Social networking allows doctors, nurses and other health professionals to deeply connect and engage with the community and their colleagues.

“We are standing at the precipice of a new online revolution in health care. As more and more health experts embrace the Internet and increase their social media activity, health information seekers will undoubtedly benefit in profound ways.” [Source: Mashable]

What Percentage of Health Care Providers Recommend #Health Websites to #Patients? - Data Points - iHealthBeat

Eighty-three percent of online registered nurses and advanced practice registered nurses report recommending health-related websites to patients in 2010, compared with 59% of online physicians, according to a new Manhattan Research report.

The study also found that nearly 90% of online RNs and APRNs visited a pharmaceutical, biotechnology or device website in the past 12 months.

Although most online RNs and APRNs use social networking sites for personal reasons, a relatively small percentage uses professional online communities.  

Results are based on a Q2 2010 online survey of a nationally representative sample of 1,053 U.S. practicing nurses and physicians.
