Open Source MD

Democratic Healthcare

Posted on: October 1, 2008

Just a short post, I am currently working on a big article that should be up within the next few days. Today, I read something interesting in the New York Times that reflected this concept of open source medicine and collaborative health care that I have been trying to define.

Patients aren’t learning from Web sites — they’re learning from each other. The shift is nothing less than “the democratization of health care”- The New York Times

They have a whole special edition on decoding our health and how information technology is playing a more and more important role. It’s a worthwhile read. Sorry, I couldn’t come up with anything more original today. Busy day at school, I guess it’s expected.
