Discovering Patient-Centered Care
Blog by Joe Babaian The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease. ~ Sir William Osler, M.D. Let’s visit care at the N of 1. During this fraught time of pandemic, patient focus ranges from the personalized care we expect (or should expect) to the detrimental rejection of […]
The Future of HCLDR
We are nearing the 9th anniversary of the HCLDR Community and I think it’s about time we had another discussion about the future of the community itself. Back in August 2012, HCLDR started as a 30min tweetchat. [Why 30min? Because we didn’t think we’d have enough to talk about for a full hour – boy […]
Looking Ahead to 2021
This next HCLDR chat on Tuesday December 22nd at 8:30pm EST (for your local time click here) will be the final one for 2020. We will return on Tuesday January 5th. Given the year we have all had, we thought it would be nice to take a 1 week break at the end of this […]
HCLDR – Chat. Community. Action.
Whenever the calendar flips to August, I get a warm glow inside…and it has nothing to do with the hot, sticky weather outside. Way back in August 2012, we held our first 30min tweetchat. In my wildest dreams I never thought we would still be here 7 years later, still going strong. As we enter […]
Healthcare Social Media 2019
Blog post by Colin Hung This week on #hcldr we are going to revisit an always-popular chat topic – social media. Using social media to connect, stay informed and find professional opportunities is second nature to members of the #hcldr and other online communities (#pinksocks, #HITSM, #bcsm, #HITMC, etc). We have all drank the proverbial […]
Thanks and the Future
Blog post by Colin Hung This is a holiday week for our friends in the US. Thursday is Thanksgiving – a day for celebrating with family and giving thanks for the bounty of the year. Because of this I thought we would go with a lighter topic this week on #hcldr – Payment Reform! Just […]

Ignorance is not bliss when it comes to Health Literacy – March 4th Tweetchat
Blog post by Colin Hung Last week I had the privilege of attending #HIMSS14 – the annual conference that focuses on innovation in healthcare IT. HIMSS14 was the largest in HIMSS history with over 38,000 attendees and 1,200+ vendors in the exhibit hall. During the conference I had the chance to meet many friends, collaborators […]
Nov 26th Chat – Thanksgiving, The Perfect time to Engage with Grace.
Blog post by Lisa Fields This week is Thanksgiving in the United States. We thought it’d be fun to use this holiday theme for this week’s #HCLDR, much like we did last month when we had a Thanksgiving chat with our Canadian friends (they celebrate about a month earlier). Please join us Tuesday November 26th […]
Oct 22nd Chat – Maintaining our Focus in a Digitally Distracting world
A post by Lisa Fields I can still hear my mother saying to my sister and I when we were young,“Girls, enough is enough.” Usually she would say this after we’d been singing at the dinner table too long or after pestering her to buy us candy. My mother is a wise woman because sometimes […]
