This Week In Health Innovation

At HiMSS 2015 in Chicago, Illinois last Spring we chatted with a number of top CIOs, Chief Innovation Officers, CMIOs and other clinicians in thought leadership roles at major healthcare systems and enterprises around the country. In this session we speak with author, physician and social media early adopter Jordan Grumet, MD (follow via @JordanGrumet). Dr. Grumet brings home the social media imperative as a tool to humanize the clinical encounter whether virtual or in real time via an increase sense of 'earned intimacy'. Dr. Grumet speaks to the following questions: What's driving the adoption of social media?How would you characterize the current state of social media practice at most healthcare orgainzations?Who do you see modeling 'best practices' in social media?Are you hopeful or pessimistic for the utility of this emerging medium?What excites you about the future?Is the introduction of social media tools a net positive or negative for our industry?
