Healthcare 3D, via a Web 2.0 tip

I'm amazed almost daily by the growing power of social computing.  One of my Australian colleagues who shares a passion for all the new possibilities of the Web 2.0 world and virtual innovations is Jasmin Tragas, who also writes the inspiring WonderWebby blog.

We also collaborate and stay connected via instant messaging, Twitter, virtual worlds and shared social bookmarks. In fact, Jazz was able to share a post by VeeJay Burns in the MindBlizzard blog:

Virtual Healthcare 2: Palomar Pomerado Health

that she spotted via Google Reader, since she knows I'm interested in the role that virtual worlds could play in healthcare.

Congrats to Cisco and Millions of Us on their work. Maybe there's some collaboration opportunities with our own IBM Healthcare sim project?

I also blog on the use of tech and 2.0 to better our health care education. I think virtual worlds, and the use of social networking will soon change the way we deliver content to our students. Nursing education is becoming increasingly online and, in fact, Arizona State University has a goal to have all the graduate nursing programs to go totally online in the next 2 years. This is a huge step and the use of Second Life, Social Networking, and Human Patient Simulation will play key roles as we educate the next generation of students.

I think the biggest challenge will be to get the faculty to give up their PowerPoint lectures and move to interactive and student centered learning objectives!

I REALLY enjoyed this article, and I agree with the above comment that web 2.0 and the virtual simulation is indeed the wave of the future. I envision it making huge strides in the way both patients and healthcare professionals grasp complex medical conditions. I'm going to summarize link to this article on my blog http://pharmacyinsights.blogspot.com/
