    WOM in Healthcare & Pharma:
    Call for FDA Comments Extended to Feb 15
    WOMMA has extended our call for comments on our open FDA and Social Media blog to Feb 15. We need your opinions to help us shape the future of healthcare and pharma in the social space. The blog is open, but here are a few questions to spark your thought process:

    1. What type of “code of ethics” or “code of conduct” for pharma advertising should WOMMA establish that may be useful as a template for the FDA?

    2. What specifically do you need from the FDA in terms of regulations? What type of standards should the agency enact?

    3. What challenges are you facing with your pharma clients? What can the FDA do to assist you in promoting useful information to consumers in the form of marketing?

    4. What are the specific instances where pharma would accept responsibility by comments made about their products through 3rd party statements?

    5. Do you believe that the FTC standards are useful for your pharma clients? Why?

    Three hundred and sixty-seven US hospitals now use at least one form of social media. YouTube and Twitter have experienced the most growth in the last several years. These findings show that the hospital end of the healthcare industry is more comfortable with getting social than the pharma industry. Perceived regulation has kept phama hesitant to enter the social media game. This may soon change. A recent survey done by Pharmaceutical Executive magazine revealed that 45% of pharma executives feel the need for greater social media presence and 72% plan to invest in it heavily in the next year.
