That has changed completely in the past decade. See below the results of a BBC study (2012) on the level of activity on its digital platform(s). In the model, 23% is passive but 77% – to varying degrees – active.
The main reason for this enormous growth in activity is the acceptance of external social platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. The use of digital platforms to connect people with each other hardly needs any further explanation. The necessity of social networks in healthcare, after the revolution, is called a prerequisite and this also includes the digital networks that offer excellent opportunities.

Government 2.0 & citizen participation 2.0
There is no disagreement about the fact that healthcare is in danger of becoming unaffordable. By transferring part of latvia phone number list healthcare to local governments, it can probably be cheaper. Physical and digital meeting platforms can play an important role in this revolution.
It is obvious that – once digitally connected – it is an excellent opportunity for the government (municipality) to also consult citizens for other matters. Earlier I wrote an article about citizen participation based on a very successful project in the municipalities of Lingewaard and Overbetuwe, where a digital platform played an important role.
Due to the transition of care and the introduction of digitalisation, some civil servants will see their position change. In order to respond well to new forms of participation, active input from citizens and the dialogue between citizens, civil servants will increasingly have to become part of the networks in which citizens or clients are located. The municipality can facilitate these networks physically and digitally. We zoom in on the opportunities that digital social networks offer and the roles that the municipality, and therefore civil servants, must adopt.

New roles: community manager & community coordinator
The above classification of members of digital platforms has two new roles in addition to the previously mentioned classification of more or less active members. These are the community manager and the community coordinator. Within this function and role, these people monitor, activate and connect all activities that take place within social networks and on digital platforms. Making a community – or digital social network – work does not happen automatically. But consider what a serious commitment of platforms can mean for the active input and commitment of citizens.
Here lies an opportunity for municipalities to support and successfully land the upcoming transitions. By directly utilizing the decentralization of care, in order to make the changing role of the government visible, the road to the participation society has definitely been taken.
