A good healthcare leader is a well-informed leader. Most
managers and executives, however, do not have time to peruse hundreds of
journals each week to aggregate information on what is happening/trending in
the industry. Instead of seeking out the information, smart leaders have the
information sent to them.
News feeds make this easy. Really Simple Syndication (RSS)
quickly provides the latest updates from your favorite websites. Many websites
offer RSS: When a new article is published, it is also sent to your RSS Feed
folder. This is accomplished using Outlook, or other email clients. RSS feeds
may be found with a Google search, but below is a site that has aggregated a
list of RSS feeds:

content you want to receive.
