Doctors and Social Media: should the
two mix?
Another local doctor that tweets frequently is Dr. Vandna Jerath, MD of Optima
Women's Healthcare. She tweets both about what's going on in the women's
health field locally and on a more global scale, showing that she keeps up-to-date
with current medical knowledge. She also engages people on a personal level,
whether they are patients or not. For example, awhile back a rather touchy, and
often considered controversial, subject came up. When differing points of view
were presented, she didn't attack or say anything resembling "I'm a doctor so
what I say is the only thing that matters," like many doctors I have encountered.
She addressed each point of view from an honest perspective and even
acknowledged that, in some cases, what is right for one family may not be right
for another. I admit that I was very impressed by this.
I'm not a patient of either of these doctors but I follow them, regardless, as the
information that they share can be helpful, especially in the case of Dr. Jerath.

Social Media Do’s & Don’ts From ACOG
Do’s
Always maintain your professionalism
Be careful with humor and political opinions
Speak in lay terms patients and consumers will understand
Ask your employer and/or hospital if it has social media
guidelines you must follow
Consider creating a social media policy for your practice
Ask your professional liability carrier if it has social media
coverage or guidelines

52. Parker Adventist Hospital | Business of Medicine Seminar | 4/12/2017
Social Media Do’s & Don’ts From ACOG
Don’ts
Don’t discus patients online, even in general terms
Don’t give medical advice (2/2015 committee opinion says medical
information ok)
Don’t post photos of patients or babies (debatable – obtain
permission/consent, not mentioned in 2/2015 committee opinion)
Don’t post anything you don’t want the entire world to read.
Everything you do and say online is public.
Don’t “friend” your patients on Facebook. If you have a personal
Facebook page, consider creating a separate professional one. (left at
physician discretion in 2/2015 committee opinion)
Don’t spend too much time directly promoting your practice. Social
media is about having a conversation, so limit self-serving practice
promotions such as “We have 4-D fetal ultrasound at our downtown
location!”

Digital Health - Definition
“Digital health is the convergence of the digital and
genomic revolutions with health, healthcare, living,
and society. Digital health is empowering people to
better track, manage, and improve their own and
their family’s health, live better, more productive
lives, and improve society. It’s also helping to
reduce inefficiencies in healthcare delivery,
improve access, reduce costs, increase quality, and
make medicine more personalized and precise”. –

Educated, Engaged, & Empowered
“Blockbuster Drug Of The Century – An Engaged Patient” --
Leonard Kish
“Healthcare must be built on a foundation of Health IT-
supported care coordination and patient engagement, there is
no other way to consistently and quickly scale improvements and
care, and to accelerate the overall learning of the health care
system.” --Leonard Kish
“Digital and social media are not only acceptable for the
modern practicing physician, but have become necessary
elements for relating to patients and practicing medicine.
Knowing how to monitor your digital presence and
practicing low-risk behavior will substantially assist you in
limiting your professional online exposure to liability. “ --
