As I did last month I am talking to Craig Joseph, MD (@CraigJoseph) Chief Medical Officer at Avaap. We talk about Open Notes which many people believe to be technology but is more a movement. We discuss the resistance and the challenge felt by some in the clinical profession with terminology that can seem insulting and in some cases difficult to comprehend. You can hear our thoughts on how to approach this and the importance of Patient Engagement which I have talked about many times on this blog and remind an avid supporter and quote Leonard Kish frequently
Patient Engagement is the Blockbuster Drug of the Century
We also discuss the big topic this month was the concern over the deal (Project Nightingale) that came to light between Ascension and Google. As I pointed out in Concerns with Patient Data Sharing – this was not really news, certainly not a secret and more of focus thanks to a media spotlight. Google did respond – late into the kerfuffle with one of their new Strategic Healthcare Hires – David Feinberg, MD posting this: Tools to help healthcare providers deliver better care. You can hear our thoughts on the issue of privacy of your data and why these deals are more common, and important to the future of healthcare than some realize
