The following is an e-mail arrived from my friend Simon James the other day – after I suggested it would be a good idea if the blog publicised his now well established Australian Health IT magazine.
What follows is a shameless plug provided because I think it is important this forum exists– feel free to take advantage!

Dear David,
As some of your readers may be aware, Pulse+IT was established in August 2006 as a quarterly Health IT publication directed at GP and Specialist practice.
Five printed editions of Pulse+IT have now been released, and I'm pleased to let you know that the publication will move forward with an expanded scope encompassing hospital IT and health informatics.
The forthcoming November edition will be the first magazine released with the expanded editorial framework. Among many others, the magazine will feature articles on the Motion Computing C5, Gello, the MedInfo Interoperability Demonstration and OpenEHR.
While Pulse+IT is a subscription-based publication, I'd be happy to offer members of your readership (and any of their colleagues) a complementary hard copy of the forthcoming November edition.
Folks interested in taking advantage of this offer need only send me an email with their postal address by 15th October.
Suggestions, questions, comments, editorial ideas and submissions are most welcome.
Best wishes,
Simon

All who are interested should take up the offer and consider supporting this initiative.

Where is the information on who is backing 'Pulse + IT'?
ReplyDeleteWill the magazine publish anything on non-proprietary software?
Could you please link to 'The Coming Electronic Health Record Software Disaster' http://www.linuxmednews.com/1190745985 from an visible page (not buried in a comment) of your blog?
Hi Teki,
ReplyDeleteThere's no one "backing" Pulse+IT, it is completely independent and self funded.
That said, the publication has received editorial support (without payment) from the likes of NEHTA, HL7 Australia, MSIA, AMA, RACGP and HISA.
All articles are selected on merit, and I don't sell advertorial. As such, if there is something happening in the open-source world that is relevant to my Australian readership, I'd be happy to commission an article on the subject.
Regards,
Simon
