Health 2.0 — User Generated Healthcare

This presentation (pdf) was given by Matthew Holt at the MS-HUG Tech Forum, Feb. 24, at HIMSS08 in Orlando (all presentations are here).

It's too bad there's not a video available of the presentation. I'd love to hear a full explanation of the Mongolian Marxists and their relationship to healthcare IT.

There are five slides on PatientsLikeMe. This site and many of the related issues are well covered in the New York Times Magazine article last month called Practicing Patients.
