Inside the minds of healthcare innovators
Envision Solutions and The Medical Blog Network are kicking off a comprehensive study of the global healthcare blogging community. The “Taking the Pulse of the Healthcare Blogosphere” survey will track the demographics and opinions of healthcare bloggers from around the world. According to the organizers of the event, "the study is the first systematic attempt to gather comprehensive opinion and demographic data from the global community of healthcare bloggers." Anyway, the 2006 edition of the survey will run from July 31 to September 29 and is open to individuals and organizations that devote at least 30% of their blogging time to healthcare-related topics.
It will be interesting to see the results sometime later in the fall. As Dmitriy Kruglyak of the Medical Blog Network points out, the results of this survey could influence the pace of future innovation within the healthcare industry: "The rapid emergence of the healthcare blogosphere leaves healthcare consumers, professionals and institutions no choice but to pay attention to it. This new form of media is steadily gaining credibility and shaping the reputations of healthcare leaders,vendors, providers and other industry players. This survey will provide a roadmap people can use to successfully navigate this rapidly evolving online ecosystem."
Tentatively, the final results will be presented at the Healthcare Blogging Summit 2006 taking place in Washington, D.C. on December 11.
