Evidence 2010: Transforming Healthcare

Over the last couple of days I have been following the ‘back channel’ to the Evidence 2010 conference on Twitter at #ev2010. We were given great coverage from Annabel Bentley (aka @doctorblogs) a “doctor in London” and Jon Brassey (aka @JRBtrip) from the TRIP Database.  Not only was this a GREAT example of how Twitter can be useful to those of us who are unable to attend a conference, but it also highlighted several key points that arose from the conference.  These points have been taken directly from Jon’s Twitter stream the context of which I know no more about, however they seem to be salient points that are worth sharing:

  1. clinicians need to start using a simple 3 word phrase – I don’t know!
  2. need to work with patients to create the care that is right for them. To bully them into a/’your’ decision is unethical
  3. healthcare systems have NO MORE MONEY! Need to work on disinvestment as well as implementation. ‘Value’ will be very important
  4. conflicts abound (pharma & academia) makes the needs for transparency even greater
  5. there is a need to support clinicians implementing evidence, to turn research into practice
  6. whole publishing model is wrong and needs to change
  7. there’s an awful lot of love and enthusiasm for TRIP!
