Abstract
The August 2011 Clinical and Translational Science Awards conference "Using IT to Improve Community Health: How Health Care Reform Supports Innovation" convened four "Think Tank" sessions. This report summarizes the content of one session centered on "Social Networking: Community Connections and Health Outcomes." We discuss the efforts of HealthStreet to facilitate ongoing, real-time assessment of community health needs, concerns, and opportunities to participate in research.
