@sharhs01 Social media allows patients to share information with each other, which can be helpful to some people as some are skeptical about the healthcare industry and HCPs. https://t.co/0QIfM1wsVm

@AllisonCarterNP @kmciltr1 @muddpit5 Me too! I tend to stray away from social media. But I feel we're at the time where social media plays such as huge role in both our personal and professional life that we can't really cut away from it. #OrgLead18 #JHSON

[Mixue Xie @MixueX]

@amshafton @kmciltr1 @muddpit5 I agree. It also allows us to share important information with each other, such as research articles, newsletter, etc. Social medial also provides a platform for people to share their knowledge and experience. #OrgLead18 #JHSON

@kmciltr1 @muddpit5 A6: Social media affect our professional lives & connect us with patients, communities, & colleagues. Patients use social media for medical info, so it’s important to update frequently to provide the most accurate information. #OrgLead18

@LeighMcGrathNP Many of our patients read about their surgery and other people's experience from forum, which can be helpful sometimes. On the other hand, it can also make them anxious and worried when they read about bad experiences. #OrgLead18

@Live_HappiLeigh That is true. Many people don't double check what is said. So it is important to educate people about that.

@amshafton @kmciltr1 @muddpit5 It's interesting how people learn about what's going around the world through social media, like from FB feeds. I recently received an email saying that due to Taylor Swift's posted on instagram linked to https://t.co/0ogMkYx4bY, 364,000 new voters registered! Very powerful!

@kmciltr1 @muddpit5 A5: Social media is used in positive ways, such as professional networking, education, health promotion, patient care & education. Some negative effects are poor quality information, professional image damage & patient privacy breach. #OrgLead18 #JHSON https://t.co/HZdwmHm1Le

@evipnp @kmciltr1 @muddpit5 I agree! Educating patients about reputable sites and giving them examples are important because not all patients know what source to trust. There are many information on social media that can be misleading.

[Mixue Xie @MixueX]

@elizabeth_mole @kmciltr1 @muddpit5 Good point! I think some times we get used to doing things like assessment that we forget to ask for basic consent from the patient, such as can I take a listen to your lungs, etc. Or that we assume consent because they're in the hospital, and we're caring for them.

@kmciltr1 @muddpit5 A4: Provide credentials/ professional info, create website ending in .gov, .org, .edu, or medical centers ending in .com, and educate patients about reliable resources. Gov/ national org websites provide the highest level of accuracy. #OrgLead18 #JHSON https://t.co/x5jPDGI3R2

@LisaSantoDomin1 @kmciltr1 It's a delicate balance about how much you can share on social media when it comes to healthcare. I would always look for guidelines provided by your organizations if available. I know JHU offers guideline for it online. https://t.co/WJMCrnJOgf

[Mixue Xie @MixueX]

@Sharon_ParkNP @AprilCamiling @kmciltr1 Many orgs use social media for direct patient care. JHH uses a platform called MyChart that allows patients to message their doctors with questions or to request prescription refills. I use it myself and find it very helpful! #OrgLead18 #JHSON https://t.co/0qUpG8B4c1

[Mixue Xie @MixueX]

@Sharon_ParkNP @NPAshleyFenton @kmciltr1 That's great! My unit has made our own facebook group, too. But It's not very active. It's mainly used for retention and communicating information.

[Mixue Xie @MixueX]

@meblopez @kmciltr1 @theIRC Thanks for sharing. JHH also uses a variety of social media, like blogs, twitter & FB to communicate. There's subgroups, such as diabetes & research. JHH also provides guidelines to maintain professional courtesy within social media. #OrgLead18 #JHSON https://t.co/oNV9ujA0VG

@AshlyJames18 @kmciltr1 It's important to be a lifelong learner as medicine is always changing, and we need to be able to adjust as new EBP emerge from research.

[Mixue Xie @MixueX]

@NPAshleyFenton I agree that nurses and NPs are part of a team, and are constantly working with other disciplines. Medicine and healthcare require a team to provide patient-centered care.

[Mixue Xie @MixueX]

@kmciltr1 A1: Nurses play many different roles. A nurse is a leader, a team player, an educator, an advocate; someone who cares for patients during their most vulnerable time. #OrgLead18 #JHSON #NurseLife https://t.co/HJA8hq3m2Z
