04/20/21 • 20 min

Dr. Lisa Mathew talks with Dr. Austin Chiang about his path in gastroenterology and how he has used social media to connect with patients and confront misinformation about medicine. Dr. Chiang is director of the Endoscopic Bariatric Program and chief social media officer at Jefferson Health in Philadelphia. He is also the founding president of the Association for Healthcare Social Media and published a study that showed a correlation between social media presence and divisional rankings in the U.S. News and World Report annual rankings of hospitals. Join Dr. Mathew and Dr. Chiang as they discuss how independent GI practices should approach using social media platforms, and how important it is that physicians provide appropriate medical information to address inaccurate information that is being spread online.

Episode #18: How the Hunt for Red October Inspired Better IBD Monitoring (and helped torpedo the total cost of care)

This is one of those episodes you've been waiting for. Dr. Michael Weinstein interviews Dr. Larry Kosinski of SonarMD about his path in gastroenterology, and what sparked his interest in becoming an entrepreneur. From developing ambulatory surgery centers and infusion centers, to creating a system that improves the ability to monitor patients with IBD, Dr. Kosinski has done quite a bit in his career as a gastroenterologist. And judging from his interest in the potential to use sensors that measure organic compounds in the air to track adherence to special diets - it looks like he's far from done. Join Dr. Weinstein and Dr. Kosinski to learn how picking the best wine may not be that different from picking the best GI group - especially if you're interested in treating patients and creating innovative ways to improve patient care. When you're done listening, don't miss Dr. Kosinski on The Scope with Dr. K, Weekdays at 4:00 pm ET on the HealthcareNOW Radio Podcast Network.
