amednews: Social media the latest tool for health care fraud investigators :: Feb. 28, 2011 ... American Medical News

As social media sites have grown more popular, so has their use by insurance companies that want to know more about the people they insure.

Disability, medical liability and workers' compensation insurers now regularly use Facebook and Twitter to investigate potential fraud, experts say.

And health insurers are using online profiling during the underwriting process. That includes looking at Facebook and Twitter posts or geolocation services such as Foursquare to see where current or prospective members go and what they do, said Owen Tripp, co-founder and chief operating officer of Reputation.com, a Redwood City, Calif.-based firm that helps people and companies monitor and manage their online profiles.

"Insurance companies and representatives of insurance companies are using social media to get an edge on their competition in understanding the risk profile of the insured," he said.

Hospital confronts social media uprising over care of dying baby - The Globe and Mail

One of Canada’s most prestigious medical institutions has made the bold decision to go public with details of a highly emotional tug-of-war over a dying infant in an attempt to defend itself against a slew of threats, condemnations and criticisms playing out in social media.

The case highlights how the emerging influence of viral videos, online campaigns and social networks can quickly damage an organization and force even the most staid institutions to change their communications strategies.

Social Networking - Finding Good Healthcare Information on Social Networking sites

Social networking can help you learn plenty about all aspects of your health care, from prevention, through symptoms and diagnosis, treatment options and disease management.

Social networking is exactly what it sounds like: conversations with others on a casual or social basis. Offline (not on the web) it would be like having lunch with a group of friends, chatting in the coffee shop or even going to a party. Online, through the web, it's a way of carrying on conversations with people you know and people you don't know, but with whom you have mutual interests.

Whereas blogs, wikis and websites are one-way communications (they all talk TO you), social networking sites are for sharing in all directions.

If you've ever chatted through an instant message or participated in a forum or support board (like the one here at patient empowerment or at any of the About.com health websites), then you have already participated in social networking, perhaps without realizing it.

Now there are dozens of social networking websites, built simply to help people carry on conversations with each other. You've probably heard some of their names, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Plaxo, LinkedIn and many others.
