Cleveland Clinic and Medicine 2.0
September 4, 2008
Here at the Medicine 2.0 Conference, I have been asked how the Cleveland Clinic is using Web 2.0. Some examples are in my slides on slideshare.net. But here is a list with links:
- AskDrWiki.com – started by two cardiology fellows, not officially sanctioned
- Clinical Case and Images blog – begun by a hospitalist who has moved on from the Clinic
- Google Health – Cleveland Clinic was the pilot site and one of the first partners
- Walk for Good- a Google Gadget
- CEO blog – as an internal communication tool only
- Other un-official blogs like mine
- Use of Sharepoint for collaboration – it can be debated whether SharePoint is Web 2.0 since it is not open source but it is widely used and encourages collaboration.
I will add more examples from time-to-time.
