Top Hospitals on YouTube
(download)
Thank goodness for Ed Bennett. He maintains a master list of all hospitals and healthcare systems that are involved in social media. Nearly a year ago, he posted a Top 20 Hospitals on YouTube list. Ever since he posted that, I've used it as a measuring stick for my own healthcare system on YouTube. I think it's a good idea to do so, as I certainly wouldn't want to be comparing what my healthcare system is doing on YouTube versus, say, Lady Gaga.
Unfortunately, we haven't broken the top 20 yet. Yet!What you'll find is a full list of hospitals and healthcare systems on YouTube and ranked in order based off subscriber count. Knowing this isn't the full picture, I've also included channel views and total uploads. Also be aware that some hospitals don't list their subscriber counts, so those ended up at the bottom of the list. This is based off of Ed Bennett's master list of hospitals. The numbers may not completely match up though, I found some links to hospital's YouTube accounts had been discontinued, were ghost accounts or were a playlist off of another account. Those were not included. Also know that this is based off subscriber count and secondly, channel views. About three quarters the way through I realized that "total upload views" would be a better evaluation, so I'll include that next time to replace channel views as the second evaluator. Ed Bennett's last update to his master list was on June 20, 2010 and I gathered the information on July 17, 2010.
