Healthcare and Social Media

Social Media in Health Care from Joel Topf

I gave my healthcare and social media talk today at Grand Rounds at Providence Hospital. Great turnout. Good questions.

Some observations

• People are concerned about the ubiquitous text messaging of clinical images. This is an opening for the forthcoming Figure 1.  
• Doctors are nervous about patient portals. No new observations here but I received a number of questions about this after my talk. Maybe my next talk should be Ready of Not Here Comes Meaningful Use Phase 2.
• People wanted to know the specific way to build a Facebook presence for their practice.

Maybe I should run a workshop for people to get started on Twitter, Facebook and Blogging. Thinking.
