“Before we begin, Dave, I would like to provide readers with a bit of background. I first heard of you (as did many others who follow healthcare issues, especially questions touching on healthcare IT and healthcare information management matters) when the Boston Globe reported in April 2009 on the shock you got when, after transferring your medical records from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, you examined how those records were translated in the personal health record you were creating in Google Health. More on that brouhaha later in this interview. The key point for now is that that event thrust you into the forefront of the e-Patient, Health 2.0, consumer health and patient empowerment landscape. Indeed, so much so that you were asked by no less a personage than Gunther Eysenbach, who is generally credited with creating the Medicine 2.0 movement, to deliver the keynote at the recent Medicine 2.0 conference.”
