One of the very important uses of being on social media is that they help in keeping healthcare professionals updated, in an ever evolving industry. It builds awareness about key issues and helps in disseminating vital information.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><b>We are family!<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is a growing need for physicians to galvanize and speak up against draconian regulations and reimbursement cuts. To reassert their need for EHRs that is built around their workflow requirements and practice needs. To remain silent is to comply. And that is why it is more important than ever for medical professionals to be on social media.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It builds a sense of community and can empower users. It can encourage networking with peers and working as a collective force.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><b>Being close to patients!<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is impossible for a medical practitioner who sees around 30 patients a day, to follow up on every one of them and offer personalized care. <strong>Being on social networking platforms means, patients are just a click away. It helps to connect with patients and drive up patient engagement.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can educate patients on using patient portals and offer health advice, without the pressure, of another patient waiting in the reception.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><b>Handle competition deftly!<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the end of the day medicine is business.
