Uh.. check out Yahoo terms of use. Realize that a doctor no question is a medical provider under the terms of HIPAA. The cannot use Yahoo groups for anything remotely resembling patient data. Now if they just want to talk to each other about doctor things not related to patient records that *might* be a different story. But it strikes me as a really bad idea. I was against it even for a patient support group that was definitely outside the parameters of the law.
