A Brief History of Social Media at Mayo Clinic and Six more magic words

Start Small.Think Big.Move Fast.

Mayo Clinic Medical EdgeSyndicated News Media Resources

First Foray in “New” Media• Existing Medical Edge radio mp3s• Launched Sept. ‘05; Downloads up 8,217 percent Oct. vs. Aug.

Regrouping to PlanJust as genomics is the future of personalizedmedicine, personalized media are changing theway people get the news and information theywant and need. But as genomics increasinglysupplements and improves traditional medicinewithout replacing it, new media are helpfuladditions to mainstream, mass media. Westrongly recommend reforming our processesto efficiently produce content that can be usedfor both mass media and personalized media. Content Creation Task Force, 7/26/2006

We recommend a three-phase approach. First,take our existing products and, with minimumincremental effort, place them in new mediaformats. Second... work across teams ... to makebest use of the audio and video productionresources we have. Third, get more resources...to produce timely or even daily content...We have not recommended a blog strategy atthis time, primarily because we have emphasizeddeveloping audio and video content that couldhave multiple uses in both mass media andpersonalized media, with relatively limitedphysician involvement.

A Broader Historical Perspective...

Thesis #1: Air was theoriginal social medium

Mayo Clinic and Word of Mouth• 91 percent of patients surveyed say they have said “good things” to an average of 40 people after a Mayo visit• 85 percent say they recommended Mayo to a friend − Advised an average of 16 to come − 5 actually came

Sources of Information Influencing Preference for Mayo Clinic Word of mouth 84Stories in the media 57MD recommendation 44 Advertising 27 Internet/Websites 26Personal experience 24 Mailings to home 18 0 20 40 60 80 100

#2: Electronic tools merely facilitate broader, more efficient transmission by overcoming inertia and friction

#4: Social media are thethird millennium’s defining communications trend

Gutenberg: Global Mass LiteracyZuckerberg: Global Mass Publishing

Does he think social media are a passing fad?

#7: Hand-wringing aboutmerits and dangers of social media is as productive as debating gravity

If you think blocking is a viable long-term option...

Implication• You already have most of the risks... why not also get some of the benefits from these powerful tools?

#9: Mass media will remainpowerful levers that move -- and are moved by -- social media buzz

The Octogenarian Idol Story• Alerted to interesting video of elderly couple playing piano in Gonda atrium• Video shot by another patient and uploaded to YouTube by her daughter• Video had been seen 1,005 times in six preceding months since upload• Embedded in Sharing Mayo Clinic, posted to Facebook, Tweeted on 4/7/09

#12: Communications and marketing professionals who fail to understandsocial media flirt with media malpractice

#14: Strategic thinking aboutsocial media is no substitute for action

Working from the Outside In...• Lines from Lee/SMUG• Public Affairs Wordpress.com blog• Wordpress.com blog for symposium• Long-term external Wordpress.com blogs• Wordpress blog behind the firewall• Self-hosted Wordpress MU platform

#16: Social media toolsmake the once-scarce power of mass media available to everyone

As Uncle Ben would say...

Not that Uncle Ben. This Uncle Ben

#17: Social media are free in any ordinary sense of theword (or at least ridiculously inexpensive)

Total Cost for Mayo ClinicFacebook, YouTube and Twitter $0.00

In the European Union, based on current exchange rates: €0,00

#18: As I approaches zero, ROI approaches infinity

#22: Social Media are anessential part of a balanced communications diet

#28: Paying for advertisingwhile not taking advantageof free online opportunities isn’t particularly astute

The most harmful TV show in U.S History?• Married with Children?• Baywatch?• The Survivor series?• The A-Team?

“Kids will take a chance. If they don’t know, they’ll have a go.” -- Sir Ken Robinson, TED 2006

#29: Your kids aren’t smarter than you are. They’re just not afraid to look dumb.

#33: Social media willdecrease diffusion time for research and innovations

Discovery by Richard Berger, M.D., Ph.D. Ulnotriquetral (UT) Ligament Split Tear

Jayson Werth’s Experience

USA TodayNov 12, 2009 3031031-7

Last Friday 3031031-9

Less than 24 hours after my initial appointment, I not only had a new diagnosis - a UT split tear - but had surgery to correct the problem. As I write this, my right arm is in a festive green, but otherwise annoying cast. The short-term hassle, however, should be more than worth the long-term gain - the potential for a future without chronic wrist pain. A future, that without Twitter and those in the medical community willing to experiment with new communications tools, might not exist for me. 3031031-10

#35: Social technologies will transform healthcare

And just over a week ago...

The 37th ThesisApplying social media in health care isn’tjust inevitable: it’s the right thing to do inthe interest of patients.
