We came across a great article in Social Media Today, by Steve Olenski, looking at a PWC Report on the state of social media in the healthcare industry in the US.

There have been some great ideas in the healthcare field but none so potentially powerful as the “Green Button”.  first discussed at HealthCamp SFBay the idea is to set up a universal button to allow patients to share their data.

Because a main obstacle to developing good personal health software is that developers need…]]> http://blog.lifetimehealthdiary.com/the-green-button-health-data-idea-gains-traction/feed/ 0 http://blog.lifetimehealthdiary.com/liveblogging-omg-my-pancreas-just-texted/ http://blog.lifetimehealthdiary.com/liveblogging-omg-my-pancreas-just-texted/#comments Wed, 11 May 2011 21:07:16 +0000 Rebecca Caroe http://blog.lifetimehealthdiary.com/?p=455 Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'zen_garden_excerpt_more' was given in /var/www/vhosts/blog.lifetimehealthdiary.com/httpdocs/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 170

The original post by e-Patient Dave appears on http://e-patients.net/archives/2011/04/doctor-as-e-patient-jopm.html Two years ago we wrote “Let’s hear it for the ‘d-patients’” — doctors who become e-patients themselves. We said “D-patients prove that patient empowerment is anything but anti-doctor. Heck, sometimes it’s a doctor preservationmovement.” A new article in our Journal of Participatory Medicine provides a compelling example: A Physician’s Experience…]]> http://blog.lifetimehealthdiary.com/powerful-new-%e2%80%9cdoctor-becomes-an-e-patient%e2%80%9d-story-in-journal-of-participatory-medicine/feed/ 0 http://blog.lifetimehealthdiary.com/compelling-lecture-on-clinical-decision-making-and-diagnostic-error/ http://blog.lifetimehealthdiary.com/compelling-lecture-on-clinical-decision-making-and-diagnostic-error/#comments Tue, 22 Mar 2011 02:53:02 +0000 Katerina Jackson http://blog.lifetimehealthdiary.com/?p=488 Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'zen_garden_excerpt_more' was given in /var/www/vhosts/blog.lifetimehealthdiary.com/httpdocs/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 170

This post by e-Patient Dave appeared on e-patients.net on March 11, 2011.     It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.

What does “patient-centric” really means? – that was one of the questions addressed during the interactive Roundtable organized by the Institute of Federal Health Care and Lifetime Health Diary in Washington, D.C. on March 4.
