The 179th edition of the Cavalcade of Risk is live now, over at My Personal Finance Journey, with posts from several notable bloggers. I thought this post from David Williams was especially interesting, focusing on social media and healthcare providers: a topic about which basically all providers needs to educate themselves. (And it ties in well with the HealthCare Social Media Review that we’re going to be hosting next week). Social media has enabled all of us – including healthcare providers and their patients – to interact in real time and share information better than ever before. But it also has its downsides, and many people have experienced that sinking feeling of wishing they hadn’t posted something on a social media site. The concerns are exacerbated when patient/doctor confidentiality issues are involved, and David’s post addresses that aspect of healthcare social media. Definitely a good read.
