Subscribing to a Newsletter
Many of today’s health care organizations utilize digital communications to keep professional communities up to date on latest trends, technologies, and evidence-based practices. As you progress through your informatics specialization, the communications can support your professional growth as a scholar practitioner.

For this Assignment, you will subscribe to a daily newsletter from Fierce Healthcare.
To prepare:
Access the Fierce Healthcare website at http://www.fiercehealthcare.com/.
Enter your e-mail address into the “sign up for our newsletter” section of the website. You will receive a confirmation e-mail shortly after signing up. Copy and paste this confirmation into a Word document. If you are having trouble copying the e-mail in its entirety, you may also utilize the “print screen” button on your keyboard and then paste the copy of your screen into your Word document. Save this confirmation document, as you will submit this with your final paper.
Over the next weeks, make time to regularly browse the newsletters that you receive, selecting two informatics articles that are of particular interest to you. Each of the articles that you select must come from a different newsletter. SEE ATTACHED FILES
