FastCompany 3-22-10: The Future of Health Care Is Social

This page will capture eHealth resources, posts, links, ideas, tweets that I have captured along the way. It has taken us this long to get here. So here we are!

I will be at the SXSH.ORG (the social health unConference) on Thursday March 11, [LIVE NOW] in Austin Texas. If you can't be there, be sure and check for the twitter hash tag #sxsh. I'm sure there will be a boatload of folks tweeting during the conference. That is if the wireless holds up. (grin) Here is the IAMACONNECTOR site with all the contact information from #sxsh

UPDATE: John McElhenney is interviewed by Sitewire and discusses the geo-locating eHealth opportunity.

WOW-Recent eHealth Quotes:

In the past few weeks, I’ve had the same question from a few different people, so I figured I’d try to answer it here as well. It’s deceptively simple question, but one that has a few marketing traps which anyone could fall into. Here’s the basic question…I’ll paraphrase:
“We have this new drug coming out that’s not yet approved, how can we use social media to build awareness for it prior to launch?”
Short answer: you can’t.
From: Ockham’s Razor Meets Pharma Marketing

The Lucian Leape Institute at the National Patient Safety Foundation released today a report that finds that U.S. “medical schools are not doing an adequate job of facilitating student understanding of basic knowledge and the development of skills required for the provision of safe patient care.”
From: Med Schools are falling short in teaching how to provide SAFE patient care [study results]

Tweets that opened my eyes just a little bit wider:

@jeremywright: Any way to find shortest ER wait times @ downtown hospitals?!!!
