Topics:

A provider violates HIPAA online…what happens? What if a fellow provider sees it? A patient?
If you moved on, would your organization’s digital strategy survive? What will it take for digital/social to be integrated at your org? (For individuals who don’t directly participate in the strategy – would your strategy stay the same if you changed orgs? Would you be able to do what you do elsewhere?)
Can benefits of patients’ SM activity be measured? Should insurers (or employee wellness programs) pay for SM activity?

Topics:

Patients: if HCPs (or orgs) were lurking on SM/social networking sites to learn more about patients, what would you want them to observe/learn/take away? (And providers, when you’re engaging w/ pts or lurking online, what do you hope to learn/observe/take away?)
Next gen HCPs – do they need to be taught HCSM, or is it assumed they know it? And if they know it, will they use it to help pts? What should they “know” about HCSM?
Pts want data.But can all pts process/interpret/deal w/ raw HC data?Does some data need communication to be delivered w/ it?

What’s the difference between mobile health (or #mHealth) and social health?
We all have so much more data @ our fingertips now: providers, HC orgs, and patients alike. How do you deal w/ so much data? (Example – patients can self-track behaviors, symptoms – how do docs deal with that data? How do patients learn to assess, manage that data?)
