As one of the organizers of one of the fastest growing NYC Meetup groups, I use this page to gather additional information that you can’t always put all in one place on meetup.com. See below for details on the events I have run or am running.
Hospitals 2.0 Series – Reduce Readmission Edition
Price: $10.00/per person
Our second event in the series, Hospitals 2.0 has an amazing show for you. Bringing the latest technologies that are changing how the hospital experience works, these companies are all doing something special in the space. We call it the ‘Get Out and Stay Out- Reduce Readmission Edition’ because the river that runs through these creations and companies is that that they help patients recover faster, be more engaged in the hospital experience, get educated,, and stay out of the hospital. With the Medicare clawback imminent and the onus on hospitals to reduce readmission rates, there is no time like the present to come see what can be done about this enormous problem.
The event was very popular last time and I know at least one of the presenting companies got a big NYC Hospital deal right afterward. Very cool! Tim Brown of Antidote solutions will be running this event but we have a time and date picked out so put it on you calendar! If you want to be on the Hospital Leader panel and comment on the products and how they apply to your facility, present please contact us.
The format is companies will present their Project or Product and a panel of Hospital Executives in charge of Innovation will also offer comments and critiques of the products and projects. If this event is anything like the last one, some will even become customers!
Thank you to our generous hosts, the Visiting Nurse Service of New York. You guys are awesome!

Maureen Farrell, Forbes.com
Maureen joined Forbes in August 2006 as a writer on entrepreneurship. Trying to put words and videos around the broad, misunderstood and frankly undercelebrated idea of entrepreneurship has forced me to conquer my fear of flying on a tiny air taxi ride; offered me the opportunity to eat ice cream for breakfast out of the first fresh vending machine to make freshly churned ice cream; and to watch a paraplegic woman learn to walk for the first time in 15 years with a robotic exoskeleton. I’m always on the lookout for entrepreneurs with big ideas trying to change the world, and hope to offer up examples of what forms of public policy and capital speed up innovation and entrepreneurship.

Spread the Word!
Please pass this on to your friends, tweet and blog about it. Not every Healthcare Start-up in the Northeast knows about this event, let’s make sure they do! If we get too many submission we will just have to do the event again!

I made this page to give everyone access to all the info and because I needed to put it all in one place anyway. Not as pretty as a powerpoint, but what it lacks in style it has in accessibility.

MEETUP TWEETUP HASTAG: #H2NYC
Live Stream Channel: www.livestream.com/FairCareMD
We have assembled an all star group of presenters for the first Meetup / Tweetup dedicated to social media in Healthcare. The goal of the meetup is to look at the current state of healthcare social media utilization and explore the possible future changes that could or should become reality.
Our Panelists include two successful HCSM-using Twitter-Docs, two CEOs of Healthcare Social Media enterprises, a HCSM researcher, one HCSM Writer, and THE Esther Dyson. We couldn’t get a hospital SM Panelist and that probably says something about something but I am not saying what (feel free to comment on it below.)
First and Foremost (well, after that shameless plug : ) let me Thank Eugene Borokovich and Lynn Nezin for asking me to run the meetup for the summer. Thank you for the opportunity to do something this fun and maybe important.
Secondly, I’d like to thank the participants and leaders of the NYC and National Health 2.0 groups. You folks are making a great impact by leading and inspiring change not just to startups but to hopital administrators, doctors, patients, governments, and decision makers everywhere. With 1,000 companies in Health 2.0 and I have no idea how many members (Matt, feel free to chime in here) and contests like the Developers Challenge (see below) this is not just a change we can believe in, but one we are making happen every day.
Third, with with my site just launching in June I could not have pulled this off without the help of these awesome people:

Bios of Our Panelists
Jen Dyer, MD, MPH aka @EndoGoddess
Jennifer Shine Dyer, MD, MPH, FAAP is a member of the Section of Endocrinology and Metabolism at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and is Assistant Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology, The Ohio State University College of Medicine. Dr. Dyer is also an affiliate faculty member of the Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in the Center for Clinical and Translational Research where she is a principle investigator. She received her medical degree from The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio in 2000 which was then followed by pediatric internship and residency training in 2000-2003 at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Dallas. Her specialty training in pediatric endocrinology was also obtained at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Dallas from 2003-2006. She recently earned her MPH degree at The Ohio State University College of Public Health in December 2008. Dr. Dyer is board certified in both Pediatrics and Pediatric Endocrinology by the American Board of Medical Specialties (American Board of Pediatrics). She is also a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics and has recently been selected as one of ‘2010 America’s Top Pediatricians’ by the Consumers Research Council of America.
Her current clinical and research interests include the following: the developmental origins of insulin resistance, mechanisms of nutrition-induced oxidation, gestational diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, childhood obesity prevention, telemedicine, and health communications. She is currently working to coordinate an ambitious project with the Center for Clinical and Translational Research at the Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, pediatric endocrinology, OSU Geography department, OSU Communications department, and Obstetrics/Gynecology Maternal Fetal Medicine at Ohio State University in an effort to better understand variances of peri-natal nutrition that may prevent the later onset of type 2 diabetes and to test a nutrition education video intervention. Other projects include a geographical analysis by GIS of changes in the complete nutritional environment in central Ohio and correlations with increases in type 2 diabetes incidence in the region to guide health policy. Dr. Dyer is also excited about testing a protocol for behavioral therapy using telemedicine to assist with improving diabetes control. Other telemedicine projects include the development of a personalized yet automated texting program for teens with diabetes to improve medication adherence.
Dr Dyer is also passionate about consumer health communications and health media to improve health literacy. Dr. Dyer has been trained in television news media and in the use of social media (twitter, internet blogging) to affect health care change at the American Medical Association’s Annual Medical Communications Conference since 2008. She currently participates as a staff physician expert and consumer medical writer for www.Netwellness.org , micro-blogging on Twitter (EndoGoddess), and authors a weekly Medscape physician blog (Musings of an EndoGoddess).

She also serves as a category chairperson since 2007 in the academy of judges for The International Health & Medical Media Awards, The FREDDIES, a competition now in its 36th year, which endeavors to encourage and celebrate excellence in health-related media productions. Inspired by the excellent FREDDIES films, Dr. Dyer is currently seeking funding for an inspirational diabetes documentary featuring local children successfully living with diabetes to be shown to all children and families upon their admission to Nationwide Children’s Hospital upon learning of a new diagnosis of diabetes.
Dr. Dyer summarizes her career goals as follows: “I am finding more and more that health literacy is what I think is important…all of the medical research discoveries in the world can never help the public to be healthier if the public does not understand or care about how to become healthier. As a physician and as a public health specialist with communication training, I feel that this is my mission: to help to communicate and guide patients (as well as policy makers) through health knowledge in a way that they can understand and value in order to live their healthiest and happiest lives.”

- Audience/content: How can patients tell whether they can trust the information social media sites provide? Do you expect to see regulations on this subject in the future?
- Audience/content: What can you tell me about the demographics of social media healthcare users in your experience? Is it driven by age, status, race, educational level, other factors?

- Legal: When you mix healthcare with social media, many concerns arise, including transparency, authenticity, security, validity, community, vulnerability and accuracy. Which do you think are the most worrisome?

Most individuals who have got health insurance get it through an employer. The bottom line is, Obama’s strategy offers a less high-priced government-run option, with nearly widespread insurance coverage of all Us citizens. This public strategy would function along with the private and other wellness care alternatives that now exist. The advantage of a public plan is that it may well induce private insurance companies to compete for clients when it comes to treatment, service and price.
My hope is that the PPACA implementation works how you suggest it will. FairCareMD works in many ways for people and doctors and will probably always have a place. It works with insurance plans and helps people find great doctors, even if they don’t accept your plan.
