We want to build a multilevel world community of health care providers. To that end we have named the development portion of our project, "The Open Dialogue Project, for continuous cooperative relationships." Our goal would include, "Timely, transparent information in the pursuit of cooperation among clinicians and patients." This approach to communication using RadioUserland and the Frontier/Manila combination supports several of the goals (efficient, patient-centered) and aims (transparency, shared information, cooperation among clinicians).

Our plan is to use a combination of Manila server(s) and Radio blogs. This is a link to some graphics that illustrate how we plan to use these programs

One of the first things a project needs is a name. This could give us something to think about and to focus on. For example, the military takes names of its operations, "Snipe," "Infinite Justice," and companies take names for projects like Macintosh OS versions "Darwin," and "Jaguar." ... Something like project "Great Expectations."

We will use most of the individual radio blogs as they are being used now and publishing to special categories. We will then take the category feeds and use several dedicated Radio "Users" to be collect those category publishing for the specific individual categories. ... In effect the collected categories will become focus groups of the world health care community.

This is the first thoughts concerning

Link to - Hardware - This hardware is suggested as a possibility.

Link to - Software - The same goes for these software choicecs. Except for Frontier and Radio, which are the backbones we are building on.

The key idea behind this entire Institute of Medicine approach includes six goals: 1. Safe, 2. Effective (evidence based), 3. Patient-centered, 4. Timely, 5. Efficient, and 6. Equitable.

The Institute of Medicine also suggest ten simple rules which will lead us toward the six goals.
1. Continuous healing relationships
2. Customization
3. Patient control
4. Shared information
5. Evidence-based decision-making
6. Safety as a system property
7. Transparency
8. Anticipation of needs
9. Continuous decrease in waste
10. Cooperation among clinicians

This approach to communication supports several of the goals (efficient, patient-centered) and rules (transparency, shared information, cooperation among clinicians).
