What are some risks for healthcare organizations?
- Reputation management - Privacy issues – HIPAA- Copyright issues- Inappropriate use by staff
Don’t Lie, Don’t PryDon’t Cheat, Can’t DeleteDon’t Steal, Don’t Reveal
The Mayo Clinic’s 12 word social media policy
http://network.socialmedia.mayoclinic.org/2012/04/05/a-twelve-word-social-media-policy/
Don’t endorse as a matter of course.
Supervisors: Don’t initiate an employee friend request at your own behest.
Separate your circle of friends from patients you mend.
Corporate logo in your username is a no go.
Adding a disclaimer is probably saner.
Don’t practice on the Internet, regardless of your good intent
Always surmise that HIPAA applies.
Speak on your behalf, not that of staff.
Anonymity is really gimmicky.
If you chat about your company, identify abundantly.
Did those statistics surprise you?
Are you concerned by some of these risks?
Thoughts? Questions?

How are YOU using social media?
A lesson from Olivier Blanchard:
FREQUENCY
REACH
YIELD
FRY
HANDOUT:
“I try to post 3-5 times per week and include a mix of professional, personal and community posts. In other words, I
post articles or photos related to eyecare; local events; or achievements of our staff or our practice. I have found that the
posts with the greatest reach are those that focus on staff members. Often, the staff member will share it on their own
Facebook page and their friends will be exposed to our page.”
“On Twitter, I tend to post the same things I post to our Facebook page. I try to take advantage of trending hashtags when they
relate to health or our community, etc. I think the importance of being on Twitter is just having that presence, and the content
there does not necessarily affect its impact.”
“Since we have begun focusing more on social media marketing, the traffic to our patient portal has increased. In February, we had 43 new registrations. In May, we had 67. Driving patients to our portal is really important to us and it
creates traffic on our web site. Regular posting of quality content has also increased our Facebook page likes.”
The key is to make it part of your daily work.
So how can you manage this?

UNDERSTAND YOUR OBJECTIVES
“Healthcare social media is characterized by its immediacy, transparency and reach. This is the
future of medicine, and the future is now. We have digitally savvy patients and doctors, hospital
videos on YouTube, and surgeons live-tweeting surgery. Social media will continue to disrupt
healthcare in ways we are only starting to understand. But in order to realize its full
potential, all stakeholders need to contribute and participate.”
- Marie Ennis O’Conner (health blogger)
