Progressive healthcare organizations have already caught the Internet wave

This is a quote from Bill Crounse, MD, of Microsoft reflecting on his recent experiences at internet conferences and tracking HIT trends. He notes the high expectations of consumers which have transformed other businesses beyond bricks and mortar. He cites leading institutions that are both payor and provider, like Group Health Cooperative which have also exploited the Internet.
On a related note, speaking of leadership, don’t miss the presentation by C. Martin Harris, MD, MBA, from the Cleveland Clinic at the HIMSS Virtual Conference next week on “eEnabled Medical Practice”. One of the leading forward-looking thinkers in Health IT, Dr. Harris will cover “office based work flow, clinical decision support, health maintenance management and protocol management.”

More health 2.0 search tools come on the market each month. Curehunter has an interesting spin for those interested in digging deep into evidence-based medicine on specific diseases. It presents search results which show the evidence for various treatments in a systematic hierarchy. Then a specific number of studies are citied. The research interface provides these in a folder format. It also provides the Network Graph which displays the topic graphically in a star diagram which relates your search topic with other topics.
Worth checking out for those who want a more detailed and scientific research of diseases, conditions and treatments.
