THE USE OF EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES FOR HEALTHCARE MESSAGES

April 2-3, 2013

Houston, Texas

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

As technology evolves, so do our methods of communication. Messenger pigeons gave way to telegraphs, which were replaced by telephones, mail, and email. Now we rely on Facebook or twitter to keep in touch and make new connections.  It is imperative that we understand the role of Social Media and how it is being used in the lives of clients we serve.

In our fun and interactive sessions, you will:

1. •Identify the latest social media for effective education and 
   

    communication

1. • Explain the advantages of using new media to interact with
   

    clients and to promote community health

1. •Discuss evaluation of the impact of new technology on health
   

    programs

1. •Explore diverse perspectives with regards to the use of social media
   

    in patient education and communication

1. •Describe how to affordably use the appropriate technology with
   

    clients

1. •Explore how to become a model for other community
   

    organizations

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
