Changes to Managed Care Matters

Nothing drastic, so no, we’re not going away or selling the site to the New York Times, and despite rumors to the contrary, MCM has not been acquired by a very large TPA.
No, we’ve added a feature that should make the blog an easier read on mobile devices – blackberries and iPhones and Droid phones too. Just click on the box on the right hand side of the home page and voila’. We’ve heard from a couple readers that it’s a bit tough to read posts on their handhelds, so hopefully this will help out.
Or, even simpler, add this link to your favorites – it’s a direct connection to the mobile feed.
We’re looking at making some blog upgrades later this year – if you have any usability gripes or issues, let us know and we will keep those in mind as we plan our next iteration.
Also coming in the next week are posts on:
– results of the eighth annual Survey of Prescription Drug Management in Workers Comp
– a review of Paul Starr’s new book on health reform in America
– an analysis of Rick Santorum’s health care record
– the new NCCI report on aging and workers comp injuries.
Vacation was great, and it’s good to be back.
