Scott Shreeve, The Health Care Blog, 7 November 2008
“Results of a study released today found that the use of online care for certain prescribed circumstances may result in first-dollar financial savings for employer-sponsored health plans. The Milliman study was authored by Arthur L. Wilmes, FSA, MAAA, principal & actuary at Milliman, an actuarial firm with a leading presence in the healthcare market. The analysis demonstrated potential medical savings of $3.36 and $6.95 per-member-per-month (PMPM) for commercial and Medicare plans, respectively. The study investigated the use of online care services similar to those in American Well’s Online Healthcare Marketplace System, which became commercially available earlier this year.”

“I’ve been preparing to write this announcement for months. Scienceroll is almost 2 years old and I thought it’s time to launch my online service. I’ve written hundreds and hundreds of posts about the impact of web 2.0 on medicine, healthcare, medical education and communication. I’m always saying e-patients would change the way medicine is practiced and healthcare is delivered. And physicians of the 21st century must be qualified to meet their expectations.”

“The internet has the power to be the greatest single force for good in history, the capacity to enable each of us to learn about people, places and events that were previously unimaginable. Daily, billions of people use this remarkable resource to communicate, conduct business, buy and sell goods and services. It’s hard to remember what daily life was like before the internet and equally to imagine life without it. However, surely, with this capacity comes responsibility.
How many of us would routinely invite fraudsters, thieves, pornographers, paedophiles, criminal gangs, terrorists and the like, into our homes? All of these inhabit the dark recesses of the internet and, every time we log on, we risk coming across them. While conducting The Counterfeiting Superhighway research, the EAASM encountered some extremely unscrupulous internet traders. To my mind, they are among the worst type of online predator, and are totally uncaring for their target. They don’t spare a second’s thought for the health and welfare of their ‘customer.’ They don’t care if the customer (potentially every one of us) lives or dies, gets well or manages an illness. These criminals (and that’s exactly what they are) are the manufacturers and purveyors of counterfeit medicines, and their activities pose a significant global threat to public health today.”
Report
European Alliance for Access to Safe Medicines, July 2008
“Over 60% of medicines purchased online are fake and could potentially be lethal for vulnerable patients, says a new report by the European Alliance for Access to Safe Medicines (EAASM).
In a study of over 100 online pharmacies selling 30 commonly purchased prescription-only medicines, the alliance found that 62% of the medicines were counterfeit and 95.6% of the online pharmacies were operating illegally. Most sold medicines without a prescription that would normally be needed for the drugs.”

“Last summer, Terri Harlow faced a decision between two types of follow-up treatments for breast cancer: the standard, six-week-long whole-breast radiation, or a newer, one-week option called MammoSite radiation.
Harlow turned to the renowned Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston for a second opinion. “I tried to cover every base,” she says.
But Harlow, 60, decided not to travel to Boston from where she lives in West Chester, Pa. She discovered that by submitting her medical records through a service called Partners Online Specialty Consultations (POSC), she could obtain a second opinion from a top specialist without leaving home.”

Article
eHealthNews.eu, 12 April 2008
“This week, the LA Times has an interesting article on how major insurers Cigna and Aetna will be reimbursing physicians for providing online consultations. Encouraging to see these major payers step-up and support such practices. Other payers will likely follow as this could become a key service differentiator that would be attractive not only to just patients and physicians, but more importantly to these payer’s their customers - the employers.”
