Helping bridge the trust gap between healthcare and social media.

Medicine and Social Media :Can patients change physician behavior? “Traditional heart surgery has always been a mixed blessing,” Murphy says. “Sure, it’s life-saving, but it takes you two or three months to recover. The heart recovers in a couple of hours. But the body takes much longer. With robotic surgery, the patient is out of the hospital in less than half the time and recovered in three weeks. I’m talking back to playing golf or tennis.”Why isn’t robotic cardiac surgery already the treatment of choice? Murphy estimates that it takes 100 cases to learn to perform it efficiently, and there’s no immediate financial incentive to do that since the reimbursement is the same. Yet another example that makes you scratch your head. Your thoughts? NTEN Webinar Reflections and Resources: The Unanticipated Benefits of Content Curation. Yesterday, I did a free NTEN Webinar called “The Unanticipated Benefits of Content Curation: Reducing Information Overload” based on my feature article in the NTEN Change Journal in June with the same title.

(You can register and download the issue here for free and listen to the webinar recording here) The main idea is that good curation skills can build staff expertise and avoid the pain of information overload. I covered the basics of content curation, how it differs from social sharing, the art and practice of curation, a frameworks to get started, examples of nonprofits using curation, the tools, and some techniques for minimizing information overload and managing attention. I pulled together a curated summary of the tweets and resources on Storify that you can view here. With over 600 people registered for the Webinar, it was hard to answer all the questions as the chat stream just flew by and the 90 minutes was up before we knew it.

A good curator also knows their audience. Teens Hate Twitter. Broadcast Yourself.
