What is My e-Health?

Who am I? What is My e-Health? And why I created it?

I am a knowledge hungry person. I like challenging jobs and I commit all my energy to the task I undertake and try to do it in the best possible manner. I always wanted to do something different than what everyone else around me was doing, but was never sure what career to pursue. Until I came across the "science" of health care information technology. (Many people might argue against calling it a science, but after completing Masters in Health Informatics, I agree more than before that it is definitely a science.) Now I think I have found the path. Let us see how well I walk it.

It is interesting what provoked me to create a blog and start writing. Reading and Writing are the things I generally do not do. I find it easier to express myself with spoken words (which are also rare according to my girl friend :)) rather than written words. My girl friend loves writing - poems, thoughts, anything. Recently in an emotionally charged situation I was made aware of the fact that I do not write anything even though I know that she likes it so much. And so I found a way out - the way I always do. If I write a blog, I can say that I have started writing and at the same time I can continue my cherished hobby of absorbing information about the evolving area of health care IT and writing it down for future reference.

My e-Health symbolizes the way I look at eHealth and how it can revolutionize the delivery of health care services. It will also inform every reader as to how their health can benefit from health care IT. Useful web resources, current news and reviews on topics related to health IT will be posted here regularly. Active reader participation is encouraged. Please feel free to send constructive criticism, suggestions and interesting information.

With this opening post I welcome you all to My e-Health!
