Module 6 post

I have enjoyed the online course, the flexibility was wonderful over the summer. It did take a little getting used to as far as scheduling and spacing out assignments. I especially enjoyed the modules about EHRs and am excited about the prospect of using them in the future. My least favorite part of the class of course was studying the computer systems and security. I am currently taking a computer class but haven't progressed to the point where this was easy for me to understand.

Both patients and health care providers may want to create a blog and for a similar purpose: that of obtaining and/or sharing information related to a certain condition. I have read several blogs from medical clinicians about various illnesses and found them interesting, especially those from other countries. Ethical considerations regarding privacy issues are crucial; any identifying information about a clincian's clients must be kept from a public blog.
