Presentation from NHS Transformathon. Social media tools are developing at pace and offer many ways to bring about change in health and care. This session provides a snapshot of the global work of innovators, clinicians, patients and digital collaborators who have shared their learning online and explored the possibilities to improve patient care.
Innovation happens through connecting ideas and people. Social media enables connection at scale, pace and by flattening hierarchies. The presenters offer their different narratives of change, how this resonates with their communities and highlight analytics that can be used. This is a whistle stop tour of social media innovation which starts with a simple idea and develops to healthcare change with impact.
