How does social media integrate with EHR, PHI? | EHRintelligence.com

The discussion about social media policy in the clinic goes beyond simply being template to be borrowed from another organization because it must represent the culture and be consistently enforced. The vision and mission of the clinic that includes the context of social media and its appropriate use by employees includes expectations about how everyone represents the organization. Considerations such as how employees may represent the clinic during or outside of business hours or perhaps not at all on social networking sites may lead to the question of how to enforce a policy outside of the workplace. There is value in tailoring the policy to be more specific rather than just requiring discussions to be “appropriate” or “respectful” while at the same time allowing some discretion. Engaging people in the social clinic is an ongoing dialogue in which digital conversations may take on lives of their own.
