AHIP's new website, HSAdecisions.org, just published a consumer's guide to healthcare spending accounts: "what you need to know about HSAs, HRAs, FSAs, and MSAs." I work in healthcare and I still need help with this! thank you, AHIP.

Also HSADecisions site was recent news: as of 3/2005, 1,000,000+ people were covered by HSA/HDHP products. This is double from six months ago. Get ready for some more explosive growth.

Check out the Grand Rounds posting on Dr. Tony's blog. For the blogging newbies, this is kind of the "week in review" for the medical/hospital blogging community.

For those coming in from Dr. Tony's, welcome! Find out more about hospital impact.

(if only grand rounds could be held here instead of our hospital conference rooms)
