Tech Medicine Links is a collection of selected developments in the worlds of technology and health care.

The Kindle for Medical Education, from "Life as a Healthcare CIO":
I've described the iPod Touch as the next great technology for medical education, but the Kindle is also a device with great potential. We've recently implemented Kindle support for all our 20,000 educational resources at HMS... Our integration on the Mycourses educational website enables any Word or PDF document to be delivered to the Kindle wirelessly... HMS is the first Medical School to offer such a green alternative to all of their compatible resources to be downloaded directly to an eBook.
Practice Fusion, a free ad-supported EMR, is now entirely web-based:
As the first EMR to be offered completely free and web-based (announced in October, 2007), Practice Fusion is now being used in 45 states, by nearly 2,000 users, and is one of the fastest growing EMR communities in the US. The company continues to focus on innovation by leveraging and supporting latest technology. Practice Fusion is now supported on all major operating systems and web browsers, thereby lowering the barriers to entry for physician practices and eliminating significant technology hurdles present with other vendors.
