This document summarizes Lee Aase's views on using social media in healthcare. Some key points are: 1) Social media are powerful communication tools that can facilitate sharing information; 2) While there are risks, the benefits of social media outweigh the risks if used properly; 3) Mayo Clinic has successfully used social media like YouTube and Facebook to share stories that reached millions of viewers at very low cost.

34. #2: Electronic tools merely
facilitate broader, more
efficient transmission by
overcoming inertia and
friction
35.
36. #4: Social media are the
third millennium’s defining
communications trend
50. Basic Social Media Guidelines
for Health Care Professionals
• If you don’t have a pre-existing, real-life
friendship with patients, don’t create
one on Facebook
• If you do create Facebook friendship
with patients, do it with a purpose
• Apply the “Front Page” test to your
online postings
51. #9: Mass media will remain
powerful levers that move --
and are moved by -- social
media buzz

71. #17: Social media are free in
any ordinary sense of the
word (or at least ridiculously
inexpensive)

106. Less than 24 hours after my initial appointment, I not
only had a new diagnosis - a UT split tear - but had
surgery to correct the problem. As I write this, my
right arm is in a festive green, but otherwise
annoying cast. The short-term hassle, however,
should be more than worth the long-term gain - the
potential for a future without chronic wrist pain. A
future, that without Twitter and those in the medical
community willing to experiment with new
communications tools, might not exist for me.
