Thanks for the post and the link Cary. The stats are interesting and bring up two further points that require further debate and forward progress:
1. the whole idea of putting more onus on the patients for their own care… there seems to be a general lack of responsibility among a certain segment that continues to befuddle caregivers.
2. More and more we will see mobile devices (iPhone, BlackBerry, etc) being leveraged to assist patients in the same manner that Intelecare is doing here but with even more caregiver/patient interaction… I am talking more than just notification. The technology is there so it is just a matter of connecting patients and families and the caregiving team in a more collaborative and real time fashion. Maybe I will post something over at the mobile strategy blog (http://m-strat.org) on this topic.

Thanks for pushing the conversation forward.
