You’re attending a healthcare conference and have one of those moments where something of real value to you was said. Or perhaps you’re attending one of these special unconferences that spur incredible creativity and innovating thought. In both cases, two issues often pop up. “I need to make some good notes of this”, and “more people should have been here right now to hear this stuff”. Just a short time ago, many of these in-the-moment ideas during these conferences were often strictly limited to the attending participants and closed to the public. It’s pretty safe to say that those ideas would have had a better chance of being profitable had the audience been greater and the conference more open.

The conference, of course, is the premier industry showcase where pharma and biotech companies get a chance to tout their pipelines and plans to analysts, fund managers and other investors. The reason for the protest is the “steep” price of Merck’s Isentress HIV/AIDS med, which last summer was approved as a first-line treatment for the disease. AHF says there is no justification for charging $12,868 retail price for each patient annually and the $8,000 charged to state-run AIDS Drug Assistance Programs, which the group maintains is three times more than other first-line med...

That’s why I was really interested in an email I got recently about a Healthcare New Media Marketing Conference that’s happening in Phoenix.  Here’s a look at the topics they’ll be covering: Utilization of online media to reach patients, community groups and special interest groups Healthcare Blogging Pros and Cons Podcasting for Health Care Systems Creating Patient Communities with Social Networking Sites Metrics: Proving the value of New Media VideoCasting:...

According to Shahid, one of the most outspoken proponents of FOSS in Healthcare, Fred Trotter, is one of the people behind the unconference. I’m not sure why they chose Houston for this conference. I think Las Vegas would have been a much better choice, but yes I am completely biased because I live in Las Vegas. All of that said, I love what Fred Trotter is trying to do and so I’m excited to promote those who are pushing for free emr and open source emr (see also our Open Source and Free EMR list on our wiki). You can go and register for the event at the incredibly reasonable rate of $60 if you ...

Sadly, I must say that we still have a long way to go in realizing the kind of Internet revolution in healthcare that Bill Gates evangelized in his October 5th, 2007, Wall Street Journal editorial.  I've been following how healthcare is using the Net for perhaps a dozen years or more.  During my keynotes I frequently show a slide o...
