Can Social Media Help Cure Physician Burnout?

Sermo is an online social community that was specifically developed for physicians. With broader reach and more meaningful engagement than other clinical communities, the site can help with everything from second opinions on complicated patient cases to asking for practice management or travel recommendations. iConsult, Sermo’s peer-to-peer collaboration resource, makes possible real-time, virtual consults at the point of care via the Web or mobile app. I’ve integrated iConsult into my practice when I’m faced with a complicated case. The ability to collaborate and effectively crowdsource medical insights has helped me, and other physicians, to more effectively diagnose disease, treat patients, and solve cases.
