iMedicalApps.com

iMedicalApps.com is the new home for the former iphonemdeicalappreview.com I linked to a while back. (Kudos on the name change, the original isn’t easy or intuitive to type).

From their email today:

Just wanted you to know we changed our blogs name from iphonemedicalappreview.com, to iMedicalApps.com. We now have a team of physicians and medical students writing reviews and commenting on mobile applications for the iPhone and other devices (reason for the move: Our first name was entirely too long, and we moved to WordPress).

So, a site for medical app reviews, and a better name, too!

Health Care Law Blog: A 1930 Medical Record

Very cool glimpse into the past:

Health Care Law Blog: A 1930 Medical Record

Here are photos of the medical record of a patient from 1934. The medical record format is simple yet complete.

Today’s medical record takes up pages on pages, and is a giant time-sink when compared with this notation system. Before 3rd party billing (and monkeys with guns) this was all that we needed.

Thanks for sharing, Health Care Law Blog…
