How CADTH Benefits from Twitter
• Being a part of the conversation
• Gives CADTH a “personality”
• Not just a “push” of CADTH content but interaction
• Reaching non-traditional audiences
• Increased engagement of key audiences: other HTA
producers, pharmacists, physicians, professional societies,
and patient groups
• Quickly identify trends, respond to customer needs,
disseminate evidence in a highly targeted manner, and
enhance connections
• Twitter a formal component of the CADTH Symposium for 3
years
