T1: The main driver I see if pervasiveness… #socialmedia will need to become more convenient & accessible to the masses. #HITsm — Erica V. Olenski (@TheGr8Chalupa) February 1, 2013
T1: The drivers will be two-fold: Patient engagement and Clinician engagement. It may be chicken/egg, but need to begin actively. #HITsm — Jon Mertz (@jonmertz) February 1, 2013
T1: A start to increasing participation is going to be MD offices establishing a presence online. Then, drive your patients there. #HITsm

T3 My pet peeve r/e “fit lifestyle”: We’re not the patients that docs should be concerned about. Must think outside the box. #HITsm
