Greetings, Welcome to new participants on Click4hp. A recent review indicated a number of new subscribers and so I would like to take this opportunity as one of the cofacilitators of the list to invite you to sign on with a short intro of who you are and your interest in the list. We are currently in a discussion of the relationship between Literal and virtual workspaces. As this topic began we asked: What are the key dynamics at play as we transform our work with the use of the virtual space? How do we feel this in our day-to-day interactions? What kind of changes have you noted? How do the concepts of transparency, accountability, and collaboration play out in this/these relationship(s) between the virtual and the literal? As we have begun to think about these questions we learned, and some were relieved ;-), that it is okay to hit that delete key, to lurk, to not respond (thanks Craig!) The issues of how we manage information and the use of the internet specifically to enhance access to consumer health information have emerged as topics currently underway. Whether you are new to the list or have been watching for a while we always welcome your contributions. Alison Stirling will be taking the lead over the next few weeks as I head north for vacation. She is just returning from the West Coast of Canada so please join me in welcoming her back.
