Bringing the Revolution to Jersey

This morning I’m presenting to the Healthcare Planning and Marketing Society of New Jersey, as part of a program they are calling “Employing Social Media to Build Customer Satisfaction and Community Outreach.” I’m also moderating a panel that includes:

  • Margaret Fontana, Director of Social Media, Meridian Health Care and winner of the 2010 PeRCy Award for Best Use of Social Media
  • Chrisie Scott,Vice President, Marketing and Corporate Communications at Meridian Health
  • Loren Fisher, Web and Social Media Specialist, Somerset Medical Center
  • Victoria Allen, Vice President, Marketing and Public Relations, Somerset Medical Center

Here are my slides. It might be a new record for total slides in a single presentation.

Overcoming Barriers with the Spartans

Today I’m in East Lansing, Michigan at Michigan State University for #SM4Execs, a conference for executives (thus the hashtag) interested in learning more about applying social media in business.

The venue is pretty neat: it’s at the Spartan Club, on the fourth floor of Spartan Stadium. I was greeted by an imposing figure (click any of the images to enlarge):

Once I got past him and to the elevators, I got this great view from the room where we’re holding the conference:

(It would be a lot better in about five months, but still an interesting place to be.)

More interesting is the quality of the presentations. Last night Marcia Conner gave the keynote:

You can follow the tweets from the conference at #SM4Execs. And here are my slides, posted for reference for those attending:

The Evolution of the Revolution

I’m in Seattle this morning for #SwedishRagan, and sharing our experience with social media at Mayo Clinic, as well as information about our Center for Social Media and the Social Media Health Network. As is my custom, I will move really quickly through lots of slides in my presentation, so I post them here for reference. This helps participants engage and relax instead of furiously scribbling notes.

It also lets me show and tell instead of just telling. If a picture is worth a thousand words, showing this many slides may be one way I can keep up with @SeattleMamaDoc. 😉

By the way, she’s knocking it out of the park in her presentation this morning.

Here’s what I plan to cover:

Bringing the Revolution to ‘Bama

By that I mean the state and not the president, and with no distinction between fans of the Crimson Tide and the Auburn Tigers.  I’m delighted this morning to be presenting from a distance with the Alabama Healthcare Public Relations and Marketing Society and the Alabama Healthcare Human Resources Society. I’ve embedded my slides below for use during the presentation, and that way it’s also available for participants to review later.

Networking with Nurses

Here are slides from my presentation to the Scripps Oncology Nursing Advanced Practice course in San Diego. One of my points is that the title I was given for the presentation, To Network or Not, is really a false choice.

Given the growth of social media and social networking, it isn’t a question of whether health care providers will participate, but rather how they will, and how soon.
