Clear Medical Network Announces Social Media Resource for Doctors
Milwaukee, WI, September 01, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Clear Medical Network, an online hub for doctors, nurses, and other healthcare industry professionals today officially announced their latest project, the “Curbside Consult” forum.
Clear Medical Network has recently invested in developing new social media tools to support medical professionals as they seek crowd sourced answers to industry challenges. This new forum is a way for physicians and surgeons to find answers and support easily, safely, and for free, thereby increasing a doctor’s ability to see more patients, achieve better outcomes, and use less time and resources for finding information. Clear Medical Network is managing the forums in a HIPAA compliant manner (with members of the HIM Circle), blinding patient information when appropriate, and finding other ways to keep this a safe, helpful forum for doctors.
With tens of thousands of doctors and hundreds of thousands of nurses on facebook and twitter, social media is quickly becoming the first resource medical providers turn to when facing the demands of a changing industry. The Curbside Consult forum has the power to supply quick answers from their peers and provide a sort of ongoing peer review of resources and ideas that will be needed as the shortage of physicians increases over the next decade.
With almost 4,500 members in two of their physician related forums, Clear Medical Network is well positioned to experiment with using the collective knowledge of physicians on facebook and twitter to help doctors answer questions, share practice techniques, publish links to studies, and other uses as the forum develops.
The first stage of the Curbside Consult platform can be found at http://www.facebook.com/CurbsideConsult
