Interesting development – thanks for sharing the news and the analysis!

FWIW, the link in the first paragraph above to the Mayo Clinic Center for Social Media is broken; here’s a nonembedded URL: http://socialmedia.mayoclinic.org/

Yes, Mark, I’m SMUG … or, a SMUGGLE. His site does a nice service. He’d be a great interview. We can learn alot from how Lee operates. Thanks

If you can’t wait for the Center to get up and running Lee Aase has organized a great resource website that you can use for a do-it-yourself approach.

It’s called SMUG – Social Media University, Global. It’s an invaluable resource for social media 101 with resources on how to get started with your own healthcare related social media campaign. I’ve used it often -most recently as a way to create a WordPress blog and do an URL redirect.

Thanks, DrV. I appreciate your post and your thoughts on this.

Our first priority for the new center is to strengthen what we’re doing at Mayo, and to infuse social media throughout the organization, for the ultimate benefit of patients. Through the center structure we will be able to offer materials and insights to others, based on what we’re learning in our applications.

I will look forward to catching up with you by phone to talk about this, hopefully in the near future.

The execution point is good, Phil. I wish I had thought of that before pub’ing the post! I can see real demand for what Mayo’s expertise and execution will require the manpower and sensibilities of a big agency. Will be real interesting to follow.
