Use of social media in healthcare management

Abstract

Background: In recent years, healthcare workers have become more dependent on social media platforms such as blogs, wikis, and social media sites. However, little research has been done on physicians' perspectives and experiences with social media in hospitals. Using social media to better manage health care data is becoming increasingly common. Despite the massive expansion of studies in this field, little effort has been made to look back at previous work. The purpose of the study clearly tends to examine the advantages and disadvantages of the use of social media for managing health data. Objective: The purpose of the study is to gain a summary of the existing data on the health implications of social media services. Methodology: A literature search was undertaken in PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane, Google Scholar, and Scopus for all English-language studies published since 2010 that addressed social media use in any way possible for health care and media.

“…Social media platforms are now great information distribution channels, and the medical sector is no exception [1]. The literature shows a wide use of social networks in the health field including for health promotion, career development or practice promotion, recruitment, professional networking and destressing, professional medical education, telemedicine, scientific research, and critical public health care issues [2,3]. The fields of application appear limitless, and everything seems possible.…”
