Still more health 2.0
I keep getting notices of new interactive healthcare sites. Here’s a list of some recent entries. It is by no means exhaustive.
Wellness Professionals has released version 2.0 of Health Gateway, its Web-based care management platform for providers.
A Massachusetts General Hospital resident has joined with Harvard and MIT graduate students to start MedicalPlexus, a forum for academic medical professionals and students.
checkMD, a site billing itself as “the first social networking site fully committed to healthcare and healthcare reform,” launched a couple of weeks ago. Of course, I pull this phrase from the same media advisory that informed me that “The Institution of Medicine [sic] estimates that nearly 100,000 patients die in hospitals each year due to medical errors.” It also asked me to “please RSVP,” so I assume it was produced by the Department of Redundancy Department.
where do these people get the idea :)
I’m assuming you mean the idea for health 2.0, not the idea for telling a veteran healthcare journalist about the IOM report from 9 years ago, then butchering the name of the organization. ;)
