Well, this ought to generate some chatter among us e-literati who’ve been trying to get noticed by the stodgies! (Or, as Pew would say, “The 74% of the 80% onliners who look for health info are 99.9% happy to see this.”)<\/p>\n
The issue of Health Affairs <\/em>that just crossed the wire includes an article by Carleen Hawn titled “Take Two Aspirin And Tweet Me In The Morning: How Twitter, Facebook, And Other Social Media Are Reshaping Health Care.<\/a>” I’m not a subscriber <\/p>\n So Health 2.0 makes it into Health Affairs and the definition used is @tedeytan’s. You know, this means war!<\/p>\n Of course Health 2.0 is called a “nebulous” concept. I’m reaching for the dictionary<\/p>\n And in reading the article I found the first mistake! American Well’s deal is with HMSA (Blues) not state of Hawaii<\/p>\n But overall it’s pretty good and a decent way to intro Health 2.0, or at least the physician communication part of it<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Here’s the abstract:<\/p>\n If you want a glimpse of what health care could look like a <\/sup>few years from now, consider “Hello Health,” the Brooklyn-based <\/sup>primary care practice that is fast becoming an emblem of modern <\/sup>medicine. A paperless, concierge practice that eschews the limitations <\/sup>of insurance-based medicine, Hello Health is popular and successful, <\/sup>largely because of the powerful and cost-effective communication <\/sup>tools it employs: Web-based social media. Indeed, across the <\/sup>health care industry, from large hospital networks to patient <\/sup>support groups, new media tools like weblogs, instant messaging <\/sup>platforms, video chat, and social networks are reengineering <\/sup>the way doctors and patients interact.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Anything that quotes Jay Parkinson and Ted Eytan perks my ears up. Especially if it garners only one nit-pick from Sir Matthew. (Especially good for a writer who’s new to healthcare.)<\/p>\n I’ve been dyin’ for ways to get the establishment to notice what’s happening in social media. Think this’ll do any good?
