Healthcare & Social Media: Are you connected?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2lxPnCU30c&feature=related
34% of U.S. google traffic was health related
53% of patients would like reliable information about their condition online
Remember Bye Bye Birdie?
Twitter: The New Telephone
http://www.webanalyticsworld.net/2012/03/twitter-stats-in-2012-infographic.html (3/12)
Today people think: “I’ve got…diabetes, I better get a Twitter account.”
• “#1: “Real-time conversations with people who’ve been there; ….others who’ve been through it.”
• #2: “…incredible [HCPs] sharing time and talents…answering questions, sharing insights, links to their blogs, etc.”
• #3: “Tweetchats bring peers and pros together in one place.”
• #4: Breaking health news: “Now I see things on Twitter before I see them in [top] news outlets.”
Social Media: Who’s THE EXPERT?
• Lines are BLURRED – levels playing field• Everyone, anyone can be “AN EXPERT”• Diabetes Educators as experts need a presence,
voice with HCPs, PWD & general public
Social media isn’t a fad… it’s a fundamental shift in the way we
communicate.
