2011 Aging and Health Technology Report: Calibrated Care is Closer to HomeThe one consensus about health care is that its cost growth is unsustainable: according to some estimates, it is expected to reach $2.7 trillion in 2009 or 17.3% of GDP, according to the Center for Medicare Services (CMS). With little general agreement on how to contain costs, some consumers and providers still find ways to get or deliver care outside of the walls of the doctor’s office and emergency room. Today home monitoring and telehealth technology markets, self-care technologies, retail clinics, and use of mobile health and online websites help individuals and caregivers to manage chronic disease. By 2020, providers and patients will willingly participate in a process of calibrated care – matching the right level of care at the right time and right place – through lower-cost, technology-enabled and closer-to home interactions.

Great report; there is hope for physicians
Dear Laurie,
Thanks for making your thoughts available for review and discovery, I am a fan.
I wanted to support your assertion about the myth of patients' lack of engagement, which as you point out has been proven so in organizations that make engagement a priority. It feels that in many parts of health care, "is there a lack of engagement by our patients?" is answered before the question is even asked by the way these systems are set up.
I also wanted to point out some newer data that shows that physicians who have the capacity to interact with patients online are doing it (the title of the article doesn't tell the full story) - in a national, broad sample, it's 61% of physicians, which is a lot, as it crosses the financing schemes and practice sizes of the population studied. (see http://www.tedeytan.com/2010/10/28/6870 )
As you point out, engagement is a virtuous circle, thanks again for taking the time to inform on this topic of interest to many,
Ted
Updated with new data - thanks
Thanks, Ted, I added the reference to the newer study and updated the report -- thanks!
