I attended a presentation last week put on by Paul Artiuch and Tim Warner of Don Tapscott’s group New Paradigm, talking about the most important trends in Web 2.0, and in eHealth in particular. Some of the content is proprietary to members, but most of it was reasoned opinion, pointers to interesting websites, and intriguing trends and observations from their research that I thought might be worth sharing with readers. If your organization is one of the collaborators in the New Paradigm IT & Competitive Advantage program, you might want to contact your organization’s representatives in the consortium, and get involved. What I like about them is their pragmatism ñ for example, they explain the value of social networking tools in a way that is accessible to senior executives and anticipates and addresses most executives’ lack of knowledge, common misconceptions and security/control fears about them. And they encourage multiple parallel small-scale experiments using these tools, in the context of addressing specific organizational problems, so that participating organizations can actually become leaders in the use of new technologies and ideas, instead of just abstractly understanding their potential. Here were, for me, the shareable highlights of the presentation:
New Paradigm is quite positive on social networking applications in organizations, especially internal applications within healthcare organizations (rather than aimed at the general public), and especially blogs, wikis, IM and social networking apps similar in approach and structure to Sermo, theStatus, and OrganizedWisdom. As mentioned in a previous post, if you’re interested in a summary of Tapscott’s book Wikinomics, it’s available free online as a 2-hour videopresentation here. Category: Industry-specific Innovation

My Other Sites
Thanks for this really interesting set of examples around web 2.0 and health care. Just picking up on one of your “big healthcare e-challenges”, in the UK we have set up Patient Opinion, a site where patients can come and rate the care they received – and also share their experience of care online for the benefit of others.Our focus is very much also on the idea of using these raw accounts of patient experience to help health services improve what they do, in big and small ways. So health care managers and clinicians can subscribe to the site, set up data feeds and get near real-time feedback filtered down to, for example, cardiology at their own hospital, or diabetes care across the region.Still very early days, we’re learning plenty, our traffic is building, and we are already getting examples of how hospitals are making changes in response to this feedback. So we think it can be done.
Hi, thanks for the wealth of information in your site. Hope you can check my website out and give a little feedback. Thanks again.RegardsKay
