One of the many issues of such a model is that doctors don't have an incentive to share the data they created, even worse, they may deliver evidence to patients who are going to sue them. I really support the idea of empowered patients, but many physicians will see them as professional threat. Of course there will be physicians who support the idea and collaborate with patients, but they will probably stay a minority. So what can we give physicians in return for their data? Alex Dear Dave,

I debated whether to post it here or there (the Society's blog) and decided it's germane to the broader participatory medicine audience. Dave, over the weekend I posted on e-patients.net about a new poster that was shown last week at the ICSI / IHI Colloquium. Safety net populations do benefit from online PHRs.

Included are the poster (PDF) and a short video with the poster’s author.

I debated whether to post it here or there (the Society’s blog) and decided it’s germane to the broader participatory medicine audience.

I got a lot out of it, but I did have one big question at the end. When you got the initial diagnosis, you went into research mode in a big way, which is admirable. But I thought, "This guy's an MIT grad, he's obviously smart, and he's got top-notch research and communications skills." Same thing with the other presenter that day--smart, well educated, organized, great communicator. My question is this--what about folks who lack those advantages? Do you know if there are resources/recommendations for institutions that want to empower e-patients who might not be self-starters? I just ordered "Laugh, Sing, Eat Like a Pig." Might find the answers there. Thanks again for the talk! Dave Ekrem (opinions are my own, of course) Hi Dave,
