These Top 10 healthcare influencers were calculated over the last 90 days, with “KevinMD,” a familiar name in healthcare social media (#hcsm), holding the top spot.

1. Kevin Pho: He rules the physician space. All hospitals and physicians with an interest in social media should be following him.

2. American Medical Association: AMA, an organization blazing the trail as advocates in healthcare social media through the promotion of best practices and guidelines for physicians.

3. Shawn Riley: A leader at Mayo Clinic. Makes sense since Mayo is a thought leader in #hcsm.

4. Brian Ahier: Represents the IT side of healthcare, and has a tremendous following in this niche.

5. E-Patient Dave: Dave deBronkart represents the patient voice in healthcare social media. An important aspect for us healthcare marketers.

6. Val Jones: Another physician presence, with a specific focus consumer healthcare.

7. Health Affairs: This is a peer-reviewed public policy journal; pretty standard.

8. Phil Baumann: Founder of the healthcare social media consulting firm, so you’ll find marketing-minded tweets with a medical background.

9. Jen McCabe: Founder of Seattle-based start-up that’s developing algorithms to provide personalized health recommendations. Honestly, this is the name I was least familiar with.

10. Dave Walker: A pharmacist and health technology enthusiast serving as a resource for health news.
