Editor's Notes
- What to tweet? Better times to tweet.
- http://socialmediatoday.com/joelselzer/436538/google-and-why-every-healthcare-organization-needs-social-profile Search and Google+ have merged , meaning social profiles and content from Google+ will now appear in search results So what does this mean for you and your healthcare organization? Remember, 61% of all adults search for health information online which means every healthcare organization and medical professional needs to create, monitor and proactively manage their profile on Google+. This is both a branding and marketing opportunity as well as a potential curse. Right now, patients are discussing you and/or your organization after visiting your hospital or using your healthcare service or product. They are posting reviews and sharing their experiences on Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Foursquare and Yelp. If you are proactive, you can not only monitor and respond to the reviews on each site but you can also use Google+ and Google's search changes to your advantage. By creating a Google+ profile and posting content that favors your brand and professional reputation, you can directly influence Google's search results because those results now highlight social inputs coming from Google+. Simply put, this is your chance to kill two birds with one stone. Thanks to Google, you can not only engage with patients and providers on Google+, but also craft your social engagement strategy to reinforce your online brand and drive more favorable search results.
- Pinterest is one of the fastest growing social media sites Pins link to outside sources: blog entries, recipes, online stores, website pages /images Pins can be collected and shared through “re-pinning” (posting someone else’s pin on your board), commenting, or “liking” pins 68% of users are female, main age group is 25-44 Over 10 million registered users
- Set reasonable goals – we are giving you a high level overview of some sm tools. Set reasonable goals – investment of time and resources Don’t do it all at once. Start with one tool. If you build it, they will come NOT. Have a plan in place and the resources and interest to maintain The more things change, the more things change – these tools are everchanging. Are you ready? – start out by “lurking” or “listening” to conversations check the transcripts and sit in and watch a #hcsmca chat when you are ready decide what your goals are and what tools to use and start to participate! @susangiurleo Psychologist in Boston http://drsusangiurleo.com/5-signs-youre-ready-to-use-social-media-and-5-signs-youre-not/
- Visual factsheets or processes break down factual information into smaller sections with visual interest Infographics are frequently shared on Facebook and Pinterest Can also be used as print items or displays Easel.ly
- Getting the word out, leveraging your networks, cross posting, hashtags
- Give SickKids example.
- These are reasonable, but to to the uninitiated I would suggest a few words of caution and commentary to this list. Firstly, the insights suggested by Neiger and colleagues “ can be derived from practices such as sentiment analysis or data mining that uses algorithms to extract consumer attitudes and other perspectives on a particular topic ” (p.162). While not incorrect, this makes the job sound relatively simple and it is not. Qualitative analysis + quantitative metrics such as those derived from data mining are key. Context counts immeasurably in social media use. It’s only in situations where social media is used as a broadcasting tool that gross measures of likes and sentiment analysis work with little qualification. Even that is problematic. Counts of ‘likes’, ‘visits’, ‘follows’ and such are highly problematic and can be easily gamed. I am ‘ followed’ on Twitter by people who have tens of thousands of followers, yet virtually no presence online. Most often they are from marketing fields where the standard practice is to always follow back those who follow you. Do this enough and pretty quickly you, too can have 23,000 followers and follow 20,000 more. This is meaningless from the perspective of developing relationships. Engagement is the most meaningful of these metrics and the hardest to fully apply. This category gets us to consider the difference between “OMG! AWESOME!” and “That last post made me think of this situation [described here] and I suggest you read [reference] here for more” as comments. Without understanding the context in which these are made within the post, between posts (temporally and sequentially), and in relation to a larger social and informational context, simple text analysis won’t do. Social Media Evidence: Problems and More Problems One of the objections to the use of social media by some is that it is not evidence-based. To that extent I would largely agree that this is the case, but then we’ve been jumping out of airplanes with parachutes despite any randomized controlled trial to prove their worth .
