Editor's Notes

• #2: Good morning and thank you for joining me in today’s meeting regarding social media and our hospital. Let me begin by introducing myself, I am Eleanor Jones a P.R. representative for our hospital and this is Israel Ramirez, assistant P.R. representative and has background experience with social media and advertising. Every time I walk into a coffee shop, library, university computer lab, and even riding the subway home, I can’t help but glance at what a person searching or viewing on their laptops or handheld devices. At least one out of every five people I observed in the coffee shop are on YouTube or Facebook. So when our CEO approached and asked me to develop a presentation regarding social media, I couldn’t wait. So let’s begin by stating what is advertising, social networking, and what factors should we consider in the development of our hospitals social media campaign.
• #3: Overall expense of advertising varies depending upon the type of material considered such as: the color of the flyers, how many, and majority of advertising online is FREE! So, do we need advertising YES! Advertising through social marketing/networking provides an opportunity for our hospital to empower ourselves in an organizational movement.
• #4: Measurement Tools assist companies in monitoring social media and content that is posted on the internet and is a free and essential tool. Some of these social media tools are Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. We will further discuss Return of Investment (ROI). Measurement tools should also view ROI’s because it will give us an understanding of how effective a particular marketing campaign is.
• #5: Social networks are online sites that connect people to friends, family, and others with common interest. The rules are different from site to site and allow users to create business specific pages that may be easily followed by the audience. The key to social networking is to assist people in spreading our message and to measure the outcome/s. There are multiple areas within our hospital such as Public Relations, Human Resources, Information Technology, and multiple operations. It is important to develop an understanding of the wants, needs, concerns of potential barriers from each of our departments that will be utilizing our social networking sites. This will only ensure our success of developing a efficient and effective social networking site. In order to encourage and further relationships with our consumers or clientele we must revise our ROI such as: total number of admissions, employee referrals, hours of patient care, total number of individuals enrolled in our health programs, and donations. Our social media campaigning will only enhance enrollment in our facility, health programs, referrals, and total number of admission. Hospitals have taken advantage of social media because the outcome out-ways the input of time and energy. Leadership encouragement is a huge roll because if our employees see that our CEO, Director of Patient Care, or Director of Quality Improvement posting comments on Facebook or writing comments on blogs the employees will begin to develop their own ROI.
• #6: The importance of developing a social media policy is to gain a better understanding of goals and objectives. Our Social Media Policy should be concise and brief in order to be efficient and effective.
• #7: Facebook is the largest social media tool right now. Do we need it YES! YouTube, online videos are the second largest search engine in assisting online potential clientele into engaged viewers. This is a video community and one of the fastest growing websites and ranks second in traffic of Alexa. Dove’s “Evolution” 75 second time lapsed video, features an average women being air brushed and transformed in fashions idea of “beautiful.” In less than a year over 5 million people viewed this video and as of April 22, 2011 there have been 12, 866,389 viewers which have watched this video. The cost for “Evolution”, nothing. Compared to the 30-second ad aired on 2006 Super Bowl ad, two and half million dollars (Groundswell, 2008). The cost is minimal and the only factor is time and establishing leaders to support our social policy goals and objectives.
• #8: According to a study done by PR firm Burson-Marsteller, 100 of the largest companies in the Fortune 500 list, globally 79% of them use Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or blogs to engage and communicate with their audience, stakeholders, and companies employees. Twitter provides companies, such as our hospital the opportunity to engage on a one on one level with current and potential customers, which is a useful evaluation tool that provides feedback on certain products, allows one to write or post comments anonymously, and shows our community that we just want to chat or visit and perhaps help them with any questions or concerns. Blogs are journal entries or posts and pictures of thoughts and links that encourage dialogue. According to Technographics survey one in four online Americans read blogs and is the most popular activity. Blogging may occur in Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. We can start small and begin by reading blogs that discuss our hospital and once we receive an idea of what our audience thinks or feels we may begin commenting on those blogs or videos.
• #9: Audience is the key in developing awareness, forming clientele social networking, and committing them in searching for our company’s products or services. We must listen by monitoring customers conversations with each other by encouraging and participating in social conversations. Energize our potential/current social networking clientele by creating enthusiasm so that they may become energized. Encourage our clientele to show support for others.Embracing by helping others understand, develop ideas, communicate without committing offense.The 5 objectives are audience based ideas which will help improve our products and services.The Social Technolographics Ladder is a great tool to profile verify what are customers/patients are using for social networking. This will help us define what networks we should use.

Operating systems as well; power loss, fire, technical difficulties, etc. Communities and patients can issue crisis’s too.Handling a crisis typically one wants to assemble a team, know everything about the situation, use time and communicate wisely.
