Health took two of the top spots, followed by #HIMSSanity, #patientengagement and #interoperability. Other notable hashtags include #HITsm, which stands for healthcare IT social media – and corresponds to a weekly chat on Friday’s at 11 CT – as well as #hcldr, corresponding to a weekly chat addressing healthcare leadership. #engage 4 health and #Iheart. HIT are two others hashtags worth noting, supporting and celebrating patient engagement, industry transformation and personal and professional growth through health IT. And #Dr. HIT is centralizing the conversation around physician use of health IT (and supports our key takeaways on slide #4).

While the former supports the increased focus on – and importance of – patient engagement, the latter highlights physicians’ increasing alignment with and participation in the health IT conversation. Another hashtag to note is #dataindependenceday, the popularity of which is a testament to the strength of Regina Holliday’s message of enabling health record data access for all. #HITsm. CIO was another new-to-the-scene hashtag for this year, a @W 2 OGroup hashtag focused on health system CIO engagement in social media and celebrating how health IT leaders are using So. Me to drive improvement throughout the industry. Additionally, it is worth noting that #HITchicks usage grew this year, a hashtag that supports women leadership and female participation in healthcare IT and the HIT conversation.
