The health 2.0 tree whose branches reach all parts of Spain, has its roots in Andalucia. Abla, Almería, but with bits of mosaic from the rest of Spain, comes the manifest Abla, intended as a start of construction of a health 2.0. Here it is for the enjoyment of the user:
Abla Manifesto 2010
In the community met for the first time in September 2010 with the first two conferences on Health 2.0 in Sevilla and Granada, and has been reunited at the recent Health 2.0 in Abla (Almería) in late 2010, the initiative # salud20Andalucia arises. But # salud20andalucia
has become much more than a label for a successful application (Twitter ®), # salud20andalucia visionary germ is a group open, collaborative and enthusiastic, where each brings his vision as a citizen and professional and where contributions are not limited to Andalusia but is open to the global community with national and international interests. The
collective ideology comes this manifesto.
Members of this group are convinced of the need to advance towards a new socio more sustainable, participatory and democratic development in the relations between citizens, professionals and organizations are necessary and timely redesigned to achieve a more accessible and nearby health.
think the Health 2.0 concept must be understood as a change in organizational culture supported by a horizontal and collaborative design, compared to the traditional hierarchical pyramid.
health institutions can and should harness the potential of this new change of 2.0 health model for what can count on the professionals who have already taken steps in this regard.
these ideas are written on these lines of work thus become our proposal to start the renewal of health along the lines arising from Web 2.0.
For Citizenship:
citizens under the principle of patient autonomy, as enshrined in the Statute of the patient, are co-responsible for their health, so that their active participation is essential to both health care and in improving Socio systems.
should respect and encourage citizen self-organization in networked communities. There is no better empowerment that arises spontaneously and independently.
talks to citizens about their health and the health system should not be understood as threats by managers or professionals, but as a great opportunity for improving the system.
participatory citizenship does not expect to be asked to review and assess the quality of services. The opinions arising in the network are a flexible and valuable for the continuous improvement of the health system. Organizations can not be limited to traditional assessment systems.
technologies offer opportunities and solutions. All of them must serve the needs of citizens, regardless of institutional agendas. If not, could become an obstacle in improving the health system.
technological solutions must be simple, manageable and affordable. Before you deploy an application must assess whether it meets these premises. Training citizenship is a prerequisite for success.
institutional initiatives with technological support, when not taken into account in public, often fail to move into real practice, so it should be raised from their point of view, allowing you to suit your needs and expectations. Before consolidating
general solutions must build local experiences. The experimental method is not only the most suitable for scientific knowledge, also for design services. The Living Lab experience should serve as a model Abla.
citizens excluded and disconnected from society Current solutions based on Web 2.0 should be integrated, as are most in need of health services.
The first step towards transparency is clarity. And information services should be easy to find, use and understand.
For Professionals:
Establish mechanisms to facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing through the use of professional networks, as they are they have sufficient information and knowledge to improve their services.
Self-organization geriatric professionals, along with citizenship, should be a fundamental pillar of change. The local community has become a social space for innovation to lead the change.
professionals debate about health system should not be seen as a threat by managers or politicians, but as a great opportunity for improving the system.
Internet is a way to improve the relationship between citizens and professionals. Collaborate on the network target services to citizens and to share experiences, strengthens the common growth.
Unleashing use of Internet and new technologies is essential to organized or sponsored improving the health system.
Technological solutions must be accessible to everyone. Organizations should provide and facilitate access regardless of place of work and qualifications.
Security can not be an excuse for access to the Internet. Should be a right exercised by professionals from the responsibility, not censorship or limitation.
The use of technology must respect the right to privacy, honor and reputation. All users, citizens and professionals must ensure these rights, according to the terms established by law.
training on new technologies is a right and obligation of all professionals. Such training should be encouraged as it promotes the transfer properly knowledge and develop new skills.
should enhance networking strategies through specific initiatives related to professional practice and collaborative technologies that promote two-way relationship with patients.
