Traditionally, a “prescription” meant a piece of paper that got you a vial of pills or other medication you were meant to take until your next meeting with your doctor.
Today, health professionals increasingly recognize that LEARNING is part of the prescription -– if you want people to thrive with their condition, that is. The Health 2.0 conference I attended last week was all about different approaches to this topic: how do patients best learn to manage their chronic illness –- or if they have no conditions, how do they best learn to do what needs to be done to maintain their good health? The focal “great debate” at this event was –- * the Health 2.0 approach: patients independent use of interactive web technologies, - versus something called * Information Therapy: the practice of doctors prescribing and/or making available “evidence-based health information to meet individuals’ specific needs and support sound decision making” Both of these are useful and necessary if you ask me. Yipes! Pharma Marketing News Vol. 8, #4. VoIP Watch: The Doctor is In: New Presence 2.0 by Alec.
Pal Ken Camp called for the SpinDoctor, so I'm in...remember folks, iotum is a client. So bias is a natural but his post is a must read and one that has the other VoIP bloggers attention. So here's my SPIN on things: We're living in a world where just being online doesn't mean, "I'm available for you this way now. " As a matter of fact when I'm chatting with one person, or in a SightSpeed call with someone else, or taking a call which came in over Gizmo, or on my mobile phone, none of the other applications know I'm busy, so the audiences I'm "broadcasting" my availability to haven't any clue what I'm doing unless of course if I change the status on all the tools...NOT.
So what Alec is proposing is a clean up of the imperfect, immature and still evolving world of being presence in the context of being "public" without being "open" all the time when it comes to planned and unplanned real time communications.

HealthCamp on Blog Talk Radio On November 3rd at 12pm EDT. The HealthCamp "Repeater" The Future of HealthCamp. I am often asked what the future holds for HealthCamp. It is a really difficult question to answer because the future is not in my hands. Why do I say that? Because HealthCamp is about the participants. Every HealthCamp is different. My role is one of Chief Instigator. My next objective is to create the HealthCa.mp Foundation that can act as a catalyst for Health Camps around the world.
With that objective in mind I want to see HealthCamps spring up in different communities. The challenges we face in Health Care, regardless of where we are in the world, Are too complex, too enormous for any single entity to tackle alone. Many of the chronic health issues we face can be traced back to lifestyle choices that we each make. ....Sent from my iPhone comments Leave a comment...

Persona. The Health Care Blog: Cool Technology of the Week. By JOHN HALAMKA Before my trip to Japan, I attended the New England Healthcare Institute Medication Adherence Expert Roundtable on Thursday July 23rd, 2009. The purpose of the roundtable was to prioritize activities that would encourage patients to be more compliant with the medications, especially those with chronic diseases such as diabetes, congestive heart failure and COPD.
Recommendations from the group included better patient education, enhanced use of IT such as medication reconciliation, and healthcare reform which ensures clinicians have the time and incentives to coordinate and manage all medications for their patients. One technology that we discussed was an intelligent pill bottle for the home from rxvitality.com and it’s my cool technology of the week. Using technology similar to the Ambient Orb, the intelligent pill bottle flashes to indicate when it’s time to take the medication inside the bottle. That’s cool! John D.

HealthCampCT 2011 - HealthCa.mp. Don’t Ask Don’t Tell repeal is a big deal for the medical profession : The end of “if” Did your family doctor/pedatrician ask you when you were a kid, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” When you told her/him the answer did he/she say,”I’m sorry, you can only be a policeman/fireman/teacher/brigadier general ‘if’.”
I’m sure they didn’t – they were asking, like I would ask any patient, to tempt you with your future potential and begin a lifelong healing relationship, to be available to you as your parents would be, to help you achieve your life goals. The doctor patient relationship should be the last place where constraints are placed on a person’s achievement in health or in life. The repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell brings us closer to the end of “if,” as in “you can realize your life’s potential ‘if’ you are a…” man/white/heterosexual/etc etc. The medical school class after mine was the first one that had more women than men in it. The American Medical Association took a strong stand against Don’t Ask Don’t Tell . Similar Posts: Photo Friday: Love Always Wins.
