Before your shift begins, you scroll through Facebook and notice that a
coworker has posted a photo of herself and a patient on Facebook and
described how happy she is that her patient is making great progress.
You have recently completed your annual continuing education
requirements at work and realize this is a breach of your organization’s
social media policy. Your organization requires employees to immediately
report such breaches to the privacy officer to ensure the post is removed
immediately and that the nurse responsible receives appropriate
corrective action.
You follow appropriate organizational protocols and report the breach to
the privacy officer. The privacy officer takes swift action to remove the
post. Due to the severity of the breach, the organization terminates the
nurse.
Based on this incident’s severity, your organization has established a
task force with two main goals:
Educate staff on HIPAA and appropriate social media use in health
care.

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?
