You often hear in the news about workers being fired from their jobs because they posted confidential/negative information about their company/coworkers. As social media/networking is most likely a mainstay of your personal life, there are some critical points for you to remember:
- Do not talk about patients or patient care events on social networkingsites. Even without the patient name, the information is stillconfidential.
- Do not take pictures of your patients and share them with your colleaguesbecause you’ve seen a fascinating case—this will undoubtedlymerit a call from the compliance office of your institution.
- Do not poke fun about your patients or your superiors on anynetworking site because it almost always backfires and you can bewritten up for lack of professionalism.
