Illustrating the Health Care Social Media Revolution

The Association of Medical Illustrators is holding its annual conference in Rochester, Minnesota this week, and my colleagues in Mayo Clinic Creative Media asked me to be part of the program, discussing our growth and application of social media at Mayo Clinic. Here are the slides I’m using:

I had stopped by the conference briefly yesterday and was impressed by the energy and enthusiasm in the room. It will be a quick ride; my presentation time is 20 minutes…so I want to have the slides here for review. I look forward to the discussion!

The Social Networking Imperative

At the Association of Organ Procurement Organizations (AOPO) meeting in Baltimore this morning I will be presenting on innovative uses of social media. The theme of the meeting is Embracing Change: Transforming OPOs for Future Success.

I hope I can help. Here are the slides from my presentation:

Weathering the Georgia Healthcare Landscape

The theme for this year’s Georgia Hospital Association is “Weathering the New Healthcare Landscape,” and I’m glad to be here in Greensboro at the Ritz-Carlton Lodge at Reynolds Plantation to talk about how the impact of social media in this new environment.

Just before my presentation, we’ll be hearing from Meg Fischer, who is the Director of Public Policy for GHA. The title of her talk is “The Affordable Care Act: The Seismic Shift in Healthcare and Its Aftershocks.” It will be interesting to hear her perspective, and I’ll be tweeting from the front lines.

Here are the slides from my presentation:

Here’s more information about the Mayo Clinic Center for Social Media and Social Media Health Network.

I’m looking forward to a good discussion.

The Link between Social Media and Digestive Diseases

While the behavior of some people online can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea in others, this post is not about Twitter-induced dyspepsia. I’m in Chicago today speaking as part of a panel on “21st Century Patient Provider Communication” during Digestive Disease Week.

Here are my slides:

I’m looking forward to the discussion. You can follow it at #DDW14 on Twitter.

Presenting in Columbus to Cancer Communicators

I’m pleased to be in Columbus, OH this morning to present to the NACCDO/PAN meeting. These folks work for NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers. As you will see in the slides, this is my second time presenting to this group, and the first time was a quite memorable day for me.

We had lots of good questions and discussion, and Debra Loggia had some great insights. Check out the Twitter stream of the discussion. And if you have comments or questions, I’m glad to interact.
