Where Have We Come in a Year? Social Media and Its Impact on the Healthcare Industry

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

We are very excited to announce the addition of Shahid N. Shah the CEO of HITSphere.com & Joel Selzer, Co-Founder & CEO Ozmosis, Inc. to this year’s agenda. It is interesting to see how much the healthcare social media landscape has changed in just one year. Check out the session abstract below:

Where Have We Come in a Year? Social Media and Its Impact on the Healthcare Industry
Today, 650 hospitals now have an active presence on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter and numerous healthcare organizations have turned the corner to engage in conversations online. For example, health systems such as Henry Ford have begun to broadcast surgeries and answer clinical questions live via Twitter, new communities like WiserTogether have made it easier for patients to share novel practices around specific conditions such as pregnancy, and services such as iGuard have changed the way we think about drug safety. The FDA’s public hearings in November also gave hope that the cloud of regulatory uncertainty would soon be lifted and the Dose of Digital Wiki now lists hundreds of active pharmaceutical social media programs. This session will look back on the impact social media has made across the patient and provider landscape, examining specific examples over the past year, and offer a compelling vision of what the future may hold.
