HealthCare Social Media Review—19th edition

This edition of HealthCare Social Media Review focuses on some light themes in honor of the plethora of holidays falling at this time of year—shedding light on myths about online and social media behavior, turning the light switch on a new online physician community, illuminating thoughts on social media, mHealth and medicine, and more.

Here are some highlights from this week's edition:

• A new survey coauthored by (among others) fellow tweeps and bloggers Brian McGowan and Bryan Vartabedian finds that one in four docs uses social media daily .
• Looking back on 2012 and peering into the future, Kevin Campbell offers some illuminating thoughts about social media, mHealth, and medicine .
• David Harlow recently spoke with Barbara Ficarra about clinicians lighting up online ; check out her post on the subject.
• The story about physicians on Twitter has jumped the shark—it's not on a blog; it's in the LA Times, but it contains a boatload of references back to the blogerati and Twitterati of health care, so I suppose it merits a link.
• These days, when we think about hospitals and physicians, we often think of Accountable Care Organizations. Gregg Masters blogged about the role of social media in ACO development after hosting the #HITsm tweetchat where the issue came up.
