More than six thousand doctors recently met in Washington for Internal Medicine 2008, the annual meeting of the American College of Physicians. Panel discussions focused on the medical profession's most important issues including e-Health. ACP President David Dale was joined by Dr. Joel Levine, Chair of the Board of Regents for ACP to talk about their new policy paper. The paper states that collaboration among physicians, patients, technology developers, and policymakers must occur if e-health activities like electronic communication between physicians and their patients, remote monitoring of patients, personal and electronic health records, and patients seeking health information online are to transform health care in the U.S.
