BARRIERS
   Privacy
     Always use privacy controls on your personal social media
      accounts
     Understand that anything you post on the internet stays on the
      internet
     Use professional pages versus personal profiles for social media
      – it is OK for you to direct patients, students or business
      associates to your professional sites


   Patient Confidentiality
       HIPAA applies to social media
       Never post pictures of patients or body parts
       Avoid dates or time frames
       Never post identifying information
       Generalize
PAM’S POSTING RULE
   Before you post, always ask yourself….


    “Would I want my mother
     or my boss to read this?”

   Remember…what goes on the internet stays
    on the internet
PROPOSED: ANA SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY

   1. Patient privacy is a fundamental ethical and legal
    obligation of nurses. Nurses must observe standards of patient
    privacy and confidentiality at all times and in all
    environments, including online. Nurses must not transmit or
    place online individually identifiable patient information. The
    nurse’s primary commitment is to the patient and nurses are
    ethically required to practice with compassion and respect for
    the inherent dignity and worth of every individual
.
   2. Nurses who interact with patients on social media must
    observe ethically prescribed patient –nurse professional
    boundaries. The precepts guiding nurses in these matters are
    no different online than they are in person.

   3. Nurses should take advantage of privacy settings available
    on many social networking sites in their personal online
    activities, and seek to separate their personal and professional
    sites and information online.
PROPOSED: ANA SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY

   4. Use of privacy setting and separation of personal and
    professional information online does not guarantee, however, that
    information will not bleed through or be repeated in less protected
    forums. Therefore, it is prudent for the nurse to evaluate all his or
    her postings with the potential for patient, colleague, or employer
    viewing in mind. Online content and behavior has the potential to
    either enhance or undermine not only the individual nurse’s
    career, but also the nursing profession.


   5. Nurses who view content posted by a colleague that is
    unprofessional or that potentially violates ethical or legal
    obligations should first bring the questionable content to the
    attention of the individual, so that the individual can take
    appropriate action. If the posting is egregious enough or if the
    individual does not remove the posting, the nurse has the
    obligation to report the matter to supervisors or other authorities.

  • 15.

  • 16. PAM’S POSTING RULE  Before you post, always ask yourself…. “Would I want my mother or my boss to read this?”  Remember…what goes on the internet stays on the internet
  • 17. PROPOSED: ANA SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY  1. Patient privacy is a fundamental ethical and legal obligation of nurses. Nurses must observe standards of patient privacy and confidentiality at all times and in all environments, including online. Nurses must not transmit or place online individually identifiable patient information. The nurse’s primary commitment is to the patient and nurses are ethically required to practice with compassion and respect for the inherent dignity and worth of every individual .  2. Nurses who interact with patients on social media must observe ethically prescribed patient –nurse professional boundaries. The precepts guiding nurses in these matters are no different online than they are in person.  3. Nurses should take advantage of privacy settings available on many social networking sites in their personal online activities, and seek to separate their personal and professional sites and information online.
  • 18. PROPOSED: ANA SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY  4. Use of privacy setting and separation of personal and professional information online does not guarantee, however, that information will not bleed through or be repeated in less protected forums. Therefore, it is prudent for the nurse to evaluate all his or her postings with the potential for patient, colleague, or employer viewing in mind. Online content and behavior has the potential to either enhance or undermine not only the individual nurse’s career, but also the nursing profession.  5. Nurses who view content posted by a colleague that is unprofessional or that potentially violates ethical or legal obligations should first bring the questionable content to the attention of the individual, so that the individual can take appropriate action. If the posting is egregious enough or if the individual does not remove the posting, the nurse has the obligation to report the matter to supervisors or other authorities.
