Building Healthcare Relationships with Web 2.0 Tools

Web 2.0 - you have heard the term but may not know what it is or how it relates to you as a healthcare professional. Recent trends in healthcare demonstrate how global collaboration is changing the way we communicate; not only personally, but with our customer base and employees. Connecting with employees, physicians and consumers takes more than just putting the information on a website. This program discusses how individuals seek out information about disease states, preventive measures, and treatment options; and your need to be a part of it. This 90-minute webcast is presented by the Society for Healthcare Strategy and Market Development of the American Hospital Association on December 3 at 12 Noon CT.
