Thanks for the post. Have you come to any conclusions since the writing of this article? I am looking to deploy OpenVista in a similar fashion, and was hoping to leverage some of your experiences.

Thanks!

Great presentation John. Wondering if you've found any rural hospitals (or other rural health care organizations) who are really engaging using these tools? I'm working on putting together a panel for the Washington State Hospital Association's rural hospital conference this summer and would love your thoughts.

I have received an invitation to Google Wave preview today. I suppose this is will get better in the future. Coming from Google it will work in the end. I checked the video and I have to say the idea is great. Not for the isolated kind of guy but perfect to share, to plan, to post mutual stuff like photos, to work and chat in real time. I would say it still needs some final touch, people. By the way, John, I noticed that your wonderful site looks a lot like my modest one. It must be the thesis template. I think I'll come here often for inspiration and learning. Thanks!

@deanw - glad you liked post, and I hope you score that invite soon; sadly I've handed out my allotment. You sound like a great source for feedback and promotion for the product, so Google would be well served by sending you one!

@Joshanderson - thanks for the tip on another resource for collaborative virtual workspaces.

Thanks for your informative post!
If you happen to have a spare Wave invitation available (to send me), I'd be very interested in testing out the service and waving with you. I'm a technical writer and patent agent, and am interested in what this newest google technology can do...particularly anything related to Google Voice....

Re: Rural Medicine – serving more, with less, over huge distances

John Eich — Wed, 27 May 2009 23:23:20 -0000

Excellent program you all have in Iowa, Mike. As you point out, we have to start thinking of long-term system improvements to address the workforce issue.

And beyond the system needs, we're seeing that the opportunity to point one's medical education in a direction seems to be very satisfying for the students. There's been a tremendous response from medical students in the Wisconsin Academy of Rural Medicine (WARM), here at the University of Wisconsin's School of Medicine and Public Health. It's a passionate bunch of future rural docs.

Along with increasing the supply of physicians, we must also look at alternate service-delivery models - telemedicine, non-physician primary care providers and even utilizing advanced EMS providers for house calls. There's just no getting around these data trends - we must adjust our models to emerging realities.

Thanks for the comment!

This situation is exactly the reason we need more options for students like Des Moines University's Rural Iowa Provider Education (RIPE) program. DMU has made an on-going commitment to annually provide the equivalent of six full tuition scholarships to students enrolled in the Rural Medicine Educational Pathway, encouraging them to be part of the solution to rural physician shortage in primary care and other specialties.

These kinds of programs help students work through the tuition debt load from medical school and make a difference in rural communities in need.

Thanks, Greg - glad you found it useful! The presentation went over well, although we could have used another hour to help bridge the gap between the neophytes and advanced users.

I appreciate you helping spread the word about rural and healthcare use for social media -- if you need anything from the slideshow just let me know. I look forward to seeing your presentation as well!

John,

Great presentation. I am doing similar talks later this year to EMS organizations. Many of the concepts you have outlined in this presentation would apply to ambulance agencies.

Was your presentation well received?

I am drafting a blog post that will include your embedded slides. I will let you know when it posts.

John,

Glad to have just found your site. I don't think I will be able to attend the WI Rural Health Summit but it sounds like a great event. I share your interest in using social medial for rural health - especially EMS. I look forward to following your blog and twitter stream.

John Eich — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 18:34:54 -0000

Tim - it's just amazing how much we can say things like $20 billion now and people just nod...

I think the EMR/PHR realm is just starting to be looked at, and with a little time I think there will be an explosion of options for our information. Now if they can really nail down standards by 2010, we'll be ready to rock and roll on that! Thanks for contributing!

Re: Cloud-Based EHRs + PHRs

Tim Fry — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 10:21:26 -0000

I agree John. I have always thought that eventually a Google or Microsoft system that links my records will be the solution. But we will first dump 20 billion at it to see what happens.
