In a popularity contest of physician-only social networks, Doximity pulls ahead with 200K users
Au8g,27,2013
by:+Deanna Pogorelc
Oft referred to as LinkedIn for doctors, social networking site Doximity is boasting this week that it’s acquired its 200,000th member. That might not seem like a lot when compared to the 225 million members LinkedIn has signed up, but it’s almost a quarter of the 850,000 actively licensed physicians in the U.S., according to a 2010 census. And it’s more than another physician-only network, Sermo, who claims on its website to have 135,000 members.

What Health Insurance Exchanges Mean for Physicians
Aug,23,2013
by:+Erica Sprey
Congress enacted the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to provide the means for uninsured Americans to purchase healthcare coverage. Despite many legal battles and slipped deadlines, the new healthcare insurance exchanges — also known as marketplaces — will begin open enrollment on Oct. 1, 2013. The law provides for three options: one, where states will create and run their own exchanges; two, where they will create a hybrid exchange run by both the state and federal government; and three, where the federal government creates and runs the exchanges for states that have opted out. Coverage through the plans begins on Jan. 1, 2014

Featured Report: 'Death by a thousand cuts' Hospital execs say Medicaid expansion needed

This Week's Healthcare Online News
Fierce Health Payer
Payers must decide how much data to share with ACO providers
Aug,23,2013
by+Dina Overland
You know how when you go on a first date, you're careful not to divulge too much nitty-gritty information about yourself? Instead, most experienced daters prefer to reveal tidbits of their personal lives slowly, so as not to scare their dates off too early with tales of rough childhoods and embarrassing habits. The key to successful dates and early relationships often is a delicate give-and-take balance of sharing some information, but not too much.

Best Time to Post on Facebook: Use Insights
Aug,16,2013
by+Alice Fuller
At long last! Fan page administrators and marketers can now post content to their fan pages at optimal times without a lot of guesswork. The best time to post on Facebook has been revealed by Facebook itself, thanks to the newest upgrade of Insights. If you don’t have them yet, be patient. It’s coming!
But is this a game changer? Yes! Generally most social media statistics concerning the best times and days to post to the fan page are based on what the EAST coast is doing. Considering most of the US population lives there that’s understandable, but what if the population of your fan page doesn’t live on the east coast? You just had to figure it out on our own or purchase sometimes costly analytical tools.

by:+Chantal Tode
Marketers are increasingly eying cross-device campaigns, with mobile acting as the glue that connects the various elements together to ensure a seamless user experience. However, challenges still exist such as mobile tracking and how to tailor content for each platform.
While interest in cross-device advertising has been around for several years, efforts have taken off in 2013 as consumers increasingly engage with a variety of Internet-enabled devices throughout their day. Marketers are also more eager to funnel a growing portion of their digital budgets to cross-device campaigns because of the strategy’s effectiveness.

25 Reasons to Write a Business Blog
Aug,22,2013
By:+Jim Connolly
Without doubt, business blogging is the most powerful and cost effective marketing tool I have ever encountered. It’s also extremely enjoyable.Here are 25 reasons, why I recommend business blogging to you.
1.Business blogging encourages you to keep learning, so you have something useful to share.

2.Business blogging can generate regular (daily), targeted business leads. The caveat here, is that you need to learn how to write well and how to market your blog.

3.Business blogging is the best way to build a huge, targeted, professional network. You don’t need Linkedin or any other network, when thousands of people already know who you are, exactly what you do and how to contact you.

4.Business blogging allows you to reach people… lots of people, with your message. That’s because blogging scales to infinity. In other words, a post can reach one person or a million people, yet it still takes you the same amount of time to write it.

5. Business blogging is more fun than watching prime-time TV

Would You Use Google+ More If You Knew It Could Help Your Search Rankings?
Aug,20,2013
by:+Chris Crum
Sure, some of you are already using Google+ a lot, and I’m not one to call it a ghost town, but I don’t think many would argue that it doesn’t get the level of use as Facebook. But if you knew for a fact that Google+ could directly help you rank better in Google’s search results, wouldn’t you dedicate more time to it?
It seems like only yesterday that Google was telling us that the +1 button had no direct effect on rankings. Actually, it was in October. “In the short term, we’re still going to have to study and see how good the signal is, so right now, there’s not really a direct effect where if you have a lot of +1s, you’ll rank higher,” Matt Cutts said in a Google Hangout back then.

CMS Grants to Fund Consumer Assistance Services When Buying Insurance

The remaining states are building exchanges on their own with federal funds.

Older patients don’t always understand hospital discharge information
Aug,20,2013
By:+ANDREW M. SEAMAN,
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Older patients may think they understand everything doctors tell them when they are released from the hospital, but a new U.S. study found several gaps in what they remember and areas where instructions could be clearer.
Out of nearly 400 patients discharged from a large academic medical center, 96 percent reported knowing why they had been hospitalized, but only about 60 percent could accurately describe their diagnoses, for instance.

Debate centers on whether exchanges should offer voter registration
Aug,20,2013
by:+ Jessica Zigmond
Policy and election experts are debating whether the new public insurance exchanges should offer voter registration as well as enrollment in health insurance plans. Some say the exchanges are required by federal law to offer voter registration, while others say the law is unclear and that combining voter registration with insurance sign-ups would add major political difficulties to implementing the already-controversial healthcare reform law. The issue could wind up in court.
