Thursday, October 1, 2009. The Future of Health Management. In the sections to follow I'll describe how technology, the Internet and other communication media, do now and will continue to play a major role in the improvement of our health as individuals, and as a nation. Funding for such innovations will be briefly discussed because it is an important reality, and a current barrier in many situations, but does not have a major focus. Health Status of Americans. In the last nineteen years, many improvemen...

Health Informatics And People: Uses of 2nd Life in Dr-Patient Relationships
http://healthinfoandpeople.blogspot.com/2009/08/uses-of-2nd-life-in-dr-patient.html
Sunday, August 30, 2009. Uses of 2nd Life in Dr-Patient Relationships. Use of Second Life (SL) for Doctor - Patient Relationships. In an article “A Survey of Health Sites in SL”, several Second Life uses related to Healthcare are discussed – Education and Awareness, Support, Training, Marketing and Promotion of health services and Research. I can see that Second Life will be very useful in Patient-Provider relationships for expressing subjective symptoms such as hallucinations, but I can also see that it...

Health Informatics And People: Home Visits Coming Back? How about Tele-home visits!?
http://healthinfoandpeople.blogspot.com/2009/09/home-visits-coming-back-how-about-tele.html
Monday, September 21, 2009. Home Visits Coming Back? How about Tele-home visits! An exiting article aired on NPR Morning Edition today. I really do hope that home visits make a return to physician practice, but I'd like to see tele-home care become part of the model too. I'd like to see this taken a step further. It's great that the physician is visiting face to face, but I think it's the right time for tele-home care to finally open up! Please check out the radio program:. Health Informatics And People.

Health Informatics And People: Patient access to medical record
http://healthinfoandpeople.blogspot.com/2009/09/patient-access-to-medical-record.html
Monday, September 21, 2009. Patient access to medical record. Even though there are now laws to allow patients access to their medical records, it is not an easy task.

Personally I think it is a great idea:. Patients who are checking their records online are apt to be more involved in their care. The article is at NPR.org. Doctor-patient re...

Health Informatics And People: “Internet Addiction” is a symptom (?)
http://healthinfoandpeople.blogspot.com/2009/09/internet-addiction-is-symptom.html
Sunday, September 20, 2009. 8220;Internet Addiction” is a symptom (? While there is a valid tool (Widyanto L and McMurran M., 2004) to identify the problem, I don’t think it should have it’s own DSM-IV category, that is, it's own diagnostic category. The symptoms, (obsession with and compulsive use of the Internet) are only a manifestation of one of the many obsessive and or compulsive behaviors found in alcoholism, sex addiction, workaholism, drug addiction (really, any substance addiction or abuse).
