All this discussion of what we as patients, advocates, and healthcare entrepreneurs is great but if we never engage the Providers, we are only talking to ourselves. I propose we assemble 5-7 providers and pose 5 questions in a panel format.
Questions for the Panel:
1. Internet 1.0 - How has the availability of online medical information affected your practice?
2. Patient Prosumers - What is your response to the patient who has learned a great deal of information about their possible or actual conditions - when they are right, and when they are wrong?
3. EHRs and Meaningful Use - Have you implemented an EHR and how has it changed the way you practice medicine? Has it affected follow-up or overal patient care? Do you integrate with online PHRs like HealthVault or Google Health?
4. HCR - How has the health care reform bill changed the way you think about the future of medicine?
5. The Future and How You Fit In - Where do you see the evolution of patient care going and how do you intend to be a part of it?
We need Physician Thought Leader Panelists. Please apply by emailing your info to health20nyc (at) gmail.com.
