#eHealthPromotion, #SaluteSocial

When I became a physician years ago, the idea of telehealth had barely taken hold among doctors or patients. Today, as we bask in the passage of the CHRONIC Care Act of 2017, we’re seeing dozens of use cases in stroke, emergent care, psychiatry and more that underscore telehealth’s potential.

Consumers are becoming increasingly digitally savvy too — and not just the millennials. Today, about one in five adults have tried telehealth — a number which, by all accounts, is expected to grow when new legislation takes effect and removes some of the biggest barriers to adoption. This means physicians will need to consider countless technology choices as they seek establish — or expand — their telehealth programs.

Asl Ospedali Social Media: presentiamo la classifica delle “TOP 5” Aziende Sanitarie e Ospedaliere italiane su Twitter e Facebook. Dal 2013 analizziamo la presenza delle Aziende Sanitarie e degli ospedali nei social media.

Risale infatti al luglio di quell’anno una prima analisi del tema “Asl e ospedali ai tempi di twitter” condotta dal corso di marketing sociale Università di Bologna in collaborazione con FIASO – Federazione Italiana Aziende Sanitarie e Ospedaliere.

Come previsto dalle analisi, twitter ha perso il suo fascino a favore di facebook mentre, a differenza di quanto auspicato, non c’è ancora un utilizzo integrato delle varie piattaforme social (twitter, facebook e youtube).
