If you have always thought that Twitter is just a place where people are sharing what they ate for lunch, or what they did this weekend, you may be missing out on some important healthcare conversations.
Below are some tweets we follow to keep on top of what is going on in the world of healthcare and how it impacts the nurse case managers, non-bedside nurses, hospitals, managed care organizations, and other healthcare organizations that we work with.
