Subtext• This is how people communicate
• All of your employees are already involved in social media-and your blocking won’t work
• All of our patients are involved in social media
• Use of your human bandwidth can either be an asset or a liability-the line crossed is defined by orientation and training

What is professionalism?
![Page 5: EPL 101: Health Care Social Media and Professionalism](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060109/55577995d8b42ad4278b464b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Heart and Soul of Medical Care• Professionalism means safe care
• Health care is delivered by teams who need to communicate well, honestly, respectfully, confidentiality and responsibly
• That team includes all of us in health care-including patients and their families
![Page 6: EPL 101: Health Care Social Media and Professionalism](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060109/55577995d8b42ad4278b464b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How is being online part of professionalism?• Unique moment in history-two overlapping trends
• Information overload at the same time as evolving information transparency
• Less daily time for direct patient care at the same time as more time spent online
![Page 7: EPL 101: Health Care Social Media and Professionalism](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060109/55577995d8b42ad4278b464b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Information Overload• PubMed-22 million citations, one new/min
• Over 200 Cardiology journals
• 486 cardiology guidelines
• More and more knowledge is being made available online and in a transparent fashion
![Page 8: EPL 101: Health Care Social Media and Professionalism](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060109/55577995d8b42ad4278b464b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Who is the lived expert?

Where did our time go?
![Page 10: EPL 101: Health Care Social Media and Professionalism](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060109/55577995d8b42ad4278b464b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Time, the most precious commodity…

![Page 11: EPL 101: Health Care Social Media and Professionalism](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060109/55577995d8b42ad4278b464b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Where are our patients…Online• Time online in social networking represents 110
billion minutes worldwide
• One in four minutes spent online is spent in social platforms
• The three most common online activities are e-mail, Internet search and health care information
![Page 12: EPL 101: Health Care Social Media and Professionalism](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060109/55577995d8b42ad4278b464b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Why we need to be online• Is it any wonder that the majority of us have sought
knowledge and support online?
• The value of that conversation is purely dependent on two factors: access to the conversation and the quality of the knowledge shared
![Page 13: EPL 101: Health Care Social Media and Professionalism](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060109/55577995d8b42ad4278b464b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Why we need to be online• Yet, all too often, we in health care are absent from
that conversation• “Don’t want to be sued!”• “Who will pay for my time online?”• “What about HIPAA?”
![Page 14: EPL 101: Health Care Social Media and Professionalism](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060109/55577995d8b42ad4278b464b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
![Page 15: EPL 101: Health Care Social Media and Professionalism](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060109/55577995d8b42ad4278b464b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Impact of Silence:Vaccine Hesitancy
• Efficiency• Each discussion averages 5-10 mins• By 24 months, 14 vaccines over 8 visits• 80% of primary care providers report 1 vaccine
refusal/month; 8% of providers report 1 in 10 parents refused vaccine
• Liability• Several law suits brought by parents whose
children suffered from vaccine refusal
![Page 16: EPL 101: Health Care Social Media and Professionalism](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060109/55577995d8b42ad4278b464b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Vaccine Hesitancy• Health Care
•14 years since Wakefield, dramatic drop in MMR in EU with a marked increase in measles and mumps
•EU-2011-major measles outbreak in 33 countries, to include 10,000 in France alone
![Page 17: EPL 101: Health Care Social Media and Professionalism](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060109/55577995d8b42ad4278b464b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Is part of being professional being online?• We must partner with patients in content creation,
curation and decision making
• Leverage the content, leverage the conversation, leverage the good
![Page 18: EPL 101: Health Care Social Media and Professionalism](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060109/55577995d8b42ad4278b464b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
![Page 19: EPL 101: Health Care Social Media and Professionalism](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060109/55577995d8b42ad4278b464b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
National Survey of State Medical Boards
• 71% of boards responded
• 92% of boards reported at least 1 online violation
• Most common: inappropriate patient communication online, Internet prescribing without an established clinical relationship and misrepresenting credentials online
• In total, these transgressions represented a relatively small percentage of the total board actions in the FSMB database
![Page 20: EPL 101: Health Care Social Media and Professionalism](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060109/55577995d8b42ad4278b464b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Professionalism and Social Media
• Social Media Tools do not cause professionalism violations
• They leverage behavior and errors to a larger audience
• By doing so, they “educate” a larger audience of transgressions
![Page 21: EPL 101: Health Care Social Media and Professionalism](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060109/55577995d8b42ad4278b464b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Professionalism and Social Media

General Concepts

• Separate your circle of friends from patients you mend
• Corporate logo in your username is a no-go
• Adding a disclaimer is probably saner
• Don’t practice on the Internet, regardless of your good intent
