New to the Site: Blogroll

I just added a blogroll widget to TheFiveRights Blog. This will give you direct access to some of the blogs I track daily. I find the opinions expressed in them valuable, even if I don't always agree. Here are my reasons for inclusion:

• Lifehacker: An excellent site for personal, technical and professional productivity hints. One of the most popular blogs on the Internets. Their tagline says it all "tips and downloads for getting things done..."
• Modern Healthcare: This is what your CEO is reading... shouldn't you be reading this too??
• ASHP News Capsule: What issues does our profession think are important?
• WSJ Healthcare Blog: Some of the best coverage and commentary realted to overall health care issues
• ~synthesis~: Not healthcare, but mind expanding political and global thinking. Shafeen Charania gets the big picture. Worth a read. I wait on his every post...
• Healthcare Informatics: If medicine in general and pharmacy in specific has any hope of improving quality and efficiency, it will be on the back of advanced information technology. This is where to find the latest.
• Pharmacy Informatics: John Poikonen is one of the pharmacy profession's "Chief Informatics Officers." His comments on the latest in pharmacy informatics are always relevant.
• The Technium: OK, this is really not healthcare related... but if you want to really see some forward thinking on where we as a human race are headed, Kevin Kelly, the former editor-in-chief of Wired magazine's Technium blog is incredible. I'm an "idea guy" and can't wait for the next installment to blow me away. How forward thinking is Kevin Kelly?? He has a 2-letter domain website!! (www.kk.org) I rest my case.
  
• The Blonde Pharmacist: I've tried to find pharmacy specific blogs that don't sound like people who hate the profession... Everyone has an opinion, I don't always agree with hers, but I choose to follow along.
• The Health Care Blog: By far one of the best blogs about health care on the Internets. If you care for patients, this is a must read.

So this is it for now. I will update as I see the need. I am always looking for good health care realted blogs, people with opinions, willing to share constructive ideas. If you know of someone I've missed, make sure and drop them into the comments.
