Now, that's unexpected. A group of rather respectable people have created an Open Healthcare Manifesto, which has been modeled after the famous Clue Train Manifesto.

The call it the Health Train. It lists the following principles:

• Openness
• Empowerment
• Conversation
• Empathy
• Trust
• Critical Thinking
• Guidance
• Control
• Credentials
• Transparency
• Privacy
• Anonymity
• Scientific Validity
• Conflicts of Interest
• Sponsorship
• Promotion
• Controversy
• Civility and Respect

Here is a summary (quoting):

This Manifesto proposes principles under which open media could become a force of positive change in public health and the healthcare system. It steers clear of issues that may favor any stakeholder group over another, aside from promoting greater empowerment of individual healthcare consumers and professionals. The goal of this effort is not to offer specific prescriptions for a healthcare reform, as different people and groups have very different ideas. The objective is to propose general principles under which open expression and discussion can force system change for the better. This is work in progress that will benefit from constructive criticism.
