With the wave of popularity in social media websites like myspace, twitter and facebook over the past 3-4 years, we at RadSciences Group wondered how this newly emerging technology could be wielded to serve the Healthcare industry. Like most organizations right now, hospitals are also faced with reduced recruitment and communication budgets and are turning to social media to keep their workforces engaged.
According to a the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) "Engagement Survey,” of the 1,500 participants, about 79% of the respondents reported they use social media frequently to engage employees and foster productivity, outranking even e-mail (75%). Company blogs are the most popular social media tools (47%), with discussion boards ranking the highest for future planned use.
We are please that www.mymedport.com is helping the healthcare sector with workforce engagement and offering free job postings for non-profit hospitals. The beta test is almost complete and we are looking forward to launching the first healthcare social network.
