Opening Access at UMMC Results  A “No Drama” launch  Decreased patient complaints  Increased employee awareness  Social media = business as usual http://ebennett.org/aamc

Opening Access at UMMCKey factors to our success: Decision made by senior hospital leadership, not IT (or HR) Did a risk / benefit calculation, but used honest math Staff training and accountability put in place Involved all parties – HR, Legal, IT, Medical Staff http://ebennett.org/aamc

Open access brought new services http://ebennett.org/aamc

Patient Support Groups on Facebook Liver Transplant  Hepatitis C Digestive Diseases  Trauma SurvivorsLaunched in March 2011Between 25 and 50 members each

Your Social Media Program Staff Policies and Guidelines Education and Best Practices Monitoring http://ebennett.org/aamc

Staff Policies and Guidelines “Breaching patient confidentiality has less to do with social media or the internet and more to do with our standards.” Will Weider, VP and CIO Ministry Health Care & Affinity Health Systems “No hospital has been sued for HIPAA violations on social media. Some employees have been in violation but all issues have been resolved through HR means.” David Harlow, JD MPH Principal, The Harlow Group http://ebennett.org/aamc

Policy Fundamentals Social Media sites are not HIPAA controlled services But staff must follow existing rules:  Patient Privacy  HIPAA  Behavior Standards Official policies and procedures limit liability http://ebennett.org/aamc

A 12-Word Social Media Policy Don’t Lie, Don’t Pry Don’t Cheat, Can’t Delete Don’t Steal, Don’t Reveal Farris Timimi, M.D. Medical Director Mayo Clinic Center for Social Media http://ebennett.org/aamc
