Topics:

    1. Should there be SM elements built into EMRs? Would that help increase adoption, or not? What are the risks? Benefits?
    2. SM is about relevance – relevant to you is not always relevant to others. W/ that in mind, is there ‘wrong’way to use HCSM?
    3. Speaking of search & social media: We know hashtag communities work :) , but do keywords in tweets matter? Do patients/ppl use search within social media sites?

    1. Today, man jumped from space. What kind of jump/attention will it take for SM use in HC to make it to true masses? Discuss.
    2. For T1, many said “dollar factor” needed – what about the attention factor? There has been an increase in dialogue among pts & providers in HCSM – does this translate to increased changes in HC? Example – does amount of dialogue influence outcomes of HCR’s fate, or impact role of HC in elections?
    3. 2013 planning probably already in progress. What kind of investment & integration do you think we’ll see in HC with SM next year?
