I wonder if Userland could manage a "shared care plan". The key idea is that several (3-7) people need to be informed and in communication about a specific "data set".

I believe that Nicholas Riley had done this previously with Frontier Manilla or Radio.

Bill Mahoney begins the open dialogue on Patient Centered care when he posts:

Activated patientness is not a trait but a state. The state is created by the care team (in whatever form) providing patient-centered care. The only importance of patient traits is that they (e,g, locus of control, self-esteem, soci-economic status, location in the social structure) specify the probability of x level/type of patient-centered care activity resulting in y level of activation. The biggest barrier (if the focus groups done 2 years ago tell us anything) is not the patient, but the provider. Building patient-centered care (CCM's productive interactions) is identical to building team development (it is team development.....patient as full partner in the care team). The absolutely essential foundation of patient-centered care is the creation of team cohesiveness (see team measure) and this will require that providers redefine their role, the patient's role and the nature of the patient-provider relationship. My hypothesis is that few will be willing to go there and we may easily revert to blaming it on those noncompliant patients...an animal that does not exist. [Bill Mahoney's Radio Weblog]
