Define professional Social media as challenge â risks and benefits Guidelines
-- Social media challenges our approach to interactions in healthcare -- Partly because we do not always provide information that patients are looking for, theyâre going online to find it -- As professionals, not easy to just jump in when weâre obligated to âfirst, do no harmâ
Developed in 2008 at U Washington â fun-for-purpose video game in which gamersâŚcompete to unfold chains of amino acidsâ
- Half of 50-64 year olds, Âź of 65+ ysing social networking sites - 58% of all adults have looked for health information online
To know how to improve in the social media era, we have to look at where weâve been
-- We are healers, not scientists - Our value is in what we do for our patients, not what we can do to them - To learn how to use these tools well, we need to start using them
- Not the first time medicine has faced challenges - Similar period of rapid change occurred about 150 years ago -- Medical advances during Industrial Revolution and social change -- Flexner Report culminated in defining basis for how we define medical professionalism â MD as scientist -- Focus on what we know and can do, not how much we care -- More objective, less willing to engage
