Some great things about these message boards:
1. As you can see, they can be as division/team/project/region/etc . . . specific as you would like.
2. You can create limits on access through both "ranking" as well as "group"
-For example, only people registered as in the "healthcare information" group can access this forum
-Alternately, all people with "AD" or above clearance would be allowed to view but not others.
3. This "healthcare information" board would be an enormous relief to the washington healthcare information team who have been bombarding each others' inboxes for the last 2 weeks because of all the press regarding the rate increases.
And many more!
