Lay health care consumers’ emergence as active participants in online health care networks is a powerful new technological pattern that promises to take the American health care system through all stages of cultural adaptation–substitution, innovation, and transformation. Soon everyone will recognize the fundamental changes online health has produced in the way we think and act about health care.

Abstract
Social media have infiltrated all of our lives, both personally and professionally. Most of us could never have envisioned the impact that social media have had on us, particularly in the healthcare arena. Who would have thought even five years ago that a discussion on the ASHRM exchange would involve the use of Twitter in the operating room or that a physician would be reprimanded by a state medical board and have her privileges revoked due to posting information online about a trauma patient? In the coming years, social media use will only increase, causing concern for risk managers across the continuum. Furthermore, although case law and statutory regulations addressing the use of social media are minimal today, it is anticipated that we will see legal challenges to this evolving medium in the future.

Online weblogs and journals developed by people affected by illness are popular vehicles for personal expression and peer emotional support. These sites can also offer insight to healthcare providers about patient opinions, habits and actions. These same media can also be effective and efficient tools for exchanging information between patients, providers, or between a patient and his/her provider(s).

Driven by an eclectic group of stakeholders the interest in patient-reported health data has grown exponentially in the last decade and shows no sign of waning. Patients themselves are expanding their circle of knowledge beyond healthcare providers and clinicians to include other patients through personal as well as virtual connections. Healthcare institutions and clinicians in the US, many incentivized by healthcare reform are seeking innovative ways to meet meaningful use criteria for their electronic health records. Pharmaceutical companies that previously viewed the physician as their primary customer are finding new ways to engage directly with the end user of their products. Governments around the world are getting involved with initiatives designed specifically around patient generated data. An example in the US is the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI).
The volume of patient-generated health data poses a particular challenge across all stakeholder environments. Traditional methods of health data collection, processing, measurement, validation and analyses are designed not around patients but around the systems within which the data resides. Clinical taxonomies rarely align with patient folksonomy leaving translation of patient-generated health data vulnerable to inaccurate interpretation.

Abstract Patients, caregivers, family, friends, and other supporters are increasingly joining online health communities to share information and find support [Fox, Medicine 2.0: Peer-to-peer healthcare. 2011]. But web 2.0 technology alone does not create a sense of community. To build and sustain a successful online health community, you need a connector and evidence-informed, strategic community management.

Abstract Background: Social networking in the context of health is a fairly new phenomenon. The diabetes online community (DOC) is a way for individuals with diabetes, and their caregivers, to engage with others who have a vested interest in diabetes. The DOC encompasses diabetes specific social networking sites, general social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter), blogs, vlogs, and discussion boards. Different from medical advice, DOC users are generating peer-to-peer discussions about diabetes based on their own experiences. There is a lack of understanding about peer-to-peer health on disease specific social networking sites as it relates to value gained by the individual members.
