Reining in Online Influencers: The Emerging Role of Strangers in
Health Care Decisions
Everyone's an expert online. Armchair doctor
wannabes are doling out diagnoses faster than the time it takes to
update Facebook or post on Twitter. But who's vetting this advice?
When bad information goes viral it not only may be dangerous, it
can also create a huge liability for consumers and healthcare
organizations. In this session, Karen Albritton, President of
Capstrat, Gayle Tuttle Director, Strategic Communications for Blue
Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina and Katie Ratchford of
Carolinas Healthcare will address the idea of crowdsourcing medical
information, the effect it's having on the patient-doctor
relationship and what it could mean for the business of health
care.
