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

If you’re still in doubt, ask these guys:

#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?

“What about the negative comments or complaints?”• Anonymity is responsible for most irresponsible trollish behavior• Those grinding axes already have free opportunities to broadast worldwide• Preferable to air complaints in platform on which we have significant influence• “The solution to pollution is dilution.”

#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

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

#35: Social technologies will transform healthcare

And just last month...

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