Resumen

Introducción: Los hospitales hacen frente a un contexto cambiante que les obliga a acelerar su transformación digital: cibersalud, nuevos modelos de negocio, competencia global, etc. En este contexto, las redes sociales se han convertido en una herramienta útil para transformar dichos hospitales y mejorar su imagen pública. Objetivo: Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar cómo los mejores hospitales del mundo gestionan las redes sociales para difundir contenido relacionado con la marca y de este modo reforzar su reputación. Metodología: Para ello, realizamos una revisión bibliográfica sobre comunicación en salud, redes sociales y marcas; posteriormente, analizamos cómo los 100 mejores hospitales del mundo gestionan sus redes sociales (Facebook, Twitter, Youtube), así como sus propios sitios web corporativos para promover su marca; y finalmente, proponemos diferentes implicaciones de gestión. Resultados: La mayor parte de los hospitales recurren a su página web (76%) y sus perfiles corporativos en Facebook (78%), Twitter (73%) y Youtube (78%) para promocionar su marca. Conclusiones: Los hospitales deben priorizar un enfoque de comunicación corporativa, centrarse en contenido útil para cada stakeholder y promover sesiones de formación para ayudar a los empleados a convertirse en embajadores de marca.
