Doctor networks and researcher networks are also springing up and adding to the transformational effect. As you also alluded to, this movement will advance the digitization of medical records/info. Thanks for your input. Sorry about the delay in posting, for some reason the filter grabbed your post and put it in my review queue. My blog default is to "post before moderate." Anupam,

Collectively these can be classified as health2.0. There is a good resource here: http://health20.org/wiki/Main_Page Targets for these sites range from: - second medical opinion - telemedicine - ratings/search of doctors, hospitals, pharma cos, pathological labs, chemists, etc. - social communities for patients, doctors, etc - emergency services - health records. There are big names throwing money specially in the health records area (Microsoft health vault, Google health, etc) and there are research projects in telemedicine (IBM, Intel...). This is definatly going to change the face of healthcare. While this blog is primarily talking of patient networks, there is also headaway made in doctors networks. A good example is http://doctors.meraMD.com which is a social and professional networking site for doctors. This would be complementary to the patient websites and could probably be mashed up in future...
