Abstract


Last year at Medicine 2.0 Congress Jen McCabe Gorman and Maarten den Braber launched a simplistic yet controversial visual/interactive planning model - neXthealth - explicating the current eHealth/teleHealth/mHealth environment and mapping a basic superstructure for strategic planning in healthcare innovation. The standing-room only session generated discussion in the Medicine 2.0 community for months afterwards, and has informed the authors' research to date.

Fast forward almost 9 months. Stages detailed in NextHealth's 4 C's of consumer-centric care (content + community + commerce + coherence) which seemed far-fetched just a year ago are now commonly deliberated in global health/wellness policy and practice discussions. Many hospital and public health planning teams are struggling to connect brick-and-mortar care delivery with consumers' desire to access healthcare goods and services in 'the cloud.'

This two part follow-up presentation, with visuals, tools and graphics offered free online in the spirit of open-source collaboration, will provide a conceptual interpretation of where global healthcare planning and delivery is headed, supported by a practical portion detailing case studies of NextHealth research in motion.

The authors offer a fast-paced, next-generation re-examination of the NextHealth research methodology and model using data from the Pew Internet Life and Research Project, P2P Foundation, e-patients.net, and other organizations, 'black swans,' and research entities studying how people and healthcare intersect.

It wouldn't be a NextHealth presentation without plenty of real-world data. Debating the realization of these stages is simple - calculating organizational ROI and planning for implementation is not. Jen McCabe has used the NextHealth model in practice to consult with leading Health 2.0 organizations and Medicine 2.0 researchers, and will share several case studies (including mHealth application design and social media metric creation & analysis) detailing results.

Evolutionary sampling of relevant sectors will be used to show how companies like Polka.com, OrganizedWisdom Health, Change:Healthcare, ENURGI, and others are connecting the dots to crowd-source 'what's next' for consumer-centric, participatory healthcare. The authors will demonstrate harnessing social media channel Twitter as the 2nd C, community, for collaborative planning. A new articulation of the NextHealth theory, the move to "choice" and "control" aware care, will be used to demonstrate the previously hidden but vital 5th component of a comprehensive NextHealth model; "context."
