Exploration of the e-patient phenomenon in nursing informatics

Those of you who know me, know that I am very interested in the topic of the e-Patient.  When we published this paper last year, we realized that only academics with access to journals through a university library or those with journal subscriptions would be able to read this paper and learn along with us.  We asked if there could be open access to this paper so that patients would be able to read our paper and know that there were clinicians in practice that welcomed and encouraged engaged patients, but unfortunately it did not happen.  Today while searching for something unrelated, I came across our paper online in a PDF format so thought I would share.

If you are going to the American Association of Diabetes Educators meeting in Philadelphia next month, Perry Gee and I will be presenting on this topic as it specifically relates to diabetes.  We are looking forward to taking the conversation to more clinicians and e-Patients in the future.

Back to school writing now.....
