Neil Versel’s Healthcare IT Blog has some interesting coverage of HIMSS because of his podcasts of interviews with the CEO of Athena Health and HIMSS Analytics. Quick Blog: Blog Administration HIMSS 07 Online Daily has some major stories including coverage of the keynote speakers.
The Healtcare IT Guy has a nice review of Tolven PHR open source running on a smart phone (more on this later).
And Medical Connectivity Consulting has some product reviews including COW, computers on wheels and the buzz about connectivity.

HIMSS – A Limited Showing for Web 2.0
March 4, 2007
Looking at educational sessions and vendor presentations, Web 2.0 made a relatively minor appearance. There was one session on Wikis, my eSession with Jack Mason (Healthnex blog) and maybe one other. Perhaps this should not be surprising in that the large vendors representing proprietary applications rather than open source. Open source was represented by the VA’s VistA EMR. Revolution Health was mentioned by Colin Powell who in on their board. While Web 2.0 does not offer core functionality to healthcare yet, blogs, wikis, social networking and tagging have future capabilities yet to be discovered. Maybe Steve Case should keynote next year and stir things up.
