Health 2.0, Boston, Spring 09

Pre-Conference Health 2.0 Accelerator Meeting

RSVP HERE

Whittier Room (4th Floor)

Pre-conference meeting in the morning before the Health 2.0 Conference gets underway. The agenda will feature a presentation by Matt Quinn of AHRQ and introduction of a new H2A program relationship, as well as updates on initiatives, pilots and projects. We'll also have discussions about budding efforts from our members focused on croudsourcing provider reviews and web services for lookup of drug identifier codes and namespaces.

Deep Dive: Health 2.0 Advisors

Health 2.0 could be the most dynamic, potentially important and complex trend to emerge in the health care marketplace in recent decades. With ramifications for patient care communities, health care transactions, and knowledge/data-driven decision support, Health 2.0 will infuse health care with unprecedented levels of information. We are already seeing dramatic consequences impacting every existing health care professional and organization, which should merit strategic consideration by every organization entertaining health care interests.

Last Fall we debuted a new consultancy, Health 2.0 Advisors, which brings together four professionals with deep experience in this space, each with a national presence: Matthew Holt, Jane Sarasohn-Kahn, Michael Millenson and Brian Klepper.

Today, you’ll see a deep dive which reveals a first look at Health 2.0 Advisors’ research. You can expect:

The latest, most comprehensive analysis of the evolution of Health 2.0. The major delineation of functional application classes within Health
2.0, including consumer and business focused application.

A new way to think about the evolution of the Health 2.0 market,
Health 2.0 Advisors is rolling out an exclusive and proprietary client
advisory service, but you can see the first analysis as part of the
pre-conference Deep Dive. You won’t want to miss this.

**THIS REQUIRES A SEPARATE REGISTRATION AND IS CURRENTLY FULL

Deep Dive: Myca/Hello Health

Immediately after the first look at Health 2.0 Advisors, we’re having a deep dive from one of the most eagerly anticipated new product releases ever in Health 2.0. In 2008 MyCa got together with fee-nom young physician Jay Parkinson. The result was a new software offering and the launch of Hello Health, a new type of physician clinic which integrated the tools of Web 2.0 into the patient-physician relationship.

April 22 will be the launch of the new version of MyCa’s platform which links patients with physicians, patients wth each other, and connects care providers. And it does it in one of the most interesting and intuitive approaches that we’ve seen.

There’s been lots of talk about “clinical groupware” and “Facebook for Healthcare”, but this might well be the first real example of taking the power of social networking and social media and applying it to the clinical setting.

Come see the team from Myca & Hello Health show you how they believe their new technology will revolutionize the health care experience, no matter what your place in the health care spectrum.

Introduction: Health 2.0 Meets Ix

Josh Seidman, President, Center for Information Therapy
Indu Subaiya & Matthew Holt, Co-Founders, Health 2.0

The Opening Great Debate: Ix and Health 2.0 - Synergies or Tensions?

Sponsored by

There are great similarities between the Health 2.0 and the Information Therapy movements. At their core both are about the distribution and consumption of information in health care, and about the translation of that information into action. But there are also tensions too, and this opening session will ask whether Health 2.0 & Ix are really two sides of the same coin.

Lead Keynote:
Don Kemper, CEO, Healthwise
"Health 2.0 kisses Ix"

Dissenting view from:
Matthew Holt, Co-Founder Health, 2.0

Commentary from Alan Greene (drgreene.com & A.D.A.M.), Gilles Frydman (ACOR), Ted Eytan (Kaiser Permanente),  Amy Tenderich (DiabetesMine) and a summary/rebuttal from Don Kemper & Matthew Holt.
Moderator: Jane Sarasohn-Kahn, Think-Health & Health 2.0 Advisors

Demonstrations from: Pro-Change Behavior Systems, Sensei, Inspire & HealthMedia

Networking break in Exhibit Hall, or catch a sponsored "Deep Dive" from MedEncentive...

The afternoon Deep Dive is from MedEncentive. If you haven’t seen MedEncentive, you’re in for a treat. If you know about this creative program, you will be impressed with their latest market results and newest products.

MedEncentive is the only cost containment solution that rewards both doctors and patients in a fashion that creates “mutual accountability.” This unique web-based program is being hailed by experts as the missing link between pay-for-performance, value-based benefit design, wellness and care management.

For nearly five years, MedEncentive has been using financial incentives to recruit patients and their doctors to use Health 2.0 tools to dispense information therapy. In the process, MedEncentive creates innovative checks and balances that inspire doctors and patients to encourage and challenge each other to do better and be healthier. This results in substantial savings for employer/insurer, thus aligning the interests of the consumer, provider and payer unlike any other solution.

If you think this sounds like a really cool idea, then come see the demonstration and meet Jeff Greene and the rest of the MedEncentive team as they reveal the data from their extended market studies and introduce their newest products.

Great Debate #2: Building Health 2.0 into the Delivery System

Sponsored by

Ix has been long associated with some of the leading integrated delivery systems in the US. But many participants in Health 2.0 have had at the least an ambivalent attitude to provider- side initiatives. And of course there is not a clear single type of “delivery system.” We’ll have four top leaders from different segments of the delivery system present their contrasting views of what Building Health 2.0 into the Delivery System means.

• Integrated system -- James Hereford, Group Health Cooperative

• Academic medical center -- John Halamka, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center

• Start up consumer clinic -- Rushika Fernandopulle, Renaissance Health

• Community physician practice -- Don Caruso, Dartmouth Hitchcock-Keene Clinic

• Moderator: Scott Shreeve, CrossOver Health

Demonstrations from: Myca/Hello Health, Kaiser Permanente HealthConnect & Google Health

Health 2.0 Meets Ix Night out Reception

This will be a fun & fancy night out--we’ll see if Beantown can rival the luxurious feel of the San Diego skyline in 2008. We’ll be surveying the town from the top of the Prudential Tower, where you can come and mingle with hundreds of your best friends. Our friends at Kaiser Permanente are providing the victuals, and there’ll be several special surprises!
Volunteers will be guiding people on the 15-minute walk from the hotel starting at about 6:45.

Breakfast

Introduction to Day 2: Will Stimulus Legislation Unleash Consumer Engagement in Health Care?

Susan Dentzer will have a conversation with Neil Calman about his views on the potential for the HIT provisions of the recently passed American Recovery & Reinvestment Act to drive consumer engagement in health care. What elements remain to be defined that could steer ARRA implementation toward a more consumer-facing HIT orientation?

Great Debate #3: What's the Future Role of the Doctor?

Sponsored by

Special Movie Presentation: The 2.0 Generation of Doctors

Technology is changing the potential role of the physician, and stratifying what the doctor of the future can and might do. So does the rise of Ix mean that physicians are captains of a wider care team, or does the rise of Health 2.0 mean that doctors will find that their role in patient care is increasingly marginalized?

Debating that point
Paul Wallace, Kaiser Permanente & Chairman, Ix Center Board of Directors
vs.
Jamie Heywood, Chairman, PatientsLikeMe
Moderator: Indu Subaiya, who'll be introducing the premier of a new video "The Future Doctor" starring some very exceptional young physicians-to-be

Plus commentary from Danny Sands (Cisco & BIDMC), Susan Edgman-Levitan (Mass General Stoeckle Center), Jay Parkinson, (Hello Health) & Roy Schoenberg (American Well), Win Hodges (patient advocate). Followed by conclusions and rebuttals from the debaters.

Demonstrations from: UpToDate, Healia & Connected Health

Networking break & catch a sponsored "Deep Dive" from Philips...

At Philips, when we envision the future, we listen to the people who’ll live in it. We listen to doctors who need to go beyond the limitations of medicine. Beyond data-rich images to intelligent tools, grounded in patient insights. We listen to those who use and who benefit from our technology. And we find out what they need.

By sharing these insights, we accomplish more than we could alone. Working together is part of our design.

Please join us in a deep dive to continue the conversation to ensure that the future of healthcare is truly “People focused. Healthcare simplified.

Great Debate #4: Navigating the New Health Care Delivery System

Special MOVIE INTRO: "Hey Doc, We Need to Talk"
from Silicon Valley design firm IDEO
This short video follows the frustrations and successes of an expectant mother, a cancer survivor, and a diabetes patient as they use connected tools to navigate their healthcare.

The role of technology is changing how patients navigate their health care experience. In some ways we’re seeing the tension between information democratization and information overdose. There are at least two segments to this issue:

Part I: Guidance on health information:
What will be the role of Info-mediaries? Will information be best mediated by humans, purely by automated technology, or some kind of a mix?

Introduction/Moderation by Josh Seidman

Special presentation from Susannah Fox, Pew Internet & American Life Project.

Demonstrations from: WeGo Health, Healthline & Healthfinder.gov

Part II: Guidance & Navigation around the healthcare system:
How will consumers’ paths through the health care delivery system be facilitated by technology? Will larger health care organizations (or plans or employers?) help patients navigate the system and perhaps impose requirements and restrictions on them? Will the role of the patient advocate truly emerge, and who will perform it? Or will patients and consumers remain left alone to fend for themselves as they mostly are now?

Debate between
Michael Parkinson (ex-Chief Medical Officer, Lumenos)
&
"ePatient" Dave deBronkart (Blogger, The New Life of ePatient Dave)

Commentary from Arna Ionescu, IDEO & Alexandra Drane, Eliza

Demonstrations from: A.D.A.M., Mayo Clinic/Microsoft Healthvault & bWell

Pre-Lunch: Health 2.0 Accelerator Update, from Julie Murchinson, Executive Director

At the start of 2009, the Health 2.0 Accelerator became a formal non-profit industry consortium, focusing on promoting innovation and collaboration among Health 2.0 companies, and better understanding of the potential that Health 2.0 brings to improve consumers’ health and their experience with the healthcare system.

Lunch

At lunch, we will present a variety of options for the Health 2.0 and Ix communities. You can take your pick from attending the popular Unconference, stopping by the exhibit hall, seeing another edition of Launch! and/or attending an update meeting of the Health 2.0 Accelerator

Launch! Presentations from Healogica, Trial X, Livestrong, Frontline SMS:Medic, Current.MD, Living Profiles, MindSite, & Change:healthcare

Post-Lunch: The Ix Troubadour, Tom Chelston

Tom will welcome you back from lunch.

Great Debate #5: "User-generated content vs. Expert": What's the best approach to Knowledge Creation?

User-generated content, especially when created mostly by those with little formal training, has been regarded with deep suspicion by many. But now the concept is taking hold that the crowd itself has wisdom beyond that of its members, and that might be superior to that of any expert or experts. Two leaders with extremely strong view points will debate whether and if user-generated content, crowdsourcing and other ways of surfacing content are appropriate for creating and verifying health information. And what does this mean for the traditional roles of clinical trials and evidence-based medicine? This one will be a real barn-burner, we promise you!

Debating that point
Denise Basow, UpToDate
vs.
Dan Hoch, BrainTalk
Introduction & Moderation: Josh Seidman, Center for Ix

Plus commentary from Jerry Kane (Boston College), followed by rebuttals and conclusions from the debaters

Demonstrations from: CureTogether, Healthwise & AskDr.Wiki

Networking Break and Deep Dive from OptumHealth

At the Fall 2008 Health 2.0 Conference, Optum, the subsidiary of the giant health services conglomerate, UnitedHealth Group, launched the comprehensive consumer website, myOptumHealth.
