I work as a public health nurse in primary school. Communication with adolecents happens through the Wilma app. Different eplatforms and social media has been difficult subject in health care sector for a long time because of high data protection and information security.

Social media is used in our organisation to bring information about service points and for example to tell about what includes to some professonals working days. I think that it could be useful for conveying the right information, and to compare it with the misinformation online. People needs facts to do right choises in daily life. I think that we should cooperate with professional bloggers, think about making podcasts and that way influece on peoples choises.

Even though social media is missing almost completely between clients and professinals, it is used between professionals. We use Teams and other Microsoft O365 services to help our daily work where we don’t need to handle personal data. There is also a lot of apps that we use for example to plan our working days and monitoring of our working hours. We use also internal intranet to the communication wich are common to evry employee in our organisation. If I list the apps that I use at my work, the list would be long.

What kind of new apps would be usefull in my work?

1. The most important tool in my work would be mobiilivarmenne or another similar service, wich helps our sign in problem. We have so much apps we need to sign in, that it would help a lot. Mobiilivarmenne is used in the most common online services like Omakanta, Omavero and other public services. Why not we use it inside the work, now we have to remember very many passwords.

2. Another tool to help our work would be integration that let us to save pictures or documents to patient information system. We have still too much papers in this time and patients services takes too much time because of that.

3. We need some kind of platform to communicate with our clients. For exemple BeeHealthy that private manufactorer, has in usage.

4. In my work as a school nurse we need apps that help to follow adolesents care. For exemple ADHD treatment path would be great tool to help and take care of medicine and therapy needs. It is use in special healthcare, but not in basic healthcare. We have treatment sites like Nepsylapsen omahoito-ohjelma, but it is for the parents only. There is few problems to make services to adolecents because of strong identification and dealing of a half of a minor.

5. I’m quite sure, that professional social media site like You Tube or Facebook would be useful. I was a bit supriced, when I was doing my thesis and found out, how many is using those apps on daily or weekly. You could invite your schools students to the platform and give information about current affairs. At this moment we use Wilma app, but it isn’t very popular among the youth and it doesn’t give a change to sent pictures.

This part of course was nice, I had many eplatforms in usage, but I got new ones into my consciousness. There is much work to make eplatforms to help healthcare sector at public services, but I think that we need to go towards to save costs and time of healthcare specialists. We must be encouraged to take our place at social media as an professional, because our customers are spending time in them.
