Our own Ben Dillon and long-time client and patient portal advocate, Ken Croken, of Genesis Health System, teamed up recently to discuss patient-centric websites, and landed the cover of the Society for Healthcare Strategy and Market Development’s (SHSMD) member newsletter, Spectrum.
Ben and Ken are no strangers to discussing patient portals together, having co-presented last year at H.S.I.’s Healthcare Internet Conference and slated to appear at SHSMD’s 2010 annual conference this fall. The reason their knowledge is so sought-after? While ... Read More >>

I’ve been following a very interesting online discussion about providing patients with access to their health data. The initial spark for this debate came from a post on the RegisterPatient.com blog touting the benefits of patient access to their medical records. Discussion, while generally supportive of the idea was mixed. An even more intense conversation about the blog has emerged in the Health 2.0 group in LinkedIn.
A recent New England Journal of Medicine article points out some clinicians are uncomfortable ... Read More >>

Every month Geonetric distributes Webinars and eNewsletter articles on timely topics in eHealth. And if you’re like me, your to-do list just doesn’t allow you to catch as many Webinars and read as many articles as you want.
That’s why we’ve compiled our “Best of 2009” – a list of the top-attended and top-downloaded Webinars and articles from 2009. The Webinars are available for you to listen to in your downtime… maybe this week while the office is half-empty, you can ... Read More >>

Some years ago, during a seminar that I was giving to a group of senior hospital marketing executives, I was approached by a Marketing Vice President for a hospital in New England. She told me that her life’s goal was to have her department viewed as a profit center for the hospital rather than a cost center. She was attending the seminar because she believed that the Internet was going to be the way to get there.

We’ve recently launched our new survey – eHealth Insights. In past years, Geonetric has run a huge annual survey for collecting data from online professionals in the healthcare industry. Unfortunately, with the industry changing as fast as it does, our insights began to feel dated before we got our results out the door.
eHealth Insights surveys are very short (less than 5 minutes to complete). We will conduct them several times throughout the year so we can hit topical items and get actionable information ... Read More >>
At HIMSS, I had the opportunity to co-host a panel discussion on Health 2.0 as a co-chair of the e-Health Special Interest Group. We were blessed with an incredible panel:
Khaled Hassounah, MedHelp (http://www.medhelp.org/)
Matthew Holt, (http://www.health2con.com/) and (http://www.thehealthcareblog.com/)
Julie Murchinson, (http://www.health2accelerator.org) and
Jane Sarasohn-Kahn, THINK-Health (http://www.think-health.com/)
And an incredible group of attendees, leading to some truly fascinating discussion. What follows is a short summary of what I heard in that discussion.

So much of what is done in the eHealth space has a fuzzy value proposition attached to it. One of the recurring themes that I hear for healthcare providers and many healthcare vendors is that they are trying to empower health consumers (or patients). It’s a theme that’s receiving attention from a great many sources – the government, insurers and employers.

Redbook has been magically appearing in my home mailbox over the past year. I don’t usually have much time to read non-work related material but on a recent flight home from Las Vegas, where I had the opportunity to attend the Customer Based Marketing for Healthcare Strategists conference, I was afforded some quality magazine time.
In the January 09 issue, Redbook identified the Hottest Health Trends for 09. Number seven on their hot list was ... Read More >>
