Healthcare social planning: choose a channel role

Illustrative situation

A healthcare organisation reposts identical material on every social channel, but nobody can explain whether each channel serves recruitment, service awareness or professional relationships.

The decision

Assign a clear role to each maintained channel and plan content for its audience. Stop adding channels that have no owner or useful purpose.

Rehearse this before accepting the change

Remove a low-capacity channel from the draft plan and check whether an important audience loses a necessary route to useful information.

Use fictional examples and an authorised test environment. Record what happened, the evidence you inspected and any issue that still needs a responsible owner.

Choose a useful measure

Review meaningful audience actions by channel against its stated purpose.

Agree the definition and baseline with the team doing the work. Review the result over a comparable period and note other changes that could affect it.
