“Over at the e-patients blog, John Grohol has some criticisms of information therapy (Ix) and Health 2.0, particularly with respect to the joint post that I did with Matthew Holt and Indu Subaiya last week on this blog, The Health Care Blog, and the Health Affairs Blog. Grohol seems concerned that broadening the definition of Ix and Health 2.0 render them less meaningful.
It’s a fair criticism in many ways. In fact, that is why the Center for Information Therapy (IxCenter) and its IxAction Alliance have invested so much energy in developing formal definitions, which have been adopted by URAC for their disease management standards and integrated into the National Business Coalition on Health eValue8 purchaser RFI for health plans.”
