Page 2: THE ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA Employees and the …...Social media becomes more important every day to engage your patients, employees and the media. That’s why Ragan and Swedish Health

In the three hours of this valuable overview, Dana Lewis will show you how communicators use social media in health care, the strategic potential of social media for physicians and health care professionals and the online ROI for health care organizations.

But what about the FDA, HIPAA and patient privacy? While these are all important, they’re not an excuse for health care organizations to avoid social media and shun online communities. And while organizations should adopt social media, they should also avoid using Facebook as a Band-Aid for organi-zational issues.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how the public, medical professionals and organizations use social media in health care. You’ll understand each group’s motivations, identify their rules of engagement and use this knowledge to improve your bottom line. Your questions will be answered by a professional who uses social media to shape the new health care industry. You’ll walk away with a comprehensive understanding of health care social media and with the skills to develop and deploy a strategic plan for social media.

You’ll learn how to:• Identify the motivations for stakeholders in health care (patients,

physicians and organizations) to engage in social media• Understand the latest thinking on HIPAA, HR issues and other

legal and risk-management concerns related to social media• Use social media to overcome real-life barriers in health care

interactions• Identify a plan that strategically meets your organization’s goals• Discern situations where a bigger problem needs a solution

beyond social media• Measure your efforts, determine ROI and make the business case

for social media• Determine whether an individual or group presence in social

media is more effective• Communicate health care standards online• Advocate for improvements in health care on social mediaDana lewis is the Interactive Marketing Specialist at Swedish and created the industry standard for health care chats on Twitter. Internationally known for her work in social media, Dana develops and puts into effect social and digital communication strategies for persons, small groups and organizations. She serves on the advisory board for Mayo Clinic Center for Social Media and the South by Southwest Health track.

If you pay attention to Ed Bennett’s list of hospitals engaged in social media, you know that the rate at which hospitals are jumping on social media is accelerating. Each month dozens of hospitals launch Facebook pages, Twitter accounts and YouTube channels. That doesn’t mean they are doing it well! In fact, a lot of hospitals succumb to the shiny-new-

object syndrome and rush into channels without any strategy.In this example-rich session, online communications authority

Shel Holtz will explore the best practices hospitals employ in social media:• How to make your Facebook fan page a hub for community

interaction

• The role of blogs in hospitals• Why Twitter has become the most popular social media tool for

hospitals• How to integrate your social media • How some hospitals employ lesser-known social media tools to

great effect• When podcasting makes sense for hospitals and health care

institutionsShel Holtz brings more than 30 years of experience to his assignments. He has written or co-written six books on communication along with several manuals and countless articles. He is also a sought-after speaker. He has consulted with hundreds of companies; in health care, his clients have included Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins Medicine, Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Texas Health Resources, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and the California Hospital Association.

9 a.m.–10 a.m. | OPenIng KeynOTeHow to encourage your physicians to engage and empower your audience through social media

Media coverage of health issues and the abundance of online information can cause great confusion. For parents in particular, this confusion can generate fear when it comes to making important health care decisions for their children. Find out how a pedia-trician at a top-ranked children’s hospital engages

parents by blogging about key issues, sharing her own experiences. In this keynote presentation, you will learn:

• A pediatrician’s approach to balancing evidence-based statistics with the “power of story” to communicate important health issues

• Helpful tips and best practices for creating a blog for your hospital • Why (and how) your physicians need to stay on top of the latest

health stories to stay credible with patients• How health care communicators and physicians can collaborate

to engage and inform key audiences • About Seattle Mama Doc’s success in the first six months

11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. | ClOSIng KeynOTe How e-patients and social media will transform patient care

Dave deBronkart found himself diagnosed with stage IV kidney cancer in January 2007, with a median survival of 24 weeks. But deBronkart—or e-Patient Dave, as he’s known online—did everything he could to help his case. First and perhaps most important, despite the odds, Dave decided to use a

positive attitude, and do everything in his power to help his physicians. He used the internet in every way possible: He joined a smart patient community, he shared his online medical records with family and friends, and he started an online CaringBridge support network. More than three years later, the healthy e-patient advocate brings inspiration to fellow patients and delivers a wake-up call to health care communicators, physicians and providers.This session will show you how to:• Understand how the internet has genuinely changed what

e-patients can contribute• Empower your e-patients: Make them partners with their doctors

through participatory medicine• Engage with your e-patients: Encourage them to understand

their health and participate actively in care decisionsDave debronkart, “e-Patient Dave,” may be the leading spokesperson for the e-patient movement. A high-tech executive and online community leader for many years, he was diagnosed in 2007 with stage IV kidney cancer. He used the Internet in every way possible to partner with his care team and beat this unbeatable disease. Today he is cancer-free.

Video and social media: Evolution, not revolution a look at Kaiser Permanente’s journey and lessons learned

In 2009, it was the Flip. In 2010, it was the Zi8. In 2011...it’s a whole new world for Kaiser Permanente, one that’s involved spending a little bit more money but

getting dramatically better results. In this session, Vince Golla will talk about

Kaiser Permanente’s use of video in its PR activities, lessons learned and how the team concluded that free is great, cheap is better, but the best solution ultimately is “you’ve gotta spend money to make money.”

Or, more precisely, if you spend a little bit, and wisely, up front, you’ll not only save a ton of time and money in the long term, but you’ll also build an agile, intelligent video-gathering team—one that can feed a PR multimedia machine you can use to reach customers, soon-to-be customers and a general public hungry to see organizations “show—not tell” why consumers should be attracted to their brand and what it stands for.

You’ll learn: • How Kaiser Permanente learned the hard

way what the Flip and Zi8 (and their brethren) can and can’t do

• How to navigate through a complicated organization to arrive at a workable multime-dia solution for a communications team

• How to find and tap the video expertise already working inside your organization

• How to shop with confidence to find video equipment that is perfect for a communications “prosumer” user

• And how to edit it, package it and present it to your video-hungry audiences

vince golla is Digital Media and Syndication Director at Kaiser Permanente. Tasked with managing Kaiser Permanente’s digital reputation, he is accountable for creating and executing against a strategy that comprehensively tells the Kaiser Permanente story in the digital space. Operationally, that includes managing Kaiser Permanente’s national Twitter handles, Facebook fan page, YouTube channel, LinkedIn alumni page and other channels.

How one hospital’s end-of-life care program earned the label of ‘the best place to die’

Gundersen Lutheran Health System in La Crosse, Wis., found itself in the middle of the “death panels” debate, but they chose to do so. A potential PR firestorm hit when national politicians used advance care planning as a political football during the presidential campaign. Instead of avoiding the subject, the

Gundersen Lutheran PR team invited NPR, ABC, The Washington Post and other national media members to see what advance care planning is really like. Despite the negative headline, “Why La Crosse, Wisconsin is the best place to die,” the plan worked. Gundersen Lutheran gained positive international attention toward one of the most important issues facing hospitals: end-of-life care and most importantly international exposure to the system’s Respecting Choices program.

Chris Stauffer, Gundersen Lutheran’s media and communica-tions director, will discuss why the PR team decided to openly discuss end-of-life care and what it means for all of us. He’ll also talk about telling the truth to the media, using their emotions against them and finally a discussion on how Gundersen Lutheran has turned national exposure into other opportunities. • Don’t want to talk about death? What if you are really good at it? • No talking points. Just the truth. • The media wants emotion. We used their emotions against them. • After death.... what could possibly be next?Chris Stauffer has been with Gundersen Lutheran Health System for six years. He’s helped bring NBC, ABC, BBC, Good Morning America, The Today Show and other national media outlets to La Crosse, Wisconsin to feature everything from multiple sets of twins delivered by the same doctor to end of life care.

an inside look at Mayo Clinic’s Center for Social Media: the evolution of social media in health care communications

media to do well by doing good• How using social media externally makes

the best case for internal applications• Why social media is a key to higher

productivity, not a time-waster to be blocked by IT
