Is this the future of health care?

http://content.healthaffairs.org/content/28/2/361.short

If you want a glimpse of what health care could look like a few years from now, consider “Hello Health,” the Brooklyn-based primary care practice that is fast becoming an emblem of modern medicine. A paperless, concierge practice that eschews the limitations of insurance-based medicine, Hello Health is popular and successful, largely because of the powerful and cost-effective communication tools it employs: Web-based social media. Indeed, across the health care industry, from large hospital networks to patient support groups, new media tools like weblogs, instant messaging platforms, video chat, and social networks are reengineering the way doctors and patients interact.

Mike White from the UK will be presenting on ARTS & HEALTH
Workforce development in Arts and Health at the Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery

This presentation is for those who work in hospitals, primary care, respite care and rehabilitation, public health, social services settings, community based organisations, schools and places where art therapies are practiced.

MIKE WHITE is a Senior Reserach Fellow at the Centre for Medical Humanities and ST. Chads’ College, University of Durham, UK. In 2005 he was awarded a fellowship of the UK’s National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts to research community based arts in health and build national/international links in this field. A resulting book Arts Development in Community Health – a social tonic was published by Radcliff in 2009.
