Twitter Smarts(@DrWes )
1. Follow smart people doing work that is relevant to yours. Trash most others.
2. Post relevant, valuable content of interest to your followers.
3. Watch your time on Twitter. At most, I spend 20 minutes a day on Twitter, and I think it would take me far more time offline to gain and share the same information.
4. Do not EVER post patient information – Tweets are public and searchable on Google.

The Eleven Commandments of Social Media Engagement1. Observe, Listen & Think Before Engaging What are your goals with this tweet/post/comment? Is this
the best platform?
2. Add Value. Be relevant. Be Accurate. Research & attribute your sources.
3. Maintain patient privacy – Don’t post anything about a patient that he/she would recognize themselves. Go beyond HIPAA. Stay away from patient-specific dialogue.
4. Be Respectful. Keep it Civil. Keep it Clean. Don't post material that is profane, libelous, obscene, threatening, abusive, harassing, hateful, defamatory or embarrassing to anyone.
5. Abide by the law. Don't post content that violates any state or federal laws. Get permission to use or reproduce copyrighted content.
6. Be Transparent. Disclose affiliations and conflicts. Clearly identify any advertising as such.
7. Remember - What happens on the Web stays on the Web. Forever. Even if you delete it.
8. Engage with others. Social media is not a place for you to talk without listening, commenting and responding to the conversations around you.
9. Don’t give individual medical advice online
10. Patients are not your friends. Keep your individual Facebook page private.
11. Be yourself. That’s what social media is all about. Show your personality.
