A Balanced Approach to Professionalism
• Avoiding faux pas is important but cannot be
the only standard for judging professionalism
in social media
• Professionalism is more than the absence of
unprofessional conduct
• Professionals have a moral obligation to use
available tools effectively on behalf of those
they serve
Key Elements
• All policies apply in social media, too
• Privacy
• Mutual Respect
• Computer use
• Generally don’t “friend” patients
• Remember the “front page” rule
Guidelines for Mayo Employees
Implication
• You already have most of the risks... why not
also get some of the benefits from these
powerful tools?
#9: Mass Media will remain
important levers that move - and
are moved by - social media

The Octogenarian Idol Story
• Alerted to interesting video of elderly couple

Basic Social Media “Food Groups”
Blogs: The Undiscovered Territory
• A blog is just an easy-to-publish Web site that
allows comments
• Blogs can match look and feel of your Web
site and infuse dynamic content
• Blogs give you a social media “home base”
• Blogs give you much more control over user
experience than any other social platform
Sharing Mayo Clinic/Patient Stories Example
• Relevant patient stories help patients choose
Mayo Clinic
• Patient stories on MayoClinic.org were formerly
freelancer-produced, relatively expensive
• Sharing Mayo Clinic - stories in patients’ own
words - launched in 2009
• 2012 Project combined Sharing and legacy
stories, featured on .org disease/condition pages
through “Mayo Consumer Vocabulary” tagging

Don’t Consider Social Media in Isolation
• Not a silver bullet
• Seek synergy with existing means of
communication
• Necessary but likely not sufficient
• Need to justify NOT using social media
Structure and Staffing
• Start by finding core internal champions
• Train the trainers
• Engage broader employee population
• Avoid HACK syndrome
• Let social staffing grow gradually
