Tricks or Treats – Health IT Edition – #HITsm Chat Topic

We’re excited to share the topic and questions for this week’s #HITsm chat happening Friday, 10/30 at Noon ET (9 AM PT). This week’s chat will be hosted by John Lynn (@techguy) from @hcittoday on the topic “Tricks or Treats – Health IT Edition“.

How can we have an #HITsm chat the day before Halloween and not do something related to the holiday?  I can’t.  So, let’s have some fun for this week’s #HITsm chat and talk about the various tricks and treats you’ve experienced with Health IT.  I’m sure we’ve got some stories in there worth sharing.

By a trick, I’m talking about the biggest missteps in health IT or the biggest boondoggles.  What things frustrate you about healthcare.  In other words, where do you feel like we’re getting tricked?

On the other hand, where do you see exciting things happening in health IT.  What things in health IT are a treat to watch?  Is there someone that makes you smile and is a treat to be around?  Let’s share some of the best “treats” in health IT.

Join us for this week’s HITsm chat, as we have a Halloween themed “Tricks” or “Treats” chat.

T1: What’s been the biggest “trick” in healthcare? What frustrates you the most? #HITsm
