I work with the Boston-based non-profit Partners in Health (PIH). This small organization is changing world health through a disciplined rollout of a new model for community-based care. Their work started in Haiti and Boston, but has now spread to other countries including Mexico, Peru, Russia, and Rwanda.
Today the PIH team started an exciting experiment for online health. They published their HIV Treatment Guide in a new online website which allows comments from anyone in the world.
Please see PIH Model Online.
How will this work? Will a critical (life-saving) online medical manual get filled with inaccurate comments? Will readers be able to make a distinction between accurate and inaccurate postings?
We will see. What do you think? ¶3:36 PM; digg
