I just heard a little bit of the phone conf. and look forward to hearing the entire archived podcast. Quite a bit I could say about social media uses and issues in the health care industry. Some of you may want to read my client Sutter blog at: http://suttermedicalcentercastrovalley.org/blog/ and follow @SutterEdenMed on Twitter to get an idea. We have other social network links from the blog, i.e. Facebook, LinkedIn, FriendFeed, Twitter, YouTube, MySpace. Thanks for doing this podcast! (I'm @CreativeSage on Twitter.)

thanks for putting this together guys.
Phil Baumann said:
thanks!
Phil Baumann said:
thank you
Sean Ammirati said:
ok, I'll pull you in
Sean Ammirati said:
ahh - good you're off now
Phil Baumann said:
I don't mind asking
Sean Ammirati said:
ok - do you want to ask it or do you want me to ask it for you?
Phil Baumann said:
Sean: yes
Sean Ammirati said:
@phil are you on mute on your end?
Sean Ammirati said:
Phil you are next I'm unmutting you now
Rafiq said:
we can learn a lot from healthcare for the masses in emerging markets...the non-specialist health field worker is playing a critical role in primary care
Phil Baumann said:
Jen: tech v/c startups may help. but overall I think the industry will have to see the benefits of these tools and the benefits of a strategy that incorporates them.
jenmccabegorman said:
Phil - great one! Recruit from outside? Pay attention to tech/VC/startups in other sectors?
Phil Baumann said:
Sean: Overall, there seems to be a huge technology-knowledge gap in healthcare. How do the entrepreneurs for health 2.0 plan to address this gap?
jenmccabegorman said:
also, legislative plans with PE Obama taking office, focus on universal care?
jenmccabegorman said:
Sean - for each company, to put Athena Health growth (30% next year) in perspective, what are their projected growth rates? (will they answer? :)
Phil Baumann said:
yes
Sean Ammirati said:
anyone want to ask a question?
jenmccabegorman said:
Imran - yes. Scary part is Uncle Sam is waking up with regard to Health IT, national EHR network, etc. If entrepreneurs don't build that platform (at least one that works) quickly, we'll be facing legislative onus as well.
Imran said:
or before the gov't at least
Imran said:
i agree with entrepreneurs bringing value and change before the healthcare industry
jenmccabegorman said:
overly simplistic, yes. But it is one concrete suggestion. I'd like to hear more.
jenmccabegorman said:
just focus on creation of DRGs that get docs *paid* to bring healthcare conversation online. Care transactions will follow.
jenmccabegorman said:
misalignment - form lobby. Get dollars, PAC. Go lobby CMS, reps etc. to incentivize online care provision by docs, NPs, etc (email, online chat, videochat, etc.) - create new DRG classifications for channels (online care, in person care, telehealth, mHealth, eHealth)
Sean Ammirati said:
If you have a mic / are on the phone and want to ask a question -- please 'raise your hand'
Phil Baumann said:
the healthcare industry will not only have to 'catch up' (by the time it catches up it will be behind): it will have to think ahead and probably will have to skip the steps that other industries have taken in the last 5-10 years.
Imran said:
yeah... @imsobe
jenmccabegorman said:
@Imran - are you on Twitter?
Imran said:
glad to hear an advocate for the user!
Sean Ammirati said:
@jen - what is your Twitter name?
jenmccabegorman said:
ps - livetweeting call
Sean Ammirati said:
Cathryn - please 'raise your hand' in the last 15 minutes and ask a question / share a comment!
Cathryn Hrudicka/Creative Sage(tm) said:
I'm sorry I didn't know about this in advance. I would love to have participated, since I'm doing social media for Sutter Health in California (along with a partner and some staff). Now is not a great time for me to do a call. Will this be archived?
jenmccabegorman said:
but information must be available first (cost, quality, safety, right now we still need the healthcare encyclopedia, and have just started to talk about what we're finding when we crack the spine)
jenmccabegorman said:
sharing, then transparency, then can incentivize behavioral change (both carrot and stick)
jenmccabegorman said:
so some companies on here are 2.0 by those terms (Tim Bernars-Lee), some are 3.0, etc.- 'behavior' influence comes in with community input
Sean Ammirati said:
@jen and @imran -- this is good I'll pull it in next
jenmccabegorman said:
Imran - good pt...health 1.0 = content, health 2.0 = content+community, health 3.0=content+community+commerce, health 4.0=content+community+commerce+coherence...information online is first step. Then communities form around sharing/rating, etc. of content.
Imran said:
It seems like the focus is on information... I wonder how Health 2.0 can be more about behavior?
jenmccabegorman said:
also, recruiting docs came up on Twitter this week - how do you do it (all callers) or how do you recommend HIT, eHealth, mHealth, Health 2.0 co's do it?
jenmccabegorman said:
athena health is tracking 30% growth for next year. Other companies on the call? Goals for 09?
John@chilmark said:
after getting those squared away, where are we headed wtih mHealth
John@chilmark said:
Is this a bubble set to implode? How will current credit crisis impact the market? where are we headed with regards to security and privacy, what about feds/pseudo feds (CCHIT) getting involved to set standards/certificating apps
Sean Ammirati said:
@John, what are you most interested in?
John@chilmark said:
that is a pretty simplistic question to start with - hope you ramp it up
Sean Ammirati said:
For those of you listening, please ask questions in the chat or raise your hand to ask a question in the last 15 minutes
Sean Ammirati said:
Again, please use the chat through out ... - Sean (RWW)
