@kmciltr1 Q7: Social media is an effective way to disseminate information to broad, population groups. While relatively easy to use, it is a quick exchange between people. One must be responsive to be effective. #orglead17
@kmciltr1 Q6: We had a safety related issue at our hospital and it was all over the news (bad enough) but also on social media news sites. Social media is prolific beyond the written news. Once it is out, it can be viral. It is difficult to turn it around. #orglead17
@kmciltr1 Q5: FB support groups for specific patient populations have been helpful. If they are moderated by the organization then they can help facilitate positive interactions and advise or links to the advise. #orglead17
@MarianneS_RN@kmciltr1 A1: No, not directly but I did have a Facebook page for a simulation patient. Margaret Jones. The FB page tracked as she did in the simulation. The students interacted and posted to Margaret. #orglead17
@kmciltr1 A3: The negative side of social media for patients is that any negative issue at the hospital quickly gets posted on social media. There isn't a filter for patient-facing information, which is great for them but can be bad for a hospital. #orglead17
@kmciltr1 A3: We promote achievements and activities to attract students. For patients, accolades of the hospital, educational events, research. #orglead17
@kmciltr1 Q2: I have used it to promote and "advertise" my program. We post pictures of simulation and students having fun with learning in the simulation suite to increase student engagement. #orglead17
