This document discusses Canadian physicians' use of social media based on available research. It finds limited data but indicates use is increasing personally and professionally. Physicians are cautious due to privacy, liability and time concerns. Benefits of social media include communicating with patients and peers, research, and public health monitoring. Medical associations are more actively using social media than individual doctors. Overall, the prognosis is that Canadian physicians' social media use will continue growing as benefits become clearer.
22 Reasons Why Social Media is the Future of Patient RelationshipsNicole Stagg
The fact is, health care professionals cannot ignore social media any longer. Existing patients expect them to be on social media, and prospective patients use social media to learn more about a provider. Here, 22 more reasons why social media needs to be a made a priority for health and wellness providers.

Doctors who use social media not only can spread the word about new medical updates, treatments or other relevant news, but also specific information about their practices. Dr. Howard Luks, an orthopedic surgeon, says: “Only the oil refinery business lags behind health care in digital media adoption.” For doctors, it is no longer practical not to have an online presence. While it might seem foolish to be updating a Facebook page or uploading YouTube videos, there are plenty of advantages.

Social media in health--what are the safety concerns for health consumers? Luis Fernandez Luque
Social media in health--what are the safety concerns for health consumers? by Lau AY, Gabarron E, Fernandez-Luque L, Armayones M. HIM J. 2012;41(2):30-5. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23705132
Abstract: Recent literature has discussed the unintended consequences of clinical information technologies (IT) on patient safety, yet there has been little discussion about the safety concerns in the area of consumer health IT. This paper
presents a range of safety concerns for consumers in social media, with a case study on YouTube. We conducted a scan of abstracts on ‘quality criteria’ related to YouTube. Five areas regarding the safety of YouTube for consumers were identified: (a) harmful health material targeted at consumers (such as inappropriate marketing of tobacco or direct-to-consumer drug advertising); (b) public display of unhealthy behaviour (such as people displaying self-injury behaviours or hurting others); (c) tainted public health messages (i.e. the rise of negative voices against public health messages); (d) psychological impact from accessing inappropriate, offensive or biased social media content; and (e) using social media to distort policy and research funding agendas. The examples presented should contribute to a better understanding about how to promote a safe consumption and production of social
media for consumers, and an evidence-based approach to designing social media interventions for health. The
potential harm associated with the use of unsafe social media content on the Internet is a major concern. More empirical and theoretical studies are needed to examine how social media influences consumer health decisions, behaviours and outcomes, and devise ways to deter the dissemination of harmful influences in social media.

This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

1. Canadian physicians and social
media: A prognosis
BC Patient Safety and Quality Council
March 7, 2012
Pat Rich – Director, CMA Online Content
2. The agenda
1. Introduction
2. What we know (and don’t know) about Canadian
doctors and their use of social media
3. Why your family doctor is probably not using SM
4. Why a doctor should consider SM
5. Physician champions
6. What medical associations are doing
7. Other resources
4. What we know about MDs and SM
Limited good data on physicians and social media
use for professional purposes (even less for
Canadian MDs)
What we do know:
Physicians mirror rest of society in use of social
media for personal reasons
Use of social media by physicians professionally
is increasing
5. What we know about MDs and SM II
Hot off Twitter: Randomized sample of 307 US
physicians conducted in summer of 2011 by
Deloitte Center for Health Solutions
6% report using social networks to
communicate with patients
6. What we know about MDs and SM III
Canadian Medical Association ePanel Survey
2010
647 respondents (20% response rate)
nonrandomized volunteers
80% believed SM poses legal and professional
risks
Use of social media professionally - Facebook –
1%, Twitter – 11%, Other social networking sites –
22%, Blog – 19%
7. Epanel comments
“Given the weight of privacy issues, using social
media in a physician-patient relationship is a
dangerous trap, best to be avoided.”
vs.
“Social media is very important for us and should be
harnessed. I greatly welcome this for patient-
patient and physician-physician interaction.”
8. Why your doctor is probably not
using SM
Time
Money
Regulatory environment
Privacy/security concerns
Boundary issues
Lack of knowledge about technology
Lack of proven clinical benefit
9. Why your doctor is probably not
using SM II
Regulatory environment
College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC - 2010
Excellent, detailed document, setting down exactly what
risks physicians face by using social media
Language does not encourage SM use
* “exercise caution …”
* “proceed carefully …”
* exercise restraint …”
10. Why your doctor is probably not
using SM III
The Council has recently become aware that some
physicians have posted information on Facebook
… such that specific patients have been
inadvertently identified…Council does not believe
there is ever a need, or a point, to posting any
information regarding a physician’s professional or
clinical activity in such a fashion, considering the
many risks and no discernable benefits.
College of Physicians and Surgeons of New Brunswick
11. Why your doctor is probably not
using SM IV
Canadian Medical Protective Association – June 2010
We’d rather you didn’t but if you do …
“While physicians are aware that disclosing patient
information in public spaces such as hallways and
elevators may breach their duty to protect patient
confidentiality and privacy, they may not realize
similar discussions on social networking or
professional websites can also constitute a breach.”
12. Why your doctor is probably not
using SM - V
They have no time in busy practice dominated by
individual patient care
They don’t get paid to do it
They don’t understand the technology and what
they have heard about Facebook or Twitter doesn’t
encourage them
They don’t see how SM could be used to improve
the care they deliver
13. Why a doctor should consider SM
To communicate more effectively with groups of
patients or the public
To stay better informed and up-to-date about
medical or health developments
To exchange information with peers on a secure
network
To monitor public health trends
To conduct medical research
14. Why a doctor should consider SM II
New and effective ways to communicate with and
engage patients
Write a blog to update people on useful
health information
Correct erroneous information online
Post videos on YouTubes informing or
educating patients about medical procedures
Start a Twitter account to tweet from medical
conferences
Moderate a patient community discussion
15. “…as a profession we are just
coming to understand how
these social media can help us
interact and communicate
better to engage in
conversations about health or
to more effectively deliver
messages about better health
…Don’t expect your doctor to
be your “friend” on Facebook
but don’t be surprised as you
see more and more doctors
using these social media tools
in ways that can help make
everybody’s health better.”
Dr. John Haggie, CMA President
16. Physician academic perspective
“It is an important challenge for us as researchers and
health system leaders to work with the public to find
ways to use the social media to achieve the ideal
state … where important decisions are based upon
a combination of evidence of needs and impacts;
costs and affordability; and fairness and justice.”
Andreas Laupacis
Notes for the Justice Emmett Hall Lecture
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
May 11, 2011
24. Medical Associations
Generally more proactive than individual MDs in
use of social media to engage their members and
communicate with members and the public
British Columbia Medical Association a pioneer in
its use of Facebook about 3 years ago
“[As] with any social media campaign, when you want to get
people talking, we started the conversation with a question:
do you think addiction is a disease or a human failing?”
Sharon Shore, BCMA Communications and Public
Affairs Officer
25. Medical Associations II
Canadian Medical Association
Launched social networking site for physicians
(Asklepios) in 2008
First Twitter feed in 2009 (@cmaer)
Twitter # with annual meeting starting in 2009
Public engagement campaign

Developed SM guidelines for members 2011
26. Tips from an icon
“Don’t be banal, self promote excessively,
share confidential material (especially about
patients), be a troll, break the law, commit a
libel, or overdo it.”
Dr. Richard Smith, BMJ, March 1, 2012
