My Presentation on Web 2.0 in Healthcare to the Northern Ohio HIMSS
June 5, 2007
On Friday I presented at the conference of Northern Ohio Healthcare Information Management and Systems Society in Cleveland. The powerpoint is posted here. There was a positive response with lots of interest in hearing more. There is also an initiative to do more with SecondLife as the activity on the Cleveland Island grows. I am not a member yet, but probably will sign on soon.
The other presentations from the conference are worth checking out:
- Erica Drazen from FCG on Emerging Trends in Healthcare Information Technology
- Brad Chilton of University Hospitals of Cleveland on Infrastructure and Sourcing Strategies
- and two speakers on biotech innovation in Cleveland (presentations forthcoming) - a current hotbed for investment.
