Online Communities – #HITsm Chat Topic

We’re excited to share the topic and questions for this week’s #HITsm chat happening Friday, 8/6 at Noon ET (9 AM PT). This week’s chat will be hosted by John Lynn (@techguy) from @hcitoday on the topic “Online Communities.

One of the things I love in life is creating communities of people that have a common cause or interest.  There’s a real power in connecting communities of people that are dealing with the same challenges.  You can build relationships that last a lifetime.  You can find business partners.  You can help to improve the world.  You can support each other when a pandemic hits and throws the world in array.

For this week’s #HITsm chat we’re going to dive into online communities.  We’re going to learn what makes a good community.  We’ll share what we look for in a community and what drives us away.  We’ll also talk about some of the negatives of online communities.  Plus, I’m interested in knowing whether you’d join a new online community.

Join us for this week’s #HITsm chat where we’ll discuss the following questions and topics.

Topics for this week’s #HITsm Chat:

T1: What are your favorite online communities? What has made them last? What makes them valuable? #HITsm

T2: Have you left any communities? If you left, why did you stop taking part? Why would you stop interacting with an online community? #HITsm

T3: Would you join a new online community or do you feel like the communities available today are enough? What would it take for you to want to join a new community and/or platform? #HITsm

T4: What’s been the impact of trolls and other bad actors on communities? Do you learn to just deal/ignore them or do they cause you to stop engaging? #HITsm

T5: How have online communities bridged you to in-person communities? #HITsm

Bonus: Is there a non-healthcare IT community you engage with? Which ones? #NoJudgement #HITsm
