Friday, Feb. 1, HIMSS participated in the weekly #HITsm chat around patient engagement and HIMSS13 that will be taking place 10 days from now in New Orleans.
As Chad Johnson notes above, HIMSS13 is not only a convener of healthcare professionals, but a convention of educated patients who share their stories and knowledge to aim toward a better healthcare system. HIMSS13 presents an opportunity for the intersection of patient engagement with adjacent topics like social media , meaningful use and mobility to be more fully realized and discussed.
These tweets are a jumping-off point from where leaders can crowdsource intelligence around a more engaged patient, clinician and healthcare system.

Only 17% of US citizens have access to their data online, but 66% say they'd change MDs for that access, how do we accellerate? #HITsmJan Oldenburg
#HIMSS #HIMSS13 Provider need to understand the Value Proposition for #patientengagment: http://bit.ly/TlntKN #HITsmMary Griskewicz
T1: Patients are craving self-empowerment via education. It's imperative that #hospitals and health systems help facilitate that. #hitsmVocera, Inc.
@DrNanN Also recognize that not all online interactions are PHI ones, so who else in clinic could be involved appropriately. #hitsmRobert Green
T1: A start to increasing participation is going to be MD offices establishing a presence online. Then, drive your patients there. #HITsmErica V. Olenski
@TheGr8Chalupa I am still amazed on how many physicians don't have a website. Frustrating. #HITsmJon Mertz
@jonmertz @TheGr8Chalupa Maybe need to recognize that only real value of the phone book is a booster seat to see over the steering wheel :)Robert Green
T1: Getting docs engaged, pts want #socialmedia in addition to, not instead of, access/communications with their doc #HITsmPhil Chuang
@HealthStandards Patients want to be engaged beyond the office visit. CVCH put #socialmedia to good use: http://ow.ly/hkWgu #HITsmCari McLean
@carimclean @mgriskewicz I think SoMe will make patients more as advocates, connecting with similar communities, more raised voices #HITsmJon Mertz
T1: Adding the clinician's voice/validation to #sm content will def. be a main driver for increasing use, adoption #patientengagement #hitsmJock Putney
@EnterasysHealth 4 Health Care CIOs The Social Media Landscape Is a Ghost Town http://huff.to/WYFInl via @Janicemccallum @2healthguru #HITsmKitterman Marketing
Traditionally #healthcare #CIO’s leverage #tech for patient care. Why aren’t they using twitter? #healthit #hitsm http://huff.to/11m1keoCharles Dowd
T2: terrific post on #meaningfuluse guidelines for #socialmedia in #healthcare http://ow.ly/hkYeW #HITsmKitterman Marketing
Shaping patient attitudes through patient empowerment and assuring security in #sm settings will be key too #patientengagement. #hitsmJock Putney
T1: There must be a stronger focus on a user-friendly design, as well as efforts to overcome #dataprivacy concerns. #HITsmHIT Lab
mHealth becomes even more important for #patientengagement concerning SM. Ppl will be more engaged if they can use it on the go. #hitsmJock Putney
@JockPutney All the cool kids are telling me that patient convenience in health is the new innovation. #mhs12 #HITsmMichael A. Gaspar
@JockPutney Bingo. Tough to talk about #PatientEngagement and efficiency without #mHealth. Definitely one of the keys to the kingdom #hitsmTigerText
T3: #mHealth and more specifically, #QuantifiedSelf is making engagement a real-time event, not just when you're at computer #HITsm #mHIMSSPhil Chuang
T2: See what's worked for others. It's OK to experiment to find out what works. Fail fast, lean/pivot yada, yada. #hitsmLeonard Kish
