Our town hall meeting was a great success – with 100 people in person and over 125 viewers online at one point!
Thanks to everyone for your help!
Community Hospital East will be hosting a live round table discussion today in partnership with change.gov. Watch it at townhall.eCommunity.com.
I heard of the concept at a conference presentation by scripps.org. The idea is that people will use their mobile phones to keep themselves from being bored while waiting in line, etc. And they will read or browse small bits of information like short news bites because their wait can be over very quickly and at any time. Short items are quick to read, easy to immediately put down and easy to pick back up.
We selected health news for these reasons. mobile.scripps.org uses news from their organization; we selected two health news feeds from Healthday. There are still some minor modifications that need to be made to these for the mobile site. The patient news tends to be longer than the physician news so it isn’t as readable on a mobile device. We will be making an adjustment to it soon.
The patient is the method of transport of clinical data between locations. The patient takes copies of lab orders, lab results, prescriptions, etc. between health care locations because the IT systems don’t talk to each other (that is if the locations are using IT systems like EMRs). Even locations within the same health care system.
Here is the copy of the presentation that I promised.
We have launched a new site design for Associates for Women’s Health. You can visit them online at www.afwhealth.com
