, moderated community for thought leaders in international healthcare. We curate content and provide resources about all aspects of modern medicine, providing a community where healthcare professionals can debate the latest issues and advances in their field.
We host discussions about innovative medical technology and the latest healthcare policy ideas. We examine issues such as remote diagnostics, insurance reform, hospital administration, health care IT, medical education and the future of global health. With the help of our bloggers, we have become the leading online destination for thoughtful, intelligent healthcare debates. Join the conversation!

“The military medical system (AMEDD) has been using this in AHLTA their electronic medical records.It does get a bit outlandish (bitten by a shark while training for SEALs) But the biggest obstacle will be reprogramming the ICD code/CPT linkage. So now we will be in compliance with the EU.”
“Perhaps there is a compromise here. Paternalistic implies a forced choice. Unfortunately those who are sensitive to this over-react and leave it up to the patient to determinie their appropriate care plan. I believe it takes suggestions, trial and error, a trusting relationship to INVESTIGATE alternatives and see what works, taking in to consideration that patient's ability to be flexible or not.”
