Social media is collaborating with healthcare to meet the needs of providers and patients, and is moving toward using analytics to evaluate its value within healthcare. The document instructs the reader to research areas of social media that could benefit from an analytic model combining data and value-based analytics, then evaluate a resource by discussing five major social media stakeholder roles, whether social media could improve medical practice and provide rationale, and concluding with main points.

1. According to Davenport (2014) social media and health care are
collaborating in meeting the needs of health care providers and
patients. Social media is taking a step towards focusing on an
analytic model to evaluate the value of social media in
healthcare. For this assignment you research and investigate the
areas of social media that might embrace and benefit from an
analytic model combining acquired data and value-based
analytics. You will then evaluate the resource addressing the
following points:
· Five major stakeholder roles of social media—patients,
physicians (and other outpatient care), hospitals, payers
(employers, health plans), and health information technology
(IT)
· Will social media improve a practice? How so? Provide a
thorough rationale.
· Provide a conclusion with the main points .
format:
