What a Difference Nine Months Make in Social Media/Healthcare #kpragan

Wanted to give a sense of perspective as we're talking about social media in healthcare.

At the Kaiser Garfield Center again, the first time I was here was last October for my second Healthcamp. The first one was in Toronto barely a month before, a day prior to Medicine 2.0 and I'm amazed by the difference a little more than half a year later makes in the healthcare social media space. 

I'm amazed, now there's @kpthrive, @kpnewscenter, @kpgarfield and most everyone at the Ragan Healthcare Communicator's Summit are on Twitter. There's a lot of talk about multi-channel communications, being authentic, using video, YouTube, Facebook, RSS. 

Healthcare has more than a toe in the water now, excited to be part of what's happening. What can be done to get information out to keep people healthy is just starting. Can't wait to see where we are in another nine months.
