Today's #HealthCareChat - Using CRM Platforms in Healthcare


Today’s #HealthCareChat hosted by @EricDemers (CEO of Accreon) and @nextwaveconnect covered the topic of using Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools and processes in the healthcare space.


Here’s a semi-formatted transcript of the chat – courtesy of @Symplur.

Welcome!

@nextwaveconnect - Hi everyone! Let's give a warm welcome to @EricDemers We'll be discussing the many aspects of #CRM in healthcare

Topic #1: How can healthcare providers use a mix of digital tools for innovative care delivery and patient communications?

@drkdhoffman - Need to be where the people are...#mobile & #smartphones, I think

@awareseniorcare - Innovative tech coming out more and more every day. So many possibilities with mobile as far as patient data and care.

@awareseniorcare - Some apps coordinate care and manage caregiving schedules; only issue is working out the privacy concerns.

@rtoleti - People are addicted to their #smartphones. We have to meet them there

@ericdemers - Actively engaging providers and patients through mobile devices can improve the patient experience.

@carey_smith - All relevant info, such as patient encounters, care team notes, clinical results, etc, can be accessed in one location.

@visionwaremdm - Agree w/.@rtoleti 2 meet them where they are. ppl are also addicted to TV, healthcare needs to get into their living rooms!

@awareseniorcare - @Carey_Smith Possibility for true interoperability if managed/coordinated correctly.

@carey_smith - Agreed @rtoleti. Personalized communications when and where patients are.

@thenerdynurse - @AwareSeniorCare the apps need to be HIPAA compliant to work with patient data. Plain and simple. No HIPAA complaince no go

@steven_paul - <3 the idea of #PateintEducation between appointments. This is a big help for new parents and those with young children.

Topic #2: What is a #CRM and how can it help break down silos and integrate information?

@ericdemers - CRM integrates all your organization's data sources to create a single, holistic view of each patient.

@ericdemers - CRM and EHR functionality are merging with the potential for greatly enhanced customer service.

@visionwaremdm - #CRM = relationships. Know your customers, their relationships, likes, dislikes. oddly enough it's like dating

@awareseniorcare - @TheNerdyNurse There's always a "Wild West" side that needs to be tamed, for sure. Just because you doesn't mean you should

@thenerdynurse - CRMs could smash through the walls if all (that need to) have access. Often only certain people get these cool tools :(

@visionwaremdm - .@ericdemers absolutely big caveat is accuracy though. #CRM's lifeline = data accuracy. https://t.co/vR8VgYX3Se

@steven_paul - #CRM bring fast and effective organization to Patient management. Sorry manilla folders....I'm seeing someone else.

Did you miss yesterday's #HealthITChicks tweetchat? Here's a formatted transcript


The #HealthITChicks tweetchat always produces some good insight into a wide variety of healthcare information technology and related topics. Yesterday's chat hosted by Dr. Geeta Nayyar (@gnayyar) was no exception.  For those who may not have participated - and for those who did participate and would like a recap - I have culled out select tweets and arranged them by topic.

Let’s Get this Chat Started!

@gnayyar - Welcome to the chat! Let’s take a few minutes to introduce ourselves.

@gnayyar - I’m Dr. Geeta Nayyar, Chief Healthcare and Innovation Officer, @TopLineMD, and Huff Post Blogger.

@gnayyar - I also serve as Ass. Clinical Prof. of Medicine, Dept. of Rheumatology FIU & GW

@cmaer - By the way - in case we get any cross-pollination in competing chats today - #HITChicks meet #hcsmca - #hcsmca meet #HITChicks

T1: What New Apps Are On Your Radar?

@gnayyar - “Uber for healthcare” seems to be all the rage. What new apps are on your radar?

@virtualdbgal - Definite app that I'm liking is @carezone for linking caregivers and patients. https://t.co/5eEOSKn0Sy

@erinewold - Any app that will allow patients to own their data and interaction with their hc provider! #Telemedicine https://t.co/XiJ39Ic0rZ

@nxtstop1 - T1 For MT @gnayyar: “Uber for healthcare” seems to be all the rage. What new apps are on your radar? ”

@mmaxwellstroud - Oh dear. I am so tired of "Uber for X"...

@daniellebyron - Skywriter MD service just came across my inbox. Interesting combo of high tech and old fashioned medical transcribers

@drstclaire - A1: #mHealth apps that integrate into the industry will be the most transformational. @CocoonCam looks promising :)

@jenndennard - SanFran-based @circlemd and their app seems interesting - house calls with full-time MDs (and they travel to appts via Uber!)

@btrfly12 - I've been working with @intakeme - product launch coming this fall.

@katmcdavitt - uber-style healthcare apps will gain momentum @chrissyfarr summed up the hc switching economy last week http://t.co/ZqzsOpRGbQ

@pattyldickerson - A1: I'm watching Yelp now that it includes hospital, post-acute data

@greg_meyer93 - Personal fav is still #iBlueButton. And hats off to @BettinaExperton for her mention in Forbes this week! http://t.co/63dGBTYWe9

@sarahbennight - #1 struggling to find something that really works for me. The apps are very manual for now. Using Mango to remind me of my meds

@mmaxwellstroud - #carecoordination going to be big with the introduction of bundled payments...the question is who will get it right

@ehrandhit - What will it take for doctors to be excited about Uber style healthcare apps? Could it fill in cancelled appointments?

@erinewold - T1: I would app where I can take pictures on my phone of wound/injury & auto upload to my patient portal for my physician to see

@ebacon - I’m a rare Uber naysayer. How on earth can we guarantee safety & quality in *healthcare* from a peer/sharing economy perspective?

@mmaxwellstroud - One option we have been working on for #Carecoordination is @PinpointCare

@healthcora - @ehrandhit If it empowers providers, promotes efficiency, aligns with incentives... doctors will get on-board

@dkasim - @ehrandhit something needs to make it easier for #patients to make appts without long phone times

@healthcora - @techguy Drop-off for #wearables and #patientengagement feels high to me; are we using the right psychology?

@gnayyar - How do you engage beyond apps and patient portals?

@mmaxwellstroud - I worry that with the focus on interop and HIEs and #BigData that we forget that some users are still working on accurate data

@ebacon - The only meaningful “engagement” is to ignite intrinsic motivators. D. Pink says that’s autonomy - mastery - meaning.

@pattyldickerson - I still use the standard day of week pill box to help me keep track @techguy @sarahbennight

@janicemccallum - Will most apps be acquired or die? Accenture thinks so. See Zombie Startups report: https://t.co/iiGUIqhG7J

@nxtstop1 - Nursing Homes, Next:rate #telemedicine services @Yelp MT @PattyLDickerson: A1:watch Yelp now>includes hospital, postacute data ”

@ehrandhit - Is that naysaying or being realistic? In healthcare we need more vetting than they do w/ drivers. http://t.co/TJz1NMduYm

@emaginekrystal - T1: THe IDdx app looks interesting. It helps diagnose difficult infectious diseases in patients.

@ebacon - Until all co’s truly support what UX means in practice (research, design, validation) then dhealth's UX will be THE issue

@techguy - I like the pill bottle that knows when you took the pill, but that's expensive and still not seamless. https://t.co/FGuAaF3tcH

@mmaxwellstroud - Engaging patients is not about software. It's about relationships, and communication

@jmcelio - .@gnayyar #UX is definitely an issue; what's intuitive to a millennial may not be intuitive to a senior

@techguy - The challenge was that it wasn't providing ongoing value to my wife. So, she stopped. True for many apps https://t.co/f6uBbbFfDM

@cnluken - @healthcora I recently signedUp 4 @patientslikeme! Been SUPER excited 2 start using it, just havent found the time yet

@healthcora - @DanielleByron @JennDennard @gnayyar Yes! Apps aren't just for patients but their advocates & medical reps

@mmaxwellstroud - When a software solution works correctly, it is part of the background, and the provider/patient relationship is in focus

@lynnthinksbig - @JennDennard @gnayyar Definitely see UX as a huge component of participation with all groups but especially seniors

@ehrandhit - I think we need to solve interoperability for the peer healthcare economy to happen. http://t.co/34ESGCsq1l

@healthcora - @katmcdavitt @gnayyar Uber knows about all of my rides in any city; my Dr. doesn't always know I went to the ER in the same city

@jmcelio - If patient portal is app-based, makes info & HCP access that much more portable and efficient https://t.co/dkj4CWBb5V

@ehrandhit - Online banking wasn't a criteria either forever, but then it became a defacto standard. http://t.co/auEdY9vVzn

@cdntcs_atlanta - @gnayyar But many people don't always know what choices they're deciding between. Tools to promote transparency are needed too.

@jmcelio - .@healthcora @gnayyar - @startweaving is a great app for professional matchmaking - it led me to my new job!

@jenndennard - @jslentzclifton Yep, the name of the husband/wife-led text-based app for mental health issues escapes me. Big room for potential!

@gnayyar - My FitBit is always with me. https://t.co/tew7lAoXuO

T2: How do you see different generations (millennials, seniors, etc.) embracing digital health? Is #UX an issue?

@gnayyar - Next topic, shall we? How do you see different generations(millennials, seniors, etc.) embracing digital health? Is #UX an issue?

@healthcora - @gnayyar I've noticed how freely millenials give their data. Big opportunities in #healthdata & #bigdata, less focus on #privacy

@drstclaire - .@gnayyar @XeroxHealthcare #EHR survey revealed boomers like digital for logistics, while millennials enjoy convenience, access

@greg_meyer93 - T2: Absolutely. I still hate Instagram vs Facebook. UX still kills me. Call me gramps. #HITChicks.

@daniellebyron - @gnayyar Seniors are tech savy - just avoid that tiny font #UX

@consanomolly - T2: I think it's a different learning curve for each generation -- more education necessary if you haven't always "known" tech

@drstclaire - More information on generational differences here! https://t.co/ti55DVwJXk

@sarahbennight - T2: My dad is a senior with a chronic degenerative disease. He won't embrance tech at all. He just shows up for doc appts.

@gnayyar - Millennials & technology are changing the way patients & Drs. interact - 71% of millennials would like their Dr. to use an app

@nursenadeen - Topic 2 Millenials will be doc shopping and doing pre-appt. research more than prev. generations did 4 sure @billians

@nxtstop1 - T2 MT @gnayyar: How do you see different generations(millennials, seniors, etc.) embracing digital health? Is #UX an issue? #HITchicks”

@emaginekrystal - T2: My father is pretty well! He is eager to learn the "latest and greatest" w/ technology. But some have a hard time.

@jenndennard - @gnayyar Thought it was interesting, tho that millenials also aren't totally averse to developing in-person relationship with PCP

@pattyldickerson - A2: Convenience for millennials seems to coincide with accessibility... don't need to see doctor face to face.

@erinewold - T2:Younger gen by far embrace digital health. But I think the lack of education all around has done disservice 2 digital health.

@gnayyar - 60% of millennials support the use of telehealth options https://t.co/wkao3BDVpR

@emaginekrystal - T2 Cont: I like to help seniors learn new Digital Health apps. Some like to learn them!

@mightycasey - A2: Desire for relationship w/clinical team comes w/need. IOW, if you're healthy, convenience trumps relationship.

@gnayyar - What about this stats? 71% of millennials would like their Dr. to use an app

@pattyldickerson - Accessibility outside the office is key! MT @gnayyar 60% of millennials support the use of telehealth options

@lesliebrownatl - T2: As a millennial, I like the idea of having healthcare right when I need it, wherever I am. Drs being connected is ideal!

@mightycasey - A2: All it takes is one cancer, or epic-chronic, dx and you're ALL ABOUT relationship w/clinical partners, no matter your age.

@cnluken - @JennDennard @gnayyar I think that as the millennials start getting older, this will change. settle down-buy house-find close PCP

@nxtstop1 - T2 The issue w/ app uptake is developers working in vacuum>WITHOUT end users~The Best VCs complain re not answering pain points

@ebacon - Demographic divides aren’t as important as users' GOALS - shared goals tends to mean shared behaviors, thus feeding proper UX

@nxtstop1 - T2 When developers simply "divining" apps w/out intimately knowing the probs/pain points 2B addressed=recipe for 30 day wonder!

@mightycasey - A2: bottom line, most peeps think healthcare happens "over there" to "sick people," not to them. Another mind-shift.

@jmcelio - Yes, I helped a 6 y.o. address an envelope - he wrote the address on the very top. Makes sense, right? :) https://t.co/0JysgN316v

T3: What have you taken away from the #ilooklikeanengineer / #ilooklikeasurgeon / #ilooklikeaurologist movements?

@gnayyar - Ready for Topic 3? What have you taken away from the #ilooklikeanengineer / #ilooklikeasurgeon #ilooklikeaurologist movements?

@lesliebrownatl - T3: Our appearances are different, but each of our brains is as capable as the next. #ilooklikanengineer

@jmcelio - You're absolutely right, and THAT is a shame! Still rely so much on patient self-report & self-caremgmt https://t.co/dReNzR6fdv

@pattyldickerson - A3: I think these campaigns #Ilooklikeanengineer / #Ilooklikeasurgeion / etc.. are showing that we are making progress.

@healthcora - Loved seeing enthusiasm for careers in the #STEMfem & #HITchicks community; we're happy doing this work @gnayyar https://t.co/K2P6RYKU3W

@drstclaire - A3: I'm proud of the industry's #diversity, but wish we didn't still need to have the conversation. #ILookLikeAnEngineer

@jslentzclifton - T3 Seeing representation of folks like you make it seem more possible to achieve. Digging the msg!

@pattytsheridan - Q3: I love it! Women in STEM! http://t.co/ALt0ghyF9r

@dkasim - I look like my own #caremanager and do the same for my #parents - knew I should have gone to med school ? https://t.co/f8pTLXYzET

@erinewold - A3:these campaigns help break the stereotypes that have been built around each and opens conversation about each

@nursenadeen - T3 I think these movements help women to connect and raise global awareness..don't let up!! @gnayyar @billians

@nxtstop1 - T3 MT @gnayyar: What have you taken away from the #ilooklikeanengineer / #ilooklikeasurgeon #ilooklikeaurologist movements? #HITchicks”

@drstclaire - Many of my colleagues joined in #ILookLikeAnEngineer: http://t.co/1cO1UZBhVM

@pattytsheridan - @jslentzclifton The representation is good but more diversity needed in the messaging and images

@emaginekrystal - T3: Fighting stereotypes in STEM fields is interesting #ilooklikeanengineer. The others I'll admit I have to do more research on.

@mightycasey - A3: One could be forgiven for motion sickness induced by "no women!" "too many women!" headlines re tech industry, IMO.

@gnayyar - Are you tapping other women in healthcare as mentors? Men? Who do you rely on?

@ebacon - T3: Like @drstclaire, I’m pretty depressed that we’re still having this conversation about different yet equal….

@emaginekrystal - T3 Cont: It is sparking great concern for Tech diversity!

@mightycasey - A3: I know PLENTY of women coders, developers, engineers, working their a$es off in many industries. Too busy to tub-thump.

@nxtstop1 - T3 The hashtags for women in various fields/metier ie engineers,surgeons ,all #STEM esp when the minority > marvelous outreach

@mightycasey - A3: Key is to make sure girls are encouraged to play with tool-toys at earliest age they want to. [yay Target, BTW]

@healthcora - @gnayyar Depends on the subject matter. For professional development, I go right to thought leaders & set up coffee chats

@nxtstop1 - T3 The #ILookLikeASurgeon was supported by so many male surgeons> both in positions "above" & " below" in "hierarchy~affirming!

@sarahbennight - I tap into all of the #HITchicks who inspire me every day :) Esp. @ErinEWold @JennDennard @MandiBPro and #HITbros https://t.co/Vr1oTqQiH2

@mightycasey - A3: Anyone else here WAY more interested in hardware store vs. shoe store? << Guilty as charged. ~ Signed, Power Tool Maven

@gnayyar - Great #HITchicks to tap! https://t.co/casewYJlvX

@nxtstop1 - Me too> love it MT @jslentzclifton: T3 Seeing representation of folks like U make it seem more possible to achieve.Dig the msg! #hitchicks”

@jslentzclifton - Been supported by men & women fortunately, but resonates more when another woman props you (me) up for some reason. Shares exp?

@pattyldickerson - I've had to find mentors outside my roles/ organizations. Haven't worked at to many places with structured mentorship programs.

@nxtstop1 - @gnayyar A huge point. Our nation & world is significantly lessened by lack of parity of women...w/parity>A MUCH better world imo

@mightycasey - A3: I pioneered in engineer role in a male-dominated industry (net TV) in early '80s. Show up, stay fierce. That's the ticket.

@drstclaire - T3: The definition of a leader may need to change. Pounding the table & speaking loudly isn't always leadership.

@emranswers - @gnayyar Resume, experience, references speak for themselves----with #HITChicks the entire process requires backup. = more time = $

@nxtstop1 - Prob Never MT @drstclaire: T3: The definition of a leader>change. Pounding the table & speaking loudly isn't always leadership.”

@mightycasey - In re leadership, follow "keep showing up" rule. We may not get in on the 1st try, or even the 20th. Be un-ignorable, present.

T4: How have you seen social media tools evolve alongside digital health? Any favorites?

@gnayyar - Time for topic 4 already: How have you seen social media tools evolve alongside digital health? Any favorites?

@lesliebrownatl - T4: Yelp has started to give hospital ER wait times and experiences/reviews

@nxtstop1 - Plans 2 Rate #Telemedicine Re #EHR connect/antibiotic MT @LeslieBrownATL: T4: @Yelp gives hospital ER wait times & exp/reviews

@pattyldickerson - A4: I like mapmyrun, fitbit, and garmin connect that use social media to connect with your friends/co-workers on fitness goals.

@gnayyar - Parents are more likely to seek medical answers online: 22% use Facebook and 20% use YouTube source: @Mashable

@pattytsheridan - Q4 Social media in digital health doesn't seem 2 include interoperability. Many great apps but not seeing them all work together.

@btrfly12 - T4 Rise of health-related twitter communities! :) @symplur #gyncsm #patientchat

@btrfly12 - T4 There are a ton of Facebook patient communities as well.

@pattytsheridan - Q4. I have lost interest in many of the apps first to market. What is the next great app for health management?

@virtualdbgal - Healthcare org leaders need to hold EHR vendors accountable in providing true interop solutions. https://t.co/enkrEvlFXO

@gnayyar - True! A recent study found 41% of people said social media would affect their choice of a specific Doc https://t.co/9HxpeS5VVh

@pattytsheridan - @VirtualDBGal Are EHR vendors even thinking beyond acute care and physician offices?

@nursenadeen - T4 I like #ChildhoodCancer and what @jhgivingback is doing globally around telehealth http://t.co/M6btPmzrqG @jslentzclifton

@pattyldickerson - Social media integral to the research phase of the decision process, just now includes healthcare decision making @gnayyar

@mightycasey - @jslentzclifton @nxtstop1 @ckraemerPR @gnayyar Inconvenient truth: most industry-side data holders are SELLING deIDed pt data.

@lygeia - Use of social media generally can help bridge gender gaps in healthcare. Women use more than men http://t.co/2sXEh4KCgC

T5: It’s no secret women make majority of family HC decisions. How have you acted as a decision-maker lately?

@gnayyar - Topic 5: It’s no secret women make majority of family HC decisions. How have you acted as a decision-maker lately?

@lesliebrownatl - T5: Quick story: Dr confirmed with husband he was getting fasting labs, his response: "Idk I was just told to be here." :P

@pattyldickerson - A5: Yes, especially for me and husband. Have also become "influencer" for parents healthcare decisions.

@ebacon - A5: I think “woman as CEO of the household” for healthcare is about being primary secretary/scheduler vs. sole decision-maker

@sarahbennight - T5-Helping my mom take care of my dad with Parkinsons. And CMO of my own family. :)

@gnayyar - The good news is that the majority of women, over 65%, fully trust their physician. source: Harvard Business Review

@cnluken - T5: finding a new doc after looking thru apt notes on patient portal. Dont think the DR knew i could C what a mess the notes were #HITchicks

@katmcdavitt - I make all medical decisions for my family of four. It's a little scary sometimes!

@nxtstop1 - T5 After certain age (into adulthood)much less sway re healthcare direction/decisions regarding my family,ppl do what they want

@janicemccallum - T5: Been working w my mom to write down her #EOL wishes for her MOLST form. Not easy, esp given the way options are listed.

@btrfly12 - T5 hubs just sent all info to me re: his new job and picking health plan

@lygeia - T5: I scheduled eye exams 4 my child & husband--& got them fitted out w/glasses

@lesliebrownatl - Yep. Hubs got a yearly enrollment notice in mail. It should have been addressed to me, lol. MT @btrfly12 T5 hubs just sent all

@jslentzclifton - T5 Latest decision as healthcare HOH = pursuit of wellness: we joined the Y. Does that count? lol

Miscellaneous Tweets (Not entirely sure what topic these applied to)

@btrfly12 - When Startups Take on Gender Inequality, Women and Girls Win https://t.co/LmIYZ5gX0F via @pointsoflight

@gnayyar - Those who are engaged as decision-makers in their care tend to be healthier and have better outcomes

@dkasim - #startups need to remember proof of #ROI #scalability to get #payers on board - they are the ones with the $

@gnayyar - Yes! Those who are engaged as decision-makers in their care tend to be healthier and have better outcomes https://t.co/JXqDS5Mop9

@ehrandhit - In fact, why should we be scheduling appointments mostly by phone still anyway? http://t.co/tMuR1XV266

@dkasim - Wish specialists who are notorious for running over schedule would do same! https://t.co/Ojpvew0mFE

@gnayyar - Those who are engaged as decision-makers in their care tend to be healthier and have better outcomes https://t.co/KF9QV14PzT

@jenndennard - @MightyCasey You'll enjoy this article: http://t.co/nx3FFJifKF

@ehrandhit - Such a good point. Lesson: You don't have to have all the data to provide value. http://t.co/932kWc2SUm

@greg_meyer93 - Will give props to @ReginaHolliday and the #BlueButton movement. Intertwined? Maybe https://t.co/9azRfDEN56

@ebacon - @gnayyar @drstclaire At our co, lots of women in strategy but excessive reliance on anecdotes & echo chamber means UX suffers

@ckraemerpr - Who knows more about your history- Uber or your MD? Join the #HITchicks tweet chat with @gnayyar

@ehrandhit - Twitter has a community for every chronic disease: http://t.co/w43rswnbYx http://t.co/vB5xShSSUR

@ehrandhit - @Pattytsheridan @drstclaire I believe the next big mobile health innovation will be about packaging of other's innovations.

There’ a Few in Every Crowd!

@mswz - Yikes to the hashtag choice, folks. #HITCHICKS? @gnayyar @TopLineMD

@dkasim - @gnayyar #engagement is a #science and #art that #HIT can enable but not lead

@mightycasey - @JennDennard A-F***ING-MEN, baby. I hate pink. Truth be told, don't love blue much either. GREEN and PURPLE. Now we're talkin' =)

@jenndennard - I can't even keep up with the #HITchicks chat - @gnayyar is doing fab job + so many smart #healthIT peeps chiming in!

@jenndennard - @MMaxwellStroud @LynnThinksBig @MightyCasey So ... any company out there want to sponsor the #HIMSS16 #HITchicks shirts?

@greg_meyer93 - In male terms, we call this guy a genius. :) https://t.co/TeVG3PXRGV

@lynnthinksbig - @MMaxwellStroud @JennDennard @MightyCasey Really digging this t-shirt idea! Must have! We should do it!

@jenndennard - @MMaxwellStroud @LynnThinksBig @MightyCasey I think we officially had 50 last year, plus a few more non-registered

Select Tweets from Day 1 of the IHT2 Health IT Summit in Seattle, WA

Photo credit: http://ihealthtran.com/seattle/seattlehome
The 2015 IHT2 Health IT Summit began today in Seattle, WA.  As is often the case, some of the attendees shared some information, insight and ideas via Twitter.  This post contains what I thought were some of the interesting tweets. Special thanks to Paulo Machado (aka @pjmachado) and Andy De (@HITStrategy) for their copious tweets.

Introduction


@iht2 Welcome to Seattle! We're so happy to see you! Share your experience by using the hashtag!
 

@hitstrategy “Why is demand in #healthcare a crisis while demand in any other industry an opportunity”?
 

@hitstrategy The Triple Aim for #Healthcare - an intuitive framework being adopted 4 #populationhealth mgmt! http://t.co/181AL9G2A0
 

@hitstrategy Does HC know #patients as well as #retailers know #customers?! http://t.co/5UnwAtTwZ2
 

@hitstrategy Customers and Patients are drivers of change and empowerment in HC!
 

@pjmachado In US, focus on improving #health is via #medical interventions-need to focus on social issues-food etc

@hitstrategy “Crawl, Walk, Run” with the flexibility to course correct will assure success vs. ‘big bang’!
 

Policy Matters

@pjmachado Public policy needs to be aligned with #health - current policy supports unhealthy lifestyles & status quo #healthcare delivery
 

@pjmachado Public policy is now being influenced by the 
#digitalhealth data that is emerging-will take awhile
 

@pjmachado Full #healthcare data transparency & liquidity is critical & LONG way off for consumers & providers! Need policy & aligned incentives!
 

Analytics & Big Data
 

@hitstrategy “A 360 degree view of the Patient” in the current state is necessary before taking on predictive analytics” 
 

@hitstrategy Clinical Decision Support + Analytics enables 'correction of Care Delivery at the Point of Care', hence critical 2 #pophealth
 

@hitstrategy Is #healthanalytics the #CIO secret sauce 2 drive ROI from their #healthIT investments? http://t.co/5MfSf9Wy0X
 

@hitstrategy 360 view of #Patients & socio economic needs critical but not provided by #EMRs today - more needed 4 #pophealth mgmt
 

@hitstrategy “Data should be freed from silos and pushed out to users; they should not have 2 struggle 2 pull data they need”!
 

@hitstrategy Bringing #bigdata analytics 2 Docs, Nurses & Clinicians at the Point-of-Care (POC) is key to quality outcomes
 

@hitstrategy Segmentation done well, delivers measurable results for #retail & for #populationhealth mgmt! #bigdata http://t.co/5UnwAtTwZ2
 

@pjmachado Amazing shift from data paucity to data abundance in the last decade! Can't improve what you can't measure!
 

@hitstrategy Best Practice:Self Service Analytics at Nursing Unit level drives Quality Outcomes at NY Presbyterian http://t.co/JVAZ7EmkaZ
 

@hitstrategy Best Practice: BI+Analytics key to lowering LOS - check out Piedmont HC case study http://t.co/dJIrmBkyTe

An IT Guy's Take on Why Your Social Media Efforts are Not Paying Off

Over the years I’ve had many opportunities to see the social media presence of small and large companies evolve over time. Whether right off the bat or slowly over time, some companies really get the basics and have developed what appears to be a meaningful presence. Other companies, not so much.

The following are some quick, off the cuff reasons and ideas as to why I think some company’s social media presence on Twitter is not all it could be.

No Hashtag or Wrong Hashtag

They don’t use hashtags or they use less than optimal tags. There are plenty of tools to help you determine a good hashtag to use. Here’s an article on How to Find the Best Twitter Hashtags

Tweet is Too Long

Tweets are often times too long and the length makes it a hassle or impossible to RT. Suggest keeping your tweet to no more than 110-120 characters long at the most. A person shouldn’t have to play with your tweet and perform major editing to get it to fit the 140 character limit.

Little Interaction

The team rarely responds to those who RT or tweet at their account. Even a “Thanks for the RT” or “Thanks for sharing/commenting” can help promote the brand. And many almost never 'engage' by responding to a direct tweet; even if to just say "I agree" or "Tell me more."

No Participation in Tweetchats

I don’t see any participation in tweetchats. There are lots of chats that could be used to promote just about any brand, learn about any topic and/or share any information, ideas or opinions.

Not Leveraging Influencers

I don’t see much – or any - content from influencers being shared. And I don’t see many influencers sharing or referencing their content.


No Pictures or Graphics

It’s been proven over and over that tweets with an image get more attention and RT’s than those without an image. There are plenty of sites that offer free and low-cost images. Suggest using them.
 

Lack of Useful Content

They don’t often share content that can actually help people – I think the “How to” and “Top 10 things” type tweets are good and I don’t often see these types of content emitting from many accounts. Companies should be developing and sharing content about their industry, helping others understand key issues and topics a person in their industry needs to be aware of, etc.

One Size Does NOT Fit All

I don’t think they differentiate the content for different 'end users.' A customer or prospect is way different than a Thought Leader which is way different than an Employer HR Person which is way different than a vendor or possible business partner.
