OVERVIEW

As health care joins the ranks of other businesses looking at the social Web, hospital leadership teams need a solid understanding of the new “conversational media” and how to leverage it strategically as a complement to traditional marketing initiatives. In this session, originally recorded on April 1, 2010, hospital administration and communications teams hear examples of how the social Web is being used by hospital stakeholders (employees, patients and health care professionals) and competitors around the public conversations in which senior hospital management must effectively participate. Emphasis is on health care-specific legal, compliance and operational risks; how to measure ROI of new media programs and best practices for hospital senior management developing social media strategy and policy.

Through this Webinar, hospital communicators and administration will learn how other leading hospitals are using social media to:

  • Enhance the patient experience;
  • Improve hospital operations and human resource performance and costs;
  • Amplify hospital marketing at lower cost; and
  • Improve hospital public relations, communications and community engagement.
