#CinderBlocks2 ePatientDave Key note
Realtime notes from day 2 of CinderBlocks2 in Grantsville, MD.
ePatient Dave recounts his emergence on the national stage. I remember him at Health 2.0 in Boston in 2009. I saw him preaching from the balcony with healthcare looking up to him. We still are.
Today Patient talks about Patient Engagement.

It is perverse to keep people in the dark and then call them ignorant.
Empowerment:
Increasing the capacity of individuals or groups to make choices and to transform those choices into desired actions and outcomes. – World Bank, 2002.
Half of everyone who’s ever been 65 is alive today.
