How are Web 2.0
technologies like social networks, wikis and online communities
changing the face of the health care industry? How are hospital systems
and physician practices evolving as a result of rapid technological
change?  How can health plans evolve in
the face of emerging challenges with the help of new technologies and
new thinking? What will come of the recent controversies over genetic
testing and the privacy of patient data? Where does the hype over social networks and
user-generated content end and the reality begin?

Come learn more about these questions and many more at Health 2.0 on October 22nd – 23rd at the San Francisco Marriott.
