Most of the times when I read my RSS feeds I’m susprised by the amounts of post that are based on slogans, beliefs, wishes… but sometimes I’m surprised by the quality of some reflection. I would like to share Vince Kuraitis post entitled EHR 2.0: Thinking Outside the Cat Box. This post presents a number of innovative ways to conceptualize EHR 2.0:

* EHR as Platform + Applications
* EHR as Clinical Groupware
* EHR Integrated with PHR
* EHR as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
* EHR as a “Publish-Discover” Search Engine
* EHR + Disease Management Services = Care Coordination
* DRT-Enabled EHR

These innovative ways to conceptualize EHR 2.0 and Vince Kuraitis description perfectly fix with “A decade of ICT development in health care”. We may not forget that innovation is based on research not just in slogans, beliefs or wishes.

Yesterday I had my first experience in an interview done by Diario Médico, the leading healthcare online/print medium for healthcare professionals in Spanish, using Twitter. It was a nice experience of mediated conversation, with many questions from other twitter colleagues.

Here goes the list of the other people who have been Twitterwiev:

• Jennifer McCabe Gorman: “Prescribir no es suficiente para resolver nuestros problemas sanitarios”
• Anita Samarth: “Los médicos quieren colaborar con sus pares”
• Val Jones: “Los blogs son la forma de que los profesionales sanitarios hagan oír su voz”
• Enda Madden: “Los mejores médicos son también grandes comunicadores”
• Ted Eytan: “Hay que dejar participar a los pacientes y hacer que el sistema escuche sus preguntas”
• Jane Sarasohn-Kahn: “El sector sanitario ya entiende las nuevas tecnologías como una inversión estratégica”
• Alex Savic: “Los blogs médicos son una importante herramienta de educación del paciente”
• Bertalan Meskó: “El web 2.0 está lleno de peligros, pero hay formas de combatirlos”

Thank you very much to Diario Médico for give me the opportunity to join this great list of colleagues and cogratulations for using the new media.
