e-patient
Winston ER et al, Computers in Human Behavior, 2012
Decreasing revenues and increasing expenses has led many healthcare organizations to adopt newer technological applications in order to address the informational needs of their patients. One such adoption technique is to develop a more robust e-patient environment. Health care organizations may increase their effectiveness in meeting the needs of a growing e-patient population through the implementation of high-quality social networking applications such as Twitter. These applications may help to support and maintain a valuable and informed community.

“Studies show online support groups foster positive health outcomes, including escalating good, healthy habits. People are much more likely to achieve their health goals when paired-up with others who have similar goals. Healthy habits, such as eating right, sharing best practices and exercising, can truly go viral if the proper networks are established for the right information to be passed on.

“We often say here “Gimme my damn data,” referring to our sentiment that data about our health is our data, about us, created for our well-being. And as the saying goes, “Nothing about me without me.”

“I help build open source software tools that patients can use to have greater control and influence over their own healthcare (like the Direct Project and Your Doctors Advice). As as result, I’ve become quite familiar with other tools that do the same sorts of things. There is a community of patients who are deeply interested in the ways in which they can become more engaged and how they can specifically use technology to achieve this. This community calls themselves epatients. The epatient community asked me to write a short collection of resources for “becoming an epatient.”

“What a rocket ride it’s been for Xeni. Tuesday morning we reported on the BoingBoing co-editor’s unexpected breast cancer diagnosis 12/9, and her odyssey reading her scan data. (CDs didn’t come with software; in a few hours with Twitter help she’d downloaded OsiriX and was pushing her way through it.)

“Internet a dans le domaine de la santé, trouvé toute son efficacité, auprès de ceux qui au départ n’avaient pas ou peu de moyens de s’informer sur un traitement, des symptômes, ou plus généralement concernant l’actualité médicale.
Par le biais des espaces de discussions que peuvent être les forums ou les blogs, le web et vite devenu le « compagnon » du grand public pour les questions de santé.
En effet, 7 jours sur 7, 24 heures sur 24, il permet à chacun de répondre à un manque d’information, à une inquiétude liée à l’accompagnement d’un proche, ou même pour trouver quelque réconfort face à une maladie.
Puis de la recherche d’information, on est vite passé au besoin de s’exprimer, d’échanger ses craintes et ses espoirs, voir ses opinions sur les traitements prescrits et les diagnostics.”

“Query Health” may sound like a consumer health information tool, but it’s not. Announced this week (GovHealthIT story) by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC), it’s a new initiative which plans to make clinical information available to researchers nationally, to study population health. The project charter is here.

“Sometimes when I write about social media in healthcare I imagine a make-believe healthcare technology purist that I’ve conjured up rolling her eyes at me. She scoffs at my adding to the zettabytes of digital data on one of the more “softball” technology topics. What does social media have to do with “real” healthcare technology anyway? I should be using alpha-numeric acronyms and drawing IT diagrams with lots of arrows of varying size. This is healthcare technology, after all. There are more important things to write about than social media, right?

“Dave deBronkart, or better known as “e-Patient Dave” (@epatientdave) was diagnosed in January 2007 with kidney cancer at a very late stage. odds were stacked against him; with tumors in both lungs, several bones, and muscle tissue. He received great treatment and after removing the extensive mess, and by means of therapy was able to fight through and win the battle over his cancer. His last treatment was July 23, 2007, and by September it was clear he’d beaten the disease. Dave is now actively engaged in opening health care information directly to patients on an unprecedented level, thus creating a new dynamic in how information is delivered, accessed and used by the patient.”

Patient organizations aim to improve the quality of life for people and their families who are affected by certain health conditions. Even though there has been a sharp rise in the demands on health systems during the last few decades, these systems have benefited from technological advances and the increasingly active role of users in managing their own health. The authors look at the evolution of patient associations into virtual health communities as a logical step in the development of communities of patients, families, and professionals who benefit from Web 2.0, and how it meets their needs regarding obtaining and sharing information, social support, and building relationships.
