Social Indiscretions: Doctors, admin workers and nurses in Great Britain just can’t seem to keep their mouths shut (figuratively speaking) when it comes to social media sites. According to one study, National Health Service (NHS) staff are guilty of discussing sensitive patient information on Facebook about five times per week. HIPAA regulations in the U.S. certainly aren’t keeping the problem in check, either. Far too many nurses make the mistake of posting about work-related issues on Facebook without considering the ramifications for patients.
Tip: Use Facebook for posting about things that are going on in your non-work life (vacations, kids, hobbies). Don’t use it to update friends and family on the latest patient drama. Never take photos at work to post online.
