With close to $40 billion in stimulus funding specifically appropriated for Health IT adoption and a wave of successful initiatives utilizing social media for public health, key decision makers need to understand the full potential social media has to affect positive change for healthcare reform. We already know the Obama Administration believes Social Media offers a low cost way to improve transparency and drive community engagement, and earlier this year we shared Six Ideas where Social Media could be used to ease and improve the HIT integration process. Now, we need to ensure that the right stakeholders join the conversation.
To help educate policy makers and advance the discussion, Ozmosis is co-hosting a Symposium on Thursday, July 16th with Amplify Public Affairs and Clinovations, entitled, "Driving Health IT Through Innovations in Social Media." We have a terrific group of speakers from CDC, FDA, HHS, NIH and the private sector who will demonstrate the success of and lessons learned from existing social media programs in the federal, state and private health sectors.
