IHPI joins Bluesky, adding to its longstanding social media presence on LinkedIn, X, and YouTube
The Institute for Healthcare Policy & Innovation (IHP) is excited to announce the launch of its official Bluesky account (@um-ihpi.bsky.social), alongside its established profiles on LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), and YouTube.
Bluesky, a microblogging social media network, has been gaining traction as a new tool for communicating and connecting about research, with a more open and user-controlled digital environment than some other platforms. By joining Bluesky, IHPI aims to continue elevating valuable insights from our 760+ researchers and engaging with the broader health services research community.
Bluesky has both List and Starter Pack features that make it easy to find accounts to follow. IHPI has begun to add faculty accounts to both an IHPI Members List and an IHPI Starter Pack; if you have joined Bluesky and are an IHPI member, follow IHPI to be added to both.
To help members navigate the platform, IHPI will host a virtual Bluesky 101 Workshop on Wednesday, April 23 from 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. ET. This session will provide an introduction to Bluesky, covering account setup, key features, and best practices for engagement. Whether you are new to the platform or looking to optimize your social media use as a research professional, this workshop will offer practical guidance and insights. Learn more and register here.
Stay connected with IHPI on all platforms and join the conversation on Bluesky!
