Might be interesting to compare hospital facebook likes to your HCAHPS patient perspective survey data: http://ow.ly/iDpsf

Good idea, @jimfloyd! Thanks.

Need to figure out a good way to link CCN/NPI/provider name field to hospital facebook pages. Quick example with GWU Hospital (http://www.gwhospital.com/):

  1. Facebook Graph page search (https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=george%20washington%20hospital&type=page) returns three results:

     {
     data: [
         {
             category: "Local business",
             name: "George Washington University Hospital",
             id: "106860256021827"
         },
         {
             category: "Interest",
             name: "George Washington University Hospital",
             id: "116840311659362"
         },
         {
             category: "Non-profit organization",
             name: "George Washington University Hospital Women's Board",
             id: "290122385770"
         }
     ],
     paging: {
         next: "https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=george+washington+hospital&type=page&limit=25&offset=25&__after_id=290122385770"
     }
 }

  2. Page we are interested in is first in the list (this time) and full likes/checkins/etc details are at https://graph.facebook.com/106860256021827:

     {
     about: "George Washington University Hospital is a 371-bed hospital in Washington, D.C.High-Quality Healthcare. Advanced Medical Technology. World Class Service.",

Thinking out loud here... maybe do a scape of FB pages for hospitals from sites such as: http://network.socialmedia.mayoclinic.org/hcsml-grid/ to create a data set correlated to the CCN/NPI/provider name field?

marks commented 11 years ago

@jimfloyd - great idea! Am all for leveraging previous work.

I'll add reaching out to @mayoclinic to my list unless you have a contact there. (i'd much prefer to help them design/create data export (or better yet an API) process rather than screen scrape with or without their permission)

jimfloyd commented 11 years ago

no contact there... sounds good
