What is Social Media?
Health promotion and social media final   dec
“Social media is the democratisation of
 knowledge and information and
 transforming readers from content
 consumers to content producers. It is
 the shift from a broadcast mechanism,
 one- to-many, to a many-to-many model,
 rooted in conversations between authors,
 people and peers.” Brian Solis

Twitter & it’s Reach
Am presenting on Social Media & Health
 Promotion in Sydney this morning. Please tweet
 back and tell me where you are from.
WHY SHOULD I BOTHER?
 • Why should I use social media?
 • How will it help me do my work?
 • Is it safe?
 • How will it help me engage with the
   communities that I work with?
 • Is it really a valid setting for health
   promotion?
Busting Myths!
• Social media limits human interaction.
• Social media is not for health professionals
   -we prefer face-to-face.
• Social media = sitting at my desk longer.
• Social media is for social stuff- not work!
• I don‟t need to learn a new technology- email
is enough!
Barriers
  What I‟m not going to talk about today:
  • Risks – personal and professional
  • Privacy – yours/ours
  • Confidentiality – patient-doctor, client-
    healthcare provider.

  Professionals http://ama.com.au/socialmedia
How do/can physicians use Social Media?
• To treat – using social technologies as a means
  of providing direct patient care.
• To teach - using social technologies as a means
  of providing a credible opinion and review of
  health/medical news & reports for the public.
• To learn - using social technologies as a means
  of supporting their own life-long learning –
  providing a learning and decision-making
  resource based on the collective knowledge of
  their own „network‟.

Social Media for Health Promotion?
 Why use social media & new technology?
 • Social media/internet- places where people go: A
   unique setting for health promotion
 • To ensure your programs are accessible and familiar
   to communities you work with;
 • You are engaging in relevant ways;
 • You provide opportunities for people to control their
   own content & develop their health literacy;
 • A method for delivering behaviour change
   interventions.
 • (REF:Social Media use in Youth Health Promotion - South Australia 2011)
Health promotion on #SocMe
• Examples of subject related activity
 ▫ I work in a public vaccination programme-
   who can I connect with?



 ▫ How can I connect with aboriginal youth on
   social media about smoking? Are they there?

Social Media for Health Care
Professionals –
What else can I use it for?
• Research Dissemination
• Education
• Networking and Collaboration
• Patient Information & Care
• Mobile Health (mHealth)
Research & Social Media: dissemination,
recruitment, meetings
 • ‘Social media is slowly infiltrating the ivory
   tower!’
 • Knowledge identification: tapping into your
   networks- what are they reading/ reviewing? Social
   bookmarking
 • Research dissemination: blogs, tweets, video
 • Recruitment- „crowdsourcing‟ e.g. Mayo Clinic –
   SCAD lead to research. Open Access peer-reviewed
   journals e.g. PLoS One – ability to make comments,
   measure of impact
 • Research collaboration – Wiki‟s, Google Docs, Drop
   Box etc.
Social Media & Education
• SlideShare – presentations & feedback
• You Tube- procedures, grand rounds,
  information – not just viewing video but
  sharing, commenting, linking...
• Twitter – capacity to support learning,
  build on conversations outside of
  workshop or meeting
• Podcasts – listen on the go, when it suits
  you.
Health promotion and social media final   dec
Networking & Collaboration
• LinkedIn – professional profile, professional
  groups
• Twitter – personal & professional tweeting-
  crowdsourcing
• Conference tweeting – additional interaction,
  networking
• Blogs- http://meta4rn.com/ Life in The Fast Lane,
• Wiki‟s, Google.Docs, DropBox (store&share files)
• Skype (person to person phone/video, screen
  sharing, group conferences); GoToMeeting,
  WebEx (web conferences, on-line presentations)
Your clients/communities & Social Media
• They‟re already there! Talking,
  posting, reviewing, sharing knowledge.
• Facebook- pages, communities, support groups,
  public health campaigns
• Blogs- 1000‟s- mental health, sexual health,
  refugee health, disease related, treatment related,
  alternative-views related- e.g. vaccination
• Tweeting about health service providers and the
  care they receive – every hospital, every service.
• After-hours connection- particularly useful for
  mental health services, younger people‟s health
  services
Where to next?
• Need for multiple channels of
  communication and engagement

• Change the way we think about education,
  knowledge dissemination, research and
  community education- beyond the pamphlet
  & posters!

• Sign Up- stay professional - contribute!

Editor's Notes

  • #14: Whilst this is about clinicians it’s something that probably translates to health professionals in general
  • #16: I visited the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota last year as part of a study tour I undertook. I was awarded a scholarship it investigate whether social media was a valid tool for healthcare professional and organizationsWhole of organisation approach
  • #18: DR Koka was spending a fair bit of time in his initial consultations with patients describing his background, who he was, where his accent was from etc! Whilst all this was important in building rapport- it was also taking up valuable diagnosis and treatment discussion time. The YouTube video is a pre-consultation information piece.
  • #19: Theme/subject related examples
  • #24: 5500 Facebook shares428 Re- Tweets528 comments on the blog site
  • #25: Anti smoking website and campaign for young Indigenous people using animation, games and video plus a social media presence on Twitter facebook You Tube
  • #30: Using it for professional development
