April 5, 2009
Saturday I participated in the Payer Symposium. I presented on the Digital Consumer with Peter Mills who presented on health promotion in Second Life. Slide handout is here, I was impressed, particularly in the panel which wrapped up the day: there was alot of discussion on the best approach to interoperability, meaningful use of EMRs, and medical home. The evidence for the effectiveness of medical home in promoting health, particularly the basic relationship with a single primary care medical provider. More on this later.
