Online Social Spaces in Healthcare - Patient Journey Wikis

Following on from this years ALT-C workshop Runaway Objects : Preserving Our Digital Belongings I’ve now set up the two wikis which will form the basis of my research project.

Patient Journeys Wiki - a place to document existing patient journeys already existing on the web.

PEXH Wiki - a place for people to document new patient journeys.
