exactly is
“social media”?
(a.k.a why are
we doing this)

9. How I define social media
• Transparency
• Credibility
• Relevancy
• Trust
• “Communities of Interest”
11. Building credibility
• 57 % of people say a social media connection
with a hospital has a strong impact on their
decision to seek treatment
• 81% of consumers believe if a hospital has a
strong social media presence, they are likely to
be more cutting edge, creating a halo effect

Care deeply

coin
or, as I like to call it,
