The Horizons team
• We tune into the latest change thinking
and practice in healthcare and other
industries around the world –

NHS and health and care
system

Twitter for healthcare
improvement
Whilst multiple social media channels
are used in healthcare improvement,
Twitter is the number one channel for
sharing and influencing

On a scale of one to ten, how
experienced are you at Twitter?
1 is low (I know very little)
10 is high (lots of experience)
A human continuum

On a scale of one to ten, how
experienced are you at Twitter?
1 is low (I know very little)
10 is high (I know a lot)

The challenge: post a tweet with the hashtag
#MEForum2018 that someone else responds to
(retweets or replies) by the end of this session
To meet the challenge, we need to build a sense of
community, look out for other people’s tweets with
the hashtag #MEForum and reply to them

Social media represents a global
shift in how the health and care
system, people, patients,
professionals and students connect

The healthcare industry is changing with
incredible speed, and one of the major
contributors to this change is the dramatic
upsurge in healthcare communication
brought on by social media

Peers are now as credible as experts

We are witnessing the collapse of expertise
and rise of collaborative sensemaking

Find the 3%!
Just 3% of people in the
organisation or system typically
influence 85% of the other people

From module one

The 3% rule also appears true for
social media

In health and
healthcare globally,
tweets by 3.3% of
tweeters accounted
for 85% of retweets

Most social media operates within an
echo chamber

What are the biggest opportunities for
healthcare improvers in an era of social media?
• As curators and sharers of knowledge
• As bridge builders between disconnected
groups

We need to embrace social media
“An organisation that doesn’t embrace the
digital expressiveness of its people is creating a
disconnect and also a lost opportunity. The use
of social media avenues to break down barriers
to inclusiveness is effective in organisations of
any size, especially those that are geographically
dispersed.”

3 principles for spreading change
ACTIONABLE: The idea is designed to make
you do something. It might start with sharing but
it’s a call to action
CONNECTED: The idea promotes a closer
connection with people you care about or share
values with. It makes you feel part of a community
and the network effect creates further spread
EXTENSIBLE: The idea can be easily
customised, remixed, reshaped by people taking
part. It’s structured with a common stem that
encourages communities to alter and extend it
Jeremy Heimens, Henry Timms
New Power: How it’s changing the 21st

Making sure that only
people who should be in
hospital are in hospital• The number of hospital beds occupied by
patients whose transfer of care has been
delayed should be reduced to 3.5%
• Less than 15% of assessments [for continuing
care] should take place in an acute hospital
setting;
• a standardised performance dashboard

70 day challenge:
to give patients
back one million
days of their
precious time
that would
otherwise be
wasted in bed in a
hospital or care
home.@HelenBevan @RachelAnnMorris #MEForum2018
