Mental Health and Rehabilitation Centers:
o Context: These centers cater to individuals with mental health issues or those
undergoing rehabilitation for substance abuse. The stigma associated with
mental health and addiction makes privacy paramount.
o Social Media Concern: Discussing patient progress, sharing stories, or even
describing daily challenges can lead to unintentional disclosure of sensitive
patient information.
As a nurse in this setting, you are asked to create the content for a staff update containing a
maximum of two content pages that address one or more of these topics:
· Social media best practices.
· What not to do: social media.
· Social media risks to patient information.
· Steps to take if a breach occurs.
This assessment is not a traditional essay.
It is a staff educational update about PHI. Consider creating a flyer, pamphlet, or one PowerPoint slide (not an entire presentation). Remember it should not be more than two pages (excluding a title and a reference page).
The task force has asked team members assigned to the topics to include the following content in their updates in addition to content on their selected topics:
· What is protected health information (PHI)?
· Be sure to include essential HIPAA information.
· What are privacy, security, and confidentiality?
· Define and provide examples of privacy, security, and confidentiality concerns related to the use of technology in health care.
· Explain the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration to safeguard sensitive electronic health information.
· What evidence relating to social media usage and PHI do interprofessional team members need to be aware of? For example:
· What are some examples of nurses being terminated for inappropriate social media use in the United States?
· What types of sanctions have health care organizations imposed on interdisciplinary team members who have violated social media policies?
· What have been the financial penalties assessed against health care organizations for inappropriate social media use?
· What evidence-based strategies have health care organizations employed to prevent or reduce confidentiality, privacy, and security breaches, particularly related to social media usage?
