Add that patient’s catch medical errors in their files.

Mix in savings to providers & system, by reducing need for duplicate tests.

Shake liberally by allowing patients to ADD data.

Finish by allowing patients to opt in to research—& limit who accesses/profits from their data.

Well done! Amazing citizen journalism & advocacy!
A great reminder that we don't have to settle for political sound bytes: we can dig just a little deeper.

Important analysis of the way "vulnerable" is used in #publichealth -- often without acknowledgement of structural problems that create the "vulnerability". https://t.co/rHg3qeFwkg

Everything in healthcare needs to be based around human connection.

Creating virtual networks of patients & caregivers allows patients to participate virtually.

Not just governments & institutions: social media can also connect patients & families seeking a way to reach out. #peoplepoweredhealth

The first time you say ‘that’s ok you just didn’t have time... it’s a slippery slope. If you’re not prepared to hold true to what you are trying to shape as a culture it dissipates.
