Yes, we need better collaboration tools to help nurses help patients. Agree.

Great post! It should be taking the strain and hassle that's been draining the entire healthcare team, especially on us nurses knowing that most often we pose as the bridge that link all the members of the team ...

Keep on posting!

Atit,

I'm sure clinical collaboration will evolve and refine as these technologies become more powerful, cheaper and easier to use. There will be many problems which will need to solved - beyond just the technological - but over time I think the needs of practitioners and patients will drive innovation and adoption.

Brilliant! I can't imagine how technology is growing so fast as days elapse. It's even becoming more informative and "hassle" is now slowly brushed out of the picture. I am a nurse and the situational example stated was I believe, very effective especially in exchanging information of people in the healthcare team; by doing so, collaboration would become more efficient.

Great post!

Actually it is not difficult to imagine resolution of HIPAA and privacy concerns either.

Just like ClinyBot can access research data and even link to relevant clinical trials, let's pretend there's another bot called, HideBot which gets configured by the patient and doctor. Purpose of the 'HideBot' is to hide/encode the sensitive patient demographic data. It will create a DMZ like buffer zone to expose the clinical data
to the outside world while protecting the sensitive patient-identification data with the physician.

Nice vision. It seems, Google Wave could be the wave of the future clinical collaboration.

@Matt_Perez

Is the demo up anywhere online to view?

A rudimentary version of this, GoogleHealthWave, was demonstrated last night by Siamak Ashrafi. He's full of ideas along these lines. Great guy.

Interesting! If any clinicians want to add me to a mock clinical wave, feel free! anne.marie.cunningham at googlewave.com

Phil,
Great article. Now imagine what happens if the Patient (or the person they have assigned their responsibilities to) compiles the initial wave and submits it to the hospital.

Also imagine another ClinyBot that might be interpreting the conversation and providing context back to the patient (or their representative).

If the patient is at the center and is a partner not a subject - the compliance with HIPAA might be somewhat simplified.
