"Tweeting Etiquette At Conferences"
https://onlineacademic.wordpress.com/2015/02/02/tweeting-etiquette-at-conferences/

I have already blogged about the benefits of social media, so I won't do that here, instead I will show (1) how social media at conferences, using Twitter as an example, can be used effectively.

"What Andrew Sullivan's exit says about the future of blogging"
http://www.vox.com/2015/1/30/7948091/andrew-sullivan-leaving-blogging

If I said something dumb in my Blogspot days — which I did, constantly — it hurt me. If I say something dumb today — which I do, but hopefully less constantly — it hurts my writers, and my editors, and my company. My voice needs editing. The cost of being unedited is too high.

I  that we can, for the most part, be unedited at FAS.  Keeps it real.   

There are advantages to being able to do this    w/o worrying about it too much.

The need to create content that "travels" is at war with the fact that great work often needs to be rooted in a particular place and context — a place and context that the reader and the author already share.

Interesting.

"The Danger of Reading the Comments"
http://tinyurl.com/nfee3wh

The study, called "Reexamining Health Messages in the Digital Age: A Fresh Look at Source Credibility Effects," is much more interesting than its title might suggest. Authors Ioannis Kareklas, Darrel Muehling, and T.J. Weber looked at how online commenters influenced people's responses to vaccination PSAs. Their conclusion? Commenters perceived as credible "are instrumental in influencing consumers' responses."

"The Unbearable Lightness of Tweeting"
http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/02/the-unbearable-lightness-of-tweeting/385484/

Is the social web just a matrix of empty shares, of hollow generosity? As Chartbeat CEO Tony Haile once said (on Twitter), there is "effectively no correlation between social shares and people actually reading." People read without sharing, but just as often, perhaps, they share without reading.

Hank, along with YouTube creators Bethany Mota and Glozell Green, interviewed the president

These questions were unflinching, unapologetic, and discussed without the manufactured "both sides" baloney so common in mainstream media.

The reaction to this by some of that same media was as predictable as it was maddening: disbelief and derision.

Patient bloggers at health conferences: 'real' journalists?
http://myheartsisters.org/2015/03/01/patient-bloggers-at-health-conferences/

Right now there are real journalists reading this who are choking on their coffee at the use of the words "journalist" and "blogger" in such close proximity within the same paragraph.

We treat bloggers exactly as journalists and ensure that they too meet our guidelines but, since they are a different type of media, we look at them through a different lens and research each blogger who applies to ensure they qualify.

http://journals.lww.com/greenjournal/Fulltext/2015/02000/Committee_Opinion_No__622___Professional_Use_of.47.aspx

Some physicians are reluctant to engage in online communication with their patients or their communities because of concerns about liability and privacy laws.

the question of how physicians and the health care system should interact with patients' personal digital and social profiles remains unsettled. Some professionals advocate for surveillance as a form of prophylaxis against catastrophic events, such as suicide, while others prefer to exercise their own discretion in interacting with patients in social environments, including online settings

Dr Kate Granger, a 31-year-old hospital consultant, started the "Hello my name is..." campaign while she was being treated for cancer.

The doctor who informed her that her cancer had spread did not introduce himself to her and did not look her in the eye.

With a Few Bits of Data, Researchers Identify 'Anonymous' People
http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/01/29/with-a-few-bits-of-data-researchers-identify-anonymous-people/?_r=0

But the study calls into question the standard methods many companies, hospitals and government agencies currently use to anonymize their records. It may also give ammunition to some technologists and privacy advocates who have challenged the consumer-tracking processes used by advertising software and analytics companies to tailor ads to so-called anonymous users online.

If the person chooses to share your words, you are (for all intents and purposes) writing to whoever they show your words to. Thus, you are (potentially) writing to the whole world. Consequently, you have to carefully think about what you say when you post something online.

I am posting this because I want people to know that there is a real person sitting on the other side of the screen.

"Sounding Off on Social Media: The Ethics of Patient Storytelling in the Modern Era."
http://tinyurl.com/ogw4t94

revealing information related to patient care on social media in a manner that is technically HIPAA compliant, yet is ethically questionable

Although the student's description of events preserves the patient's anonymity, there is a conspicuously judgmental and disdainful tone to the posting that could influence public perception of the medical profession and medical education.

Even without the threat of identifying the patient, the reproduction of intimate aspects of a patient's life—shared in confidence—on a student's personal Facebook account is a practice that can undermine patients' and family members' expectations of privacy.

"When Doctors Write About Patients"
http://33charts.com/2015/02/doctors-write-about-patients.html

potential issues as doctors learn to manage the boundaries of public dialog

Unless it's a patient's wish to have his story disclosed, the reality is that many of our most powerful experiences will remain nothing more than our own.

------------------------------------------



"Should Doctors Write About Patients?"
http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/02/should-doctors-write-about-their-patients/385296/

Patients rightly assume that their conversations with healthcare providers are confidential, and while there's an implied consent that relevant information may be noted in the medical record, no one expects a rendition of a seemingly privileged conversation to appear in a magazine or newspaper article.

there remains a niggling sense that maybe I shouldn't be exposing the inner lives of my patients, that even with a patient's okay, even after a careful resection of sensitive elements, I may have taken advantage of a confidence

There's value in real stories, and if doctors are careful and respectful, there are ways to write essays about patients. But sometimes, the truth can emerge more clearly—and more kindly—through the prism of fiction.

Emoji lend emotional context to otherwise expressionless texts, but they also require context in order to be read.

I also began to marvel at the disconnect between the severity of the crime and the gleeful savagery of the punishment.

The people I met were mostly unemployed, fired for their transgressions, and they seemed broken somehow — deeply confused and traumatized.

Ignominy is universally acknowledged to be a worse punishment than death

Social media is so perfectly designed to manipulate our desire for approval

"The Cobweb"
http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/01/26/cobweb

Twitter is a rare case: it has arranged to archive all of its tweets at the Library of Congress.

For the law and for the courts, link rot and content drift, which are collectively known as "reference rot," have been disastrous.

The Library of Congress has something like an opt-in policy; the Internet Archive has an opt-out policy. The Wayback Machine collects every Web page it can find, unless that page is blocked

Having had the disease for many years, I was able to offer her the insight and support that her doctors and other healthcare professionals simply could not.

As patients, we realise that many health professionals have yet to embrace the powerful tools that Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and other social media platforms have created. Most doctor's offices are busy, understaffed, and view social media as a distraction.
