The following is a guest blog post by Steve Sisko (@ShimCode). Thanks to Steve for putting in all the time and effort to collect and analyze last week’s chat in preparation for this week’s chat.
Last week, the Health Information Technology Social Media (HITsm) tweet chat hosted by Jared Jeffery @Jk_Jeffery challenged participants to share their ideas on the Top 10 Technology Services & Products for Healthcare Stakeholders. Forty-six participants shared over 500 tweets on six topics supporting the theme of the tweetchat.
In an effort to explore new ways of leveraging the wisdom of the crowd, the information, insight and ideas shared by the 46 tweetchat participants has been culled, sorted and summarized. This summary and supporting detail is intended to provide the basis for the next #HITsm chat on Friday, July 20th.
