I am being set up to talk to Eden and the Boston Folks and then I will write the Colin Powell invitation. I already showed the retired military folks my systems diagram the full system of care that any advocate and consumer have to navigate. I've sent you all this material (which is in for my book) on how to create a web based portal of access to train advocates and weave programs into a productive formation for one and all. I am with my friend in Boston who has created the thinking for cell phones as it relates to health and nutrition. A cell phone can be used as a diary for a patient to capture and sense unhealthy symptoms that can send off an alarm of request to a person for help and advocacy, before the symptoms get out of control.

A young man named Eden has completed a study through Suffolk University that found that the majority of homeless vets in Boston linking in through a homeless shelter in Court Street, Downtown Boston, were sexually abused in child hood. While I continue my conversations tied to Washington DC and the Veteran's Administration, you make an important point here. I witness people trying to figure out how to build a system based on how the government contracts and budgets rather than build a system that assures the best possible treatment, identification of susceptibility pre war theater to PTSD or treatment post release from a war theater or post release from non war theater active duty scaling through the post military career when all vets have health coverage through the VA (gosh I think we have a single pay system to test in quality). I am upset that I have to listen to a group meeting and shaving down a project based on how they can pitch and sell technology within the current budget organization when I know there is a need for a system that i spent 2 days having input in design to last week to demonstrate possibility and need. Ask me how I feel about all of this. That said, as you know last week, I wrote out a scenario related to Veteran care for your review and began to frame an event of possibility for people to come participate with us to take a stand and document the actual need. I have done this before and I am expert in how to build such a community of practice. So who wants to join us. I will stage it and make it happen as a tuition based event so the event can be served by a budget that also helps my project WECare manage it with all the right resources from web, content, design and more. Any takers? At this time, I have a very long list of people I want to invite and can get an invitation to Colin Powell. Nick, I am in Boston visiting friends in community health.
