If you are going to get involved in social media, start with good customer service and remember to listen to your community so that you continue to maintain a happy, mutually beneficial patient/doctor relationship.

Be human.

3. Make improvements to reach goals.

4. Use measuring tools

5. Evaluate the "standards" - Exposure, Engagement, Influence, Results

7. Measuring what matters -- engagement, more than just vanity metrics, influencers, virality, repeat engagement, stories, content distribution, unique relationships

Evaluation Plan & Reporting Schedule

Evaluation Plan and Reporting

1. Develop a timeline for obtaining data

Influence - positive, negative, neutral in sentiment

Results - intrepretation of all previous aspects

Connect Internal Stakeholders

Connect Internal Stakeholders/Users

1. Find the SM users within. Organize. Share. Plan.

2. Get others in organization to create & manage groups/lists (i.e., curate a Twitter list or manage a LinkedIn group)

3. Share SM success stories

Staff & Time Committments

Staff and Time Committments

1. Do you have staff to devote to SM?

3. Are you running a 24/7 SM operation? Be clear in expectations of staff and site visitors.

Define Target Audience

Target Audiences

1. What is your target health care audience? Patients (new, existing, former)? Caregivers? Doctors? Nurses?

2. Find the target audience and encourage them to connect to you

3. But, be familiar with all audiences

Content

Social Media Content

If we ask for user-generated content and listen in on conversations, we will better understand the types of content that matter and evolve alongside our audience.

Can you curate content you can find online in the various social sites, or do you need to create new content?

1. Tell stories

2. Have conversations

3. Provide testimonials

4. Share experiences

5. Provide a Call to Action in posts and content. Ask readers to report back and share their experiences.

Tip: Avoid cross-posting the same message from one social channel to another. It appears "cheap", quick, lazy, and does not indicate you know your audience on each site.

Creation

Content Creation

At some point, your team will need to create new content. Are you prepared?

1. Do you have connections to the organization's employees, users, etc.?

2. Do you capture content knowing that you may or may not use it?

3. Do you personal content by simply adding the initials of the creator?

4. Do you tell compelling stories?

5. Do you actively engage with users? Is the approach reactionary or proactive?

6. Do you know the audience? Does the content match their needs? How do you know?

Tips:

- Video and pictures drive the most amount of social engagement within all social sites.

- Who can tell better than the people themselves who experienced it beforehand.

- Testimonials are really one of the best marketing strategies and social media has more of it to offer.

- Be human.

- Conversations are just as vital in the SM world as new "fancy" content.

Curation

Content Curation

Content curation, in its most simplest terms, is the act of gathering related, targeted pieces of content and sharing it.

When you can't create content, you can generally find it online. Curation is just as important as creation. Take the time to find existing content and organize it for your visitors.

1. Do you have a process for repurposing existing content?

2. Can YOU find your organization's existing content?

3. Do you know what the various curation tools are and how to use them (i.e., Storfiy, Paper.li, Scoop.it, ...)

4. Do you know what the most popular content items in your organization are?

5. Are you monitoring your brand, name, or online image looking for publicly posted items you can "borrow"?

Check the link in this section for related content curation resources and tools.

Social Media Channels

Social Media Channels

There are many social platforms to evaluate for inclusion in your SM plan. No community is so high and mighty that it doesn't need to participate in social media.

7. Be mobile focused

Be Mobile Focused

A recent Pew Internet Health study study determined that 56% of U.S. adults own a smartphone (May 2013 survey). This is the first time their study results broke the 50% mark. Also, half of online health information research is on behalf of someone else. The possiblities of a caregiver using a smart phone in a facility to look up something rise ever year.

6. Work towards developing a "social hub"

Social Hubs (also known as Social Streams)

"A social hub serves as a single destination for curated social content posted by an organization. The hub serves as a landing page for engaging content (stories, videos, anecdotes, etc). Putting all of this information in one place allows an organization to tell an ongoing, cohesive story."

- Colleen Dilenschneider

5. Monitoring Tools

Social Media Monitoring Tools

If you want to know what’s happening in the social web you need social media monitoring tools. These tools can provide basic measurment data. More importantly, they help you manage the flow of information and commmunication in many social channels. Are you monitoring your brand, name, or online image looking for publicly posted items you can "borrow"? Some of the more popular ones include:
