I’m so delighted to announce the return of “From Paris to Palo Alto | Doctors 2.0 & You - Medicine X” for 2013. I can’t wait to head to Paris in a few months to hear and see what is happening in European eHealth at our partner conference, Doctors 2.0 & You, organized by Ms. Denise Silber.

Open Access, First Look
Medicine X is an open access conference. We believe in wide dissemination of the information presented at our conference, without barriers to access. Our Global Access program livestream was a very successful method to accomplish that goal. In an initiative we are calling First Look, we are proud to provide a second component after access: timely publication.
Let patients be purchasers: one doctor’s order for lower healthcare costs
A few months ago, my 5-year-old nephew broke his arm while running through his house. It turned out he was fine and my sister’s concern over her son’s welfare eventually gave way to financial frustration. The total cost for X-rays and a tiny cast: more than $800, which, of course, fell shy of the family’s insurance plan deductible.

About the badge
In a small town in Northern California called Yountville, above the door leaving the one of the world’s most celebrated kitchens, is a ceramic tile with the word “Finesse” accompanied by its definition. I know this because each year I have a thank you lunch for the students in my lab. They get to select the restaurant and we usually end up at the French Laundry (always ask for a tour of the kitchen, it is amazing). Mr. Keller signs his books with the inscription, “It’s all about the finesse“. That has been my mantra as organizing chairman of Medicine 2.o @ Stanford. This was an artisan conference, handcrafted with love. So, I’m going to tell you the story about how we made the Medicine 2.0 @ Stanford conference badges.
