- 6. HC Practitioner Perspective Howard Luks, MD @hjluks http://www.howardluksmd.com Orthopedist | Social Media~HCR Consultant Why is it important for doctors to be on social media? “To educate patients! Why should the information you share be constricted by the four walls of your office? So much information is shared through social media, why should accurate information related to healthcare be any different?”
- 7. Benefits of SM Patients become educated – provides for an efficient, effective and less stressful visit. SM humanizes your presence – patients are more comfortable. Bi-directional communication following visits.
- 8. Benefits & BestPractices Why do I share information? “85% or patients utilize the Internet to research their disease, physician or healthcare institution.” Lack of education, training Provides tools to allow for more docs to engage Reach patients on multiple channels Providers can also use sm to discuss amongst themselves and continue learning.
- 9. Jumping In Doctorsshould not use sm for the purpose of marketing, however, it may be a byproduct of it. How would one start? Create a simple blog or website. Docs create content on a daily basis put it online to share with others. After initial start, determine level of involvement with sm.

- 10. HC Pro/Teacher Perspective Bertalan Meskó, MD @Berci http://www.webicina.com/ Medical doctor, founder of Webicina.com, speaker, blogger, university lecturer, health 2.0 consultant, Wikipedia administrator doing PhD in genomics. World’s 1st & only free service of curated medical sm resources in over 80 medical topics in over 17 languages.
- 11. Benefits & BestPractices How should docs start? Take Social MEDia Course on Webicina, however, more important is simple practice. Not every doc has to create content, but every doc needs to be aware of it or how to find it. Docs need to be aware of and use sm – be able to refer patients to online support groups, tools, etc., and share info with other docs.

- 12. Best Practices If creatingcontent – evaluate. Are you creating value? Don’t jump on band wagon. Docs need to be aware of privacy and legality issues. SM supports doc/patient relationship, but should never replace. Be creative. Even surgeons like games. Education is the key. Teaching med students value of sm – just discussed @ Stanford.

- 22. Overall Best Practices/Conclusions ElectronicMedical Records (EMR) are a given. Future: all info will be online – collected @ all touch points. Providers should be on sm – even if it is just to practice. SM is not going away in hc – docs need to be educated – about benefits and legalities. Interactions in hc are getting smart. Both docs & patients want it. SM is changing the face of hc – those who keep up will be the ones who benefit. SM marketing can pinpoint patient needs.
- 23. Recommendations for @StJosephsHealth Institute atraining program for docs re: benefits, legalities, resources and how-to of sm. Encourage development of apps and/or smart phone use. Continue to refine marketing to needs/wants of patients. Start a hospital blog with expert authors, relevant info. Push through SM channels. Work to actively engage hc community through sm (vs. pushing info). Continue transition to EMR.

Editor's Notes
- #8 Video is a great way to humanize your presence! Bi-directional: Patients continue to use sm for research and can follow-up with doc in person or via sm.
- #10 Patients using sm is not going away – providers need to become aware of tools and how to integrate them.
- #11 Healthcare information was hard to find – wanted to pull together curation of relevant info for sm in hc. Webcina: Offers sm information to both docs & patients for free. Also provides training for docs on how to and how best to use sm.
- #12 E-patients are growing: 1-2 years ago, a patient brought Google results to appointment Today, more than half
- #13 Don’t jump on band wagon – evaluate new sm resources for value before simply utilizing. For example, there was a hospital that recently took pictures of a live heart transplant through Instagram – why Instagram? Did it add anymore value? Be creative – Berci saw how Nintendo Wii was used to train surgeons to do laparoscopic surgeries. They acquired same skills, but had fun doing it.
- #18 Pictures: Posts with pictures get more clicks. Simple, eye catching. Branding: Cleveland Clinic logo CTA link to blog: Call to action has a hyperlink back to the Cleveland Clinic’s blog – hosted on their website Medical Experts: MDs author blog – they have bios, pictures - human Timing: Post was made at 11:30 Bi-directional: Most posts try and engage the viewer in a conversation
- #19 SM is beginning to save lives – engagement in discussions they may not have with their doctor. Distance is dead – you can get a second opinion from anywhere. Best practice is practice – for both doctors and patients.
- #20 Smart phones: allowing patients to track their disease, scan products to get health information, health journals
- #21 Exact targeting – e newsletters, texts, etc. to specific needs/wants of patients – where do they go when they visit your site? What do they discuss on sm?
- #22 Apps allow for less visits – can take a picture and send to doctor, can send test results to patient and decide a follow-up is not needed, can make appointments, track meds, record conversations and transcribe directions, patients can document personal health information and insurance – so don’t have to fill out forms all the time
