http://www.ted.com Your medical chart: it's hard to access, impossible to read -- and full of information that could make you healthier if you just knew how to use it. At TEDMED, Thomas Goetz looks at medical data, making a bold call to redesign it and get more insight from it.

Totally agree with this guy. And it's valid not only for medicine, but for many others as well. It doesn't take that much time to make it understandable.

The speaker's arrogance is a big turn-off. You're not going to sway your audience by riding a high horse and screaming "God forbid doctors print things in color LOL". Yes, it feels good in the moment, but you won't inspire people that way.

All thse info slips are given only to satisfy the LAW system or companies not being sued!! not to educate patients. so this will be not implemented very soon.

This makes good sense.
A good read is "The End of Illness:
by David Agus. A must read!

You took a very good talk and blew it with your comment about doctors not understanding lab values. You came across like a righteous policy wonk. News flash: you don't have all the answers bud. A color coded lab values page isn't new. I get one at my annual physical every year.
