Leveraging Hashtags in Academic Surgery
Are you an academic surgeon on Twitter? Are you leveraging hashtags effectively? Few people gave much thought to the hashtag or pound sign (#) until the advent of Twitter. If you are not comfortable utilizing hashtags that are popular in your specialty, you aren ’t using Twitter to your full professional advantage. A Twitter hashtag is created by adding “#” in front of any word or string of words. Twitter hyperlinks all hashtags, so clicking on a hashtag allows quick access…Continued (Source: Connecting the dots in healthcare social media – Symplur)

Who should be included in health care conferences?
Patients, when represented as event stakeholders, generate richer conversation and wider dissemination of information on the social web, a new Medicine X study shows. It was June 2016, and Audun Utengen and Larry Chu were in Washington where Medicine X was co-hosting a workshop as part of President Obama ’s Precision Medicine Initiative. The focus was on patient-centered research, and the two kept hearing the same frustration aired by participants: Why are health care conferences generally accessible only to stakeholders from…Continued (Source: Connecting the dots in healthcare social media – Symplur)

Pharma Engagements with Patients and Doctors at ASCO
The stakeholder group in healthcare that has been the most reluctant to adopt and to engage on social media is arguably pharma. Cultural and regulatory concerns have long delayed their entry. Today, much has changed and each year we’re seeing more and smarter behavior by pharma on social media. Their presence is welcome, patients have long asked for pharma to become part of the conversations and listen to what they have to share. But this is a learning process for…Continued (Source: Connecting the dots in healthcare social media – Symplur)

Urology Tag Ontology – 2017 Update
The social media platform Twitter has had an invigorating impact on communication between urological healthcare professionals by enabling rapid and global information exchange.1, 2 Prime examples of Twitter use in Urology are online discussions at global conferences with more than 15,000 tweets at the #EAU16 and #AUA16 annual meetings.

Submit a proposal for the 2017 Stanford Medicine X | Symplur Everyone Included ™ Research Challenge
Symplur and  Stanford Medicine X are welcoming proposals for our third annual research challenge until March 1 at 5 p.m.   Can a virtual hashtag create a real community? Damian Roland, MD, wasn ’t certain. He’d been tracking #FOAMed—short for Free Open Access Medical Education—since it debuted on Twitter in 2012. Through it, he read other health care providers’ posts on everything from specialized procedures to rare causes of patient deaths. But he didn’t have a way to measure how broad its impact…Continued (Source: Connecting the dots in healthcare social media – Symplur)

Medicine X | Symplur research winner shows value medical journal received when patients are engaged
The internet has revolutionized every corner of the publishing world. Every corner, that is, except for medical journals, says Dr. Ruth Carlos, deputy editor of the Journal of the American College of Radiology. Journals like hers are full of cutting edge information, Dr. Carlos says, but are often inaccessible to the patients who could benefit most from them.

Tweeting the Meeting: Twitter Use at The American Society of Breast Surgeons Annual Meeting 2013-2016
There is a growing interest in documenting the use of Twitter at medical meetings. “Tweeting the meeting” has many benefits, including enhancing the educational experience of meeting attendees, disseminating content to those not in attendance (physicians, patients, general public and the media), and increasing the visibility of the medical organization. While still seen by man y as frivolous, an increasing number of physicians and organizations understand the real value that comes from an active social media presence during conferences.
