A recent survey from health-care research firm
National Research found that 96% of the nearly
23,000 consumers it surveyed use Facebook to
gather information about health care, with 28%
using YouTube and 22% using Twitter. Hospitals,
health-care providers and private insurers also are
seeing social media as a tool to engage consumers.
NPR Marketplace calls it the biggest threat to
healthcare portals like WebMD.
