Join Us for Patient Reviews of Physicians: The Wisdom of the Crowd?

Patient Reviews of Physicians: The Wisdom of the Crowd?
Google Hangout On Air with Niam Yaraghi and Casey Quinlan
Wed, Jun 24, 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM ET

Presented in association with The Society for Participatory Medicine.

I am hosting a conversation with Niam Yaraghi (Center for Technology Innovation, The Brookings Institution) and Casey Quinlan (Mighty Casey Media) following their interesting back-and-forth online on the question of whether and how patient reviews of physicians can add value. We will consider the old saw that healthcare is unique and can’t be dealt with in the same way as other products and services, and explore productive ways forward around recognizing the patient voice in evaluating health care providers.

Please read Niam’s and Casey’s posts before tuning in: Niam’s post and Casey’s post – as well as Niam’s follow up post and Casey’s follow up post.

You should follow all three of us on Twitter: @healthblawg, @niamyaraghi and @mightycasey.

See you on the 24th. Please come prepared to join the conversation by posting comments and questions on the feed – and submit some in advance using the Q&A function. We will address them as time permits.

Join us for what promises to be a very interesting Google Hangout On Air. (Please RSVP on the Hangout page.) It will be archived for later viewing as well.

Please share this information with anyone who you may think would be interested.
