In October 2009 Ed Bennett recorded over 400 hospitals in the US utilising social Networks.

Following the sterling work of @EdBennett I was stimulated to determine the percentage of Australian hospitals using Social Networks both to further engage staff members and to provide community based education for the general populous.

We examined 935 Australian Hospitals to confirm that Australia is lagging 12-18 months behind the US in terms of utilising Social Media to facilitate two-way communication; engage the community and relay vital lifestyle and health related information.
