Follow the U.S. Hospital Twitter List Created by Ed Bennett

Twitter-Logo Ed Bennett keeps a great list of hospitals using social media. He recently created a Twitter List for all the hospitals on Twitter in the U.S. Following this list will let you see all the tweets from these hospitals. He has a page on his site that organizes all of these hospitals by state and also lists the childrens hospitals separately.

Don't forget to also follow the Twitter List I created a few weeks ago of healthcare staffing agencies on Twitter.

There are 0 vacancies. The theories as to why were everything from - there is a waiting list for care in Canada and no beds are ever empty to - there are too many, unnecessary for-profit healthcare delivery organizations in the states causing a consistent census gap, mismanagement and poor staffing. All hospitals employees are unionized and the same organizations that run the educational centers for healthcare professionals negotiate on behalf of the unions. All of the hospitals are not for profit and effectively owned by the government. Due to all of this, there is little to no market for healthcare staffing agencies in Canada even though there is still a shortage of healthcare professionals. When polled, consistently, the people of Canada approve of their healthcare system by 80+% The company I met with also makes payroll systems for countries all over the world and claimed that 1) the...
