Web/Health 2.0 For Dummies

Blogs, wikis, social bookmarking and social networking for dummies courtesy of Pew Trusts' e-patients.net. Simple explanations and visual demonstrations to better understand the basic concepts.

I've watched a couple of these before -- but have not seen a post with them conveniently in one place. Again the power of social networking (e-social improvement courtesy of the grid crowd). Moreover, I didn't really know who produced these short explanatory videos -- check out Common Craft for more videos including on RSS in Plain English.



Hmm . . . I may contact them to help me produce a clip called: Stark Law in Plain English.

Joint Commission Launches WikiHealthCare

iHealthBeat reports about the Joint Commission's new pilot wiki, WikiHealthCare. The pilot project is an effort by the Joint Commission to create a collaborative space for open exchange of information among health care professionals.

According to the article, the site now only has 1,500 registered users and only about 10 actively posting to the wiki. What's a wiki?

Modern Healthcare has more.
