I especially agree with the accessibility and availability parts. Everyone should have access to important information in Health Care. And blogging seems to be the fastest and easiest way to do it. http://www.articlesjoy.com/health/ I think Nailnil hit the nail about blogging.

However, I would like to point out a few things though: * A study conducted by the MRI Research and CBS chief research officer David Poltrack states that only 8 percent of Americans read blogs. * Search Engines like blogs. A majority of the blogs have the export to "XML RSS feed" capability which allows easy sharing of blog content. Both my above points seem to show two different things. However what lies within is the fact that: * Blogging can be used as tools for creating on-line communities of people interested in the same subject. Thoughts are shared through a common medium. * Blogs are great marketing, monitoring, conversing and learning tools that should be taken advantage of by individuals and businesses everywhere. * Majority of the web users use search engines. Since search engines like blogs they show results that include posts from the blogs. Personally I feel blogging is a very important area in Health Care. Not only do you stay up to date, you can share your comments and find answers through a variety of people. Thus I conclude that "Accessibility" and "Availability" of Knowledge is very important in any industry and most particularly in the Health Care industry where "Everything needs to be considered with equal level of importance".
