Health Care and the Visibility-Value Continuum

February 17, 2015 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

Last evening I followed a live Twitter event that Baylor Scott and White Health conducted around a heart transplant.  You can see the stream at #HeartTXLive. Rethinking live events in health care While I’ve not been a fan of live Twitter events, this one made me think.  Social health events once conceived in dry, 3rd person narrative have evolved. High def images ... Continue Reading about Health Care and the Visibility-Value Continuum

Weekend Medicine

January 20, 2015 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minute

It’s remarkable that hospitals still keep weekend schedules. On Saturday and Sunday, things stop.  They don’t stop, but they really do.  ORs operate with emergency staffing. Routine diagnostic imaging is held until Monday morning. Saturday and Sunday schedules are a throwback to a time when the tempo of health care was set by the doctor’s rounds and the hands of a ...

Yes, Doctor

June 12, 2014 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minute

Not long ago I cared for the child of a family from a distant country.  When I walked in, they stood up.  When I walked out, they stood up.  It was like The People’s Court. They agreed with whatever I said.  Their obsequious nodding whenever I spoke made me feel brilliant.  They treated me as though I knew it all. The problem was that the family’s insistence on ...

When Hospitals Engage by Megaphone

February 18, 2014 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minute

Why Hospitals Fail to Connect with Their Audience

November 9, 2013 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minute

I spent some time this fall at meetings with professionals who promote hospitals and health institutions.  I like to peek at what they’re doing with regard to their Twitter, Facebook and other feeds. It seems that if you work with a hospital or even a medical school, you have a couple of options regarding the way you connect with the public: Talk about your ...

Passion: What Hospital Blogs Should Seek

August 12, 2013 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minute

At a meeting recently a communication professional asked what skill she should look for when recruiting doctors to write for her hospital’s blog.  I didn’t hesitate.  ‘Passion,’ I responded. Blogging over the long-term is a slog.  You capture an idea, sketch it out, write, add links and tags, basic search optimization, post, promote and hope that it makes a small ...
