The folks at East Tennessee Medical News were kind enough to ask me to write a brief overview on the potential role of social and digital media in medical practices. It is now in the latest issue and online.
It works as a companion piece to a nice story by Bridget Garland about Wellmont Health System’s award-winning use of Facebook in their practice in upper-East Tennessee.
How about you? Do you use social media to help find medical advice or even to select a physician? I’d be curious to learn how you use online resources to manager your health care tasks and chores. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
Though I am tempted to launch into my decennial argument that the decade doesn’t end until we reach 2011, everyone is already starting to put out retrospective lists of the current decade.
