Are you careful about privacy and HIPAA policies within your practice?
A few basic initiatives that office managers can do to reduce the likelihood of unethical, or illegal, information sharing include sensitizing staff on how even seemingly innocent information sharing can turn into a serious privacy or confidentiality breach, and also creating an overall attitude of caution and discretion publishing in any health related information in any form. Obviously, related information shared with medical or technical consultants involved in the patient’s care is perfectly acceptable.
It is critical for clinics and practices to set strict policies on social networking and data sharing. These policies include smart phones in the office and anything that can be transmitted through social networking.
