Twitter offers the health care community a resource that didn't exist before Twitter. Not only do patients have the ability to connect with providers, but the health care community has been given a new tool to share best practices. We are now able to freely connect with other professionals in the same specialties and learn from each other. In the spirit of collegiality, I have built a health care professionals list for Twitter, LinkedIN, Facebook, etc on http://healthtechnica.com/blogsphere/clinical-medical-users/ The list is over 800 strong and is growing ever day.

Twitter offers a unique view into health care. Personally I feel it is a great tool for patients to connect with national experts on a way that really isn't possible in any other social media system. Not only that, Twitter allows for the collegiality of the health care industry to be greatly enhanced by connecting experts with each other. I have found many many excellent people in my field and now am able to participate in Health IT discussions that were not possible before Twitter. With the value of Twitter in mind, I have created a Health Care Professional's Social Media List here with over 800 health care pros listed so far: http://healthtechnica.com/blogsphere/clinical-medical-users/ I completely agree.
