Social Networking Sites. Do not post information about patients or work-related issues on social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, YouTube, etc. Although these sites can be accessed during your scheduled time off from your own personal computing device (e.g., computer, mobile phone, laptop, etc.), you should remember that due to the nature of your work and the type of business you work in, just small bits of information, put together, can reveal identifying information about patients and cause you to violate privacy laws. Hospital worker: “Today was a bear. This guy came into our facility with a gunshot to the head. I don’t know how he was walking but he must have had a lot of adrenaline ‘cause he really tore up the place asking for help. I had to go downstairs to help clean up the mess.” Friend 1: “That was the guy they showed on TV, right?” Friend 2: “I saw him come in. He was scary. I was the one who called security.” Friend 1: “They said his name was ▇▇▇▇▇▇ something?” Is this an appropriate conversation on a social networking site? Why or why not?
