The New Conversation: Taking Social Media from Talk to Action Harvard Business Review Analytic Services, 2011

Mining The Data (NLM)By examining relevant tweets and other comments, NLM will gain insights to extent of use, context for which information was sought, and effects of various health-related announcements and events on usage patterns including:

• Relative frequency with which various NLM resources are mentioned

• Comparison of NLM mentions with mentions of "competitors“

• Identification of urgent information requests for which NLM could "push" vetted information free of advertising or commercial interest

• Effects of topical health issues such as "mad cow" or West Nile Virus or disasters etc. on use of NLM resources

• Effect of changing NLM's interface design and textual/graphic style on usage by consumers

• Effectiveness of NLM use of social media to distribute health information

• Comparable analyses of other NIH, DHHS and private sector health information sources

• Demographic characteristics of those whose messages are being examined to the extent permitted by privacy regulations.

• Ascertaining public interest in using social media for health-related purpose

• Value of tweets and other messages as teaching tools and change-agents for health-relevant behavior
