Xconomy: A Cure for the Common Conference: HealthCamp Brings Consumer-Driven Health Care to Life
Summary
It’s happening again tomorrow at HealthCamp SFBay, a sold-out event at the Sidney R. Garfield Health Care Innovation Center in San Leandro, CA.The event had no set agenda and fewer PowerPoints than your typical conference, allowing everyone there to engage at their own pace and be a part of driving the conversation by contributing perspectives, ideas and experience.HealthCamp San Diego focused, in particular, on consumer-directed health care, a topic which is extremely broad and complex with deep roots in technology, policy, economics, behavioral shaping, and cultural change.We participated in sessions on how physicians can use Facebook, how cloud computing and open source systems will affect mobile health, and even discussed some apps that will revolutionize how we practice medicine.At Kaiser Permanente, it is part of our mission to provide high quality health care at an affordable cost and encourage healthy behaviors among all the communities we serve.
