Have 90 seconds to spare? Here are a few links on healthcare, hospitals, and innovation:

WSJ Health Blog: Overcrowded ER? Put patients in the hallway. Apparently, the data says it doesn't adversely impact quality. Nurses hate it, though some say that's exactly the point.

[More:]

DiabetesMine: The Three Ds: Diabetes + Denial + Depression. If we are really going to solve diabetes in this country, it will have to include treatment for depression as well. Intricately linked. In fact, the same goes for most chronic diseases - how do we care for and treat the whole person, and not just the disease?

Health Affairs Blog: Is the "medical home" concept making a comeback? And do physicians have to be at the center of it?

The Health Care Blog: Matthew's reflections on health 2.0 and the wildly successful health 2.0 conference that is just closing shop now. You better believe it - consumer-facing healthcare tools & services have arrived and are better than ever.

Grand Rounds at Emergiblog: For new readers of Hospital Impact, let me introduce you to "Grand Rounds", a weekly "best of the best" of medical and healthcare bloggers. Through this blog compendium (we call it a blog carnival), we have formed a "community" online that has led to many face-to-face meetings, friendships, and interesting collaboration opportunities. Get to know the nurses, physicians, wonks, and administrators who are actively blogging about healthcare.
