nAtionAL #HcSMcA SYMpoSiuM FoR HEALtH cARE + DigitAL coMMunicAtion WEDnESDAY | 0900 – 1600

Digital technologies have the power to rewrite every aspect of health care. In anticipation of this seismic shift, one of Canada’s most vibrant online communities came together five years ago to help reimagine health care through a health technology lens.

over those five years the Health Care and Social media Canada (#hcsmca) community has brought together health communicators, researchers, practitioners and patients from across Canada through a collective vision to drive social collaboration for better health and health care.

weekly #hcsmca Twitter discussions have tackled everything from putting health care onto election agendas, to encouraging celebrities to get involved in health promotions, to exploring the true nature of health care privacy. although the community is mostly “virtual”, over the years face-to-face meetings (called tweetups) have occurred in cities across the country. but never before has this national group come together to solve a big e-health problem. until now.

on February 24, 2016, #hcsmca will host a nation-wide symposium as a pre-event of the well-established Quality Forum. it is an opportunity to bring together national thought leaders for a full-day problem-solving workshop.

participants will explore how digital communications impact quality of care, support patient-provider co-design, contribute to research and knowledge translation, and lead to interdisciplinary decision-making. They will tackle specific issues as determined by the #hcsmca community — and work together to put forward solutions. after the event, materials will be created to document how organizations across Canada can use digital communication to improve the care that they provide for patients.

ExpEctED AuDiEncE

The #hcsmca is a national, mature and connected online community that has coalesced over five years of weekly online conversations. Past meetups, primarily hosted in Toronto, have consistently drawn 100+ participants with simultaneous livestreaming and a dedicated hashtag, extending its reach across Canada and beyond.

The is the first ever national gathering of this passionate community, and it will be capped at 150 registrants — health communicators, health providers, health administrators, students, patients, researchers and health iT experts. we endeavour to draw newer community members via the audience of the Quality Forum, which will attract over 900 participants itself, as well as a significant portion of people from western Canada. and we will aim to ensure that community members from across Canada will also attend by providing scholarships (more info below).

Now you have the chance to be a key part of this first-ever #hcsmca event. we are seeking a limited number of sponsors for this special event. This is a unique opportunity to get your organization in front of Canada’s health care thought leaders and social media stars. learn more about the various sponsorship levels below.
