A strong social media presence is a great way for many hospitals and healthcare systems to connect with those they serve, and keep them up to date on the issues and services happening in and around their treatment facilities. Through Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms, hospitals can easily inform people in their respective communities when new doctors join the staff, when new medical services or technologies are being implemented, and other vital information for the health of the community.
Social media can be used to keep people informed by sharing new discoveries in the healthcare industry by linking to relevant articles and discussions. Also, many hospitals encourage the public to ask general questions via social media which allows the community to connect with communications directors or other hospital representatives in a simple and efficient manner.
However, a strong social media presence represents much more than just communication. It’s also about building credibility and trust within a community. When a hospital is quick to answer a question on its Facebook page, posts a link to an article on a new medical technology, or makes an announcement about a CPR class it is offering to the public, it is seen by those in the community as being a hospital that truly cares about those it serves.
A hospital builds its reputation one person at a time. And when community members see a hospital actively engaging those it serves, people are comfortable believing: “that’s the hospital for me and my family if we ever need medical care.” A strong social media presence is now a critical component of any hospital’s operating strategy, and as each year passes, more hospitals are using social media to become an even more integrated part of their communities.
