Have you heard of Elude - a new game designed to help people overcome depression: http://www.govloop.com/profiles/blogs/elude-gaming-as-the-opposite

Opens up a discussion about health literacy, too:

"Elude is designed for the clinical setting, as part of a psycho-education package for friends and family of those living with depression. As I sat imagining this play out between clinician, client and family, my mind wandered to health literacy and realized that this type of education doesn’t fit in our current definitions. According to Healthy People health literacy is “the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services to make appropriate health decisions.” What about the ability to empathize with others’ and their health struggles?"

Fifth annual Safe-Rx Awards ranks e-prescribing by state, using three different measurements:

1. Percentage of all prescriptions that were issued electronically,
2. Percentage of patient visits in which doctors can see a full medication history during the meeting and
3. Percentage of patient visits in which doctors can access the patient's prescription benefits plan from his or her insurance company, giving the doctor a clue about which drugs might be cheaper.
