Media mentions:
- The Center for Public Integrity published Obamacare research institute plans to spend $3.5 billion, but critics question its worth
- ComputerWeekly picked up my “don’t tell patients not to Google” message in a piece by Claire McDonald titled “Stop telling patients not to Google – one man’s quest for joined-up healthcare” – McDonald also talks about the NHS’s efforts to give patients better digital access to their data as part of an ongoing engagement effort. The idea is spreading!
- British Journal of Healthcare Computing (HIMSS Europe) Vox Pop posted a conversation with input from me, and from Rosamund Snow, Patient Editor at the BMJ, about the value that patients bring healthcare, and the ongoing efforts to build a sustainable framework for patient engagement.
