overcoming adversity speaker<\/a> for the healthcare industry, I know that social media and patient care can be either a supportive partnership or a treacherous interaction. It will take great determination for administrators to stand up to the unforeseen changes in managing social media priorities.<\/p>\nThe vision to manage change<\/strong><\/p>\nIn February 2017, Mobihealth News<\/em> ran an article entitled: \u201cHow social media can impact healthcare in the right \u2013 and wrong \u2013 ways.\u201d<\/p>\nThe article pointed out that social media is here to stay especially in regard to disseminating information, sharing research, patient experience and patient recruitment for clinical trials. However, healthcare is unlike any other industry<\/em>. There are numerous compliance issues, especially around the FDA and HIPAA. The article states that navigating the doctor-patient relationship can be tricky:<\/p>\n\u201cYou can engage directly via social media with your patients\u00a0about<\/em>\u00a0care, but don\u2019t engage in a doctor-patient relationship.\u201d It is a subtle but important difference. A physician can talk about a new treatment, where patients can read about the treatment, even where it\u2019s offered, but there are risks in going deeper.\u00a0 The article continues:<\/p>\n\u201cHealthcare is the most regulated (of industries) and will continue to be so, and with the complexity of health laws and patient privacy, data protection will remain in the spotlight. So, as we look at these new opportunities, we need to also be thinking about active management of the new data. We have to build out the IT and compliance to evaluate the new risks of tools.\u201d<\/p>\n
As long as the healthcare industry keeps the conversation to IT, data protection and patient privacy, many of us might think of social media concerns as the limited domain of the computer geeks. Nothing could be further from the truth.<\/p>\n
Professional and personal<\/strong><\/p>\nIn Health eCareers<\/em> (March 2019), included an article entitled: \u201cThe Danger of Social Media for Healthcare Professionals.\u201d It focused in the \u201cpeople factor,\u201d not IT departments or data storage.<\/p>\nThe same HIPAA violations we talked about in general terms have gotten healthcare professionals into deep trouble. Such violations recently included a nurse who got fired for taking a selfie with a patient (at the request of the patient!), an ER physician who took a picture of a drunk patient, ER staffers fired for\u00a0offering Facebook condolences to the family of a slain police officer.<\/p>\n
In this time of rapid social media change, the majority of healthcare professionals are even confused about what constitutes their First Amendment rights. In a survey asking if being terminated over a social media post is an infringement of their First Amendment rights,\u00a041 percent\u00a0said \u201cYes,\u201d and another 30 percent\u00a0said \u201cNot Sure.\u201d Unfortunately, in a healthcare setting, any one of those 71 percent could be terminated for confusing their First Amendment rights with HIPAA privacy laws.<\/p>\n
Incidentally, healthcare professionals are routinely being watched for social media posts. Social media monitoring takes place more than 55 percent of the time<\/em> for those who are employed as well as those seeking employment.<\/p>\nThe changes that social media has brought to healthcare are part of a much bigger picture of the challenge that technology presents to every healthcare setting.\u00a0 The changes that are coming are stressful and confusing. Is your healthcare organization ready to rise above the challenge and overcome adversity, or will you become a victim to it?<\/p>\n
