Hospitals Missing Opportunities on Facebook: Results of First Ever Study on How Hospitals Use Facebook - MarketWatch

A new nationwide study by Verasoni AhHa! and Simon Associates Management Consultants of how hospitals across the United States use Facebook suggests that hospitals are not using Facebook to its capacity to engage patients, build healthcare communities or develop their hospital brands.

Only a few hospitals across the United States are utilizing social media to connect with patients, improve the health status of the community and extend their brand, and these hospitals are doing it very well. The majority is not, the study indicates. "It appears that hospitals either have yet to grasp the role of Facebook with respect to connecting with patients, or have not yet invested in the medium to be able to use it as a viable marketing communications and healthcare or community development tool," said Dr. Andrea Simon, President of Simon Associates Management Consultants and co-author of this study.

The study looks at various types of relevant Facebook activities and tactics for 120 hospitals of various sizes and affiliations across the United States. The study includes an analysis of the size of network, frequency and types of posts, and the use of the integration tools available on Facebook, among other measures. "While the numbers clearly indicate that patients are on Facebook, it is the job of hospitals to find them, and engage them in a meaningful way. And, just because a hospital is on Facebook doesn't mean that they are building a meaningful Facebook experience for both the hospital and the patient," said Abe Kasbo, CEO of Verasoni Worldwide, co-author of the study.

Hospital confronts social media uprising over care of dying baby - The Globe and Mail

One of Canada’s most prestigious medical institutions has made the bold decision to go public with details of a highly emotional tug-of-war over a dying infant in an attempt to defend itself against a slew of threats, condemnations and criticisms playing out in social media.

The case highlights how the emerging influence of viral videos, online campaigns and social networks can quickly damage an organization and force even the most staid institutions to change their communications strategies.

Social Media - How to Use Social Media to Choose a Doctor

We patients have only a few tools at our disposal to choose the right doctor for us. Most of those tools provide very cut and dried basics like licensing, board certification, even malpractice.

It has always been difficult to gain a glimpse into a doctor's attitudes or personality without meeting that doctor and getting to know him or her. Friends might tell us a doctor is "nice" - but smart patients know that doesn't mean a doctor is competent.

Along comes social media - Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn and other programs online that allow us to connect with other people - including doctors. Social media allows us to learn more about a doctor's personality and attitudes, his or her approach to their work and more.

With a little detective work, picking up clues here and there, smart patients use social medial to help them research and choose their doctors.

Some might tell you that you can get this kind of information from doctors' ratings sites. But I'm not a fan. They are too restricted, and are too often populated only by disgruntled patients. So give social media a try, hopefully to find more balance.

Diabetes Social Networking Web Sites Vary in Quality: MedlinePlus

The quality of social networking sites for people with diabetes varies greatly, researchers say, with some providing useful medical information and emotional support, while others may simply be thinly veiled advertising sites.

Only half of the sites researchers from Children's Hospital Boston reviewed contained content that was in line with current diabetes science and clinical practice, the study found.

"This study was an attempt to rigorously review online social networking communities focused on diabetes, not Web sites and not bulletin board communities," said lead author Elissa Weitzman, an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School and the Children's Hospital Informatics Program in Boston.

"People are in these communities to address an overwhelming need for information and social communication. And, we found that a couple of sites consistently did better than others," she added.

Weitzman declined to name those sites, explaining the study was designed to evaluate the social networks overall, not to provide specific reviews. Also, some of the networks reviewed may not be active anymore.

The researchers reviewed the top 10 diabetes social networks, according to a Google search. They evaluated each one for the accuracy of its diabetes science; safety practices (Were sites monitored by moderators? Were conflicts of interest apparent? How was misinformation handled?); accessibility of privacy policies, and the ability to change privacy settings. They also looked at how advertising was identified, how member data was shared and what control members had over their data.

7 Best Practices For Hospitals and Social Media | Hospital Financial and Business News

Kevin Troutman is a partner at Fisher & Phillips LLP in Houston and serves as the chair of the firm's Healthcare Practice Group. Additionally, Mr. Troutman has more than 17 years experience in healthcare management positions, once serving as the senior HR manager for 22 hospitals in five states. Mr. Troutman outlined seven best practices for hospitals to consider regarding social media and hospital employees.

1. Update your policy to include social media. Roughly one-third of employers have enacted policies that address employees' use of social media sites, says Mr. Troutman. While this number is growing, employers still aren't catching on as quickly as expected, especially since sites such as Facebook or Twitter will never phase out but only evolve. "Hospitals need to address social media — they can't just proceed as though they don't exist," says Mr. Troutman. He said most hospitals already have strong confidentiality policies in place, but these need to be amended to include specific parameters for social media use.

2. Decide how much restriction employees will face while at work. Some hospitals have enacted prohibited social media policies for employees, while others have restricted their use all together. While this decision may vary from hospital-to-hospital depending on the work environment, Mr. Troutman shares some general advice. "Encourage employees to minimize the use of personal websites or personal activity while they are on work time. You have to recognize that, once in a while, employees will need to send a personal e-mail. But generally, the policy should be this: while at work, you do work. "

3. Train supervisors so they don't inadvertently create problems. In the ambiguous realm of friending, private messages and wall posts, supervisors need to anticipate potential problems regardless of their intention. For instance, a supervisor sending a friend request to a lower level employee could set up potential claims of fraternization, harassment, or — in extreme cases — stalking. Mr. Troutman shared an instance where a supervisor signed into a Facebook account under another username to look up an employee's social media activity, which could be considered defrauding the employee or invading his/her privacy.

5 Ways Social Media Can Help Nurses - Nursing Link

1. Learn About Industry Trends and Breakthroughs

Social media is largely about learning. While some of us are leveraging social media as marketing or micro-blogging tools, many nurses are banding together and sharing important information about trends happening in their industry today.

Great ways to learn about what’s happening in healthcare now:

• Follow and fan professional organizations like the CDC, Mayo Clinic, or ANA for reliable information. You can usually find links to their social media profiles on their homepage.

• Follow and fan your favorite nurse bloggers to see what they are saying online. Chances are they’re offering their expertise and perspective on what’s happening in the profession today.

• See what nurses are saying in the Twitter chats. You’ll find everything from new ideas to opinions about hot-button issues.

OrganizedWisdom Finds Free Experts Make for SEO Success - NYTimes.com

With Demand Media currently planning a high-profile IPO and issues being raised about the impact of “content farms” on search results, there is a lot of attention being paid to the question of content aggregation and its effect on the web. OrganizedWisdom Health, a health-resource service, now believes it’s better — and more profitable — to organize free content rather than pay for low-wage material.

The New York-based startup has spent most of the past four years building up an index of “wisdom cards:” topical health entries that were written by contributors for a small fee. At any given moment, OrganizedWisdom contracted with 100 writers, who covered a wide array of medical topics. But exactly one year ago, the company dropped the paid-content route and embraced a free expert model. So where does the content come from? The startup keeps track of some 5,000 doctors and health experts who use social media, and collects their contributions into wisdom cards.

Nursing students suspended for posting placenta picture on Facebook – - Macleans OnCampus

A group of nursing students at Johnson County Community College were kicked out of school for posing with a human placenta and posting the photos on Facebook. (It seems the esteemed “in-mirror club shot” for Facebook has effectively been replaced.) According to court documents, the students were visiting a medical centre with their class in November when they asked their teacher if they could take photos with a placenta. The teacher “implied consent” and the girls snapped away, posting the pictures on a least one Facebook page. A few hours later, an instructor requested that the photos be taken down, and the students were informed that they were being “dismissed.” They responded by filing suit against the school.

This story has gone viral south of the border, inciting heated debate about the freedom to post the miscellaneous online and the appropriateness of school sanctions for non-academic conduct. The issue is not foreign to us here in Canada, as the University of Calgary is currently battling a case concerning its punishment of two students for content they posted on Facebook. The rhetoric is usually the same; either “give me freedom and stay off my page” or “privacy is dead, so act responsibly.”

Judge orders reinstatement for student who posted placenta photo to Facebook - KansasCity.com

A federal judge today ordered Johnson County Community College to reinstate a nursing student who had been dismissed for posting a picture of a human placenta on Facebook.

U.S. District Judge Eric F. Melgren ruled against the college on every legal point it raised.

Doyle Byrnes, 22, will be allowed to take the final exam she missed in the fall and to enroll in the new semester that begins Jan. 19.

Byrnes was one of four students who were dismissed from the nursing program after they had themselves photographed with the placenta on Nov. 10. The college said they could reapply to the program in August.

Internet in Medicine: 2000 vs 2010 « ScienceRoll

Whenever I talk about using social media in medicine to doctors, they seem to think there are more cons than pros regarding this issue. Well, I like reminding them about some major differences between 2000 and nowadays.

What would I do if	in 2000	Now
I need clinical answer	Try to find a collegue who knows it	Post a question on Twitter
I want to hear patient story about a specific condition	Try to find a patient in my town	Read blogs, watch Youtube
