Comment on Drive New Patients to Your Hospital with Social Media by Erick Kinuthia

Cool post. Any hospital that is not engaging in social media is missing a lot of information that is posted about them online. Some could be negative and if they aren’t there to change the way people view them, they will loose even more patients to the online community.

Comment on Drive New Patients to Your Hospital with Social Media by Jason Boies

Good points, Jeannie.

Hospitals can drive awareness of their facilities and specialties by listening for social media conversations surrounding not just their brand name but more importantly around healthcare in general.

Even using keywords or key phrases (e.g. “Need a paediatrician in the Bay area..” or something along those same lines) can help let you join in on relevant conversations.

A social media presence is a pretty much a must for any business at this point.

Cheers

Comment on Overtime and hospital staff burnout by Lise Raev

That is, I think, a really valid concern. It's important to keep nurses and those with physical therapist jobs from burning out. Because they're all such compassionate, hard-working people, it comes too naturally to them to overwork themselves.
