#MDchat: A while back, we discussed #hcsm, a Twitter community which discusses all things relating to how social media is used in the healthcare space. #MDChat is a new hashtag community launched last month by @PhilBaumann which physicians can use to discuss all matters of healthcare and the effect that emerging technologies have on it. Baumann is also the founder of RNchat, which he started more than a year ago as a tool for nurses to connect and network with one another. A simple Twitter search for #MDChat will let you find the most recent discussion, and you can follow @MD_chat to see when the next live chat will be held.
