Evade writing about particular patients or sharing videos without the consent of patients.
Follow the “dual-citizenship” methodology. Distinct your personal and professional online identities to “maintain professional boundaries”.
Opt for highest privacy settings and regularly check your privacy settings.
All content online may be found. Anything you write can be read/viewed by anyone, anywhere, at any time.
Keep professional limitations online: Evade spreading “friend requests” to patients or accepting friend requests from patients on your personal social networking pages.
Accurately state your credentials; be honest in all your interactions. Avoid any misleading claims.
Always be transparent whether you are posting your comments in a personal capacity or you are working in an organization. Disclose your conflicts of interests.
Protect patient information. Train all your staff on privacy issues. Doctors who own a practice can be sued for the social media activities of their employees, if they violate privacy laws.
Do not post a screenshot of the patient’s medical records on Facebook or any other social media. A patient’s ‘protected health information’, such as their name or photograph, linked to a review may end in a legal dispute.
