Chronic Pain Patient – Learning How to Become a Caregiver | By Ellen Lenox Smith| National Pain Report | 10 August 2018
Excerpt:
‘So, I am now experiencing the tables being turned. The question is how can I help to ease his concerns and help my caregiver be more comfortable to take care of his needs, too? What can I, the person that has been taken care of by him, do to let him feel the same level of support that he has generously given to me all these years?’
From the webpage:
Ellen Lenox Smith and her husband Stuart live in Rhode Island. They are co-directors for medical cannabis advocacy for the U.S. Pain Foundation, along with Ellen on the board and they both also serve as board members for the Rhode Island Patient Advocacy Coalition.

Government announce opt-out system for organ donation
5 August 2018 Andrew Webster
It’s funny because one of the things I have saying, and I am fairly certain among many others, that I couldn’t understand why an Opt-in/out system wasn’t being considered as the best way to find out if people want to share their patient data with you. In response to this I was informed about discussions happening for Organ Donation purposes
In this case it is for the purpose of Organ Donation, which to be honest I thought already was an ‘opt-in/out’ system. I have a card stating I’m a donor when I die, it was my choice to sign up for it, no-one elses’s.
Of course! that was before technological advances, and the progression in data analysis tools, for digitally recording information. Having patient data logged in a system to make it easier for matching potential donors must be a great thing. It will surely help to speed the process along and also help many more people before it becomes to late.
Besides which, I first signed up a long time ago but lost the card so if anything had happened the hospital would not have known. I do have a new one now! Naturally, people losing their donor cards was a huge bottleneck for the Organ Donation Foundation and the people who fight hard everyday to find matching donors.
Hopefully this new opt-in/out system will help to improve things for the Organ Donation Sector of the industry.

Why Patient Organizations Are No Summer Fling For Pharma
By Adam Chapman | 8 August 2018
Opening paragraph
‘Breaking news: Protestors from patient organizations gather en masse outside a pharmaceutical company’s headquarters wielding placards emblazoned with the words TRANSACTIONAL and TOKENISTIC.’
Excerpt
‘A patient expert’s contribution may not always be considered but letting them know the reasons why is essential to maintaining a healthy and transparent relationship, adds Foote.’

Our mission is to make pharma more open and valued
The ultimate driver for the pharmaceutical industry’s health is meeting the needs of patients, otherwise it will cease to matter.

We believe the industry must focus on a business model combining service with product, with patients at the center.
