FDA’s Social Media Consumer Outreach Up

Article

Applied Clinical Trials

The pilot involved several CDER employees working together with OEA employees to respond to drug related inquiries posted on FDA’s Facebook page.

 

In 2014, The FDA’s Office of External Affairs (OEA) and Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) began a 90-day pilot program to improve consumer engagement by enhancing its social media responses, specifically to drug related inquiries more quickly and proactively. The pilot involved several CDER employees working together with OEA employees to respond to drug related inquiries posted on FDA’s Facebook page. The pilot was successful and as a result has become a permanent program. 

Other highlights from the social media update are the dashboards offered-OEA Dashboard within the OC Administrative Offices Dashboard. Also noted in the dashboards is the delay of an implementation for an FDA-wide social media policy, targeted now for end of May 2016.
