FWIW, open access to the article seems to have been revoked. Thankfully, as a grad student, I was able to access it through a university library.

Health Wonk Review: Spring has just about sprung…

Welcome to Health Wonk Review, where everyone is above average. We enjoy above-average health care costs per capita, above-average uninsured rates, and above-average obsession with health care reform. That’s what it’s like today in America. Our presi…

What's next for us? There's a lot of work to do to start up the Society for Participatory Medicine. From vision to decision is pretty cost-free, but advancing to operation creates a shift in one's calendar. :–) All motivated Participants are welcome! Click me and write me! Meanwhile as I've begun the adventure of moving my data from PatientSite into Google Health, I've received QUITE an education. There are substantial overlaps between this and my day job (business data) regarding data model and data quality. Lesson #1 is the reverse of the old saw: when you're exporting to a new system, the rule is, Garbage Out, Garbage In. (Hint: visibility into the data in your old system may leave you aghast.) #2 is, no matter how clever two systems are, if their data models don't match, the stuff don't port. Big learnings for participating e-patients to be aware of! This has me so puzzled I've been unsure just what to say about it for two weeks. But the time is coming.

Dave,

Please leave yourself “in,” and thanks for spending some time to help with the now openly available article. What’s next for us? I know you’re cooking up something,

Ted

Not to be left out, I too had a long talk with Carleen as she was working on the article, but (me???) we ranged far afield from this specific topic. :–) I was impressed with how well she grasped this massive and complex field, which is new to her. So I was especially happy to see that the finished article turned out well, too.

And now that it has “Editor’s Choice” open access, I can go tell all my (non-subscriber) friends!

Perhaps the things she and I discussed will be foundation for the “parts two through n” that Matthew @BoltyBoy mentioned.

Just wanted to let you know that Health Affairs has heard the voice of web/health 2.0. I just clicked on the link of the article and it opens a full version of the article without registration or payment. When I tried this the other day it was still behind the fire wall.

Ted,

I am sure the irony of the article being hidden from our eyes will not be missed by many!

How can you title an article “Take Two Aspirin And Tweet Me In The Morning: How Twitter, Facebook, And Other Social Media Are Reshaping Health Care”, basically mentioning a huge segment of what makes Health 2.0, including the basic & fundamental openness of these services, while shutting down access to the article for all of us who have participated in creating this Health 2.0 world from the sideline. May of us are, unlike you or all those you mentioned, unconnected to the professional medical world but deeply immersed in medical information production & provision.

IMO, Health Affairs, should be slightly more Web 2.0 about this specific article and grant Open Access to it.
