Outline/format
Presentation and discussion on some key areas and others from participant interest/experience:
About IMIA
Health/care organisations and social media
Some international examples
Codes of practice
Looking forward – what might being 'always on' and 'always online' mean for health, interaction, etc?
My aim is to agitateand disturb people.
I’m not selling bread, I’m selling yeast.
Miguel de Unamuno, writer and philosopher (1864-1936)
IMIA
An 'association of associations'
- a 'bridging organisation' to bring together the members of the global health and biomedical informatics communities (primarily academic, research, scientific)
- almost 60 Member Societies – contacts in over 85 countries
- Academic and Corporate Members
- represents over 50,000 people in health informatics
Nurses have always been well-represented.

IMIA
The basic aims of IMIA:
- to advance international cooperation;

of settings; and
- to further the dissemination and exchange of knowledge,
information and technology.

My interest in nursing/health use of CMC(computer-mediated communications)
MSc research 1993-95 (discourse analysis of NURSENET list; what was said, how, why, by whom)
PhD research 1995-2001 (reflection on practice in informal list discussions)
Evidence of some interactions, discussions around and reflection on practice issues.
Many lurkers/readers, few frequent and consistent active contributors to discussions.
My interest in nursing/health use of social media, Web 2.0
Moved more to use/development of online communities of practice and virtual interaction around conferences (eg via blogs)
What more/different could be offered?
Collaborative models of blogging (international group) and readership – virtual participation in events.
Latterly, more use of Twitter than blogs (many archived).
Claims made for social media and Web 2.0 (the rhetoric)
Applications will provide benefit to the international health,biomedical and nursing informatics communities
- will allow users to interact with a dynamic, multimedia, and engaging Web platform
- will foster interaction, communities, etc.
- will change the way we work
- will change healthcare, medicine, nursing, informatics, etc.
The 1% Rule
The 1% rule - if you get a group of 100 people online then one will create content, 10 will "interact" with it (commenting or offering improvements) and the other 89 will just view it.

How much is REALLY interaction via social media, as opposed to continuing to broadcast/consume?
- is this a real problem/dichotomy?
The 1% Rule
http://gigaom.com/europe/bbc-1-percent-rule/
Social media – the growth of interaction(?)
Web 2.0 – coined late 2004Twitter – launched July 2006Facebook – launched 2004LinkedIn – launched 2003
Blog (weblog) - emergence and growth of blogs in the late 1990s coincided with the advent of web-based publishing tools that facilitated the posting of content by non-technical users- term coined late 1997 – widely used from around 2002/03.

Lessons:
Our patients are ahead of us (they expect more than we deliver). Hospitals etc need to keep up with patients' expectations.
Social media is more than the sum of its parts

What Social Media Websites Are Health Care Providers Using for Professional Networking?
Which do you use? - and why?
There are multiple/duplicate channels
Not a case of 'either/or'
Often many used for same purposes - eg reposting from Twitter to Facebook or vice versa
Codes of conduct and guidelines on social media

Are they all 'thou shalt not' – or do they take account of chaning practice and expectations?
