| Social media,
through a range of venues including Twitter, Facebook and YouTube
continue to gain importance as critical components for health care
organizations to engage with their consumer populations. As health care
social media is still relatively young and still evolving, a significant
gap remains for health care stakeholders regarding strategic research,
benchmark data, and actionable insights and information in this arena. Social media is changing the nature of healthcare interaction, and health organizations that don't pursue this virtual environment are likely missing opportunities to engage consumers. The power of social media for health organizations is in listening and engaging with consumers on their terms. Healthcare Social media is another source of business intelligence that provides information at the aggregate level, not only about what consumers ‘like,’ but what they need, how they behave and when their experiences demand an immediate response. Health organizations can engage IT to integrate social data intelligence with existing systems and processes, yet most are still struggling with how to manage the data from their own clinical systems. MCOL and PricewaterhouseCoopers are presenting key research findings from their respective studies regarding healthcare social media activity for 2012 in this sixty minute HealthcareWebSummit event at 1PM Eastern on Thursday, August 16th, 2012. Please join us for this national webinar providing presentations on both reports, and receive a full copy of MCOL's white paper presenting their benchmarking findings for 2012, with comparisons to their 2011 study results. MCOL is compiling an important white paper in this regard: "Measuring Health Care Business Social Media Activity - 2012" which will be unveiled in this HealthcareWebSummit event and delivered to all attendees and discussed at length during the live webinar. MCOL research involves compilation of a number of recent key research findings from leading organizations, plus original research of social media activity for over 50 major national and regional health care organizations including health plans, health systems, hospitals, pharmaceutical organizations, other providers and government health care agencies. The MCOL original research data, broken out by organizations, with applicable selected benchmark ratios created for health care social media analysis are provided. For example: Twitter data by organization includes: user engagements; total brand tweets; engagement ratio; contact number; engagement rate; multiplier; engagements per 1,000 contacts; and tweets per month. The benchmarks provided will include comparisons to applicable 2011 data from MCOL's 2011 study. The webinar also includes a detailed discussion of PwC's Health Research Institute report "Social media likes healthcare: From marketing to social business." Topics will include new relationships between consumers and the biggest health companies that serve them, how individuals use the social channel, and strategies for companies to incorporate social media into their business operations. PwC’s report (available at www.pwc.com/us/healthsocialmedia) includes findings from a recent HRI social media survey of more than 1,000 U.S. consumers and 124 members of the eHealth Initiative (eHI), a national association of industry organizations focusing on health information and technology. HRI also interviewed more than 30 industry executives and tracked the social media activity of a number of hospitals, insurers, drug manufacturers, and online patient communities to create a week-in-the-life of social health snapshot. We look forward to seeing you Thursday, August 16th! |
