Assignment: Social Media Tools for Health Care Services Social media tools encourage people to share information, collaborate, and interact. These tools reinforce and personalize health messages, reach new audiences, and build a communication infrastructure based on open information exchange. —Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 2012 How does a health care administrator determine which social media tool is most appropriate for an intended audience or health message? Using social media tools to communicate health messages offers many benefits including instantaneous feedback, establishing a networked community, and enhanced information dissemination. With these thoughts in mind, how might these benefits transcend into the marketing of a new health care service?
