Sharing Childrens Hospital Los Angeles' journey from zero social media involvement to full social media immersion in under one year using no new staff members. Overview of integration and alignment with existing web practices for the organization. Channels used include: • Facebook (Facebook.com/ChildrensLA) • Blog (WeAreCHLA.org) • Twitter (Twitter.com/ChildrensLA) • YouTube (YouTube.com/ChildrensLA) Conclusion is that the hospital began with a platform of what is "Our Story" and social media allows Childrens Hospital Los Angeles to have others answer the question "What is YOUR STORY about the hospital?"

Editor's Notes
- Intro Excited to chat with you Enthusiastic about Social Media Fun Authentic Reality Check The “reality” of it makes me take it very seriously I think the Key TakeAways for you are Last I checked, Children’s Hospitals all doing social media When I think about this presentation and what you might consider walking out of here with, here’s what I am expecting you to leave with today: 1. Gameplan - Just getting started 2. Comfort Level – those already engaging 3. Those ready to take it to the next level – some parting thoughts to help you reconsider your new directions.
- History of our Site – pretty outdated We had been preaching the gospel Outdated Knew we needed more interactivity (but this graphic helped us determine around what items we would build that interactivity Need more oomph out of the gate on this slide.
- ULTRA-CONSERVATIVE HISTORY AND LEADERSHIP OF OUR HOSPITAL. Board members still not using eMail Early sentiment about social networking = NOT GOOD
- YELP * White Paper was great * Saved us because the meeting
- Wanted to be authentic. Wanted our staff to be a part of that authenticity. Ask was not just that we open up social media channels. Was that we open up those same channels to the house so that people could take part.
- In Preparing for the Ask . . .
- Changed little about what we were doing as far as content creation. Just changed how we offered it to people and where they could find this information online.
- History of the blog . . . you’ll notice addition of a blog on this slide. After we had already received approval to add the three channels, we realized that, a great way to keep people connected to us might be through a blog – if we’ve got these stories and we want to give people the ability to be more interactive with us, a blog would be a much better way to handle than with stand-alone pages.
- Facebook Fan Page Approach to our fan page is that, as much as we possibly can, we want things to be about our fans. Focus first of all because we figured that this would have the greatest impact on those who care about us – those who are closest to us. We would feel closest to them and they would probably feel closest to us.
- Facebook Fan Page – focus first of all because we figured that this would have the greatest impact on those who care about us – those who are closest to us. We would feel closest to them and they would probably feel closest to us.
- Facebook Fan Page – focus first of all because we figured that this would have the greatest impact on those who care about us – those who are closest to us. We would feel closest to them and they would probably feel closest to us. The other thing that we have to remember is that, all of this is public, so our own staff can see it – what a shot in the arm for those who are having a bad day.
- Facebook Fan Page – focus first of all because we figured that this would have the greatest impact on those who care about us – those who are closest to us. We would feel closest to them and they would probably feel closest to us. We love Facebook . . . Facebook more than anything has taught us that these are real people on the other end of the line. The families have openly asked . . . “hey what about us?” when we’ve gotten too celebrity-centric in our focus. Oatmeal story New couch story Things that are simple are the best conversation starters
- Celebrity Videos Celebrity videos have garnered the most attention (specifically that of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony). This was anticipated and is in line with known social media best practices. Niche Audiences The web team did not anticipate how well the videos about Emily Bear, the child prodigy pianist would do. This video held amazing appeal for pianists interested in helping each other learn to play the original piece. Nursing In general, videos about nursing have fared better than videos regarding “miraculous” transformations of children’s lives via surgical or physician intervention. This also has surprised the web team. If this trend continues, our nursing videos from a hospital recruitment perspective should result in huge dividends for CHLA. The Web Team will pay more attention to applying tags for nursing specialties to promote improved viewing levels for these videos.

- Patients aren’t going to self-identify as “patients.” They may self-identify as having a disease, but how will you be able to target those people from among your followers. Analytics on Twitter are just beginning to get sophisticated.
