HC Practitioner Perspective Howard Luks, MD @hjluks http://www.howardluksmd.com Orthopedist | Social Media~HCR ConsultantWhy is it important for doctors to be on social media?“To educate patients! Why should the information you share be constrictedby the four walls of your office? So much information is shared throughsocial media, why should accurate information related to healthcare be anydifferent?”

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.

Benefits & Best Practices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.

Jumping In Doctors should 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.How to Differentiate Your PracticeVideo via The Doctors Channel & @NicolaZiady

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 over80 medical topics in over 17 languages.

Benefits & Best Practices 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.Importance of Social Media in MedicineVideo via The Doctors Channel & @NicolaZiady

Best PracticesIf creating content – 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.

Overall Best Practices/ConclusionsElectronic Medical 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.

Recommendations for@StJosephsHealthInstitute a training 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.
