active patient and citizen involvement in health care improvements

There’ll also be some survey data about empowered patients from Healthcentral, and input from the Society for Participatory Medicine’s Dr. Alan Greene (of drgreene.com fame)—and a discussion led by professional facilitator Susannah Kirsch.
This event will be free of charge to patients, people, citizens, and also free for Health 2.0 Conference attendees. Please sign up here to attend this special event!
There will also be extensive audience interaction and participation. We’ll continue on from an incredible session held at the June 2010 Health 2.0 Goes to Washington Conference, and from a very vibrant discussion on the e-Patients.net blog about what to call the new generation of patients.
