Recently, the physician technology publication MD Net Guide published the latest edition of my bi-monthly column, “Social Media Notebook.” For this edition, I
decided to relay my observations about the growing Health 2.0 "movement." One of the major themes coming out of the conference was that some wanted Health 2.0 companies to think about ways they could have a major impact on the health system’s many woes. I agree.
In my essay, I noted: “Competition is good and necessary, but Health 2.0 companies should be looking for ways to enter into mutually beneficial partnerships when possible. In addition, while there is a great debate about the future of the US health system, there has been very little conversation about how innovative entrepreneurs can inject themselves into the policymaking process. Marty Tenenbaum, creator of CommerceNet, has suggested that businesses in the Health 2.0 space come together to form a network that would achieve some of these goals.”
