The Internet and the Future of Patient Care

One of the initial purposes of this blog is for course work related to my informatics course, The Internet and the Future of Patient Care.  I will be posting specific comments relating to technology and health care specifically the social networking abilities of the internet, and privacy and security issues as well. I will also be posting about issues that are of interest to me in my PhD studies specifically diabetes prevention and management and the incorporation of technology.  Please see my intro below in the entry The Journey Begins

World Diabetes Day 2010

I have been active in Sacramento helping to raise awareness and educate the community about diabetes. The You Tube event link below shows a glimpse of our Sacramento 2009 World Diabetes Day event at the State Capitol. 
We will be hosting our second annual event on November 14th and will be lighting the State Capitol blue again to raise awareness about diabetes prevention and education.  Join us on the West steps of the Capitol for our celebration including physical activity, healthy food, a health fair and guest speakers.

The Journey Begins

Hello, My name is Deborah and I am beginning a four year PhD program in Nursing Science and Health Care Leadership.  I am one of 8 students in the inaugural cohort at the new Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing, UC Davis, California. I am very interested in the application of technology to diabetes prevention and care as well as technology that will improve and enhance the education of health care professionals.  I will be using this blog as a journal as I navigate my way through my courses and my research.
