Welcome to the Healthcare Communications Network (HCN)
HCN is a consortium of healthcare organizations serving the information needs of US-based healthcare professionals, committed to ensuring consent, transparency, and data privacy among all of our stakeholders since 2009.
The HCN “Trending in Medicine” and “Essential” newsletters are email publications that curate the most-read articles and resources by US-based physicians, NP/PAs, pharmacists, vision care specialists, and nurses from more than 5,000 medical websites, which includes many of the most prestigious, peer-reviewed medical journals in the world.
In addition to medical journal sites, the network also includes top-quality medical societies, CME/CE providers, medical social communities, healthcare-specific news outlets, and other professional service providers. Our patented technology identifies the most-read articles in our network by US-based healthcare professionals, and the HCN team curates those articles and disseminates them into a series of specialty-specific versions of the HCN Trending in Medicine and Essentials newsletters, which provide our physician, advanced practice, and allied healthcare readers with a bi-monthly snapshot of the most popular medical articles according to their peers.
