HealthCampDC is the latest in the HealthCamp un-conference series addressing the transformation of health care to a participatory model with active patient engagement through the use of social networking sites, open standards and web 2.0. This is part of the Health 2.0 movement towards participatory health care inspired by the definition that Ted Eytan and others (including patients) evolved for Health 2.0:

Health 2.0 is participatory Healthcare

Enabled by information, software, and community that we collect or create, we the patients can be effective partners in our own healthcare, and we the people can participate in reshaping the health system itself.

Join Physicians, entrepreneurs, bloggers and others who are passionate about improving health care at CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield’s DC offices (at 840 1st St, NE, Washington, DC 20002) on Friday November 12th, 2010.
