Health care companies, institutions and providers can contribute to these conversations about health by tapping into their knowledge, expertise and relationships they have with other experts -- or so I believe. Adam,

Great thoughts — I agree about the patient being at the center of the hub and I think you hit upon how people can use social media to manage their health care needs. Health care companies, institutions and providers can contribute to these conversations about health by tapping into their knowledge, expertise and relationships they have with other experts — or so I believe.

It certainly seems the progression of medicine is toward a much more patient centric care model. Think the hub and spoke model, where the patient sits at the middle and the spokes are the doctors, researchers, other patients with similar conditions, etc. That, to me, sounds very much like an opportunity for social media to play a big role. In actually engaging those people that, collectively, comprise a patient's care team and support structure. Who will ultimately own that, I don't know. But I can't help but think there's a huge opportunity for someone. Just a thought around how social media can impact and help health care and health systems.
