Social Media is the final frontier for the doctor-patient relationship. As physicians and healthcare providers we are held to high behavioral standards. In addition, legal considerations abound in medicine today and will continue to be an issue until our country addresses tort reform. As a profession, we must develop standards for online behavior based on good judgement and common sense. In addition, we must learn to embrace the power of social media and maximize its potential positive impacts on our patients and our profession.
"In spite of the potential pitfalls of social media, I believe that reaching out to patients and colleagues via cyberspace is the future of medicine and will positively impact our ability to provide healthcare in the future." Kevin R. Campbell, MD, FACC

Parents decide whether their children are vaccinated, but they rarely reach these decisions on their own. Instead parents are influenced by their social networks, broadly defined as the people and sources they go to for information, direction, and advice. This study used social network analysis to formally examine parents’ social networks (people networks and source networks) related to their vaccination decision-making. In addition to providing descriptions of typical networks of parents who conform to the recommended vaccination schedule (conformers) and those who do not (nonconformers), this study also quantified the effect of network variables on parents’ vaccination choices.
The conclusions of this study strongly suggest that social networks, and particularly parents’ people networks, play an important role in parents’ vaccination decision-making.
As a patient, please consider yourself the most important piece of your medical team. From my perspective, that is patient centered care.
