TOP TRENDS SM IN HEALTHCARE
Patient engagement – patients say that SM affects their choice of provider in some way
Do It Yourself Health Sites – More patients are taking a do-it-yourself approach to their treatments & looking to connect with sites that can offer guidance.
“Edutainment” sites - growing trend of online sites that offer health & wellness tools or “edutainment.”
Predicting Trends – The next big thing will be predictive analytics. Healthcare providers will be able to use people’s conversations online to predict large scale health events, like flu outbreaks. Health systems will be better able to prepare with staffing and supplies before their clinics become swamped with sick people.
Listening more: With more ways to communicate than ever, it’s important for healthcare providers to take the opportunity & listen to what their patients are saying.

1. CREATE MORE ……………………..REACH
Social media gives employers a place to find & engage with you based on criteria that’s of interest and value to others (them vs you).
19
2. MEET THE PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS
Platforms like LinkedIn are considered a professional standard & a key component of your online brand presence.
Google+ is following suit presenting your work to potential employers and clients.
These days, an online portfolio that’s easy to access in one click is essential.
20
3. TELL A STORY
Twitter is a great way to reach out and connect with peers in your field, and build more visibility around your industry-relevant blog.
Helping you tell a story about your career: way more impactful than a formalized list of experience & skills (that’s important too).
21
4. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SEO SEARCH ENGINEOPTIMIZATION
The bigger a presence you have, and in the most appropriate places, the likelier you are to be found by those searching for qualified candidates in your field.
Being on the larger networks will boost your search optimization as well.

HEALTH CARE & SOCIAL MEDIA
“There is currently widespread
discussion among health care professionals, academics,
social media observers and the
public about how social media can
and should be used in health care.” CMA 2011

EXCELLENT RESOURCE
STRATEGY
Where am I or where are we now (my organization)
Where do we want to be?
How do we get there?
How do we know when we are there?
How do we know an improvement is an improvement or a change is a change?
26
EXAMPLES RELATIONSHIP STRATEGIES: LINKEDIN GROUPS
A few of mine:
Join, create & connect a pan-Canadian online network of experienced health leaders, health professionals as a resource
Create a safe environment to build relationships
Have polling pool to bounce ideas off & inform decisions
Person-centred health focus

POLL: ADVICE TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF HEALTH CARE
Leverage existing on-line communities where possible
Build bridges & not divides.
Meet health leaders/policy makers part-way & understand their world
Let everyone rate any healthcare provider
Consider SM as a new communication tools & use appropriately
Use it to engage with & create positive health care experiences for all BC.
Treat it like another communications channel (i.e. same process for approvals, uses etc.)
32
POLL: ADVICE CONT’D
Get physicians onboard
Advice to health care pros: learn Twitter & discipline yourself to 30 mins a day. To health care orgs: develop a SM strategy & use it
Encourage staff to use their devices in a professional manner when caring for patients & in view of health care users
Older leaders in the field need to not only embrace but be open-minded & learn how useful social media can be in the work place
33
ADVICE CONT’D (GHWA POLL)
Link its goals with corporate strategy.
use narrative reporting, it's easier for community members to understand high level changes/decision making
34
ADVICE CONT’D (GHWA POLL)
Organizations need to work it into work plans, evaluations, outcomes etc. & not just have it as an 'extra’
Listen to the frontline staff they have the best ideas
Let's think about how we can better help our colleagues and learn through each other's mistakes.
Don't rely on it, it really isn't as pervasive as we all seem to think.
