The Impact of Social Media in Healthcare-Short Paper

 The Impact of Social Media in Healthcare

According to Davenport (2014) social media and health care are collaborating in meeting the needs of health care providers and patients. Social media is taking a step towards focusing on an analytic model to evaluate the value of social media in healthcare. For this assignment you research and investigate the areas of social media that might embrace and benefit from an analytic model combining acquired data and value-based analytics. You will then evaluate the resource addressing the following points:

• Five major      stakeholder roles of social media—patients, physicians (and other      outpatient care), hospitals, payers (employers, health plans), and health      information technology (IT)
• Will      social media improve a practice? How so? Provide a thorough rationale.
• Provide a      conclusion with the main points of the paper.

The paper:

• Must be      two to four double-spaced pages 
• Must use      at least three scholarly sources
