DOTmed Health Care Business News, a leading health care magazine catering to industry professionals, has published its first issue. A name change to the magazine, previously, DOTmed Business News, was announced during RSNA in December.
The theme of the inaugural issue of HCBN is "green" health care. Topics range from updates and information about reprocessing medical equipment and a rundown of eco-friendly products and practices, to an interview with Practice Greenhealth's executive director, Laura Wenger. There's also an article on top tips to greening your facility, covering products and services from SterilMed, Lac-Mac, GE, Philips, Siemens, Toshiba and more.
