Don presents a new model of healthcare in his keynote address for the 2011 HP CIO Summit.

Patients are isolated from one another and rarely communicate or share knowledge. Healthcare occurs primarily when you enter the healthcare system. For many years, this was the only model possible. But Web 2.0 puts the informed patient into a new context. It enables a new model of medicine we call 'collaborative healthcare.'
