Getting out of the hospital

This is the first promoted Tweet I've ever been interested to see. Watch GE's video, and you'll be asking, with thousands of hospital patients, "Why is it so hard to get out of this place?" It's a topic I've visited before. Here's one example, and here's another.

One Medical Group

There's a notice of One Medical Group at GigaOm. I've been following Jay Parkinson for a while and I'm generally interested in new models for medicine. Since I've just had a discussion with one of my doctors about the requirements of the Affordable Health Care Act that he thinks make email communication with patients impossible, this sentence really got my attention: "In addition to more personalized care and same-day visits, patients can book appointments, renew prescriptions, check lab results and see their medical records online, as well as exchange email with their doctors." My hunch is that the doctors at One Medical Group are more interested than many doctors in communicating—and practicing—the way their patients do. I need to keep an eye on One Medical.
