Welcome to the first post that I’ll be writing to help friends and colleagues at CIHC understand the power, scope and potential of social media.

I am working on finishing a document right now called “Social Media 101: A simple guide to understanding how to utilize and interact with the CIHC Blog, Facebook, Twitter and RSS Feeds.”

It’s a catchy name, I know.

That document will be available here on the Blog, too, but I think that it’s important for friends and colleagues to see some of the true visionaries of our time discuss these ideas.

I believe that these documents and videos will help us to further develop our approach to using social media tools to improve interprofessional collaboration and increasingly put the patient first.

If you have not yet watched Dr Jennifer Gardy’s amazing TEDx Terry lecture on Health Care in the 21st Century then that’s an excellent place to start.

Please comment below with any questions or suggestions that you may have.
