On ICMCC

Using knowledge to create knowledge is the major concept of the emerging knowledge society. This way, knowledge becomes sustainable and a tool to realize the millennium goals. But to achieve this in the most effective way, we will have to make inventories of knowledge.

ICMCC (International Council on Medical & Care Compunetics) is an international foundation operating as the knowledge centre for medical and care compunetics (COMPUting & Networking, its EThICs and Social/societal implications), making information on medicine and care available to patients using compunetics as well as distributing information on the use of compunetics in medicine and care to patients and professionals.

Knowledge is derived from the synthesis between information and experience. ICMCC is becoming the global guiding platform in bringing information and experience related to medical and care compunetics together, thus creating the necessary inventories of knowledge. As we are aiming at both the patient/citizen and the professional we also target and facilitate the shifting relationship between the two.

Observations 3 February 2010: Questions

I come across hundreds of news items a day when selecting the ones that should be posted on the ICMCC Newspage. And sometimes these articles raise questions.

Guest: If Air Travel Worked Like Health Care

Back in September, Jonathan Rauch of the National Journal wrote a terrific (fact-based!) send-up of our archaic, arcane, not-customer-centric healthcare system, titled “If Air Travel Worked Like Health Care.” I wish I’d known about it then, but I only learned of it recently, because a couple called “The New Altons” have made a great home-brew video of it, and posted it in YouTube.

Observations 15 January 2010: Numbers; again

I hate it when I have to repeat myself, it brings memories of those classic vinyl records and the needle hanging in the same groove. Nevertheless, it seems necessary.

What inspired me to come back to something I have written about before is the title of an article in today’s e-Health Europe, Half of European doctors use web video. I know, Mr. Hoeksma wants to attract readers and has the decency to be a bit more realistic inside the article.
