We all know that the US healthcare system — just like the healthcare systems of many other countries — has become unsustainable. We also know from experience that changes in the healthcare industry come slowly; probably quite a bit more slowly than the double-digit growth rate of health expenses that is reaching 20% of GDP.<\/p>\n
So Quo Vadis Health?<\/p>\n
Fortunately, increasingly many people both inside and outside of the healthcare industry are seeing this not just as a problem, but as an opportunity. To give this community a "virtual water cooler" to hang out, we recently put up a wiki and a couple of mailing lists at:<\/p>\n
health20.org<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n If you are interested in the unconventional, the disruptive, the new new thing in healthcare, why don’t you join us? There will be a second HealthCamp some time in February, building on the success of the first HealthCamp<\/a> in San Francisco. Sign up the announce<\/tt> mailing list to find out where and when.<\/p>\n
