Here’s some interesting stats from Ed Bennett that were shared in PharmaVOICE (Oct 2011) based on 1,188 hospitals that are using social media.
- 548 YouTube channels
- 1,018 Facebook pages
- 788 Twitter accounts
- 458 LinkedIn accounts
- 913 Foursquare
- 137 Blogs
- 3,952 hospital social networking sites
My one pet peeve is the “emergency room” locations that publish their wait time via Twitter. If it’s really an emergency, shouldn’t I be going in to get care not focusing on wait times? And, aren’t the wait times variable based on how urgent my need?

Agreed.
