    3. Turn in to Amy Lindsey, EON Editor

 

Helpful Hints:

  1. Writing a blog is no more than 5 paragraphs long
  2. Remember HIPAA – no patient identifiers
  3. Links to other articles or websites that can provide more information about what you are writing about is good
  4. Blogs are NOT a dissertation, a thesis, a research article
  5. Blogs are friendly and include things like (but not limited to):
    1. Review an article you have read (or website, or YouTube video…)
    2. Share a story about a team building activity
    3. Share a story about Care of Self or Colleague or Community or Patient/Family
    4. Share information you learned at a conference (or grand rounds, or Webinar…)
