To doctors and nurses: How are you using social media to communicate?
Via a Twitter update by Paul Gillin, I came across this posting through which I learned that 367 hospitals in the United States of America are now using one or more social media tools to reach out to their patients and other stakeholders.
Recently, I came across a couple of examples:
Example # 1
Ron Dixon, Massachusetts General Hospital:
Example # 2
At St. Luke’s Hospital in Iowa, USA, Twitter was used during surgery to keep, for example, family and friends informed and engaged during the process.
To doctors and nurses reading this: It would be great to hear from you how you are using social media tools to communicate with people.
