Healthcare and Social Media - Connubial Bliss or Collision Course?

This location is shown only to members

Well, you asked for it, the Social Media in Healthcare Panel Discussion is here!

We have assembled an all star group of presenters for the first Meetup / Tweetup dedicated to social media in Healthcare. The goal of the meetup is to look at the current state of healthcare social media utilization and explore the possible future changes that could or should become reality.

Our Panelists include two successful HCSM-using Twitter-Docs, two CEOs of Healthcare Social Media enterprises, a HCSM researcher, one HCSM Writer, and THE Esther Dyson. We are still trying to get a hospital SM Panelist but apparently they are in short supply.

Thank you for your suggestions and support - especially Lynn Nezin, Micheal Monson, Laurie Wheeler, Katerina Jackson, and Mark Amares.

Agenda for July Meetup:
6:30 - 7:00 PM - Meet, Greet, & Tweet (w/some healthy snacks and drinks)
7:00 - 7:30 PM - Presentation by Amir Kishon, Ph.D., CEO, Wellness Layers
7:30 - 8:30 PM - Healthcare and Social Media Discussion Panel

Panelists
HCSM Physician - Jen Dyer, MD, MPH aka @EndoGoddess
HCSM Physician - Arthur Lubitz, MD, aka @NYCAllergyDr
HCSM Consultant and CEO – Dr Amir Kishon, Ph.D., CEO, Wellness Layers
HCSM Media Professional – Jessica Levco, Ragan
HCSM Researcher, CEO, & Investor - Aafia Chaudhry MD, Founder & CEO JuvoLab
HCSM Patient Advocate Leader: Jack Barrette, Founder & CEO WEGO Health
HCSM Hospital Leader: Pending acceptance - NY area large hospital VP
HCSM Thought Leader: Esther Dyson, named by Forbes magazine as one of the most powerful women in American business, is widely regarded as one of the most influential voices in technology—but she's not a programmer or high-tech executive, and doesn't even have a phone at home. She started out as a magazine fact checker, but ended up managing her own venture capital fund. She has rarely, if ever, voted, but she's an active technology policymaker in Washington. Read more of her bio at Forbes.com.

We also are happy to introduce our Moderator:
Matt Browning, RN, MS, CEO, Your Nurse Is On
Anne Zeiger, President, NextHealth.

Questions will be taken from the audience but also please submit questions for our esteemed guests to discuss.

Please feel welcome to answer these questions yourself on the discussion board as well.

Here is a preliminary list:

1. How does Social Media change the provider or medical center / patient relationship? Give one positive and one negative example.
2. Providers: Why do you practice #HCSM? What aspects do you avoid?
3. Providers: How do you handle the increased access your patients may have to you?
4. Social Media breaks down the privacy barriers for both patients and Providers. Where are the possible areas to utilize #HCSM without increasing exposure for patients and providers? What would you change if you could?
5. Has the increased access and communication #HCSM bring improved the health of your patients or clients while reducing office visits?
6. What should be our goals for #HCSM for the next six months?
7. Who is doing #HCSM right and why.

We hope all can make it but the room can only hold about 100 (updated from 60) so RSVP early and make sure you give up your spot if there is a change in plans.

We hope you are having a great summer so far and we look forward to seeing everyone!

    The legal ramifications of this topic are profound. What risks do professionals run when they friend a patient? When does a tweet belong in a medical record? Under what circumstances is a professional required to respond? What are the ramifications of the wrong response...or no response?

    Robert, you raised some really interesting questions. In addition, what are doctors' duties if they come across information that was not disclosed to them by the patient, barely 15 years old is HIPAA antiquated already, what are the effects of crowd sourcing medical diagnosis?

    In our rush to embrace technology, are physicians in training at risk for deficits in developing the interpersonal skills that are critical to clinical relationships?

    I organized it so take this with a grain of salt. There were more doctors and CEOs in the audience than ever. Very good to have patient bloggers, MDs, Patient advocates, Startup folks like me, and so many others. Thanks for coming and enjoying the event!

    Been coming for a year and this was one of the best sessions ever. Great presenters/panelists and more industry profs in the audience. Nice job!
  • Paul Garcia
    The presentation and panel discussion were excellent. I learned a lot from clinician and tech/media company points of view. Also enjoyed networking with industry experts and entrepreneurs.
  • Mark Tanen
    Well put together, engaging panelists and audience
  • Celia Vimont
    Great speakers/panel! Covered a lot of ground, moderator kept things moving - overall a really worthwhile evening.
  • Bernie Kahn
    Wonderful job by the organizer(s). Exceptionally large turnout. Incredibly talented and diverse panel. Moderator for the panel discussion was excellent, and knowledgeable in his own right. Perhaps might be a speaker for a future meeting? Wished there was more time for the panel discussion, with more opportunity for audicne interaction, and that the first speaker scheduled for a separate meeting.
  • Steven Davidson
    Good program; good crowd
  • Lucy Reynales
    Great presentation, panel, and participation. This is a hot topic that I'd like to see at future meet-ups. Thanks to all who made it possible!
  • Matthew Browning
    Very well done Alex!
  • Edward Toumekian
    Great job by Alex organizing the event. Opening presentation, moderator/panelists feedback and questions by audience made for very infromative discussion. Networking session was challenging once room filled up due to space constraints.
  • mary helen mcsweeney-feld
    1. you need to start meetings on time, not with a 1/2 hour delay in the advertised start time, especially for healthcare professionals who start their workday very early in the morning. i also suggest that you end these sessions at 8:30pm vs. 9:30pm - there were many people who had to walk out of this session early. 2. the session could have covered the issue of how healthcare providers get paid for SM activities. this is a big issue among healthcare providers: many will not use email, telephone or SM because they do not feel that they get paid for their time. 3. more information needs to be collected on positive outcomes from SM used in the healthcare field. there were some great findings shared last night, i would like to see that information share continue.
