‣ and a few others...
WHAT PHC IS DOING:In addition to producing and managing all the content on our channels, we are taking action to ensure that our channels are inviting spaces.
‣Moderating the channels for quality
‣Responding directly to users
By engaging on digital channels, we are fulfilling our obligation to transparency, crisis management, profile building, engaging patient communities, recruitment and connecting with people.
But we can’t do it alone.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
SOCIAL MEDIA FOR LEADERSHIP
‣ Share your vision with your staff. Expect your staff to learn about these tools and encourage them to participate.
‣Realize that patients expect these tools. Start developing ways to use these tools in a professional setting because people expect experts to use these tools.
‣ Participate by leading the discussion. People will seek out advice on digital channels. Rather than have no voice, share good information, recommend good sources and set the standard of discussion.
BARRIERS FOR LEADERS:‣ What would I say on these channels? What do you want to be known for? What would you
share at a conference? What would you like others to recognize you for?
‣ Newness / innovation of concept: Is this just a fad? How do we deal with all these channels? - Google is over a decade old, launched in 1998.
‣ Privacy concerns: How do we ensure patient privacy on these public channels? All professionals need to respect privacy in all communications, digital or otherwise.
‣ Liability concerns: Is my department/this hospital liable for misinterpreted communication online? Disclaimers appropriate for public communication are appropriate for digital.
‣ Professionalism concerns: These conversations are so casual, how do we maintain our professional standards of behaviour? We are on these channels. It is our decision to raise the bar of professionalism on these channels.
‣Doctors are naturally seen as experts on whom advice can be depended. Instead of leaving the public to find anything anywhere - from just anyone - online, start recommending excellent tools.
SOCIAL MEDIA FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS
‣ Continuing Education: Reputable resources exist online with in-depth instructions and demonstrations.
‣ Sharing information: Specialists are sharing knowledge and educating other doctors and patients on a wide scale by publishing online.
‣Knowledge Translation: Making standards easily available can increase uptake by other professionals and patients.
