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.

SXSW Health Track: One Day to Submit Your Panel

I’m honored to have been asked to serve on the Advisory Board for the 2011 SXSW Interactive Festival’s one-day health track.

From everything I’ve heard, the social health unconference in March was fantastic, which is what led Hugh and the SXSW gang to go for the full-day health track.

My problem with SXSW is the timing; it’s always around the first week of Minnesota’s high school basketball tournament, and I have a son who will be lacing ’em up for the Austin Packers for the next three years. Depending on the date for the health track, I may be able to attend, but it’s questionable.

Which makes me, I guess, a good Advisory Board member, since people serving in that role can’t be speakers or panelists.

So…I look forward to seeing lots of good panel proposals, and helping in some way to shape the event. And even if I can’t attend, I’ll definitely be following the Twitter conversation.

I’m keeping this post brief because I want to get it out as quickly as I can: the submission process for panels ends tomorrow, July 9.

Go to the SXSW Panel Picker to submit your panel today.

And I DO mean TODAY!

Or tomorrow.

No later.

Thanks to Reed Smith and Tom Stitt, co-chairs for the health track, for nominating me to the Advisory Board.

Meet me in Paris?

This would ordinarily be the place where I would insert a punch line like, “Yes, I’m speaking in Paris, Texas” or one of the other 22 cities in the U.S. named “Paris.”

Or maybe I’d be referring to a convention at the casino in Las Vegas with a miniature (though still very large) version of this:

But this time it’s no joke: two weeks from today I will be in the original Paris for a three-day conference called the Health Executive Summit, where I will be on a Thursday panel.

I just found out from the organizers that I can offer guest passes to up to five of my contacts to also attend for free.

So…

If you can get to Paris, FRANCE in a couple of weeks and would like to attend the Health Executive Summit, send me a tweet (@LeeAase) or send me a note via email via my contact form. I will send you the discount code to use in registration.

Given that we have a few SMUGgles on the Continent, maybe we’ll be able to use those passes. If you know someone who might be interested, please send them my way.

A Philosophy for Starting with Social Media

I was in Boston a couple of weeks ago for a presentation to the Massachusetts Hospital Association, and afterward had a chance to talk with Dan Carter (@DanRPG) about social media in healthcare. Dan posted the edited video yesterday on his Health Care 3.0 Ning site:
