We had another great Virtual Town Hall this evening and I thank those who joined us. Innovation and creativity are more often found at the margins than at the hub. Our Town Halls are good examples and tonight was a great example. Lots of enthusiasm and ...

Thanks for sharing! The interesting (puzzling) thing about this article is that it makes no mention of the FTC guidelines that patient influencers are required to follow which requires them to disclose any financial relationship that is associated with ...

On October 24, we had the privilege of having Joe Ternullo speak at a New England HIMSS Student Networking Event. Joe spoke about the role of health informatics in participatory medicine, and he gave me permission to share a recording of his presentation ...

HI Danny, That is extremely helpful - thank you so much! I will look into Connected Health. Was supposed to attend Health 2.0 in September to speak but had to pull out due to a family issue last minute but hope to go this coming year. Thanks again, ...

Thank you. This is extremely helpful. Peter ------Original Message------ Hi John and Moses, John, I did text you offline. Good question about  strengths and weaknesses I experienced beyond speed to market as a strength for the Amazon platform and/or ...

My problem with single payer is that it does not go far enough.  For profit hospitals and clinics as well as big pharma will still be running the show which means our tax dollars will be subsidizing private corporations.  We need to take the healthcare ...

Be sure to address not just prostate cancer related deaths but all-cause mortality.  I have an intervention that is 100% effective at preventing deaths from prostate cancer: kill the patient the instant the diagnosis is made. No more deaths from prostate ...

I went to the site and tried the patient engagement measurement tool. I scored a 69-"activated, confident." I would have scored higher if I'd chosen to answer a couple of questions differently, I'm sure. But I couldn't. They struck me as being ...

SPM members (particularly those in the USA) may find this large scale disparity a good framework for solution cooperation. Market driven reform that makes universal insurance coverage tertiary to the patient+physician+clinician+health professional+layperson ...

What's everyone's thoughts on this platform called Medmij (corrected to one “j” - cannot edit the title spelling) for developing patient-centric apps?  (Hat tip to @Dave deBronkart for this tidbit - what do you think, @Brennen Hodge ?  https://twitter.com/herkocoomans/status/1062696701176307719?s=21 ...

Geri, this is an amazing story about the power - and effectiveness - of caregivers contributing to care.  Attaching the paper here, since it is open access.. I hope they are doing a prospective study, and including other outcomes; PCORI would love if ...

Hi Dave, You made me laugh about the JAMA. On  a related note, I just wrote a book on the waiting experience and I was trying to submit a potential blog to Participatory Medicine and a number of the links are broken. You seem pretty engaged in the community ...

Yes, it's not always published where you might think or labeled as a patient engagement study. For example, the studies I was involved in were often published in GI journals. I believe that Stan Hudson did some work on the health literacy side to collect. ...

Yes, great news, Talya!  When I've worked with pharma (or anyone else for that matter) I've found that a significant source of disconnect can be lack of coherent definition(s) of what they MEAN by patient engagement.  This leads to all KINDS of misunderstandings, ...

Thanks to @Cathy Bandy for posting about this in our Lounge section.  I want to spotlight it here in Open Forum, but I'll "lock" this message to direct any further discussion to her original thread over there .  (Click that link, to discuss) ___________ ...

Someone recently shared this with me and I thought I'd share it with the group. I don't know anything more than what you see below. Note: Deadline is Nov 15. === The Building Healthcare Collectives Project team is delighted to announce our newly launched ...

Thanks Ellen and Dave for the clarification. I will apply and see what happens. I was not actually looking for an SMP endorsement but simply some level of insight into how the process is weighted and the value of making the effort. You all have answered ...

Most of us won't be surprised by the results of this survey by JAMA re difficulties in getting medical records from hospitals in a timely manner.  The story is so relevant to the SPM conference -- and a topic to consider for the manifesto to be created ...
