Writings and upcoming events – July 2015

Like last month, here’s this month’s update on travels, events, and articles (including a first for me!).

In my travels if you’re in the area and want to connect, contact me.

Writings:

  • Big news: my first article as lead author in a medical journal (right)! (In the world of medical journals, being listed as the first author is a big deal.) Open Visit Notes: A Patient’s Perspective and Expanding National Experience, in the Journal of Oncology Practice, with Jan Walker RN MBA. Thank you to the OpenNotes team for managing this!
  • Do you use online symptom checkers? Go for it but be wise: Last Friday I was interviewed by the Boston Globe (see below) to comment on a new BMJ article. It was such a stimulating topic I wrote a much-mentioned post about it on e-patients.net, and I hope to be writing more
  • Amazing Ginny’s amazing knee surgery: my post last week has been updated with amazing new videos of her moving around.
    • That post has traveled: it got modified and posted on the much-read Glass Hospital blog, which was in turned picked up by the more-read MedPage Today update, and in turn caused a post about patient engagement on the Christ Church Charlotte nurse ministry blog.

This spring I had a couple of cases where people said “I wish I’d known you were coming – we could have had coffee!” (That’s always compelling to me…) So I’m going to try publishing a monthly update (more or less) of upcoming travels, newly added future events, and maybe a few other things. Short & sweet. Thank you to Casey Quinlan, a focused production machine if I ever saw one, for making this happen!

Underway now:

  • June 7-13, Lucerne, Switzerland: IKF’s annual Swiss tour. Multiple keynotes and private meetings.

Upcoming travels & webcasts

  • June 16-17, Chicago: NEHI’s National Healthcare Innovation Summit. Attending.
  • June 17, London (via web): The King’s Fund, Digital Health Days Congress. Speaker.
  • Link to come next week: June 26, 4:30 pm New York time, webcast: 20 minute speech “Being Heard as Possibility,” part of Rebel Jam, hosted by Rebels At Work, Corporate Rebels United and Change Agent Worldwide.
    • I love this group! I first learned about them from Helen Bevan in 2013 and blogged about this movement on Forbes: The “Organizational Radical” Movement Comes To Medicine
  • June 29, London:
    • Private corporate event
    • BMJ patient panel gathering

Recently added events (stay tuned for details!)

  • Early September: Europe (to be announced)

  • September 23-24: Medicine-X | Ed Bringing e-patient thinking to the medical education curriculum!

  • November 11, Sacramento: Transforming Healthcare Summit

    • Thank you to Beth Israel Deaconess OpenNotes team, and to the journal for making it open access.
