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

#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

#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...

#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

#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 technologieswill transform healthcare

Mayo Clinic Proceedings - Sept. 2011

As seen in the Wall Street Journal...

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

Transformation:The genesis of new possibilities through rearranging what was already there Same material; but now flight is possible

The ability to create value in healthcare depends on access to information

4 True stories • My kidney cancer • Monique’s painful side effect • Robin’s Cushing’s med • Facebook brings vital information

What do you do when you’re diagnosed with... Stage IV, Grade 4Renal CellCarcinoma ?

“My doctor prescribed ACOR”

ACOR members told me:• The median isn’t the message• This is an uncommon disease – get to a hospital that does a lot of cases• There’s no cure, but HDIL-2 sometimes works. – When it does, about half the time it’s permanent – The side effects are severe.• Don’t let them give you anything else first• Here are four doctors in your area who do it

Radical Proposition 1 Genuine value in healthcare can and does arise from people with no medical training.

“May Require Refrigeration” cushings365.posterous.com, 9 / 17 / 10• “Panic! For the first time, I got a note on my florinef that it might (MIGHT?) need to be refrigerated. • I didnt know that. Should I have been doing that all along? • No one told me.”• “I called the pharmacy. • They read what is on the printout which comes with the drug. I had already read that. It wasnt helpful.”

“May Require Refrigeration” cushings365.posterous.com, 9 / 17 / 10• “So, I asked the ones who know. My "Cushie" friends who take it. Those who have had BLA’s.• “The verdict: – No, thats a generic warning with fludrocortisone (generic). – Only at extreme temps should it be refrigerated in the U.S. – Some of the brands in the UK and other countries need refrigerated.”

Today, because of the Web, patients can connect to informationand to each other (and other doctors)

Web 2.0: “When the web began to harness Charlene Lithe intelligence of its users” – Tim O’Reilly (“Groundswell”) “Social networks will be like air”

Cluetrain Manifesto, 1999: “Markets are Conversations”30 years ago the “marketing funnel” was this: (Graphics by Forrester)Today’s buyer progresses like this:

• 75% of US adults are online• 80% of them look for health info• That’s 60% of US adults – A filibuster-proof majority

Radical Proposition 2 “The people on ACOR don’t need our help and they don’t need our permission.”

How a kidney cancer wife foundthe info she needed• No insurance; no treatment. Then:• Three bad hospitals; no help. Then:• A friend said “I know a guy... on Twitter”

The ability to create value in healthcare depends on access to information

The internetchanges everything. Transformation

Evolution of Social Health Now Information finds patients/doctors 2000’s Patients find eachother 1990’s Patients find information Long ago Patients depend on what they’re told

MD’s Evolving Role Technology MD Third PartyDiagnostic imaging Payors Predictive care PBMsPersonalized care Evidence-based care Health 2.0 Empowered patient Social networks Unlimited info

Where are the Doctors?The slow adoption of MDs in social media 1. Late adopters 2. Time/impa2ence 3. Social needs passion 4. Issues with privacy, liability, image

Surgeons on Twitter2010 American College of Surgeons Survey 26% use daily 20% 50% use rarely 80% Percentage of surgeons using Twitter http://www.facs.org/clincon2010/press/thurs.pdf

Do physicians have an obliga2on to be in the online space? 60,000 Number of pediatricians in the AAP

Technology Leads MDs & Law Adjust expectations MD LawTechnology Progress

The way the we respond to change will deﬁne the future of the medical profession Look at content crea+on and social engagement from the perspec+ve of opportunity rather than risk
