Siemens Dives Into Social Media to Educate Customers

The online social media company, Social Media Today , LLC has recently partnered with Siemens Healthcare

The online social media company, Social Media Today , LLC has recently partnered with Siemens Healthcare with the launch of the site HealthWorksCollective. The site offers editorial feedback in the areas of medical technology, healthcare policy, remote diagnostics, and medical education. Siemens jumped on board with a sponsorship as a platform to hear and learn from other industry experts as the field of healthcare is transformed.

John Glaser, PhD, CEO, Health Services Business Unit, Siemens Healthcare, states "It is only through collaborative and open discussion that the most insightful ideas come to the fore," said Dr. Glaser. "In the United States, the field of healthcare informatics is enabling many aspects of healthcare reform and is a salient discussion point in our most critical conversations on accountability, quality and cost. Globally, information technology is proving that it can be a significant driver for higher quality and lower cost care. The Siemens Healthcare Sector is actively positioning itself to address these issues through our Agenda 2013 initiative and I look forward to sharing my perspective and, more importantly, to learning from the wider array of assembled experts."
