[SHSMD15 Podcast Series] Healthcare Success is pleased to present our continuing series of conversations with healthcare industry and marketing thought leaders who will be speaking at the 2015 Conference of the Society for Healthcare Strategy & Market Development of the American Hospital Association, #SHSMD15.
In today’s podcast, Healthcare Success CEO Stewart Gandolf talks with Lee Aase, Director of the Center for Social Media at Mayo Clinic regarding his SHSMD15 presentation: Leading Change from the “Other” C–Suite (That’s Communications).
Much has changed in communications since Lee Aase last spoke at SHSMD—perhaps a dozen years ago—and he observes that organizations have the capability to not just pitch stories to the media, but now, to BE the media. It’s a broad based opportunity for healthcare individuals and organizations to connect with stakeholders outside the organization and to empower and engage employees.
What’s more, as leaders contemplate strategic decisions, communications professionals play an important consultative role. In his upcoming presentation, Lee Aase will describe how Mayo is using an owned community platform in support of strategic initiatives throughout the organization.
Never before have there been so many available tools to reach out and connect with the audiences and various communities. Our podcast today touches on the evolution of these platforms and how Mayo Clinic has embraced new channels for broader and deeper communications with the digitally connected community.
Among the ideas and concepts that Stewart and Lee discuss are:

The Mayo Clinic has a 150-year history of public outreach. Today the channels to connect with the public and stakeholders have exploded, and overcome historic barriers of time and space. Effective communications has always needed to play an important role in decision-making. Often, the process of communicating ideas with various publics is part of refining and improving the core concept.
