Example of Twitter Chat Topics • #hcsm Sunday April 29th, 2012 • Topics: • An app a day keeps the doctor away – so what is the ROI for those who create health care apps? • Health literacy is a challenge – and so is digital literacy. As we encourage HCSM, how can we improve literacy (and understanding of privacy and sharing of health info)? • Can SM help increase understanding and ‘compliance’ of discharge instructions (or other HCP orders)? How?
