I am extremely excited to know that one of my favorite Health 2.0 bloggers, Jane Sarasohn-Kahn who writes over at Health Populi, has just come out with a document highlighting how the future of health is being affected by social media. I plan to really dig into this document over the next few days as this is pretty much the focus of my interest regarding the advancement of health.
No longer are consumers tied down to a single option regarding their personal health. You all know that I love information and the Web is certainly the place to get your fill - that includes health information. With sites like WebMD for details on disease and conditions, Healia Communities for interaction with others on health issues and even tools like Qwitter, to help stop smoking - it’s easy to see that the Web is transforming how we get informed about our health.

Globalization now provides us with truly viable options around the world, not just the USA. The Joint Commission that accredits domestic hospitals have been accrediting hospitals around the world in just the past few years.
I’m working on a presentation and workshop curriculum for next month for people in healthcare - and this was just the information I was hoping to find. Thanks for pointing it out!
@Brent: That will definitely give a boost to quality hospitals around the world, thanks for the info!
@Beth: Hi Beth! Thanks for dropping by and really glad I could help out. The info in the document is gold!
