Perubahan perilaku konsumen yang semakin mengandalkan informasi dari platform digital, termasuk Instagram, mengharuskan institusi kesehatan seperti Rumah Sakit untuk menyesuaikan strategi komunikasi mereka. Pergeseran penggunaan alat media ini, di antaranya terjadi pada Rumah Sakit di Indonesia seperti RS Grha Kedoya, Jakarta, yang semula mengandalkan media konvensional (seperti suratkabar, radio dan televisi), dan belakangan menggunakan media sosial seperti Instagram.

Oleh karena itu penulis melakukan analisis penggunaan media digital di RS tersebut. Oleh karena itu studi kasus dengan pendekatan deskriptif ini membahas peristiwa, perilaku, dan aktivitas serta proses yang dilalui pada media sosial Instagram Rumah Sakit Grha Kedoya (@grhakedoya). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggantian alat media ke media sosial karena jangkauan yang lebih luas, efektivitas biaya, interaksi dua arah, kampanye yang lebih tepat sasaran, penyampaian informasi yang cepat, dan peningkatan kesadaran merek. Dengan mengganti alat media itu, maka RS Grha Kedoya dapat meningkatkan efisiensi komunikasi internal dan eksternal, mempromosikan layanan dan program kesehatan secara lebih efektif, serta memanfaatkan data dan analisis interaksi media sosial yang terjadi untuk memahami kebutuhan dan umpan balik pasien dengan lebih baik, yang semuanya berkontribusi pada peningkatan kualitas pelayanan rumah sakit. Penelitian ini memberikan manfaat signifikan bagi ilmu pengetahuan, khususnya dalam komunikasi kesehatan, dengan memperkaya pemahaman tentang penggunaan media sosial di rumah sakit.

The shift in consumer behavior, increasingly relying on information from digital platforms, including Instagram, requires healthcare institutions like hospitals to adjust their communication strategies. This shift in media usage is occurring in hospitals in Indonesia, such as RS Grha Kedoya in Jakarta, which previously relied on conventional media (such as newspapers, radio, and television), but have recently started using social media like Instagram. This research aims to understand why hospitals like RS Grha Kedoya, Jakarta, have switched their media tools to social media. Therefore, the authors conducted an analysis of digital media usage in the hospital. Using qualitative method with a descriptive approach as methodology, the study discusses events, behaviors, activities, and processes on the </em><em>Grha Kedoya Hospital’s Instagram account (@grhakedoya). The research findings indicate that the switch to social media is due to broader reach, cost-effectiveness, two-way interaction, more targeted campaigns, rapid information dissemination, and increased brand awareness. By switching to social media, RS Grha Kedoya can enhance internal and external communication efficiency, promote health services and programs more effectively, and utilize data and analysis from social media interactions to better understand patient needs and feedback, all of which contribute to improving the quality of hospital services. This research provides significant benefits to the field of knowledge, particularly in health communication, by enriching the understanding of social media usage in hospitals. The findings can help identify effective communication strategies to convey health information, enhance patient education, and strengthen the relationship between hospitals and the community.</em></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong><em> Social Media; Promotion; Education; Hospital;</em></p> Akrom Arroisi, Salsabila Hanoum Nurifai, Rino Febrianno Boer Copyright (c) 2024 Akrom Arroisi, Salsabila Hanoum Nurifai, Rino Febrianno Boer http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://journal.lspr.edu/index.php/commentate/article/view/704 Thu, 29 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Hubungan Parasosial Antara Penggemar ARMY dan BTS di Weverse https://journal.lspr.edu/index.php/commentate/article/view/688 <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>ABSTRAK</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Penelitian ini berfokus untuk memahami hubungan parasosial atau <em>parasocial relationship</em> (PSR) antara penggemar ARMY dengan Idol BTS di Weverse.
