Chronic Disease and Social Networks
by Jane Sarasohn-Kahn, MA (Econ.), MHSA, Member, HIMSS eConnecting with Consumers – Social Media Task ForceChronic disease accounts for $3 in every $4 of health spending in the U.S. Four lifestyles – smoking, physical inactivity, harmful use of alcohol, and poor diet – contribute to the non-communicable disease burden which kills 2 in 3 people. At the same time, the U.S. spends more on health care than any other nation in the world. Although the U.S. adopts the most innovative new-new medical technology (from aortic valves to CT scanners), Americans’ health outcomes are generally sub-par. In the U.S., we’re getting a lousy ROI on health spending.
