How does social media fit into the ethical, legal and professional boundaries of oncology nursing? What are concerns and opportunities that an oncology nurse must be aware of when interacting with colleagues, patients and professional social media sites?
At the end of this activity, the learner will be able to:
State the ethical, legal and social justice elements of social media.
Describe how to integrate social media into the practice of oncology nursing.
Develop tools and skills to apply social media to the oncology nurses’ professional and personal daily activities.
Presented in February of 2014 to ONS Chapter meetings.

Dave deBronkart, a survivor of Stage IV liver cancer, may be the leading spokesperson for the e-Patient movement. E-Patients are Empowered, Engaged, Equipped and Enabled and Expert. They know more about their own health, and their health care experience, than any other member of their care team. Dave shared his own story about becoming an e-Patient, and left us inspired and informed about how to “let patients help” improve health care.
The goal of the American Cancer society is to create a portal to educate cancer patients, caregivers, family and friends of cancer patients. This application seeks to remove the burden on the user by serving as a one stop solution for all the information the user needs to educate themselves about a family member’s diagnosis. Most importantly, the application will deliver personalized content to the user about the patient’s disease based on the patient’s diagnosis, treatment options for the diagnosis, drugs for treatment and the side effects associated with each drug. Users will also get tips on dealing with cancer patients and receive stories of hope.

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.

The 2014 annual meeting of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, in Nashville. One of my favorite talks of all time - nurse practitioners are by nature highly committed to putting power and competence in the hands of patients.
Connects to the social roots of the movement, particularly the women's movement, and emphasizes the patient's view: is it really a PROBLEM that we're surviving long enough to get chronic conditions?? Standing ovation.

In 2012 I spoke to this outstanding organization in York, PA, in Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Aligning Forces for Quality program. Now we're getting back together to see how their work and the patient engagement and empowerment movement have both progressed, and what's next. First exploratory meeting.
The history of medicine has been a continuous evolution of methods, models, and paradigms as what's possible has changed with new technology. Today the frontier of medicine is "superpatients" - patients who don't just receive care, they literally extend science and create treatments: truly "super" patients. Video of this talk will be available soon!

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.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
